Amazfit T-Rex 3 specifications and in-depth review

Amazfit T-Rex 3

Manufacturer: Amazfit

The Amazfit T-Rex 3 is a rugged sports watch built for outdoor and fitness use, combining a sharp 1.5″ AMOLED touchscreen with an always-on display mode and a durable design that includes gorilla glass protection and a waterproof rating of 10 ATM down to 100 metres. It supports 177 exercise modes, automatic activity detection, diving, and golf, making it a broadly capable wearable for a wide range of physical pursuits. The companion app is free, ad-free, and covers everything from sleep and HRV tracking to food diaries, coaching, and fertility notifications.

On the technical side, the T-Rex 3 carries a full sensor suite including GPS, heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter, barometer, gyroscope, compass, and body temperature sensor. It connects via Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 4, includes NFC, and offers 32 GB of internal storage alongside 64 MB of RAM. The 700 mAh rechargeable battery delivers up to 27 days of standard use, 180 hours with GPS active, or 960 hours in power-saving mode, and charges wirelessly in around 3 hours. Operating temperatures range from -30 °C to 70 °C, with a maximum altitude rating of 113,000 feet.

Pros
  • Battery life stretches to 27 days on a standard charge, with a power-saving mode extending this to 960 hours
  • The 10 ATM water resistance rating and 100-metre waterproof depth make it genuinely suitable for swimming and diving
  • A full sensor suite covering GPS, heart rate, pulse oximeter, barometer, gyroscope, compass, and body temperature sensor provides broad coverage for outdoor and fitness use
  • 32 GB of internal storage allows maps and other data to be stored directly on the watch
  • The companion app is free, ad-free, and supports an unusually wide range of tracking categories including women's health, nutrition, and coaching
  • Wireless charging is supported, removing the need for a proprietary cable connection
Cons
  • No cellular module means the watch depends entirely on a paired phone for data connectivity away from Wi-Fi
  • A cadence sensor is absent, which limits detailed cycling metrics
  • The watch cannot be used to answer calls directly despite supporting call control
  • No smart alarm function is available
  • There is no external memory slot, so storage cannot be expanded beyond the built-in 32 GB
Who is this for?

This watch is well suited to outdoor enthusiasts and endurance athletes who need a durable, sensor-rich device that can keep up across long expeditions. The 10 ATM water resistance and diving capability make it a practical choice for water sports, while the 27-day battery life and 180-hour GPS endurance support multi-day activities without frequent recharging. Users who want consolidated health monitoring — covering HRV, VO2 max, blood oxygenation, sleep, and body temperature — alongside practical tools like map uploads, trackback mode, and thunderstorm alerts will find the feature set genuinely useful. The 177 supported exercises and automatic activity detection also make it adaptable for people who regularly switch between different sports or training formats.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on their watch for standalone connectivity or phone-free communication will find this device limiting, as it lacks a cellular module and cannot be used to answer calls directly. Those who prioritise a slim, lightweight profile may find the 13.75 mm thickness and 68.3 g weight less comfortable for all-day casual wear. The absence of a cadence sensor makes it a poor fit for cyclists who need detailed pedalling metrics, and the lack of a smart alarm limits the experience for users who place particular value on intelligent wake-up functionality.
