Yes, my T-Rex 3 finally arrived on Thursday and I quickly unboxed it after work, wow, quite the watch. This video was filmed over Thursday and Friday as I wore the T-Rex 3 on my left wrist and the T-Rex 2 on my right...

Nearly a month now since the T-Rex 3 landed on my wrist and... it is on sale for Prime Day for just $250, dang, what a deal. Here is my affiliate link to help the honest reviews arriving: amzn.to/3zOs58x

[@MrStirstir]

The red/orange/green shift on the watch is sooooo cool.

[@PeterHerget]

Yep, night shift is what I call it and my T-Rex 3 automatically just turned green at 20:00. For one reason or another the green font is easier for my eyes to read 🤓

[@kzahrte]

I recently left Garmin for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and I'm mixed on it. Now I'm wondering how the T-rex 3 compares to the Galaxy Ultra... I'm tempted to buy one and compare.

[@PeterHerget]

No need to buy, I already did. The Galaxy Ultra is in my a box resting. I'll be comparing the T-Rex 3 to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra after I reach Day Five of my T-Rex 3 vs. T-Rex 2. Can you wait about three days, eh?

[@kzahrte]

@PeterHerget really cool! I can definitely wait and look forward to your feedback. Thanks...and keep up the great content.

[@black79montecarlo123]

The Ultra is way more capable when it comes to smartwatch features... I've ditched Garmin and couldn't be happier.

[@kzahrte]

@black79montecarlo123 I left Garmin after many years and several watches including the Epix... it was a huge leap. So far, I find the Galaxy Ultra to be an amazingly well crafted device with tons of features. Of course the battery life cannot compare to Garmin or others but I knew that going in. What do you most like about the Ultra?

[@PeterHerget]

I like the orange workout button, the 3,000 nit bright screen for my outdoor workouts, and how quickly the Watch Ultra responds to touch controls. I would like to see the next Samsung Galaxy incorporate nearly full button navigation for winter workouts, wet finger tips, and many other scenarios. The increased accuracy of heart rate, SP02, and other health metrics has been nice too. I turned off my Galaxy Watch Ultra last night and just kept wearing the Galaxy Ring. Samsung wrote some nice code for the ring/watch marriage inside the S-Health app. And their Galaxy Ring is comfortable to wear too...

[@VishwasTnTumballi]

I was going to purchase a Falcon watch, but after watching your video about Falcon, I decided against it (thank you!). Instead, I decided to wait for Falcon 2 until Amazon released the T-Rex 3. Even so, I still think the falcon design is great; it's a high-end model, and Amazonfit should unveil the replacement by year's end. But regrettably, the wait for T Rex 3 ended. I'd like to purchase this one; I appreciate your review.

[@PeterHerget]

Glad I could help! And if the Falcon 2 is going to be released it should be before 12.31.2024 or I will assume Amazfit is ditching that bird of prey…

[@E.T_rode_bikes_As_well]

Wish there was a option for 26mm quickfit bands to work with the watch.

[@PeterHerget]

I can see the reasoning for that, and a 26mm band might work with the size of the T-Rex 3.

The screen realestate on the T-Rex 3 is wonderful and outdoor visibility is amazing.

[@pietro4836]

Good video! How many sesnsor led has the new trex 3? Thanks

[@PeterHerget]

Just took it off my wrist and counted seven lights, two white things, and a metal ring around the entire sensor area.

[@sradical8136]

There are no speakers on the t Rex. That is my one gripe with the watch no Bluetooth calls

[@PeterHerget]

If you have Bluetooth headphones is should function nicely…?

[@Saob007]

Well, this is a nice review as always. What do you think about buying the T-Rex 3 already had gotten the T-Rex 2 ? Is it Worht it ? Also, i wanted to ask you something else: Why did you send the "disgusting" DW-H5600 to a Casio Repair Center ? I read about this on other video. Keep up the good videos! sir.

[@PeterHerget]

I have questions about that very fact. Is it worth upgrading two years later, eh? 1. bright screen outdoors 2. louder beeps 3. microphone for the Flow app 4. augmented battery life 5. faster charging? (T.B.D) 6. yes, the screen is larger, but not that much larger from my perspective as the T-Rex 2 is on my left as I type and the T-Rex 3 moved to my right 7. screen is crisper 8. TBD 9. TBA 10.

[@dadandvideogames]

I'm really loving my T-Rex 3. Very cool device, and I'm so glad we got a mic for Flow. I bet with the T-Rex Ultra 2/4 we get a mic too. If the Fenix 8 is good for one thing, it set a precedent for mic and speaker on an adventure watch. Also, I'm in Florida with a "Feels-like" that's over 100 most days and I am SO jealous of you and your 40° weather lol.

[@PeterHerget]

Yeah, the mic is cool and I've been using Zepp Flow more and more. it feels faster on the T-Rex 3 than the Cheetah Pro or the Balance.

[@douchebaggins7]

Is it true you still can't make or receive phone calls and no texting other than preprogrammed text responses like the t rex 2 ?

[@Tekz12]

There's no speaker on the T-Rex 3, hence the no phone calls.

