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.

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_ Жыл бұрын
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.

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?
@its_Matt_B_ Жыл бұрын
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.
@its_Matt_B_2 жыл бұрын
I can see how smoothing would be beneficial for reviewing HR data, but when comparing I prefer to see exactly where the peaks and valleys are. When overlaid with pace or elevation data, IMO it better shows the lag time. 👊🏽

Great review, there have been a few about this watch but none done by an actual runner, Thank you , my question, Are the data fields you see while running(in activity mode), configurable? Thanks
@its_Matt_B_2 жыл бұрын
Cheers, John! I’ve realized I forgot to mention a few features, but I thought about data pages as soon as I posted the video. 🤣 Data fields are fully configurable. You can have a maximum of 6 data fields per page and you can decide which data field goes where. I don’t know how many pages you can have. I added 10 pages before I gave up. 🤷🏻♂️

Sorry I have another Question, on my Garmin 245, my main data screen shows average speed, current speed, distance, just 3 bits of data on my first screen , can I do this on the trex2 ? Thanks , on GPS Balance mode, can you realistically get 40 hrs Of GPS data, . My Garmin will not have enough battery for my up coming 100km, the Coros is a little pricey, will the TREX 2 be ok? Thanks for your help

@@johnmckenna5534 Yes, you can configure your workout screens with up 6 data fields per page. I don't know how many pages you can have, but I added 10 data pages before I stopped. The T-Rex Pro advertises 26 hours of GPS tracking in the most accurate mode. I think it would be fairly close to that, but I haven't done an event that long to test it. What is your predicted 100k time. I'd say you'll be fine if you plan on being under 20 hours or so.

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?

@@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.
