I have Amazfit T Rex Pro & it has been 1.5 years & it is still working very smoothly 😊😊 .
Interesting watch! In my opinion one of the most important feature of these low budget watches are external sensor support for pairing a heart rate monitor. Glad to see it here!
As always, great video! Keep it up!
should I push my budget a little bit for the coros pace 3, or buy these instead?
Dave, love your since of humor,I have several Amazfit watches,T Rex, Falcon and Cheetah, great watches,but I'm still a Garmin fanatic
Garmin Instinct all the way. 2-3 weeks between charges is awesome. I had an Amazfit T-Rex Pro watch before but I found step count was way off because the watch would count steps when I was moving my arm which is ridiculous.
Are is it support track back feature?
At a figure close to €100 it makes sense... at €150 honestly not much, considering that with around 40/50 max more you can buy the T-Rex 2, which in addition to being more complete and superior continues to have one of the best update support despite the fact that it will soon be two years after its release on the market.
I find it funny that you talked about the band for twice as long as the GPS accuracy which is why anyone buys these watches. 😂 Still like your videos.
Ha, I guess you're right. The band is pretty important in my eyes though since it will be on your wrist 24/7. The GPS accuracy was pretty bland which is why I didn't spend too much time on it.
I figured that much. You weren't the only review that barely touched on the GPS. And yes the strap is also important. I usually find I have to change them out. Thanks! @@ChaseTheSummit
Gshock that casio did not build. this should come from casio. why are they so stuck in the 80s-90s??
Does this support navigation tracking?? Like can you import gpx files for trail routes?
Yes
Would you choose this over rhe Garmin instinct 2? Its insane that the instinct 2 is still around $400 so this price point looks a whole lot nicer
The Instinct 2 has a lot of advantages but yeah. It’s more money!
$400? How so? I bought it for €179 new two weeks ago from Amazon Germany.
I wonder when Garmin Forerunner 165 review is coming out, just noticed a retailer in the UK removed listing for it.
It's here!
there are a lot of watches half the price of a garmin, loved my watch active 2 too but none of them are a well rounded package like the garmins, some are great in that area some in another but if you realy use a lot of features wnt excelent health statistics you have to get a garmin in my opinion. Samsung for example is much better in auto recognition activitys, amazfit has much better/organized option settings and even the apple watch has its perks but still they sadly arent on the same level than a fenix/epix
How about on heavily arm tattoos, does it work the same?🙏🏽
I don't heave lots of tattoos in that area so I can't comment. I suspect it won't do great considering I didn't have great results without tattoos lol.
@@ChaseTheSummit 😂 thanks for the honest respond.🫶🏻👌
Can I get this instead of the Balance? How much short change will it be ?
Sure, you would sacrifice internal music storage and the much larger AMOLED display on the balance as well as more accurate GPS and HR sensors. But... this one is cheaper.
Also, Balance has Readiness Score and a speaker, can take phone calls
I know amazfit active edge doesn't have "offline maps", but does it support "gpx files"?
yes it does
Everything nice but Music storage would have attracted more people
Hi brother, about the Barometer, ,it works with the app or external sensor? Thank U
Not sure I understand what you mean? The altimeter embeds elevation data into your activity files and allows you to view the elevation you're at while on hikes or trail runs.
@@ChaseTheSummit Well, I get elevation "altimeter" when using GPS but there's no Barometer on the watch like T rex2?
@@nicorando3788 oh right. Yes you'll get elevation data once you sync the activity to the app. You just can't view elevation in real time during activities since it lacks the sensor.
@@ChaseTheSummit By reading the comments I finally get it, I knew it, no compass no barometer....Why the hell you make something new.... doing a step back..
Thanks for U time.
@@nicorando3788 It's the price. This watch is often found for near $100 USD so I wouldn't expect tons of advanced features and sensors.
Is this better than the trex pro ?
I wouldn't say so. The T-Rex has navigation which this doesn't.
Does the calender sync with Google?
Oddly no it's sort of it's own thing.
Guys i want to buy something like for this range should i get this ?
Yes! This one or TRex2 is the best choice👍🏻
is this good for running?
It would get the job done!
Guys, anyone knows if it's have the function Always-On-Display during the activity?
Yes it does. Though, it will impact battery life quite a bit.
thank you so much! @@ChaseTheSummit
why doesnt amazfit put gps maps navigation?
For a sub $150 watch that’s kind of a big ask. They do have real mapping in higher end models like the Balance and T-Rex.
Mappe off line (no tracce gpx che sono una cosa diversa) sono supportate da Falcon, T-Rex Ultra, Cheetah Series e da pochi giorni anche dal Amazfit Balance.
Amazfit are notorious for inaccurate GPS/sensors accuracy.. until they fixed that I'll stick to banger Casio. this one didn't make it either, maybe that justified the crazy price.
Does amaze fit have accurate heart accuracy?
Didja watch the video? I have a section all about heart rate accuracy. Use the time stamps.
no barometer / altimeter ... ugh ... but i guess at that price point...
Yeah, can't expect to have it all for under $150 (currently $119 on amazon!)
@@ChaseTheSummit Barometric altimeter already had a super cheap smartwatches Amazfit GTS 2 Mini, I don't know why Amazfit cuts its products like this. The Amazfit Active also has a compass, whereas the Active Edge doesn't. Why not? Anyway, these are things that annoy me, but despite that I have a lot of Amazfit models in my collection at home.
Amazfit is not a bad company but they rarely support product after release and keep releasing products. Without music storage I will have to pass. I need music storage while I'm running. I don't want to take my phone with me.
Budget watch?? It's priced at 13,000 INR in India, where you can easily get Galaxy watch 4 and 4 classic at 10,000INR
Galaxy 4 battery does not even last 10 hrs
@@mysticsspath5017 agreed but still.
It looks like Instinct
👍🏻
Isn't this just a budget version of their T-Rex model??
Yeah, basically. All of the Amazfit watches are very similar and most of the differences boil down to the look of the watch.
È un T-Rex Lite con altro nome 😅
First! 😁
it seems the "not so flexible band" spoils the show.
I probably got too hung up on that 😂 it’s an OK band just a tad bit too stiff!
P r o m o s m
IMO A little overpriced for lacking some key features.
Kinda tough to call it over priced when it’s currently $119 on Amazon! But yeah, a few more features would be nice.
