This is the best deal on the Trex I've seen. Just make sure you understand that this is not equivalent to the Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch. This is basically a good fitness device with some smart functionality. You'll receive messages, emails, and notifications, but will not be able to reply to any of them from the watch. Otherwise the Amazfit watches/OS works pretty well. The faces are decent and the battery life is usually pretty amazing. I have the Bip U and the original Bip and both have been great watches. I use them a lot more than my Fossil Wear OS device due to the battery life.
I bought this watch on the last deal for around this price and really like it! Sleep tracking, heart rate, and notifications are what I use most, and I love that I can track dirt bike rides/gps tracks with the cycling workout feature. The flashlight has come in handy, as well as the "find my phone" feature.
The battery lasts forever... I haven't had it below 50% and go days without charging, even with the "always on" feature.
My big complaint is that even on "sensitive" mode, many times when I lift the watch face to see the time, it stays off. "Always on" mode fixes this, but does drain the battery quicker (it still lasts a LONG time!)
This is also quite a rugged watch. I smash it around pretty often (dirt biking) with no wear or damage to show for it. While it is a rugged watch, they say not to scuba dive with it. (Depth limit 5 atmospheres.)
One last thing, the app is now called "zepp" instead of amazfit, so don't let that confuse you like it confused me.
All in all this is an awesome deal and a great watch!
I've been using the T-Rex as my daily for over a year. I have used several fitbits, The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, TicWatch E, and the Amazfit Bip. For me the T-Rex meets my needs. It doesn't have the expanded functionality of an Apple or Google watch but I only charge it once a week. Notifications work and fitness tracking is adequate. The most notable thing I wasn't expecting was the watches durability. I do much of my own repairs around the house and have inadvertently hit the watch against a solid surface on numerous occasions. Not even a scratch! If you can live without the extra bells and whistles or battery life and durability are traits you admire, this might be the watch for you.

Damn can't reply to notifications. One of the main reasons I like having a smartwatch.

I own one of these and work construction. I have beat the #@*& out of it and it is still going. Gotten spray paint on it and used paint thinner to clean it. It's also waterproof, I've dove down 10-15 feet with. As someone else mentioned the display is very bright which makes it easier to see during the day but at night it can be quite startling when an alert comes up. I have my notifications set to only turn on during certain hours
Man I would have bought if it had built in storage for music. Looks like the only real important things its missing. 40 hours of GPS tracking on one charge is extremely impressive, its actually insane!
Does anyone know how this compares to the Garmin Instinct? I have tried several smart watches and finally found a match for my use cases with the Instinct. I care mostly about durability, long battery life (survive over a week off the grid), always-on watch face, and GPS/Heart tracking for exercise. The SMS notifications and quick reply are nice too.
This seems like Amazfit's response to the Instinct based on the description. How does it compare with HR and GPS accuracy? Does it integrate with MyFitnessPal for auto-calorie burn tracking like Garmin does? Is it as durable? I've accidentally banged my Instinct on things pretty hard while working on cars, framing a wall, etc and also forgot to remove it when scuba diving in 50ft of saltwater.
I would like to replace my Fitbit with GTS 2 watch but it rarely goes on sale.
Fitbit is the worst device for health tracking. Can't even get a correct heart rate with it.
