Huami’s Amazfit brand has launched the much-anticipated T-Rex Pro smartwatch. The wearable is an upgrade over the T-Rex that was launched at CES 2020 and has been a hot-selling product with impressive reviews.

The Amazfit T-Rex Pro retains the rugged design of its predecessor. The watch reportedly passed 15 military-grade tests and is designed to withstand different kinds of extreme conditions. Amazfit also subjected it to three extra endurance tests to ensure it ticks all the boxes as a rugged smartwatch.

It equally supports Bluetooth 5.0 BLE.

The watch’s design is attractive and the frame has a robust metal-sprayed outer bezel that keeps the weight light and complements the watch’s pleasing rugged texture. The strap is made from skin-friendly silicone material with a design that lets sweat flow through easily.

The watch also comes with more than 100 sports modes and runs on Amazfit’s RTOS. It features 24 hours heart rate monitor thanks to the BioTracker 2 PPG Bio-Tracking Optical Sensor onboard and alerts the user if the heart rate is too high. It also comes with a sleep tracking feature.
