    Oh just want to note. It does have a speaker. It sounds for alarms or during workouts.

    I had an original T rex , loved it but unfortunately about a year after purchase it began turning itself off, I was REALLY interested in this device to replace my Fenix 6 pro sapphire… but the MAIN thing I need from these devices is an accurate HR tracker… So after watching this it's gonna be a pass for me as it stands!.
    Great comprehensive video, especially as you've not had the device very long! 👍🏻

  3. John Wilson

    Had amaz fit T rex it lasted 2 months then just went blank!

  4. Amit Singh

    May be heart rate inconsistency due to of sweat produced and sensory got overwhelmed with it. You may consider this parameter while testing.

  5. mikeyis009

    So nearly identical to the T-Rex2 but 150% more expensive?
    Nope. I’ll keep my T-Rex2!

  6. rustam

    Does it have the same problem with HR data export like T-Rex 2?

  7. Sándor Bence

    Just like with other Amazfit watches, the HW is excellent but I don1t trust the SW experience. Either for accurate measurements or for the simple stuff like properly receive notifications. Same with Huawei. Garmin watches feel overpriced but pretty much everything else fails when I want a watch with proper notification handling, accurate and continuous heartrate monitoring and a week long battery life.

  8. Wonky Donkey

    Does anyone know what this watch measures lug to lug?

  9. 1Sign Ortiz

    too bad about the heart rate issue and the lake of mapping I was really interested because of the cost, Ill stick with my Garmins

  10. Bill C

    Just curious. I know that with the Falcon and the GTR4 you can connect to external devices through bluetooth (i.e.-HR chest strap). I wonder if you are able to connect the stryd pod through bluetooth as well or what the limit is to what can actually be connected.

  11. Tsvetomir Ivanov

    So indeed the watch does not have spotify and you can only upload mp3 files to play on its own, however if you have your phone on you, you can connect your buds to the phone, play music from the service of your choice and use the watch sorta as a remote control, to switch between tracks, adjust the volume and so on, which is still great, because you do not need to always take your phone out of your pocket or bag or wherever you are carrying it

    I have owned the amazfit T. rex 2 and I have nothing but good things to say, but seeing this I have mix feelings now.

  13. Frank V

    What are the main differences between Coros Vertix 2 and this? I'm guessing oled screen, battery length and marginally worse maps? $300 extra for the Coros. I've had mine for a year and had 3 replacements.

  14. Mr Public

    There is no coros in the comparison????
    Bad!

  15. anonymous

    chinese product that won't get any updates. no thank you

  16. Julian Zhong

    Being able to connect to external hrms is good, because I never use the hr sensor on my watch. topo map is not an issue for me, I don't think I will need that. I am a road runner in my neighborhood, I like to put on my shoes and run.

  17. AlexeyDnepr

    I don't like steel, heavy and big watches. They are not comfortable to wear.

  18. ElCidPhysics90

    If they make a software update the allows touch disabled but hard button use I think I’m sold.

  19. Ismael Rivera

    Once again great review, did you make a review for the Amazfit GTR 4? How the heart rate compare from the Falcon vs the GTR 4 it seems that the hearth rate of the Falcon seems similar to GTR 3 pro although the GTR 4 supposedly have a 30 % better heart rate.

  20. Max Stålhammar

    Great review as always! May I ask you what software you use to analyze the heart rate sensor accuracy?

  21. M H

    Amazfit is a Chinese company with Xiaomi owning 16%. So you get a good deal, but it's very likely your data is being sent to China.

  22. Paul Dwyes

    Personally I'd never give money to a Chinese brand like Amazfit, if not only for trying to support the Chinese government as little as possible. I know it's impossible to boycott all Chinese products for now but mitigating investment in CCP is always the right choice.

  23. Ingmar

    The problem of all amazfit is bad software. For example, at 3:22 you can see how the clock counts the pulse of the air 😂
