Your initial review made me ditch my old Fenix for the T-Rex 3 and my wife upgraded her Forerunner 245 to the Amazfit Balance and we are very happy. We revently took them to a mountian hike and they went toe to toe with our friends Fenix 7 pro. If you love running and the outdoors, you dont need more than this watch tbh! Ignore the nay sayers

After 1 month using T-REX 3. These are some specs I am totally satisfy will my money: + Crazy long battery: 15-17 days (I run/bike 4-5 times per week, 1 hour each) + Excellent GPS, fast and accuracy. Exactly the same when you compare to Garmin 965 (which cost 3x more) + Zepp coach is amazing, help me run my first Half Marathon. The training program is really customized to each user + Text to speech function is so much handy. You can easily use your voice to reply to a chat (Messenger/Whatsapp/Message...). Also work well with my language in Vietnamese + The AI also very useful. I usually ask for weather, things that I want to understand more... But some cons need to be consider: - No Speaker - Pretty big and heavy if you have small hand - The rubber band sometime make me itchy, just need to wash it everytime I workout

Fenix E still has some advantages if you ignore the price. The body battery / sleep score discussion is the same along with the maps being significantly more detailed and routeable. But for a general smartwatch experience the T-Rex 3 is pretty amazing!

I am into climbing/mountaineering. We generally use 2 watches, one as backup. My Tactix7 was sooo inaccurate for SpO2 (as important for us as heart rate), that I got a TRex2 as the backup. I ended up giving my Tactix7 to a relative: other than the backup flashlight, not a huge upgrade over my old Fenix6. Just got my TRex3, thanks to your excellent review. I haven’t climbed yet, but the offline maps look very promising. I still like my Garmins but, the clunkyness, slow renderings, and specially the unbelievable bugs on the Fenix8 not only stopped me (and team) from even trying to get them: we have ‘Nokia-feelings’ (Blackberry-feelings, perhaps?) towards our Garmin equipments: excellent brand that, overconfident on their uniqueness, failed to be ahead of the game. What the hell, Garmin! Being challenged by Apple, I can understand. Loosing the bid to Amazfit, we are all stunned.

Been running one for 9 days now. I agree that the sleep metrics don't accurately portray my reality. When it comes to workout metrics, however, I find it easily equal to my Fenix 7x Solar. I thought I would miss the Garmin, but I don't. Obviously I am not running the 8, so the Amazfit isn't up to that level, but I believe it better than the 7 series. I have been on the Garmin ecosystem for a while now, and I miss it, but not enough to switch back (yet).

I'm with you, I love the watch at the price. I have had mine about the same amount of time as you. I love the new features that you outlined like voice to text, photos in text and other features you already mentioned. **CONS; I am a bit perplexed and disappointed after owning the T-Rex 2. It appears there are a few features that are 1 step forward and 2 steps back from the T-Rex 2. Examples are I have lost the ability to use the remote camera (android user). I also really liked the music/podcast streaming option controlling your phone streaming content which is now gone. These two alone don't ruin me on the watch, but they are features that I believe someone dropped the ball on. Just an opinion😉.

At last ordered T-Rex 3 after watching all your videos about it. (my preference is better battery life)... after using Garmin Fenix 5s for a long time, difficult to switch away from Garmin, but Garmin 8 is way toooooO expensive.. $210 vs $1,000+. (One thing scaring me, I have thin wrist, shifting from 42mm to 48mm is a gamble).

Add a version with an LED flashlight and they will likely have a Garmin convert out of me when I move on from my Fenix 7X SS. I'd prefer to stay MIP having previously also owned a Epix and Epix Pro. I just really like the MIP displays, but 2000nit might just be enough to not be so annoyed by glare.

If they continue to progress like that it will be very interesting very soon..

Nice follow up review. About importing routes to watch, one can use the option in app under Profile / 3rd-party account linking / Komoot / Import routes, to import planned routes in Komoot. So you avoid gpx exporting.This is for now the best way for me. Nothing for Strava unfortunately, so sync Strava with Komoot and upload to watch.

I also liked this watch overall. But i miss BLE HR sharing. Looks like it was better possible on older watches(software versions). Now I've ended up with the Garmin Fenix 8 after all. The Garmin also feels a little more comfortable on the wrist if you wear it for several days. And during strength training, for example, it recognizes the muscle areas better. But the Garmin is of course 3-4 times more expensive.

Wanted to ask your opinion on the running on treadmill feature, as T-Rex gives u two options, either let t-rex calculate automatically your speed like every other watch, but they are also offering stable speed which allows you to set the speed as on treadmill(and adjust it, but you have to pause activity), which seems like a really good idea to me, however as a previous consumer of suunto and garmin, they don’t have that feature to choose, is there any reason why?

Tough call, the Fenix 6 still has some advantages like Body Battery and sleep metrics seeming more accurate. Then there's the mapping which is still superior on garmin even though it's a bit laggy. The T-Rex 3 feels more modern and has a more intuitive user interface. It provides a funner "smartwatch" experience but I'd say it's still not as capable in terms of being a sport watch. It will boil down to your needs and what you're looking for.

how long does it take to charge? does showing a map & gpx track always need to be in a routing or exercise mode and thus need more battery? I think about using it for a thru hike with lots of GPX tracks and actually a huge offline map or pushing the amazfit map from the phone again and again....not sure if this is convenient. I think editing routes on a different app and push a bunch of gpx files to the Zepp app is no big deal, as long as the import for more files and push them to the watch works fine. cause great map apps (like Locus Maps & BRouter) can do the editing much better.

Not considering the price range would you prefer to take the t-rex 3 or the balance?

Can u compare the calories burn data with main brands like Samsung or apple. I have the t rex 3 and the Samsung watch ultra. I put them both on a consistent workout activity at the same time one on each of my wrists.and the Samsung usually shows 5000 calories burn for a 11 hrs workday but the t rex 3 is only showing 3000 calories for the same amount??? Which one is the misleader or the lyer??l here Samsung or the t rex 3???

So while it’s not a fenix 8 killer well what about the fenix 7x pro solar sapphire (WiFi) would this be a killer comparison to that? I was able to get the fenix 7x pro for $700 would you say this is a good value or would you say the t-Rex 3 or another Garmin watch is worth it or better?

Is the "always on" display truly always on? Doesn't turn off or dim no matter what?
@ChaseTheSummit
@ChaseTheSummit 4 күн бұрын
It stays on but it does dim down like other Amoled watches. They have to do this otherwise it would kill the battery and be at risk of burn in.

Looking to get my first gps watch. Don't feel i need most of the features offered. Plan on using it as a hunting watches. So, gps, altimeter, and barometric info is priority. I like the price of this particular watch. Would you recommend it to a newbie?
@ChaseTheSummit
@ChaseTheSummit 2 ай бұрын
It's a great watch but if you want something simpler and more geared towards hunting the Garmin Instinct series might be a better move.

I almost always have my phone with me to listen to podcasts. Is it wise from a battery point of view to give the watch this option?

How do you get this watch to sync data to Apple fitness? I know it works with Apple health but nothing transfers to the fitness app so my rings don’t close.
