The altitude test was a win for Amazfit, because the hill may be 329m, but the WATCH is on her wrist, about a meter higher!

[@szafraniec8164]

Nice point

[@absabs129]

goooood point !

[@jameslagr78]

true that

[@jameslagr78]

for me the accuracy of both are perfect even a airbus 350 will give a different high from the trusted map

[@soulmediabo]

Ditto. I work in geographical survey and those altitudes are at ground level. But tbh, unless you've got a bench mark with precise MASL, then both of those could be off by about 5 meters..

[@oc3144]

We need an updated review with the TREX 2 :D

[@rousthanposa98999]

Amazfit won for altitude test cos you should put the height of the wearers in consideration and you,ll realize it plays with the readings .look this watch is an amazing smart watch.its really good for patients and for just normal day life and is really resistant,just you don't go too far with it's cheap materials though.however the functionality is super awesome.i,m an owner of AMAZFIT T-REX PRO and i must say it's a great watch.It ain't got calls no speakers but is a great watch and a companion to check your health status, such as heart rates and stress conditions amongst others.

[@SchoolYa]

Loved your video review. Very impressed with both watches. But my budget says I have to go with the T-Rex Pro. I own a Samsung Active 2 and I'm not happy with the heart rate monitor. Really liked the heart monitor on the Amazfit T-rex Pro. Also the one hundred preprogrammed activities is another added bonus. Thanks for making the video.

[@meepohstoobeat4926]

One of the best reviews I've ever seen, great video! Kudos to the crew!

[@peterlearner8594]

Currently have a Venu, how do the size of the on screen pace and time numbers compare between watches? I want something I can easily read while running.

[@moimoi-it3eo]

Nice comparison making the whole video fun and enjoyable to watch. Keep posting guys also on tv's and Bluetooth speakers. 😁

[@crose55]

Yeah…the Amazfit definitely one with that price range. No one is freezing a watch and dropping it from that height, so that round doesn’t count as much…lol

[@adyyzels]

And no one would survive if fall from that height.. haha

[@shebypaul]

@@adyyzels yeah whats the point of our watch surviving if we don’t survive 😂😢

[@RMILLSMMA]

Loved my amazefit T Rex, ridiculous value and the 2 week battery life made my Apple watch seem ridiculous. Can't recommend them enough at the price point.

[@Mr.F0xx]

But how is it compare to watch at gym tracking ?kcalories and reps and staffs ?i have watch7 and huaweingt2 pro and apple counts x2 kcalories nu ebers compare to huawei ,so ?

[@xgadgetid8270]

@@Mr.F0xx huawei is already good enough.....

[@ErikTaraldsen]

Blood oxygen and hart rate monitoring using optical sensors has a harder time the darker the skin is. So tattoos or naturally dark skinn will get less precise measurement. Would be fairer test if those were done on the same person or cross checked.

[@dharmadharma1303]

Garmins are absurdly expensive. A few years later after using, my two friends complaining about heart rate on forenuner 735 and battery and gps issues on fenix 3. So i used Suunto (vector, traverse, 9 baro) and finally casio gbd serie. Why do i make someone rich !. But actually, except basic gps suunto models, all the smart watches will break down in a few years later. So simple and cheaper is the best for me.

[@oliverwood7190]

Amazfit The best, massive thumbs up for it (Amazfit being the best)

[@modesteanton5632]

Great comparison of both watches . Lovely fun review guys. Keep it up. The 🦖 for my budget

[@ismailwumbei8298]

That was a nice review. Very practical as it should be. 👍🏾

[@fazerchef]

Ive had 2 Samsung's but battery life is pants, i now have 3 amaze fits, neo, Trex pro and the GTR3 pro, all excellent , the neo gives me 30 days life and is a really fun watch , Trex is my go to and the GTR is more of a dress watch

[@EnglishRain]

Amazfit 40hrs with GPS off?? 0:51 how does that even compare. Edit - Superb review btw, very entertaining!

[@maszwndy]

I prefer amazfit t-rex pro based on my budget

[@michael_pamelabryner_hart7613]

Yeah, that is the word "budget," and rich people do not know this. Why? Because, they never have to budget anything.

[@Jackflag2]

i need a cheap sportwatches that can import gpx routes and use it during my session, somebody know wich amazfit can do this?

[@absabs129]

none so far ... at least to my knowledge.

[@RamairoZurich]

I'm not an expert, but I think the amazfit Stratos or the stratos 3 has a similar function to what you say. The only detail is that they are models of the year 2018 and 2020 and out there it is difficult to find them

[@Jackflag2]

[@DaniloVanni]

[@Donotneed2]

I just ordered Amazfit trex. It is value for money .Thanks for the review.

[@SaintAugustine3906]

Why didn't you do distance accuracy? That's one of the most important for me when it comes to accuracy.

[@michael_pamelabryner_hart7613]

Their flagships of Amazfit are not really considered cheap, unless you get the Amazfit GTR 3 for $119 sale that I bought last week. $179 regularly is not cheap. Not everyone is rich to buy Garmin anyways. Like celebrities that just buy anything and everything.

[@gileseatsgrass]

T Rex looks amazing for the money. I've had a few Garmins but now I'm skint so looking at price a lot more. Seems just as good anyway perhaps the app isn't as good.

[@funnyberries4017]

A lot of it is data security. Amazfit likely gives all your data to the chinese government. Garmin keeps it quite secure.

