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.

The Amazfit T-Rex Pro adopts a 1.3-inch always-on AMOLED display with a resolution of 360 x 360p and 277PPI. The display has a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and an oleophobic coating. It also comes with a 3-axis acceleration sensor, a blood-oxygen saturation measurement system, a Geomagnetic sensor, an Altimeter, a 3-axis gyroscope, 10 ATM water-resistance, and four global navigation satellite systems of GPS, and now, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo navigation systems. 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.

For power, there a 390mAh battery that can last up to 18 days on typical usage and up to 9 days on heavy usage. The battery will stay up to 40 hours on GPS mode and it takes just 1.5 hours to charge it from empty. Charging is done via a magnetic charging base.

The smartwatch is available in three colors – Meteorite Black, Desert Grey, and Steel Blue. It carries a price tag of RM 659 in Malaysia. Amazfit has also disclosed that it will be sold in the U.S for  $179.99 and in the U.K for £139. The watch will go on sale in the US via Amazfit U.S on March 23 and in the U.K on March 31 via Argos and Amazfit UK.

Huami‘s premium sports watch, the Amazfit T-Rex may get a successor soon. The successor which will bear the moniker Amazfit T-Rex Pro has been the subject of a couple of leaks in recent times driving speculations that the launch is imminent. A comprehensive unboxing video of the T-Rex Pro has now appeared on YouTube.

Also, a screenshot of the official Amazfit EU listing for the T-Rex Pro that is yet to go live has leaked on Twitter. The wearable device will be sold for €169,90. The T-Rex is presently listed on Amazfit website for €139,90.

The video shows the T-Rex Pro still retains the same packaging as well as design as its predecessor.  The Pro version however, is said to feature a newer BioTracker 2 PPG sensor and a higher waterproof rating. Recall that the T-Rex has a waterproof rating of 5ATM but the T-Rex Pro rating is 10ATM which means the watch is truly waterproof and good for most watersports like swimming, sailing and snorkeling in shallow water.

Other specifications include a 1.3-inch AMOLED display with a resolutionof 360 x 360p and 277PPI. The display is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 as well as an oleophobic coating. It also comes with a 3-axis acceleration sensor, 3-axis gyroscope,
Geomagnetic sensor, Altimeter, GPS, and now, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo navigation systems. It equally supports Bluetooth 5.0 BLE.

We also expects the T-Rex Pro to run on a new operating system based on RTOS. Under the hood, there is a 390mAh battery. On the T-Rex, Huami claims it offer up to 20 days of battery life on a single charge. With the software improvements, we expect the battery life to be longer.

An earlier leak suggests the upcoming smartwatch will be available in three colors – black, gray, and green. We think the camouflage version looked cool and Huami won’t likely skip that.
