Amazfit T-Rex Pro review: Fitness watch is in league of its own
Amazfit T-Rex Pro from Huawei is a unique watch in terms of design and features. This watch is appealing and ideal for individuals interested in going on an adventure and who are concerned about their fitness.
The Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch is a rugged smartwatch that is currently available to purchase in India. Initially, this military smartwatch was announced at CES in January 2020; later, it debuted in March in India.
But due to the lockdown imposed by the Indian government, the company was forced to delay the launch, but the good news is that it’s available for purchase now. Read on to know more about the Rex features and the watch itself in a comprehensive way.
Amazfit T Rex: Initial Setup
It’s effortless; even an average user can set up the watch. First, you need to download the Zepp app, scan the code, and add your Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch. The app’s user interface has been improved, and changes were made to make smarter navigation.
On the T-Rex band’s display, to see quick actions such as night mode, battery saving mode, torch, find my phone, etc., you’ll need to swipe down. While swiping up lets, you see your activity goals, etc. However, you can also customize the content on the Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch.
When you swipe right, you get access to the notifications, and swiping left opens the app drawer. The best thing about the military smartwatch is that you won’t notice any lags while swiping and using the apps.
Amazfit T-Rex: Design & Display
The critical and challenging thing in a wristwatch is the design, which shouldn’t have a circular shape and comfortable to wear. As I said earlier, the smartwatch is rugged out of the box, and G-Shock from Casio inspires the design.
The Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch design is made to impress you, be it the circular arc on the top of the base plate. This smartwatch has been designed keeping in mind the aesthetics. On the T-Rex band, you get a total of four buttons, two to the right and two to the left. The buttons allow a user to go back, select, scroll up and down on the smartwatch’s interface.
Buttons are circular and give great feedback. The T-Rex band comes with 12 military-grade smartwatches, making it one of the rugged smartwatches in the segment. This military watch is capable of resisting cold, humidity, heat, and even salt spray.
When it comes to the smartwatch’s display, it’s a 1.3-inch AMOLED display which in reality is small. The display would always be on, and trust me; it’s very bright.
Rex Features: Activity Tracking & Others
When it comes to Rex features, it’s similar to almost all the Huawei watches available in India. That means you can expect to get a similar interface and features. The Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch offers or supports 14 sports modes, including skiing, running, triathlon, and much more.
The military smartwatch can do all the usual stuff, such as tracking your heart all day through a self-developed PPG Bio-Tracking optical sensor. It allows offers functions such as tracking and showing the calories that are burnt.

Amazfit T-Rex: Interface & Battery Life
To pair your smartwatch with T-Rex, you’ll need to have the Amazfit app installed. On the app, you get a big icon that shows every parameter; the layout is rectangular, displaying all the data related to fitness tracked.
Through the app, you can control everything, such as setting up the smartwatch. You can either enable or disable the heart monitoring feature; the app is the gateway for a broader scope of activity.
When it comes to battery life, the company claims that it would last up to 20 days of daily use and 20 hours of constant GPS use. If you prefer using the watch mode, the battery could be stretched up to 66 days.
Conclusion
Amazfit T-Rex Pro is priced at Rs 12,999 that comes with buttons for navigation and a responsive interface. It is capable of doing everything a fitness smartwatch can do. And I would highly recommend it to someone who is using G-Shock and wants an upgrade or maybe someone interested in sports.
And let me tell you, if you’re someone who is into adventure, trekking, sailing and other adventurous sports activities, Amazfit T-Rex will be the perfect companion. Also, it not only looks good and can perfectly perform fitness tracking and offers various watch faces.
Though the smartwatch tries to be an overachiever for the price, you can go for it if you’re making a plan to purchase.
