Amazfit T-Rex 3 FULL Review + (A Few) Tips!

[@techgadgets100]

The new Amazift T-Rex 3 is a feature back powerhouse. The battery life is amazing and I think it offers a good value compared to other watches with similar features. But as always I found a few cons that you should know about before you buy this watch.

[@squinte1]

I just ordered one based off your review. When will the tips and tricks video coming out?

[@maks_zbogar]

Thank you, sir. I bought this watch two days ago and was unfamiliar with all the functions. There was no way for me to figure out how to enable the mobile phone music controller. Now I have learned to swipe up for watch music control and change it to control my phone music. Amazfit should adopt your video for their manual with a notice: Watch before use. Thank you!

[@techgadgets100]

That is very kind to say, thank you! I wish I could use your comment as my promo, you are hyping my channel better than I am! 😊🥰

[@maks_zbogar]

@techgadgets100 I've contacted Amazfit support multiple times without getting a response. After watching your video from beginning to end, all my questions were answered. Your video should be featured on their support page. I'll send them the link to your video, and if they're smart, they'll include it. Thank you again!

It's beautiful, big but needed. People complained about phones being to big and now look, everyone has a big phone. I really think it will be a big hit. Really looks like a Hublot watch

[@techgadgets100]

I agree, I have yet to meet a watch, tablet or phone that was too big 🙂

[@ThePakii91]

i was for buying it but then i read this comment that resembles an hublot and i change my mind…😅

[@mobiletechtv835]

Thanks for sharing your opinion and your very short lived thought process. The fact that I had to tell you it looks like a Hublot? Did you not see that when you first thought about purchasing it? LOL. Mad guy. Just admit it's too expensive..

[@bretth9096]

Great review, very informative and in-depth. I've ordered the T-rex 3 and should have it within the next few days.. looking forward to replacing my Fitbit Sense (display has a lot of burn in now). 👍

[@techgadgets100]

Thank you! 😊 Enjoy your new watch! I have more tips & tricks videos coming. This watch can do a lot!

[@burvil]

Big Like for the review. I just got mine this morning and I was playing with the settings. Your video helped a lot and is very well structured.

[@techgadgets100]

Thank you! 😀 I am working on the tips and tricks video for \the T Rex 3, there is a lot this watch can do. Stay tuned!

[@paulbedard5786]

Hi. Thank you for your amazing descriptions of the inner workings of the watch. I have been using it for a week now but your detailed explanations were perfect. I was hoping I could throw a few bucks your way but there is not an option. Cheers!

[@techgadgets100]

Wow! That is so nice to say, thank you! 😊😍 Instead of cash, maybe just share and tell other people about my channel! Thanks you!!

[@RIP....]

I did not find screen protection , the bracelet from t rex 2 are now good

[@techgadgets100]

I did not test this one, but I think it should do the trick. amzn.to/3BMCXEr

[@Tekz12]

Actually the name of the watch face is 'Refined Chart' and underneath it's telling you it's a power intensive watch face.

[@techgadgets100]

Thank you for the correction! not sure how I messed that up! I did list the names of all the watch faces that appeared in the video- hopefully correctly. Thanks for watching!

[@cmanunes]

I'm considering buying this watch and it would be good to see some insights from an athlete's perspective. Like for example when running/cycling does it have a button that when clicked it would start a new lap? For running a lap is 1 km and cycling would be each 5 km. For swimming is there a button when clicked it would finish the laps you did on a pool and go to rest between sets and clicked again it would start a new set? Is there a way to set you HR/FTP zones? I've seen other videos where the GPS and HR accuracy is now pretty good on this watch

[@techgadgets100]

I will just assume that you asking me as an athlete and not hoping for other viewers to comment- I am flattered. 😊 It automatically alerts you at 1 mile (or km outside of US) mark, and can read out your stats for the mile. You can also press the bottom right button to start a new lap at any time. For swimming, it will keep track of your laps and asks for lap distance when you start workout. You can pause and restart but it does not keep track of pause times in stats but the watch will start a timer to show how long that pause is. You can make training templates and set work out times, breaks and cool down times, which might help you. as of now, you can not set the HR zones. In my testing, the GPS and HR were very accurate. the GPS also locked in a few seconds, quicker than a lot of other watches. Hope that helps!

[@crodriguez2004]

Interested in buying my first smartwatch and was wondering any recommendations . . Have samsung phone and was looking for a really nice that can do alot with health tracking . .

[@techgadgets100]

Wow that is a wide open question. If you have a samsung phone, their watches do offer a few extra health features. The regular Samsung watch 7 will likely do everything need. The Amazfit T rex and Balance are great watches but dont have google apps if you are interested in those. But if you are just looking for basic features you may be fine with a cheaper watch. Check out my channel home page, I have a few playlists with budget watches, premium watches and long battery life watches, that might help. www.youtube.com/@techgadgets100

What does the Climbing Difficulty Calculator app in the Zepp store do? What is it used for?

[@techgadgets100]

Sorry, that I dont know. Honestly, I usually dont use any of the apps in the Zepp store. I just have not found anything useful.

[@basilal-bader7143]

Where can you access the Chime settings? I can only see vibration settings.

