‘Amazfit’ ‘T-Rex 3’ Is Sure Cheap — BUT In Just ‘Titanium-Silver’ It LOOKS Cheap Too.

I will readily admit that it could very well be an AGE THING. For the last 4-years I have always opted for TITANIUM-BLACK (i.e., titanium with a BLACK finish) over titanium-silver. I think (& I could be wrong) that the black radiates more class.

Yes, I am sure young athletes prefer the SILVER & think it looks cool.

Yes, I am sure that there are many who do NOT realize that you can get titanium in black. So they think the only way to ‘boast’ titanium is to have it in silver.

That Amazfit doesn’t do black in any of their ‘premium’ watches is telling. Has to be the demographic they are aiming for. Yes, the cheaper end of the market.

To I, the T-Rex 3, in SILVER, looks CHEAP — & it is sure cheap compared to a ‘Garmin‘ ‘Fenix 8‘. But, it is question of getting what you pay for.

IF Amazfit does do a T-Rex 3 in BLACK, I would check it out. Otherwise, I am NOT interested.

A few years back, c. 2019, I used to be a HUGE FAN of Amazfit. I thought they would go far. I flirted with Amazfit watches. See image above.

But, Amazfit ALWAYS dissapointed.

Accuracy sucked, especially step counts — the Holy Grail for I.

I still keep an eye on their watches. I will confess that I LOVE how they look. I would gladly wear one IF it were accurate. And that is the rub. I carefully studied the reviews of the T-Rex Pro. Accuracy was NOT great. So, I stayed clear.

Earlier this year, after a fair amount of research, I checked out a ‘TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS‘. That proved to be a profound disappointment. It was GROSSLY inaccurate.

Yes, I have worked it out. The Chinese smartwatch makers are targeting the ‘unsophisticated masses’ who care more about price & looks than accuracy. And that has worked for them. They make nice looking watches & affordable prices — and the Asian crowd (e.g., Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc., etc.) love them. But, NOT much good for folks like I who want accuracy.

So, I will keep an eye out for reviews on the T-Rex 2. I am surprised that they, i.e., Amazfit, did NOT get any reviews in place prior to today’s announcement. Hhhmmm.
