€550 Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 impressed Notebookcheck with dual-band satellite tracking, a bright 1.5-inch AMOLED display and rugged features aimed at expeditions and daily wear.
10 days of battery life in testing fell well short of Amazfit’s advertised 30 days, though the 870 mAh watch recharged from 15% to 68% in 30 minutes.
51 mm titanium case and 93 g weight make the watch bulky, and the fit let it slip during workouts, contributing to heart-rate deviations averaging 11.53% against a chest strap.
2642 cd/m² peak brightness kept the display readable outdoors, while drawbacks included limited apps, awkward mobile payments, occasional phone disconnects and 60 Hz PWM flicker.
Against rivals such as Apple Watch Ultra 2, Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Huawei Watch Ultimate 2, the review cast the T-Rex Ultra 2 as a strong niche option for adventure users.
Does a 10-day battery life justify its price, given the display flicker and heart rate tracking inaccuracies?
With its parent company unprofitable, can this watch's hardware overcome its software flaws and long-term support risks?