[@LOTPOR0402]

@@funnyberries4017 Same with Garmin because they are also made in China

Im planning to get this badboy trex thia coming 25. What do you think.

[@kingthranduil8807]

Yes

[@s_a_khan5252]

No one’s gonna drop either watch frozen in ice and drop it from couple of meters. So it means amazfit t rex pro is as good as garmin’s watch with 4 times less price.

[@LOTPOR0402]

Silly test , a few meters is enough out of the ice

[@leesops710]

You missed the point of the ice test. The drop did not kill the trex the temp. Did I had the trex 2 I did the ice test not that I got money to burn. But to see if the watch could still work it did not.

[@CTNZ2000]

I just bought the original T-Rex for $180 NZ, just wanted a smartwatch with notifications and for it to be reasonably durable. I am happy with my purchase, with anything it “oh wow my watch does X and Y then I remember I have never done X and Y, so why…

[@reizoarian4445]

i have amazfit trex 2 for overall daily use it's almost perfect especially the battery life but for hiking it's really disappointing...2 reasons for that is 1st it must be connect to my smartphone to update the temperature the watch itself didn't have any temperature censor, and 2nd because the altitude was not accurate always monitored 45 meters under the real data

[@yashwantsingh8141]

The blood oximeter on amazfit is pretty accurate. You need to stay still though and maybe that’s why ur readings were a tad off.

[@barbarik1942]

Amazfit trex display is on next level. No comparison

[@pootinplays]

I really enjoyed this video in this weird review method is so different from KZbinrs. Just a nice change of pace.

[@jameslagr78]

nice compétition guys i just bought the t rex 2 and i have the garmin instinct the garmin instinct have a tone super feature without need internet excellent batterie live super solide and mono screen very nice and super clear even at 5 meter of distance from de watch u can see everything clearly. but i would like to give amazfit T-REX 2 a chance to impress me... the watch is on transit when i get i gonna see what this bad boy have under the hood.

[@D11r41k]

8:04 the lighter the skin and the less dark hair on the arm, the more accurate it measures the HR. They should have also done the same heart test after exchanging the watch with each other.

[@boromirofmiddleearth557]

Well done! Great in depth comparison! Would like to think the cost of the Garmin is worth its sturdiness, but I will not be using my watch in below freezing temperatures or dropping it off a high platform. ! 🙄

[@t0dd000]

Super-fun review. Amazfit. I'm a fan.

[@randomescu]

i owned a few samsung watches, Frontier and Active 2 among them. also owned Bip S and i was impressed by it. samsung watches life with gps is 12h. i would buy garmin, but its not touch screen, for me is a no go. considering a Trex pro.

[@pedrovorpholiveira9154]

Maps are very important when you pratice alpinism or hiking with no roads

[@indrsextreme8371]

Try the same with TRex 2

[@PestNox]

Well of course Amazfit is cheaper, but Garmin is unbeatable! New epix one is the best, can't even compare.

[@LOTPOR0402]

Na both made in China , your just paying for the garmin name

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

Others have tested freezing it in a big ice cube without issues. The drop is most probably what got it. Not to mention that a sample of one is not a very convincing experiment. A second attempt might have lead to the opposite result. Not exactly a controlled experiment.

[@AkbarNurPribadi]

at fenix price, we could get t-rex as a family pack, my mum would always prefer the later.

[@sujangurung3657]

Very nice and enjoying lots of fun.

SPO2 maximum 5% different is plainty accpetable for daily and sport activities... anyway it only for give you a pretty cloth ideal compare professional medical system.

[@loudrats]

This review is useless for anyone interested in sports biometrics. I can connect garmin to virtually any sensors...from power meters on road bikes to gym equipment. I use my amazfit for work while garmin for sports.

[@Ajajambo]

Amazfit is an all arounder adventure watch suitable for sports and all everyday life. It definitely cannot match Garmin sensors accuracy for HR....

Please add head to head next amazfit vs venix 7 . I know garmin are amazing but pricey for me...but if new amazfit not too far, i will consider amazfit. But if garmin still the best... i will safe too buy garmin

[@michael_pamelabryner_hart7613]

I guess people that never really had hard with money, does not know what cheap really is.

[@keithdashwood6945]

It’s a great review as always but why a drop test in ice? No normal human being does that. I feel a normal drop test would suffice. Same height no ice and both would survive. I could throw my t-Rex off a multi story car park and it will still survive. Probably crack pavement like a Nokia lol.

[@LOTPOR0402]

Another thing the Trex may of been already dead before it hit the ground .Bet the cold flattened the battery .Be interesting to see if it come bag to life with a charge

[@j.sineduce6163]

I wouldn’t say Amazfit’s cheap, rather less expensive. With one model fetching almost 400 bones.

[@szafraniec8164]

Nice video. I have trex

[@crose55]

I am 2 minutes in and this is a phenomenal review 😀

[@Master-tu4kd]

The Garmin survived the drop test because it doesn't have a touch screen, and touch screen panel is more sensitive to shocks. Furthermore, the military grade standard states that the drop needs to be 1.5m not the 6m drop that women threw it from.

[@vanderfragk]

I have trex pro. In the same location it gives different rates for the altitude if you turn on and re turn on the barometer. Sometimes you get -5 m for example and then 7m height

[@ramaoh2o]

@DiZ Zkl In this watch you have the barometer and altimeter together..
