AMAZFIT T-REX 2: full review and RUNNING GPS/HR comparison with COROS, POLAR, and GARMIN.

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

My Polar belt works with my T-Rex 2 now. They added support to external sensors. So anyone balancing whether or not to buy it on that right now that are reading this: you would be covered.

[@its_Matt_B_]

Thanks for the update! 👊🏽

[@aimanaziz3497]

How to connect?

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

​@@aimanaziz3497 - Click back button (bottom-right) - Select Settings - Select workout accessories - Click the plus sign to add device The target device needs to be enabled for connection. My Polar Belt is always ready to accept any connection. For other devices it will be similar to connecting them to your phone.

Finally!!!!! A review worth watching! I have the watch and I love it so far! you forgot to mentioned that in future update the T rex 2 will be able to upload maps! for $229 its unreal!

[@its_Matt_B_]

Thanks for watching, Carlos! I mentioned briefly about the course upload coming in a firmware update, but it is only a course (a green line on a black screen). There will not be any mapping on this watch! You will be able to follow the course, but won't have any detail.

[@philj745]

Goodness what an excellent review! Very comprehensive with most of the T-Rex2's features concisely reviewed and to the point. A lot to go over and you did a fantastic job, much appreciated. A solid entry level swiss army watch of activity tracking at a very reasonable price. Thank you for your time and effort this helped me a great deal!!

I'm so glad you got something out of this video, and thank you for taking the time to write such kind words about my review!

[@calembur]

Outstanding video. I ordered my T-Rex 2 and am looking forward for it. Wrt the GPS, bare in mind that you are trying to find precision in a system that isn't as precise as one may think. There are many errors in the system (atmosphere, satellite orbit, satellite clock, multipath etc) and 4 satellites is absolutely the bare minimum for a 3D position. Proper receivers use as many satellites are possible (10+), receive corrections for the errors (differential GPS). Cell phones take advantage of WiFi networks and other sources to triangulate a better position, A-GPS (Assisted) via Internet, and software like Waze etc will know the car must be driving on the road and not the sidewalk. (source: I've worked with GPS since the mid-90s so I have an idea). The watches - all of them - have nothing of this.

[@its_Matt_B_]

You're right, and I often forget this and let my accuracy-expectations get out of control!

I found it surprising and also not surprising. I use the watch in GPS mode a lot more than it was tested for. I also have the always on display on for 13 hours a day AND have my heart rate constantly tracked. I always take the quotes time with a pinch of salt because I know it’s been tested in a lab and not in real world settings and definitely not tested to the extent I use my devices. I was actually happy with the 5 days of battery life considering my usage.

Hi Matt. I hope you be graet I am preparing for the marathon and I started my training under the coach's supervision and now I am stuck between T-Rex 2 and Coros Pace 3 and I don't know which one to choose? In your opinion, which one shows a more accurate pace in fartlek or interval training? and thanks a lot for the review. I'm de*ad series your channel is perfect

[@its_Matt_B_]

Thanks for your kind words! I would definitely go with the COROS Pace 3. It’s a far superior running watch!

[@avidwriter2882]

I guess if it tracks tighter its shorter and the others were looser and gave a longer distance? Would be hard to get a dialed in unless you ran straight only?

Yes, I'd say this is true. There would probably be no discrepancy when running in a straight line, at least for shorter distances.

After a few years with Garmin Instinct (recently Instinct 2x) I wanted some color ;) So I ordered TREX2. I must admit that in the future I will want to buy the Garmin Fenix 7x again, but for now I can't afford it and I will see if I have Trex2 if I need a more advanced watch. I remember when I had my first Trex that after some time it reset itself, turned it on and off. I don't know if a reset would help, but it really irritated me. If it's the same here, I'll quickly say goodbye to it and go back to Garmin.

Thanks for the review. I’m looking into a new fitness watch. I’m not a serious athlete but like to keep fit and monitor my stats. The Garmin watches seem great but very expensive and I never really liked my forerunner 600 series - the touch screen was not very responsive. The Trex2 looks a good bet for me. I especially like the look of the screen. My old eyes need something very clear! I still need to check a few other options but the Amazfit Trex2 is certainly top of the list so far. I might see if I can hang on for the Black Friday sales and see if I can get a few quid off. One quick question. Can you zoom in for navigation? If maps do get added in a firmware update I’d like to be able to see them! Thanks again.

[@its_Matt_B_]

Hi! Good idea waiting for Black Friday to get a better deal. No, at this time you cannot zoom in on maps. I’d suggest staying away from touch screens if you’re looking for stand alone fitness watch. They can be a bit finicky if you get them wet (rain/sweat). This doesn’t mean as much of you plan to use it as a daily watch as well as fitness.

Yes, I'm still using this, however it is not my daily watch anymore. I also did not see the point in upgrading to the T-Rex Ultra. The offline map support just wasn't a feature I wanted to pay for, and I think the battery life of the new one is actually less.

Shouldn't a heart rate monitor inherently measure the heart rate differently than a monitor attached to the wrist? & Shouldn't it have a natural delay?

I don't think so. The time between beats should be the same. The trouble with wrist based HR monitors are the lights they use. THey don't work well all the time and work differently in different conditions and with different skin tones.

I would say for the hr comparison, you will need to do so e smoothing of the data.. prolly need to apply some filter to smooth the lines out, this way it will be a better comparison.. rather than sharp peaks and valleys.

