Amazfit has unveiled the newest version of its rugged T-Rex smartwatch, the T-Rex 3. While preserving the line's renowned military-grade toughness, this model introduces several valuable enhancements. Let's dive into the specifics.
Amazfit T-Rex 3 Features
The T-Rex 3 opts for an octagonal bezel, replacing the previous circular design, lending it a unique look. It maintains its robust style with textured buttons and red highlights at strategic points.
The screen size has increased to 1.5 inches with an impressive brightness of 2000 nits, making it ideal for viewing data even in intense sunlight. This is an upgrade from the former 1.39-inch display. The screen now includes Gorilla Glass protection and supports a glove mode for cold-weather use.
Although the watch straps remain at 22mm, the material has been updated to a more comfortable and sanitary liquid silicone.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the T-Rex 3 is equipped with a new ZPS3044 processor and 32GB of storage. It runs on the Zepp OS 4 interface and includes an AI assistant powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o, along with a built-in app for managing Sonos audio systems.
The T-Rex 3 remains dedicated to fitness enthusiasts, providing support for 170 sports modes and offering 10 ATM water resistance, suitable for diving up to 45 meters. Additionally, it features skin temperature monitoring alongside the usual heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and sleep tracking.
One of the standout features of the new watch is its battery capacity — 1.4 times larger than that of the T-Rex 2, at 700mAh, which ensures up to 27 days of battery life with typical use, and an astounding 81 days in basic watch mode.
With GPS activated, the device can operate for 42 hours in accuracy mode, 114 hours in battery-saver mode, and an incredible 180 hours in extreme battery-saver mode. However, with heavy usage, the battery life is claimed to be just 13 days. The watch requires about 3 hours to fully charge.
Pricing and Availability
The Amazfit T-Rex 3 is available for €299 in Europe, $299 in the United States, and ￥1899 in China. It comes in Onyx and Lava colors, with eco-friendly strap options in the same hues.
