@AVRPEZ Жыл бұрын
I've had a few amazfit watches, including this one, I've noticed they all have the same heart rate sensing issue. Sometimes I'll measure it manually, knowing that I'm at an elevated rate, and the watch won't even be close, but then other times it'll be almost completely accurate. Very strange and hopeful that maybe they can push out some sort of firmware update to fix that issue. Other than that, I love this watch. #1 reason to buy any of the amazfit devices is because of the battery life. It's not uncommon for me to get a week out of a charge. I stopped wearing a galaxy active because of the annoyance of needing to charge it basically every night, which then makes the sleep tracking useless. Great video!

Great review! The only question I have, which I have not seen answered anywhere else, is whether while using one of the workout modes you have the ability to simultaneously use other functions of the watch as well, in particular the timer or the stopwatch. I think this would be of great use to people who want to keep a record of their daily workouts whilst being able to apply the appropriate rest time period in between sets. My mi band 4 is certainly not capable of that :D

Would you recommend this, and it's ecosystem, over the Forerunner 245 and the Coros Pace 2? Someone asked me last week for a recommendation (moving up from a fitbit) and the 245 and Pace 2 were my current recommendations.
@ChaseTheSummit 3 жыл бұрын
They're all good in different departments. The T-Rex makes a nice "daily driver" because of the beautiful display and widget selection. The Coros Pace 2 is probably the better multi sport tracking watch of the bunch because it provides running power from the wrist and can pair with power sensors for cycling along with superior battery life. The Forerunner 245 is probably the best dedicated running watch of the bunch with Garmin's Training Tools and more advanced navigation than the other two with Breadcrumb mapping. The Amazfit T-Rex might be the better built of the three? Hard to say. They all have pro's and con's it really comes down to the use case.

Amazfit is also working on updates and software/ app features. i can recommend it for guys that search something beyond the garmin suunto polar fanworld ;-) than your not disapponited cause you get really much smart-/outdoorwatch and its great working for a really awesome price. i dont need Nav/ active GPS routing on a watch screen outdoors, so í dont miss it on the trex pro.

The other thing I find funny about the T-Rex Pro is that it passed all of the "Military" spec's i.e. 100-meter depth, 159F to -40F, you can swim and surf with it, but it states you can not take a shower with it.

Can you turn off Bluetooth during the day and it will save your data until the next time you synch and will update? For example, I don't like sleeping with Bluetooth on. Can I turn it off and update my sleep in the morning when I turn Bluetooth back on?

From what I've seen so far none of the Amazfit watches have great HR accuracy but if you can live with that they're cool watches. I don't have experience with the GTR2 so I can't comment on that.

How did you find the battery with bluetooth chest strap. With my amazfit stratos 2 the battery drains very quickly when connected to bluetooth chest strap compared to not using it. I think the big problem is that it doesnt support ant+ which is more energy efficient. I think with my stratos i get about 3 hours with chest strap when 10hours+ without it wich is a big problem on longer hikes.

Have this watch and it's good but the HR is just not that good seems to be a good 40bpm out sometimes when cycling and other times low when am work hard up a hill. It's a shame as if was more closer to chest strap or even had the BT to be able to attach chest strap it be a great watch. Still like it but think am going to polar grit X as been offered one at a good price. Great review all the same and hello from Hampshire UK 👍
