Amazfit T-Rex 2

The media could not be loaded. I previously had the Samsung watch 4. It was a good watch but the battery life was poor and it stopped working after just over 2 years, hence my purchase of the T-RexHaving used the T-Rex for almost 2 months these are the highlights for me.Aesthetically it's a masculine watch. The large "T-REX" on the strap is not the best but that's a minor quibble. The the screen is large and bright and there are quite a few attractive watch faces available to Purchase.The battery life is pretty impressive. Without recording my sports sessions, the charge drops around 10% per day so we're looking at around 10 days of battery life. Recording my sports sessions especially, longer sessions significantly reduces the battery life. Having done an off road mtb tour in New Forest earlier this month which entailed roughly around 4 to 6 hours of riding per day, my T-Rex was dropping around 25% to 30% of battery charge per day, but that's to be expected.I also like the Zepp app. It records your daily activities, tells you how many calories you've burnt and it even tells you every morning how well you slept the night before including the proportion of your deep sleep.I was really blown away by this feature. The results for my night sleep do correlate with my own observations and the way I feel during the day.I do have a minor criticism I'm hoping would be addressed through future updates. I would've loved to see an "auto-pause" feature. Currently if you're recording a session and you interrupt the session and forget to pause, the T-Rex just carries on recording. It would've been great to have an option to enable auto-pause after a period specified by the user. For example during my mtb ride, I occasionally stopped for a coffee break which would last up to 15 minutes. More often than not I would forget to pause the T-Rex recording the ride. This took a heavy toll on my average speed and distorted the overall results. If the Zepp software was smart enough to remove speeds of zero that lasted over a given length of time, it would've been great. This really is not a deal breaker by any stretch of the imagination but it would be a really useful feature to have.Overall I would say I'm absolutely delighted with my Amazonfit T-Rex. It has motivated me to work out harder and improve my overall fitness.It really is a lot of watch for the money.Get one now.

As someone who doesn't need all the fancy apps that the likes of an Apple or Samsung watch provide, but who values the convenience of a long-lasting life between recharges, the T-Rex is perfect for me.This is my third Amazfit (having owned two Bips previously) and it's by far the best yet from them. They've ironed out all the little bugs in their app that used to previously require a third party app to resolve (god bless you, Notify and Fitness), which was the only real issue I had with the previous watches.The T Rex 2 is a chunky beast, but because of that it feels incredibly sturdy and robust; you don't need to worry about accidentally damaging it by hitting your hand off something in passing, and the waterproofing is excellent (it shook off an Indonesian monsoon with ease). The screen is large and bright, and the notifications easy to read. I've only really used the fitness tracking for walking and some cycling, but both seem accurate as far as I can tell. As with all smartwatches, it doesn't understand the difference between me lying still at night desperate for sleep (damn you insomnia!) and actually sleeping, but it does seem to be accurate on the deep sleep aspect.As a bonus, it also has a really useful "torch" function which puts the screen to bright white for a couple of minutes and provides a surprising strong light source for shuffling around your flat in the dark without waking anyone else.I'm a big fan of this, and currently get around 20-25 days between charging, which is precisely why I love the Amazfit range.

I would like more options for straps that fit and the tools that work to remove and swap the strap which are not available as I write it’s a weird patent screw head, why?The watch is absolutely brilliant, easy to use and connects very easily to the ZEPP App it records very accurately on whatever is set up to do, maps routes and links to Phone, camera and music. Easily set to warn that I’m being inn-active. It’s robust with loads of watch face options if that’s your bag, for me I just kept it simple this is the best Amzfit watch I’ve tried that’s been brilliant all the time. Tried Apple Watch? A costly option that does damage easy this does so much of the same and is less vulnerable to damage or falling apart which is the big sell for me as I’m an outdoor lively active person that has damaged watches on activity, nothing worse than that £500 watch sinking in the sea.

Firstly a great looking watch although slightly baulky. Lots of features for the price. Easy to use and also easy to use via the app (despite some negative reviews). I have only used it for hiking and have found some features are slightly inaccurate i.e. Heart rate (readings approximately 10% high) and distance approximately 5% under. I will update the review when I have used other features. Battery life is good.2 plus years later and still working ok with the exception of the heart rate monitor which is reading very low e.g. Actual heart rate 140 but Amador reading 110.
