Amazfit T-Rex 3: Superb rugged $280 GPS sports watch

[@sradical8136]

I have had amazfit watches for the last 5 years and love them..keep coming back even after getting a galexy watch ultra. All this trex needs is a speaker for phone calls, payments in the US and Spotify support...

[@palmsolo]

Agreed on all points. I was hoping with the mic that it would have a speaker for calls, but sadly it is not there this year. Payments may come in the future, but I think Spotify is going to be tough with the cost of those kinds of partnerships.

[@GiuseppeSavo]

for spotify there should be an app in the store. But I don't know how and if it works.

Great video! Thanks for the shout out!

[@assassino54]

[@HSsharma37]

​@@assassino54launched in india for 239 usd and got Credit card discount of 30usd, leading to buy price of 209usd😅, here smart watch market is fairly competitive.. no body was expecting it to be launched this reasonably 🎉

Thank you for such an honest review. I always enjoy takes from passionate users. Mind sharing what’s your wrist size? The watch looked perfectly sized for you.

[@palmsolo]

My left wrist measures just about 19.5 cm (7.7 inches). It is indeed a perfect size for me and there is a LOT of power in the watch.

[@GiuseppeSavo]

just a question about flow and phone calls: how is the behaviour of the watch when paired with earphones? is it possible to fully use Flow and phone calls?

[@palmsolo]

The watch plays music stored on the watch via the headphones. When a call comes in then it shows up on the watch, but you can only hang up or reply with a text message (assuming the watch is paired with an Android phone). There is no way to answer a call with the T-Rex 3, even when connected to a BT headset.

Very good video thank you.! I had some Amazfit' watchs (Pace, Stratos 2 &3) and I went to Garmin (Instinct 2X) for 1 mean raison the "live track" I'm 52 and I run always alone so it's very important, is the Trex 3 able to deliver something like that?? (sorry for my English, I'm French).

[@palmsolo]

It doesn't support that at this time. That is a good feature though and given how the company keeps adding features to Amazfit watches it may be something we see from them in the future. Thanks for watching.

@@palmsolo Thank you very much for your quick and clear answer.

Good afternoon, does the watch pair with heart rate bands and cycling power sensors?

[@BenBensen293]

Only if they work with Bluetooth, then yes. On the T-Rex 3 Amazfit Website you can see a full List of all supported devices.

[@yuchengshen8929]

Hello, I do cycling and want a smart watch for heart beat tracking and health monitoring. Hard to decide among Apple Watch s10, Amazfit T3 and Garmin 265.

[@palmsolo]

Do you want to use the watch for HR tracking or connect to a heart rate monitor? Would you mount your phone to the bike handlebars for a better “bike computer” type of experience? I assume you are an iPhone user, correct?

[@davidoliver9395]

I like the looks of this watch but need Amazon Alexa on it and it doesn't have it. Is there anyway to use Alexa with the watch? If not I think I will go with the Balance

[@BenBensen293]

I cant guarantee, but I dont see any Alexa on the Rex 3

[@davidoliver9395]

@@BenBensen293 I know it doesn't have it

[@palmsolo]

Unlike some other Amazfit watches, there is no Alexa support on the T-Rex 3. It looks like Amazfit is focused on its Zepp Flow natural language assistant instead.

[@davidoliver9395]

@@palmsolo I have Alexa products so I guess I will go with the balance watch

[@OptimusMonk01]

It has ChatGPT which is better than Alexa.

[@OptimusMonk01]

LOL you don't need to charge this watch over night it's not a Pixel watch for fucks sake.

[@palmsolo]

Exactly. However, I know many people do not want to wear a watch to sleep so my point was that you could wear a Helio Ring and by charging your watch while it sits there off of your wrist you would essentially NEVER run out of battery.
