A fitness watch that can keep up with all your adventures

An AmazFit T-Rex 3 Smartwatch in the rain.

I'm currently packing to leave town on a little vacation, and one thing I can't forget is my smartwatch. I love it for the dozens of different things it does to untether me from the desire to look at my phone every three minutes. The benefits range from providing insights on my daily exercise (a must if you're on vacation – I know you want to track those steps) to letting me quickly answer work texts without getting pulled in completely.

Sadly, this also means I can't forget the charging cable because that sucker needs to get charged every… single… night. It's a nice addition to my life when it's charged, but I'm constantly thinking about its power level. Your smartwatch should take things off your plate, not be another device with a battery level you have to constantly keep track of.

You want a smartwatch that does it all. And by that, I mean everything. The T-Rex 3 from Amazfit is a perfect companion for anyone seeking a durable, long-lasting watch that will help them conquer their workouts, look stylish, and track their daily activities without needing to plan their days around it.

Fit for adventure

A full 27 days. That's how long this watch's battery life lasts under typical use. I'm going to say that again: 27 days. Even under heavy use, it lasts for 13 days, with 180 hours of GPS battery life. My smartwatch needs to be recharged if I look at it the wrong way.

If you're the kind of person who looks forward to scaling mountains or trekking through a desert during your time off, this device is a perfect fit. It's built to withstand the elements, including temperatures that range from highs of 158°F to lows of -22°F (so it's ideal for that Death Valley ultramarathon you've been planning). Prefer to spend your time underwater? The watch body and standard strap on the T-Rex 3 are certified for free diving up to 147 feet. With the stainless steel bezel, this is not a watch you have to treat with kid gloves.

The functionality of the T-Rex 3 isn't just about the beating it can take. It's about the assistance it provides. It offers a pinpoint dual-band GPS to help you find your way. About to go on a hike? Download the topographical contour map of the area to get a handle on the peaks and valleys. While atop one of those peaks, your smartwatch can measure the altitude, air pressure, and warn you of incoming storms so you won't be caught off guard. Preparation and information can make all the difference in a successful adventure.

Fit for life

Want to keep in shape for those adventures? The T-Rex 3's health management settings will help you do just that. Choose one of the more than 170 workout modes and track your progress with post-workout summaries of data points like your recovery time and training load. You can even turn your planning over to the AI-powered Zepp Coach™ to generate personalized running programs.

An effective smartwatch should be able to perform in any circumstance, including low visibility. Whether you're underwater or in the blistering sun, T-Rex 3’s clear, AMOLED display ensures total visibility with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. At night, you can count on the Active Night Display to reduce strain with eye-friendly red, green, or orange illumination.

This smartwatch doesn't just take care of you physically – it also takes care of your privacy by offering best-in-class data protection. You can enable or disable GPS location data storage and choose where (or if) your data is backed up. Plus, it takes care of the environment by utilizing eco-friendly packaging and saving on plastic and metal production by not including a redundant charging cable. Let's be real, you've got a USB Type-C cable in a drawer somewhere. People need a smartwatch that they can count on. Whether you're on an adventure or tackling everyday life, this watch has your back.
