Since its launch in September, Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro has accompanied countless explorers into the wilderness. From snow-capped peaks to deep blue coastlines, users have embraced it through one sporting moment after another.
For Amazfit, the sale of a watch is not the end, but the beginning of a journey of companionship. We believe that continuous evolution is essential to thrive in an ever-changing outdoor environment. In just three months since its launch, we have maintained a steady update cadence, releasing six versions to date. This article focuses on reviewing the T-Rex 3 Pro's profound evolution in outdoor activity and navigation performance.
Maps and Navigation: Intuitive interaction, undaunted by extreme environments and challenges
Since the launch of the T-Rex 3 Pro, optimizing its mapping and navigation capabilities has remained a key focus of our efforts.
• Turn alerts have been made more responsive, with enhanced visual cues added. Users are now alerted promptly before turns, preventing missed junctions that could disrupt journey plans or race pacing.
• When off-course, the watch now alerts users with stronger vibrations and audible beeps, prompting them to check their route and stay on track.
• Map display and track rotation fluidity have been significantly enhanced. During sharp turns, the map remains smooth and responsive, ensuring the visual focus aligns seamlessly with the actual terrain. We have enhanced the UI engine to support deeply customizable display and rotation modes, achieving a 12-fold increase in refresh efficiency and 2.5 times greater GPU rendering performance.
• Optimized battery life UI display during exercise, providing users with clearer, more intuitive insights into remaining runtime. This facilitates scientifically sound route and journey planning, ensuring worry-free outdoor activities.
• Continued optimization of battery performance during track navigation extends endurance for longer, safer outdoor activities.
• Ongoing refinement of offline route planning functionality ensures reliable, secure navigation when disconnected from networks.
Refined workout Modes: Understanding Every Drop of Your Sweat
We believe outdoor pursuits are more than movement. They provide a meaningful dialogue with the environment and with yourself.
• Weighted Load Mode: During multi-day treks with heavy packs, the weight carried significantly impacts physical exertion. The newly added weighted load mode enables the system to calculate fitness and recovery data more accurately when accounting for additional loads, helping you plan your itinerary appropriately.
• New Mountain Hiking Workout: Better catering to diverse sporting needs, enabling more refined data recording.
Operational Logic and New Features: Building Security Through Attention to Detail
• Added a screen capture function to the watch app, enabling users to swiftly share compelling data and moments from their watch with friends;
• Optimized the watch screen's wake strategy, enhancing readability of screen information outdoors whether the display is off or on;
• Refined the exercise completion logic to minimize accidental misoperation, ensuring reliable data recording.
Since September, every meticulous refinement has been inspired by feedback from users worldwide. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro is more than just a watch; it is a companion that evolves alongside your journey. Moving forward, we shall continue to unlock its potential through updates, empowering every adventurer who embraces life to the fullest.
