A watch guy’s smartwatch, the T-Rex 3 delivers a bevy of fitness technology in a rugged, timeless package.
For watch lovers, smartwatches present a bit of a Catch-22. On the one hand, they offer fitness and sport-tracking capabilities a traditional watch cannot. On the other, they tend to look more like a miniature phone strapped to your wrist than a traditional timepiece.
Enter the Amazfit T-Rex 3, which manages to offer some of the most advanced health, fitness, and sport features of any smartwatch on the market with a rugged, comfortable, and stylish appearance that mechanical watch-lovers crave.
Amazfit T-Rex 3 Smartwatch
Launched in September, 2024, the T-Rex 3 retains the key elements which made the previous generation so great: exceptional durability, long battery life, and a clever design that utilized the full dial and bezel of the watch. Read on for all the details on this unicorn of a smartwatch.
Over 170 workout modes
The smartwatch has long been the candy (and the torture) of the adventurer and athlete. The T-Rex 3 manages to excel as a fitness watch in new ways. It has over 170 workout modes tailored to athletes, including modes for freedivers, skydivers, and surfers.
Its available topographical contour maps make it a potent tool for any adventurer who wants to get off the beaten track and wear their guidance on the wrist.
It’s even especially tailored to skiers and snowboarders, with maps to a huge swath of ski resorts worldwide available. With on-the-fly access to color-coded runs and lift locations, its wearer becomes an instant local on unknown slopes — owed a drink at apres-ski.
Finally, the T-Rex 3 boasts a feature no other smartwatch can match: an integrated HYROX Race Mode designed specifically to help racers prepare for and perform in HYROX competitions.
Integrated AI trainer and more
Another element that sets the T-Rex 3 apart: Its AI integration. Using the bevy of data collected by the T-Rex 3, the newly redesigned Zepp App delivers advanced health insights, customized training plans, and innovative wellness features.
The enhanced user interface includes, daily sleep and fitness snapshots, heart health and exertion scores, and trend insights for a deeper understanding of users’ daily fitness and well-being.
Being that the T-Rex is a smartwatch, you can also send speech-to-text message replies from your wrist, set reminders, and receive personalized training plans and guidance for a range of different sports.
An all-around, smart-yet-rugged adventure watch
Lest we forget the basics: this is a tough-as-nails watch. Its 48.5mm stainless steel case snarls at the wilderness — and shows off finished screws like several high-end luxury mechanical watches we love. Its ultra-bright display, though modern, can still withstand extreme temperatures from 158 to -22 degrees fahrenheit.
On a liquid silicone strap — and paired with the efficient, sleep- and workout-tracking Helio Ring — it’s perhaps the most powerful tool you could nowadays strap to your wrist.
The Amazfit T-Rex 3 is a modern adventurer’s companion, to be sure.
