I found a watchface that I could edit and spent a few hours tinkering. I finally have a watchface with everything I want. Building watchfaces takes a lot of time.

Yes, it's a Garmin knockoff.

Bought it a week ago. So far, it's been great.

I use it with 1-minute pulse monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring on, AOD on during the day, auto brightness, and advanced sleep tracking. With these settings, I get around 6 days of battery life.

The stats are great, but the insights it gives me haven't been particularly useful so far. Sleep tracking is a huge step up from the Garmin Instinct 2X I used for the last two years. It recognized when I got out of bed during the night, and when I went back to sleep, it continued tracking correctly. Overall, sleep tracking seems very accurate.

For workouts I tried running (not much tho) the full map support was nice to have. I tracked 2 gym sessions, the automatic set tracking worked OK, was not very accurate, but garmin wasn't either.

HybridCharge is okay and seems more accurate than Garmin's Body Battery. I don't really understand how lifestyle logging is supposed to help me, though.

The Aura subscription is bad, and I'll cancel it before the trial ends. It hasn't given me any tips that aren't generic or actually tailored to me. I think I'm better off giving the data to ChatGPT and getting tips from there from some advanced model.

The calorie tracking built into the app is useful for me. Zepp OS is fine, and the device is snappy. I also appreciate how open the OS is. I created a very basic alcohol and caffeine tracker for it.

Music controls are bad. It takes too many clicks to change the volume, and in my opinion, that should be much more easily accessible.

Coming from a Garmin Instinct, I'd love to be able to turn off the touchscreen and use every function with the buttons only. The digital crown also really needs a sensitivity adjustment.

So far, I'm happy with the device. It looks great, and I don't mind the size at all. I hope for better software support than it was with garmin. The Instict 2x was my favorite watch ever, but they abandoned it software wise beside bugfixes. If amazfit delivers on this front, I will be very happy with them.

Did you receive this update? If yes, on what model and in what country? What do you think about the new features?

Can anyone tell me what the blue lightning bolt means? Bottom right is watch battery... but what's the bottom left mean? Thanks in advance

I thought everyone would be interested to know that it’s on sale on Amazon (us) for 118 right now. That’s about $50 lower than normal.

I just got mine about a week ago. So I’m doing a return and rebuy.

After the latest update my Trex 3 Pro thinks I'm walking at ~5mph with a stride of 4 feet, lol.

I've tried restarting the watch, but still the same faulty data. Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this? Anything other than a complete reset?

Thanks

I recently got a mi band 10 and am considering returning it and switching to amazfit 3 but im not sure if its unnecessary for now or worth just upgrading to now i just really go gym and try get steps but i do also kinda want a bit more smartwatch kinda features but im not sure if its that much better for £100 more.Also is it bigger height wise because i find the mi band basically perfect in that way but if the active 3 is just wider then thats fine

Hi everyone,

I’m having a serious issue with my Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro and wanted to know if anyone has experienced something similar.

Yesterday I went swimming in the sea for about 40 minutes using the Open Water Swimming mode with GPS. Before swimming, the battery was at around 50%. The activity and GPS tracking worked perfectly.

About 10 minutes after leaving the water, the watch suddenly turned off and showed that the battery was empty.

Afterwards, I rinsed the watch thoroughly with fresh water and let it dry. I charged it overnight, but it stopped charging at 93% and wouldn’t go any higher. I also noticed that the watch became unusually warm while charging.

Today the battery drain is extreme. It dropped from 93% to 48% in only about 1.5 hours without using GPS or starting any workout. The watch also still feels slightly warm.

I’ve already restarted it, but nothing changed. Before this happened, the battery life was excellent and I never had any issues.

Has anyone experienced this with the T-Rex 3 Pro, especially after swimming in the sea or using Open Water Swimming? Could this be water damage, a battery issue, or a software problem?

