T-Rex is Amazfit's outdoor sports watch series (don't check, it means T-Rex). The original T-Rex was released in January 2020, and the upgraded T-Rex Pro will wait until March 2021. Another year and two months later, I finally officially released the "second generation T-Rex 2" on May 24.
Yuewo T-Rex 2 seems to want to remove the position of the Pro version. It has upgraded the appearance process and design, added the - 30 ℃ low-temperature mode and five-star dual frequency positioning, and replaced the self-developed system ZeppOS.

Appearance and wear: more refined professional outdoor watch
It is still an environmentally friendly package that I am familiar with. The box is very close to the GTR 3 series. Except for the protective stickers on the front and back of the watch, the entire package is free of plastic. Simple accessories include instructions, a magnetic charger with a wire length of 80cm. The latter can be used with the GTR 3 series. Cook nodded straight after reading it.
This is just a "midnight black" jump T-Rex 2, which is the one out of stock from time to time in the four colors. The case is slightly smaller, and the screen rises from 1.3 inches to 1.39 inches. The proportion of silver black body+significantly improved screen, together with low-key details such as blackened stainless steel buttons, internal triangle punched nuts, and the stainless steel "reinforced bridge protection" on the right side (to protect the opening of the barometer inside), makes the watch more exquisite and high-end.
On the back is Huamiyue, a 6-channel self-developed BioTracker I'm proud of ™ 3.0 PPG sensor, 6 receivers under the huge "star ring" can be vaguely seen.
Left jump I GTR 3 Pro, right jump I T-Rex 2
The size of the dial is slightly reduced, and it will not be too incongruous for thin users to wear it. However, it is an outdoor sports watch with a 500mAh battery. The thickness and weight of the watch body are impressive, and the sense of dragging when shaking hands reminds me of Huawei WATCH 3 Pro for the first time.
The silicone watchband with sweat channel and N porous position is comfortable to wear. The PPG sensor has a large area, and the part in contact with the wrist feels a bit stuffy. Thanks to the soft wristband, you can even wear the T-Rex 2 to sleep. Of course, I may have slept too much.
In terms of daily maintenance, the screen protection glass of Yuewo T-Rex 2 is obviously thicker than that of ordinary watches. It's OK. It's very off-road. The convex height of the watch ring is lower than that of the previous generation, and the side return operation is more convenient.
Normally, the back cover and sensor made of "Pilates" material are easy to leave scratches, but the watch has a fixed radian. In fact, the back cover only contacts the charger and wrist, so there is nothing to worry about. What I should pay more attention to when I jump T-Rex 2 is the watch ring, because it is a part higher than the wrist, and it is hard to avoid bumping in daily life. The Yuewo T-Rex 2 uses large grained frosted plastic, and the bumping is not as obvious as metal.
Basic experience: This is great for me
Yuewo T-Rex 2 may be the 1.39 inch OLED screen of the same model of GTR 3, with a resolution of 454x454 and 326ppi, which is equal to Apple's iPhone SE (2022). The peak brightness of the screen and the GTR 3 Pro of 1000 nits are five to five open. It is easy to kill LCD mobile phones outdoors. It is also readable in the midday sun.
This screen is a very special RGB arrangement. It is a bit like the subpixel arrangement used by Samsung on large OLEDs such as tablets and laptops. It has typical RGB characteristics. For horizontal and vertical text, its effect is more refined than the GTR 3 Pro arranged by Delta.
Some of them are delivered with dials ↑
Yuewo T-Rex 2 is the first T-Rex series product equipped with self developed ZeppOS, so its use experience is closer to that of the GTR 3/GTS 3 series, which is also ZeppOS. Yuewo T-Rex 2 also gained the core selling points of ZeppOS - exaggerated customization and fully automated health and motion detection.
The shortcut card of the negative screen, positioning accuracy, vibration mode of different reminders, combination of satellite positioning, etc. can all be customized according to preferences. Yuewo T-Rex 2 also uses the GTR 3 series dial store. It changes the dial every day and does not carry duplicate samples for several months. AOD information screen display also has 6 default dials to choose from. If you don't like it, most dials have corresponding AOD modes.
On Jump Me T-Rex 2, Jump Me removed the secondary screen function (the left and right screen switching page of the dial) and added the menu glow effect, which significantly improved the fluency. Its content menu scrolls smoothly, which is more comfortable than some 60 frame mobile phones with residual blood!
The linear motor is also well adjusted. The vibration triggered by long pressing the dial reminds me of the apple watch. The T-Rex 2 uses the buzzer of "Didi Bie Bie Bie". The 3-level volume can be adjusted. The repeating prompt sound of Cyberpunk is really a "gentle tap to wake up the sleeping soul", which has a special flavor.
As for the offline payment of WeChat and Alipay, and the NFC bus card supporting hin, hin and many cities, these are consistent with other Yuewo products (I don't know without looking at the list, there are so many versions of Lingnan Tong).
For the endurance part, the non WearOS+500mAh battery is the guarantee of endurance. The official logo of Yuewo T-Rex 2 has been used daily for 24 days and severely for 10 days, which is longer than the 21 days of GTR 3.
