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.