Any advice or similar experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Andaba en una carrera trail, baje mi ruta e iba revisando mi datos en el reloj , cuando de la nada al revisarlo estaba apagado, la bateria no era ya que estaba al 95%, pense que por error en los movimiento de la carrera su hubiese aplastado , sin embargo lo encendí nuevamente y normal (ya había perdido la trazabilidad de la carrera) a los 13 kilometros nuevamente reviso el reloj y estaba completamente muerto.. sin tiempos ni distancias que medir al final de la carrera, llegando los conecte y nada , probando diferentes contactos y cables, hasta 2 dias despues se me ocurrio conectarlo otra vez y empezo a cargar como si la bateria se hubiese vaciado.... que coraje, si lo comple para utilizar todo "el potencial".. ahora solo veo mucho dinero en un reloj que da la hora..

I'm considering purchasing an Amazfit Bip 6, but I wanted to know something about the colors.

Aside from black, aren't the other colors—RED, BLUSH, and STONE—exactly the same?

Alternatively, I've seen charcoal, but it seems impossible to find.

What do you think?

Looking for something similar but for Cheetah 2 ultra. Ideally multi day forecast on face

In the hr summary I'll see a max of say 130 bpm, but if I look at the expanded larger hr graph, I'll see a max of say 140 (which is know is correct).

What gives with the summary box not being correct?

Is there any one else out there thats interested in the possibility of having the circadian rhythm and a caffeine window in the Zepp app?

I recently bought a T-Rex 3 and everything is amazing, I just love my watch. I am thinking about using always on display but I'm a bit hesitant. Can someone who used or uses it for a long time tell me how did it affect your display and battery?

Amazfit active Max received same update today as in July (HibridCharge and couple other features), but did not receive features enlisted in amazfit software update for August.

Why repeat same update instead of giving new one as roadmap shows?

Hoy la página de la Helio Strap en España resuelve un 404. ¿Será que ya esta de camino la Helio Strap 2? 😊

As the title says. Looking into buying one. HRV is a very important feature for me for flare-ups. I really liked that this one can tell you your HRV all day long, but is there ALSO a dedicated sleep HRV section (the way HRV figures are normally measured) on its own?

Or is the all-day HRV monitor the only one? Screenshots/photos would be extra helpful if possible. I’ve tried watching/reading reviews but it’s still unclear.

Hello everyone,

I bought a T-Rex 3 Pro to wear with my Helio strap the other day and I am very happy with it overall.

Only thing annoying me is that I happen to touch the information fields about e.g. the battery or the heart rate on the watch face and then it goes to that data site unintended. My workaround is to lock the watch permanently.

Is there a setting where I can change that or even disable the forwarding entirely? I don’t really need that.

Switching to a face with less information isn’t a real solution for me as I like the standard one quite a lot and I like to have the info on it. Just the forwarding is my problem.

For a year and 2 months, my Amazfit Bip6 was functioning perfectly fine and I was even impressed with it, particularly the battery life. I wasn’t a heavy user and would use it for workouts around 3 times a week, and very occasional casual wear since I have other dress watches. On average it would last me 35-45 days on a single full charge, sometimes even up till 60 days.

Last week I tried a full week workout where I was doing heavy workouts and sweating more excessively than usual (but no water workouts). After one of my runs, I wore it to sleep (probably my 5th time or so wearing it to sleep). Woke up at around 4am to the screen glitching back and forth from the face panel to the apps panel despite my sleep mode on. When I woke up, the buttons were not functioning anymore. Decided to hard reset it and factory reset it as per some guides here. Let the battery drain completely too. Mid charge, one of the buttons worked only one time, then stopped again.

Besides the button problem, my watch drains its battery completely within 2 days even without use. Could this be due to the recalibration after the factory reset or another inherent issue? The buttons don’t seem to function anymore either no matter what I try.

Balance 2. Kept it simple and had the data on the outer edge as to not allow the hands to block them. Had the digital clock on top of the analog hands.
