I have Amazfit T Rex Pro & it has been 1.5 years & it is still working very smoothly 😊😊 .

Interesting watch! In my opinion one of the most important feature of these low budget watches are external sensor support for pairing a heart rate monitor. Glad to see it here!

Garmin Instinct all the way. 2-3 weeks between charges is awesome. I had an Amazfit T-Rex Pro watch before but I found step count was way off because the watch would count steps when I was moving my arm which is ridiculous.

I find it funny that you talked about the band for twice as long as the GPS accuracy which is why anyone buys these watches. 😂 Still like your videos.

@ChaseTheSummit 6 ай бұрын

Ha, I guess you're right. The band is pretty important in my eyes though since it will be on your wrist 24/7. The GPS accuracy was pretty bland which is why I didn't spend too much time on it.

@PLANETWATERMELON 6 ай бұрын

I figured that much. You weren't the only review that barely touched on the GPS. And yes the strap is also important. I usually find I have to change them out. Thanks! @@ChaseTheSummit

At a figure close to €100 it makes sense... at €150 honestly not much, considering that with around 40/50 max more you can buy the T-Rex 2, which in addition to being more complete and superior continues to have one of the best update support despite the fact that it will soon be two years after its release on the market.

there are a lot of watches half the price of a garmin, loved my watch active 2 too but none of them are a well rounded package like the garmins, some are great in that area some in another but if you realy use a lot of features wnt excelent health statistics you have to get a garmin in my opinion. Samsung for example is much better in auto recognition activitys, amazfit has much better/organized option settings and even the apple watch has its perks but still they sadly arent on the same level than a fenix/epix

Hi! Without the barometric altimeter sensor does the watch gives you elevation data if you go hiking?

@ChaseTheSummit 2 ай бұрын

You won't get elevation data in real time for example if you wanted a data field on the watch to display how high above sea level you were while hiking. However, you still see elevation data in the activity file sync'd to Zepp after the fact because it will combine your GPS track data with map elevation data to fill in the gaps.