The measured AOD is turned off, and the automatic health monitoring such as heart rate/abnormal heart beat/sleep breathing quality/pressure/blood oxygen is fully open+automatic motion recognition+the highest precision GPS ultra heavy mode. The power consumption of T-Rex 2 is about 12% a day and 3% during 8 hours of sleep. Its endurance is extremely abundant, and even the AOD can be operated for more than 3 days. As long as it is not half a month's business trip, or high-intensity GPS positioning, it doesn't need to worry about the charger.
Sports and outdoor: settings that may save lives
In terms of motion detection, since it is the ZeppOS after the algorithmic arms race, Yuewo T-Rex 2 also has more than 150 motion modes. but The core is the best automatic motion monitoring in domestic smart watches, which may not be one of them 8 sports including "walking, indoor walking, outdoor running, treadmill, outdoor cycling, swimming in the pool, elliptical machine and rowing machine" can be automatically recognized.
In sensitive mode, walking for about a minute will trigger the motion recording mode of heart rate monitoring+GPS track. A few steps to commute can produce sports records, which greatly Satisfied my vanity Promoted my enthusiasm for sports. The customization ability of ZeppOS also extends here. The data arrangement, layout, what data to display, automatic segmentation and automatic pause in the motion mode are available for customization projects that you can think of or not think of, Amazing。
In the app, you can also label and learn AI for various activities such as driving, riding, sitting quietly, even eating, brushing teeth, bathing, etc. This is too annoying.
But the Yuewo T-Rex 2 is still an outdoor sports watch after all. Its core is positioning and durability. The rest is just a afterthought.
Yuewo T-Rex 2 is one of the few smart watches that supports five-star dual frequency positioning:
Five Stars It refers to the Chinese Beidou, the American GPS, the Russian GLONASS, the European Galileo, and the Japanese quasi zenith QZSS, which are all supported by positioning systems you have never heard of.
"Dual frequency" It means that in addition to the common L1 band GPS, the L5 band signal supports faster positioning and higher accuracy. Xiaomi8, which launched dual band GPS on mobile phones in those years, has done several rounds of science popularization, so there is no more beeping here.
In the actual test, the positioning accuracy and speed of Jump Me T-Rex 2 have been greatly improved. Even in the accuracy first mode, as long as it is not indoors, Jump Me T-Rex 2 can almost complete the star search positioning in seconds. The positioning accuracy is good, generally only 1-5 meters from the actual track, and some Android phones have to face the wall.
Before using the T-Rex 2, I thought it was enough for outdoor sports watches to be fast, accurate and firm. But after being equipped with ZeppOS's automatic motion recording, I knew wrong. Outdoor watches still need a good automatic detection and recording function. After all, in the hot desert, humid rainforest, alpine snow line, polar freezing point and other places where the environment is harsh, it takes great efforts to ensure safety, and it is not practical to require users to manually close the sports records quickly.
Not to mention the professional scene, even if you go camping in the forest in the suburbs and jump the T-Rex 2's automatic track recording, you can follow your own track when you get lost. In many cases, this is a life-saving function, which is more practical than maps and compass. In addition to the heavy use of more than 10 days of life, there is a wax gourd tofu, even if the phone and rechargeable treasure have no power, there is also a watch with you.
In addition, when going outdoors, physical keys are extremely important configuration, not decoration. The left side of T-Rex 2 is up/down, and the right side is confirm/return. Except that the 9 grid buttons in the shortcut center cannot be operated, T-Rex 2 can complete almost all operations by pressing keys alone. In addition to blind touch operation, it is also very practical when the screen is wet or in cold weather with gloves.
In terms of manufacturing resistance, the T-Rex Pro has 15 military regulations certification, and the T-Rex 2 is mainly a new - 30 ℃ low-temperature mode that can operate for a long time.
-What is the concept of 30 degrees? During the peak climbing period from May to October, the average temperature of Mount Everest was - 26 degrees, and the historical low temperature record was - 41 degrees. The military certification of Yuewo T-Rex 2 includes a test of - 40 to 70 degrees. The official has also conducted a 34km high altitude hot-air balloon test. Yuewo T-Rex 2 can withstand a low temperature of - 64 degrees in a short period of time, so it is accurate.
Household refrigerators generally can only reach - 18 degrees. If we are on Shenzhen Bay No.1, we will have no test conditions. We will report to you when we have the opportunity.
summary
Whether it's Amazfit Yuwo's T-Rex 2, or Jiaming and Matsu's outdoor sports watches, their unified feature is to be absolutely reliable, and the additional feature is expensive, but the price of Yuwo is relatively high. In addition, they are a bit like military products and Swiss army knives. They may be used to save lives at critical moments.
In terms of configuration, what I hope most is to add wireless charging, so that the mobile phone can also charge the watch at any time. I hope I can wait for it next year. Although it's also casual to go camping wearing GTR 3 Pro with a suit at ordinary times, I'd better change to T-Rex 2 next time I go camping, so as to highlight my specialty as a pretty boy in Shenzhen Bay. If I get lost, I can follow the automatic track to go back to the camp by myself