[@PeterHerget]

Nope, neither the T-Rex 2 nor the T-Rex 3 have speakers large enough for phone calls. Cheetah Pro and Balance may be what you're looking for..

[@Ahmed-Aref]

I think they have smaller speakers, making only the buzz sound not else, I remember I heared that on trex 2

[@PeterHerget]

Yep, just beeps. I paired some Bluetooth headphones and pushed one song via MP3 to the T-Rex. During my workout the voice in my head was there every mile and each time I pressed the "lap" button. I dislike the tone Amazfit chose for the alert noise/sound that plays after a time goes off. And I think they could easily add the ability to modify the tone in a future upgrade...

[@dennischow9924]

Where u get the blue T Rex 2 😅😅

[@PeterHerget]

It was a special edition T-Rex 2 that I saw in an email last year, 2023. Went to the website to read more about it and placed an order request. I checked several days ago and they were still for sale. Glad you are a fan of the T-Rex watches 🦖

[@btv416]

Please make another video after a week or two. To show how accurate the HeartRate Censor and sleep tracking are

[@PeterHerget]

Yes, I plan make another tonight for I wore both T-Rex watches for seven days 🤓

[@Kupitmanvenerologia]

Не знаю о чем он говорил, но асмр эффект я получил, а по часам - я их заказал на оф сайте на маркетплейсе последние за 21000 руб (это примерно 210 долларов) , что неплохо ведь в России у перекупов они стоят от 350 долларов. Уже есть т рекс 2 , но в 3 версии понравились полноценные карты, красный режим для тепловизора (для войны вна украине - самое то и РЭБ не глушит их gps сигнал) и металлический корпус, расстроили только расцветки (мой любимый песочный цвет пропал) , вообщем жду свою новинку через неделю

[@4dmusic875]

If Mini speaker so low does it mean it doesn't have timer and doesn't ring?

[@PeterHerget]

Yes, that is one pithy question, thanks for asking. I reviewed two watches in this video, are you asking about the T-Rex 3 or the 2.0 from two years ago?

[@Teodor_P]

Hey Peter, thanks for the review! Do you know how long does the battery last on the Falcon with AOD? Thanks

[@PeterHerget]

Yes, two years later and AZ Falcon lasts about three to four days with AOD enabled. Those 3 to 4 days depends on your # number of notifications, screen brightness, use of the watch, GPS workouts, and 11 other variables. But yes, it can be done in real life. The newer T-Rex 3 smartwatch by Amazfit lasts a solid six days with AOD enabled. I recommend the T-Rex 3 over the Falcon.

[@PeterHerget]

And you are welcome, glad you liked my review.

[@Teodor_P]

@@PeterHerget Thank you so much for the quick reply, I've been trying to find an answer for a week. I have a Trex2 which lasts 7 days with AOD and ordered a Trex3, but the looks of Falcon had me second guessing my choice. Now that you've mentioned how poor the battery is, I'll stick to the T3 and wait for Falcon 2. Thanks again for the help!

[@PeterHerget]

You are... MOST welcome, and thank you for the comments. I am thinking that there will not be a Falcon 2.0 for it has already been over two years since the Falcon was released and they have the Balance watch line, Cheetah, and T-Rex. Honestly, I do not think there is a need. For the most part, yeah, I did like the Falcon at first, but it was not made with $500 price tag in mind: 1. no microphone for Dick Tracey phone calls 2. no speaker 3. not enough RAM 4. The screen was too small while the bezel was too thick 5. The vibration motor could have utilized more haptic feedback 6. battery life should have been 24 hours longer 7. The screen should have and could have used 2,000 nit brightness Yes, I am nit-picky regarding watches, features, and what Users deserve.

Does it give audio feeback while running when bluetooth earbuds are connected??

[@PeterHerget]

Yes! Yes, it does 😎I paired my Shokz & AirPods and they both stayed connected and I heard the Amazfit voice of workout feedback. All in all, if you’re looking for voice feedback, either the Cheetah Pro or the Balance is the way to go. Alas, this T-Rex 3 is pretty cool 😎

@@jaychhabra3 Yes, the T-Rex 3 gives you audio feedback during workouts when you connect Bluetooth headphones.

They are pretty close thus far. The T-Rex 3 comes with a new hardware sensor. I am testing the Amazfit T-Rex 3 versus the Active Edge right now and for few more days. After that is done, well, I need to finish the video of the T-Rex 3 versus the Galaxy Watch Ultra. I already wore them both and simply needed one more workout's worth of data. And after those two videos are done, and published, yes, I am going to wear the Amazfit Cheetah Pro and the T-Rex 3 for about five days/nights along with several workouts. If you can wait a solid four to nine days you shall have all your answers.

Garmin Venu 2 Sleep Score: 73, Body Battery 70 upon wake Amazfit T-Rex 3 Sleep Score 95, Readiness 81 upon wake Now if you were to ask me how I feel when I wake up today, i would say i feel more inline with Garmin, a bit on the lower side. The Amazfit feels a bit generous in the numbers given. Side note; im a bit confused with the settings for the Offline Assistant. Mainly the Offline Audio Wake-up Mode settings.
