Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit T-Rex 3

  • Battery is rated at 27 days, and real use often reaches one to two weeks.
  • Dual-frequency GPS keeps tracks steady on trails.
  • Offline maps let you navigate without a phone.
  • Stainless steel bezel and Gorilla Glass hold up on rocky trails.
  • The 2000 nits screen stays readable in direct sunlight.
  • 177 exercise modes come with automatic activity detection.

What we don't like about Amazfit T-Rex 3

  • At 68.3 g and 48.5 mm wide, it is heavy and bulky for slim wrists.
  • Charging takes 180 min, so the watch is off the wrist for a while.
  • There is no LED flashlight, and no Spotify app.
  • Health insights are locked behind a subscription.
  • Gorilla Glass rather than sapphire means the screen scratches more easily.

Verdict

Weeks between charges is the first thing to notice about the Amazfit T-Rex 3. The battery is rated at 27 days, and in real use it lasted roughly one to two weeks. With GPS on the battery lasts 42 h, and the dual-frequency GPS keeps tracks steady on trails. The screen reaches 2000 nits, so it stays readable in strong sun, and the watch is water-resistant to 100 m. A list of 177 exercise modes covers most sports. The trade-offs are weight and charging: at 68.3 g it is heavy and bulky, and it takes 180 min to charge. It suits a hiker, climber or runner who wants a rugged watch that goes a week or more without a plug.
