If there is one brand that has made a name for itself in recent years, it is Amazfit. And rightly so, as Zepp (the company behind the Amazfit brand) mostly produces smartwatches that can usually qualified as very strong value-for-money. Models from Amazfit are available for a fraction of what you would pay for similar devices from Garmin and most of the time, the functional differences are minimal.<\/p>\n

As both companies offer an extensive range of models, it is quite difficult to decide on a particular one. Hopefully, this review will help to simplify that procedure as well.<\/p>\n

Amazfit T-Rex 3 Overview<\/h2>\n

Let’s start with giving some context: The T-Rex 3 is the latest generation of Amazfit’s T-Rex series. Some time has passed since the release of its predecessor in may 2022, so the following table compares the key specifications of the T-Rex 3 against the T-Rex 2 and its competition:<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n

In terms of the very basic specs, the products are quite similar. The T-Rex 3 stands out primarily for its 1.5″ AMOLED display. With a resolution of 480 x 480 pixels, the display boasts a pixel density of 320 PPI, making it comparable to other smartwatches. It delivers content as sharply as Garmin, Suunto, and Polar watches, while benefiting from a slightly larger diameter.<\/p>\n