[@techgadgets100]

The chime noise is called buzzer. Go to settings, sound and vibration, then click on buzzer scenes to activate. the "other" toggle will turn it on for alarms and timers. cant turn it on for notifications as of yet. Thanks for watching!😀

[@jeffc1604]

Really informative - thanks for putting so much effort into it. I've only just received the watch and still becoming familiar with it. My use is primarily for navigating cross country tracks. That's where the maps are 'good' rather than 'excellent', at least for UK conditions. They seem to use the OpenStreet Maps (OSM) which are pretty comprehensive. That's where Garmin are better supported as third party suppliers embellish the basic OSM maps, making them much more detailed. However there is no support for Amazfit watches and anyway there is no provision to import third party maps. Importing .gpx files is very easy to do but it's important to also download the corresponding map (once I forgot to do this!). It still works without the map by just showing the route but obviously it's better to see the route in conjunction with the surrounding terrain. Also, I don't think it is possible to zoom in on a previewed planned route unless the GPS recognises that you're physically in that map area. Please correct me if that is not true! Thanks again!

[@techgadgets100]

If you dont have a KZbin channel you should start one! It sounds like you know what you are talking about! I am still working on the tips and tricks video, hopefully you get something out of it! 🤔

[@Hagen_Music_Sounds]

Bro, can you set a point on the map and then turn by turn there on Amazfit?

[@techgadgets100]

yes, but you have to save the location while you are at the location. then you can route back there any time you want. You could also import a GPX file and pick any location.

[@Hagen_Music_Sounds]

@@techgadgets100 Oh no, that isnt what Im looking for. I want to select a point on the clock map and the set it to take me there. Like Garmin has.

Best review about Trex 3, thanks for your job 👌

[@techgadgets100]

Thank you for the kind comment! 😊

[@kroemmuy452]

So sorry it has no a speaker for calling if if had, I would buy as fast.

[@techgadgets100]

I know!! ☹️ That and a rotating crown and this would have been the watch to beat!

[@rickkhan4307]

Trex 3 or garmin instinct 2x solar?

[@techgadgets100]

Sorry, I have not reviewed the instinct.

[@paulcarney9236]

Is there a way to do a lactate threshold on the trex 3?

[@techgadgets100]

I was a little tired and thought this was a joke. I thought you were asking about _lactation_ information from a smart watch. 😆 Then I realized what you were asking. As far as I know, the Amazfit T rex 3 does not measure lactate threshold. I think it has the hardware for it but the software does not offer the feature.

[@flowerdealer]

Can't find that watchface, what category is it under?

[@techgadgets100]

I hope you are referring the the watchface on the thumbnail- because it took me forever to find it again. Black sand is in the category Sense of technology and quite a way down. Or course this can change... I usually click the top right icon in watch faces and then it shows then all together with the free ones on top.

[@flowerdealer]

@@techgadgets100 It was the Roto Pro GP but I found it scrolling down in that category, thanks! This store really needs a search function!

[@techgadgets100]

Yes, that would be next I my list for Amazfit to fix. Especially since there are so many watch faces available.

[@kamalp9520]

I cannot see the watch face u use in zepp app

[@techgadgets100]

I list the names of all the watch faces in the video. Unfortunately, there is no search feature for watch faces in the zepp app. So you have to scroll They are all there and all free.

Does this watch have a blood pressure monitor?, I can't find it anywhere.

[@techgadgets100]

Sorry, no blood pressure measurement.

[@hunghongshum924]

@@techgadgets100 in asia Amazfit T-Rex 3 have blood pressure measurement.

[@RIP....]

Do u know if this is the only version ? No ultra ? I return mine , the plastic are are veryyyy cheap , the adapters for another bracelet is dumb etc . I go for the ultra

[@techgadgets100]

Amazfit does have an Ultra but it came out in March 2023. The t rex 3 beats it in almost all categories. Amazfit also says screen made of "glass material" on the Ultra, I assume Gorilla glass on T rex 3 is better. Also the Ultra is more expensive, it was initially released at $399 in US, currently it is selling for $299. Amazfit may treat the Ultra as a separate series and it may release an updated T rex "ultra" but as of now it appears that the T Rex 3 is the successor.

[@RIP....]

@@techgadgets100 yeah but the t rex 3 has cheap materials , ultra is more premium

[@eml3148]

Just purchased the T-Rex 3 and I'm disappointed because i thought the T-Rex 2 had much better Watch Faces. I also found several Erroneous statements saying that the T-Rex 3 can share Same Watch Faces as the T-Rex 2, This is Wrong. T-Rex 3 Can Not Use the same faces, so you have to REPURCHES the same watch faces as the T-Rex 2, If they're Available, Many aren't.

[@techgadgets100]

I am sorry about that, but I did not talk about that in my video. I did not review the T Rex 2 and did not comment about transferring the watch faces from the 2 to the 3. But I agree if you purchased them, then Amazfit should be able to transfer them (free of charge)- they should be able to make adjustment for the screen size difference.

[@TomoBird]

Amazfit Balance its better

[@techgadgets100]

The Balance and the T rex 3 are designed for different people. I like the speaker and rotating crown on the Balance. But the T-rex 3 has more durable design and actually improves on the battery life. I have a few videos on the Amazfit Balance, this is the tips and tricks video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGHMhXqJi7R_ZqM Oh you want another one? Here is the original full review. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHuxq4eLiNipm7s Thanks for watching!

[@zaraizara2794]

Your voice audio is bouncing left and right. Extremely annoying.

[@techgadgets100]

Sorry about that, I will try to fix. I really do spend a lot of time editing my videos to keep things like that from happening, but will be more mindful of audio balance in future. Thanks for feedback.
