FANTASTIC battery life. Great value on functionality
This is a great little watch. I can literally make a full battery charge last roughly 2 weeks with standard (but not max) brightness. The screen on time is adjustable, which is helpful for me as I work in a medical setting and need to see the second-hand long enough to calculate an accurate resp count or heart rate. Sleep tracking is on there too. The app has more functions than I can describe here. But I will say I have it integrated with GoogleFit which in turn is integrated with my Cronometer app. Love that.
Timers, alarms, stopwatch, weather, humidity, phone finder all with a few touches on either the display or toggle buttons on the side of the watch. There is more but those are the features I use. It’s bright enough that I can use it as a small flashlight to adjust my home thermostat in the middle of the night with a flick of the wrist.
My only real gripes are that the HR on the display does not seem to be in real time but operates on some sort of averaging algorithm. For example if I take a flight of stairs it will not update the HR immediately on the display, however it does seem to keep track well enough in the app. Also, I think you need to activate the app on your phone periodically for the phone finder feature to work. Sometimes I try to use this feature and it doesn’t work – instead prompting me to activate the app. But only sometimes. It feels like the app may go into a “sleep mode” or something. But if I activate it, say once a day, this is not an issue.
I cannot speak for it’s water durability, as I’ve not put it to the test yet.
By far more features and value out of this than I had with my FitBit Versas. Recommended!

Good Looking, Capable Watch, Built to Last
First, why I purchased the T-Rex Pro has everything to do with the two digital watches I had before I purchased the T-Rex Pro. Bear with me. More details about the watch itself below that.
HUAWEI GT 2E
My 1-year old HUAWEI GT 2E watch strap broke and fell into a trash dumpster, which I didn’t notice until it was too late. The $130 Huawei digital watch needed $4 screen protectors which broke almost bi-week, and the watch face eventually scratched up once I stopped replacing the protectors. The lesson here for me was that I wanted something more durable, similar to the Garmin Fenix 3 I had for 5 years prior to this watch.
GARMIN FENIX 3
My $650 Garmin Fenix 3 had come with a Saphire un-scratchable watch face. I loved this watch, treated it like a beast until the battery died (which is un-replacable). The memory for my love of the Fenix 3, with the bulky feel, and durable, sporty look, brought me to the T-Rex Pro, which is far less expensive. I was able to purchase the T-Rex Pro with a discount on amazon for $154.
T-REX PRO
I’ve had the T-Rex Pro for several weeks, notably while moving locally and put it through an initiation where I accidentally clanked it against several doorways while walking with jumbo boxes in hands and it came through without a mark, even in one case having white paint stuck to the bezel from a wall where I had to peel off the paint with a utensil from the watch bezel. But no scratches through the 5 day ordeal despite the bezel hitting various doors, etc. The raised bezel no doubt has protected this watch face where the Huwei had failed time and again. As far as I can tell the watch face should hold up well without screen protectors.
In terms of features, I’ve seen several reviews incorrectly state that you can only run one app on the watch at a time. They say, for example, if you’ve started the timer then you can’t use the stopwatch, etc. Not true. When you have an app working on the watch just LONG-PRESS the “BACK” button and it will bring you out of the current app and back to the watch face where you can go back into your app list to select another app to use and run while the other one is working. It is possible to use multiple apps at the same time.
I mostly use the watch for notification for calls, emails, and texts. It does an adequate job for this. I don’t need to respond to them but just see what I need to get to while I’m out and about. The pop up notifications to alert you to a new text/email are a little too quick before disappearing for my tastes. When using the Notifications app to read an individual text/email, the messages are again on screen for only a few seconds before automatically kicking back out to the list of texts, so I need to go back and select/open the text again to get whatever part I missed. Also, a word in a text message will sometimes be broken up over two lines. It’s not a huge deal in terms of functionality for but I also think it’s something that should be fixed as it isn’t professional look IMO. I can get past these small issues personally but you should know about them before purchasing this watch all the same.
I love the look of the watch: the blue color suits me well and I like how the band feels more integrated with the overall look of the watch with the raised texture on the side of the band. In some online video reviews the blue watch color sometimes seemed a little greenish depending on the lighting but in personal itâs more of a matt blue grey which I do like and am pleased with. Please note, I’ve seen some people say there aren’t replacement bands for this watch because they don’t use the quick release mechanism on the band. You CAN purchase aftermarket bands for this watch but those bands require two small screw drivers (usually they come with the replacement band) and this was the very same process I used with my Fenix 3. The feel of the watch is good on the wrist and it’s not too heavy. My fenix 3 had real heft to it which I kind of liked and wouldn’t mind if the T-Rex Pro was even heavier. I imagine though most people would prefer the lighter feel of this watch.
I downloaded a watch face that reminded me of one I had on the Fenix 3. I used the “AmazFaces” app from the iPhone store for a much wider selection of faces to download. Make sure in the T-Rex Pro “Zepp” watch app to toggle the watch setting for “Discoverable” to “ON” to be able pair and download watch faces from the AmazFaces app.
The battery is very good. I still won’t use an Apple watch because I don’t like taking off my watch at night to charge and I like the option of not charging the battery for more than a few days. For instance, I misplaced my charger while moving, so I simply turned off all of the notifications, monitoring and special features, etc and I went 8 days using only 25% of the battery. But, should I turn all monitoring/features on such as heart rate, notifications, watch face always on, etc, I can use well more than 10% in a day. I like being able to adjust and balance what I want to use on the watch and keep a happy medium to battery length.
All in all, I feel I have everything I wanted with my Fenix 3 at a big discount (sacrificing a little bit of the glitz of having a silver bezel, and the sports app, etc) but still have the pleasant feeling of a rugged watch that will give me a long battery life, take a beating, and provide the features I want.

