Amazfit hardware is fantastic. For reference, in the last couple of years I’ve owned and trained with the following (I’m not rich or crazy, but I got really used to having a bunch of devices during grad school when my research called for it).

Actually, this article does a good job of pointing out many of the same concerns users have mentioned here. Amazfit really nails the hardware, but the software still needs work to deliver a smoother overall experience. That said, I don’t have the T-Rex 3 Pro — I use the Balance 2, Active 2, and Heli

Long time Garmin user here, Fenix 8 now. I got an T-Rex 3 pro a few weeks ago to test it. I was very surprised by how good it was. I made a list of my own (subjective) pros and cons. I don't list things that are pretty similar, just the differences that mattered to me: Pros amazfit: No forced sleep

I think all Amazfit watches will suit your needs, especially with a Helio Strap as your base. You already have solid heart rate monitoring anyway, so you mainly just need a screen. It really comes down to what other specific requirements you have. If you don't want to spend much: Get a Bip 6. The

I don't think you can get a bigger bang for buck than with amazfit. Active 2 premium does 90%+ what the apple ultra 2 does? For around 10% the cost? Crazy. Want something bigger and 'fancier'? You got balance 2 and t rex pro 3 that look really good and are even a bit bigger with better battery, and

My T-rex 3 pro is much more accurate in sleep tracking than Garmin Fenix 7. Inaccurate sleep tracking in Garmin makes its body battery and recovery metrics inaccurate as well. Amazfit imrpvoed significantly its sleep tracking by software updates, it is now much better than before. That said, I do no

What do you mean "euro increase"? The watch costs 400 eur total. ESim - I am glad T-rex 3 pro does not have, it would just increase price and many people so not need it, including me. HR on my T rex 3 works great, even more accurately than on Fenix 7. T rex 3 pro should be the same. Moreover, Garmin

Good gawd, unless you do not use a lot of watchfaces and music, it's going to be tough to manage. For a greater peace of mind, I would suggest: Amazfit Balance 1: (Yes, it is a last generation device, but it is still capable and quite affordable. 4GB of storage if I recall) Amazfit Balance 2 XT: (Th

Thinking of buying the Amazfit T Rex 3 Pro. Anyhow, yes that has a good look to it, bit military/combat looking. Bad ass actually
