I just got back from my first trip to Hawaii.
It also supports over 170 workout types.
That makes the T-Rex 3 suitable for not just snorkeling and surfing but high-speed watersports, too.
(Think, jet skis, water skis, wakeboards and so on.)
Remember, smartwatchwaterproof ratings are misleading.
(This comes directly fromApple).
On the other hand, 100 meters should have you covered for all but deep-sea diving.
Dual-band GPS
Onboard GPS, i.e.
paddling into and/or catching waves.
If I had to estimate, that metric should be closer to 2, maybe 3 yards max.
(This was, after all, my first-ever surf lesson.)
That said, my end-of-day paddle to shore may be what skewed the data.
The screen is easy to read underwater
The T-Rex 3s 1.5-inch screen was super-easy to read while underwater.
(Hawaiis clear waters helped, of course.)
However, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch Ultra both top out at 3,000 nits.
Lots of buttons for easy navigation
Im a big fan of smartwatches that combine touchscreen navigation with physical buttons.
The four buttons on the Amazfit model are labeled via etching into the metal bezel, something I appreciate.
Fortunately, the bright orange rubber strap that comes with the T-Rex 3 is quite comfortable.
Not only is it soft and flexible but it also has plenty of stretch.
The color also made it easy for my partner to spot me while underwater.