Most affordable and functional smartwatch on the market.
This would be my 3rd Amazfit smartwatch I have owned. I have had Fitbits, and Samsung watches, but the Amazfit has been the most reliable.
In comparison to the Fitbit, the T-Rex pro is hands down the best for my lifestyle. It tracks all the activities I do, biking, walking, swimming and running, providing close to accurate readings. The HRM is very accurate, even with my low resting HR. The blood ox meter is extremely helpful, and after experiencing 2 years of the pandemic, provided me a good reading on my health. The functionality of the watch is very user friendly to me, with 4 crown buttons if you have wet hands and the face swipe is not picking up, this is a huge plus when swimming or doing activities and sweating. The most notable thing about the watch is its durability. Past smartwatches I owned had issues with the face cracking on the edge, but the T-Rex has a protected edge and protects from bumps that could hit the most delicate part of the face. Durability is very important to me and this watch has it in spades.
The general things you would expect from a watch, like telling time and setting alarms and such are solid. and the sync app for the phone works really well. There are many different watch faces you can download, and there are some that you can customize to fit your style.
I can view emails, text and other alerts I set up on watch, but I cannot respond. This to some may be a huge issues, but for me its not. I never used the talk to text on my watch or answered a phone call on my watch, mainly because I always have my phone with me and why text on a 2 inch circular screen when I can just use my phone. Same with phone calls.
The GPS has always been solid with all Amazfit watches I had, to include this one. It connects fast to satellites and does a great job with tracking and backtracking my route. GPS on will drain the battery faster, but it doesn’t drain days off my charge, maybe 2-3% of battery when I use it.
Battery life in all Amazfits has been great. The T-rex is rated for 18 days. I have not tested this out, mainly because I have a habit of charging one day a week regardless of current charge. However, the charge is really fast, 50% to 100% in 15 minutes.
There are watch ban replacements specific to the T-Rex, there does not seem to be a universal (22mm) option. This is a bit of a disappointment, but I order a 4 pack of bans (various colors) and after switching out bands I understood why they don’t use a quick release universal band, durability. This watch is more rugged than a standard smartwatch, and the ban pin requires you to actually use a tool (provided with the 4 pack of bans). The bans themselves are not as stiff as one would expect, but I preferer a softer ban, so no issue with me.
The price is excellent. It is not a $400 watch, and does not have an Apple or Samsung name on it, but it works on all Android and IOS phones, and is a fraction of the price. Its rugged, functional and has a user friendly interface. I track my sleep, HR, Blood ox, fitness, view emails and text, use my GPS, and customize my watch face on a regular basis. A very smart purchase for a smartwatch.

Es lo necesario para el dÃa a dÃa y para actividades fÃsicas. Robusto y resistente sin ser incómodo

Amazing… I bought this after researching many other brands and brand names. The quality of this is very good. I use it all day except while sleeping. Works underwater so far to a depth of 18′ easily with touch screen still functioning. Compass and health functions seem good. I can only compare to an old fit bit from years ago. The price point is respectful of the quality and function of this device. Thinking about a smart watch, with the perfect array of bells and whistles, look no further. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to enter the smart watch market segment. Even at full price it’s a good buy.

I had a amazfit Bip prior to this and after 3 years it finally died so got this as a replacement.I really like the size and features in this rugged designed watch. Good for tracking a variety of activities and monitoring pulse, s02 (if you want to know) and recording your sleep and progress through the Zepp App. Very rugged and as i only take it off to charge its got decent battery life (10-14 days). Very nice

Todo bien, la apariencia en particular muy âtrailâ; solo cuidado con la duración de la pila, si usas todas las aplicaciones y en particular GPS , la piña dura 1 dÃa si acaso, si no te importa cargar diario no hay problema, en mi caso lo desactive para carga cada 8 o 10 dÃas.la app de liga es mala y falla con detalles como el clima y los avisos , que para un reloj de este tipo es básico
