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

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.

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

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

Bom, o que motivou a começar a correr foi a indicação de um fisioterapeuta, que sugeriu ser seria bom para minha coluna após um problema mais grave nela! Em 2008 fui submetido a uma nucleoplastia e em 2023 a uma infiltração. Final de 2024, com muita argumentação da minha esposa, que já corria há alg

Too early to tell. There will be huge contenders with the Cheetah 2 series or the rumored Falcon 2, if they are bringing something new.

Because they like to think that Garmin is the best. Here is just one thread of person who tried both: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazfit/comments/1rxdshn/my_experience_with_trex_3_pro_48mm_after_garmin/ DC rainmaker is very biased to Garmin.

So, altziller, for someone who's main use case is hiking in mountaneous area (with just dumb phone preferrably) would you recommend amazfit? So, what is important for me is contour lines, trails, creeks, rocks, huts etc. I am currently trying to decide between a new T-Rex 3 Pro and a used Epix 2 Pro
