I just got back from my first trip to Hawaii. The perfect antidote to Seattle’s sunless winters, I craved a mix of outdoor adventure and relaxation and the Big Island did not disappoint. With a surf lesson, national park hike and snorkeling all on the agenda, I wanted to bring along a smartwatch capable of tracking all three activities and settled on the Amazfit T-Rex 3.
This large-and-in-charge wearable boasts a roomy and bright 1.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, metal bezel, four physical buttons and high-tech location and wellness tracking features often only found on costlier smartwatch models. That feature list includes dual-band GPS, offline map navigation, air pressure and altitude sensors, on-demand SpO2, stress and breath rate readings, and detailed insights into sleep and workout recovery. It also supports over 170 workout types.