This is a great video, nice work. even though I'm not bilingual. I am looking for an outdoor multisport watch. I don't compete. I already had a stratos but unfortunately it broke at the strap attachment. I bought a Mobvoi Ticwtach pro ultra and unfortunately the autonomy is catastrophic. Today I hesitate in the T-Rex 2 and the Garmin Venu 2, the Fenix is too expensive. When do you think?

[@its_Matt_B_]

I think this is the best value out of all the watches you listed. I’m hoping Mobvoi does something good with the next TicWatch Pro, which should be coming out soon-ish.

[@Covaimartin]

I would like to know the voice alerts in T-Rex 2 like will it ask us to go for a walk if we are sitting for a long time.. 2. Abnormal heart rate voice notification..

[@its_Matt_B_]

IDK. I'll test and follow up!

[@Covaimartin]

@@its_Matt_B_ thanks, I'll decide after your comment

[@its_Matt_B_]

@@Covaimartin I cannot find anything on my T-Rex 2 for it to give me voice notifications. The only way the watch notifies the wearer to get up and move around or high/low HR detection is by sounds and/or vibrations. You have to set specific HR limits at both the high and low end. It’s very easy to set up. The T-Rex 2 does not detect heart arrhythmia.

@@its_Matt_B_ Thank you

[@Covaimartin]

Waiting for your review on falcon as it has AI features.

[@alejandro1924]

Thanks Matt,you’re very thorough. The reason why I bought he watch is I saw a video where one can send sos notifications to another phone including a short message and gos coordinates. Do you have any idea how it’s done? Thanks in advance

[@its_Matt_B_]

No, I’m sorry I don’t know about that feature, but I’m going to look into it. I’ll check back in and let you know when/if I find out about it.

[@its_Matt_B_]

I haven't tried any of those watches. Sorry!

[@ageingungracefullypushingt7135]

Excellent Review.

[@its_Matt_B_]

Thanks for watching and commenting! 👊🏽

[@MrPerroballoo]

Very complete review ...

[@its_Matt_B_]

Thanks for watching! 👊🏽

[@diegomejia7446]

I think that after a firmware update you can actually pair an External HR sensor, could confirm please, I'm looking to buy this watch

[@its_Matt_B_]

I’ll get back to you!

[@matthewstopint8852]

yes now yes

[@vivekdusane489]

Dear Matt you just got a new subscriber. I have Samsung galaxy watch 3, should I buy Garmin FR 55 ? ( I am interested in running only)

[@its_Matt_B_]

Thanks so much Vivek! The FR55 is.l great watch! Did you watch my video on it, or the comparison to the COROS Pace 2. If not, check those out before buying!

[@gianlucaierpi2258]

Hi, thank you for your review, do you know if the possibility of associating some external sensors will be added among the next updates? I am referring in particular to the power and cadence sensor to be associated when you ride a bike, or also to the possibility of associating a heart rate monitor even if the t rex 2 has its own internal function. Thanks

[@its_Matt_B_]

No. I am not expecting future updates to include support for external sensors.

[@gianlucaierpi2258]

@@its_Matt_B_ thanks for your quick reply.

[@gokuafrica]

Amazing review! Can this watch be used in a swimming pool? I generally swim 1-2 hours daily and would appreciate a good companion in the water.

[@its_Matt_B_]

Yes. You can set the watch to record laps in any pool length you swim in!

[@gokuafrica]

@@its_Matt_B_ Thank you for the additional info!

[@MrPetrolucio]

Ehat you think about GTR 3 pro think its better than this onr and stratos 3?

[@its_Matt_B_]

I think that all three are so similar that you should probably choose which watch you like the look of best!

[@MrPetrolucio]

@@its_Matt_B_ Thank you 💪🏼

[@DigiDudeMI]

For the workout mode, can you customize which KPIs appear on the watch during the workout?

[@its_Matt_B_]

Yes.

[@DigiDudeMI]

@@its_Matt_B_ Thanks Matt

[@haroooooooon]

This is excellent. A great series for your channel could be running-specific reviews for less common smartwatches. DCR and company cover the typical fitness watches well, but there is a dearth of running reviews for watches like Amazfit, Ticwatch, etc!

[@its_Matt_B_]

Yes, you’re right! Excellent idea for the channel! 🤔 Have you seen my review of the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra?

[@haroooooooon]

@@its_Matt_B_ yup! And I was really impressed. If Mobvoi ever got around to upgrading them to WearOS 3, I'd get one!

[@nimagholipour]

Hi. Thanks for reviewing. May I ask you which other amazfit watches support interval running?

[@its_Matt_B_]

This is my first Amazfit watch, so I can’t speak for any of the others, but this T-Rex 2 supports interval running! 👊🏽

[@splatmatt]

Does amazfit/Zepp app sync with Apple Health? If so, what syncs: workouts? HR? etc

[@its_Matt_B_]

The Zepp app doesn’t sync directly with Apple Health, but you can sync to Strava and then automatically transfer to Apple Health from there.

[@brunomelo488]

Great review. There is a lap mode for interval runs on the track?

[@its_Matt_B_]

Yes, although I don’t have access to a track so haven’t tested it. According to the specs the track mode should be incredibly accurate due to the dual frequency GPS.
