While I agree that software and map experience can be improved, especially maps detail, POI, saved location handling, etc., I do not agree it is that bad. I am using Garmin Fenix 7 also, and experience with Amazift T-rex 3 is much better, more fluid, customizable, easier to transfer GPX path and nav

You forgot to mention bugs and inconsistencies in algorithm, even crashes when using navigation/routing features. Also, display is fingerprint magnet that makes it less readable in some scenarios. It is good watch but far from final and stable product that competes with big league watches, which mak

The existence of the Ultra line doesn’t make sense to me. Amazfit watches are good because of their strong price-to-features ratio, you can overlook the drawbacks since they are cheaper than competitors. But "premium" models with the current level of software and especially the length of support are

Finally a good question! Everyone is hung up on non-important biocharge but main functionality feature such as route creation on a watch and POI search remain ignored. Amazfit has no plans to give those features to T-rex 3 users, although they initially at T-rex 3 Pro release said that they would gi

Thanks for sharing. If Amazfit irons out these navigation issues and improves routing on the watch and maps, it will overtake Garmin. Garmin is leading with very detailed but laggy maps. Also, Garmin routing often freezes or breaks which you noted but many reviewers (even DC rainmaker) do not say, p

I was taken aback when they wrote that, for the BioCharge section, they wrote for the T-Rex 3, Not supported. I mean technically, this is true, but when taken in this context, it makes it sound like it's not coming to the original T-Rex 3, just to make the T-Rex 3 Pro look like a much more enticing

u/ImpossibleMixture667 I'm the creator of that thread. I completely share the frustration about the issues and bugs but the thing is that it seems there's (finally) an important change in the very latest updates they are applying. I.E. It's a lot of time I'm reporting the speed/cadence sensor issue

I was so excited so I forget to screenshot the whole update. There are 6 or 7 points. One is switch for Bluetooth disconnection alert, There are improvements on the map. It looks better than before on the already installed map so I am downloading a new map to see if there are other improvements. The

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

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
