Hi, everyone, I'm Domingo Gomes from Newesc.
You know, in February I got an email from Amazfit saying they wanted to collaborate with me
and send me Amazfit T-Rex so I could analyze it
and among the emails we exchanged, there was one that said something that's pretty important to this review
It said: "Due to the characteristics and capabilities of the T-Rex, who has passed 12 military certifications,
we hope you can bring creative ideas to bear on the way the clock is presented.
and that's what I did.
But before I calmly show you each test performed and the results
because believe me it's very important and worth the wait
I want to tell you some quick things that I think are important
The first thing is that in terms of user experience, it's identical to the GTS I've been testing before
It's true that it's a little thicker and heavier
but the navigation system and all the limitations that I found and mentioned in my review of the GTS because in this one you will also find
However, this watch is not for everyone and the fact that it is so thick is its first limitation.
It is very comfortable to use and you can wear it all day without any problem but for example
when you go to sleep with him, it's not so comfortable there anymore.
In addition to this, their straps are certainly interchangeable
but they have a unique mechanism so you probably don't even have the screwdriver to do it,
and I have, I couldn't do it because I don't know how the hell to do it
and even if I did, I'd have to have special straps made for this watch
something that, for example, I haven't seen.
But let's not refuse.
The main reason why someone would buy a watch like this is because of its construction and resistance
and this is what we need to talk about.
As José García said in his review of Xataka, the reports related to the 12 military certifications and the water resistance
can't be found online, you have them on the product page
but if you look for them you won't find them and that in itself is a bit weird. But what frustrates me even more
is to see several youtubers mention it without trying it
without checking and testing.
It is possible that these reports exist but for some reason are not published on the Internet
but we who test this kind of product have a responsibility to prove it
and to know if what they're really telling us is true or pure marketing.
Oddly enough, the only channel I've seen that has done a decent job of testing him is the Ciclista Rodando
which has barely eight thousand followers and has made some tests that are of interest to its audience
and they're a little more demanding than most people I've seen.
So, Jonathan, very good job.
Anyway, since I haven't seen the tests I would like to have seen in this kind of reviews
I've decided to make mine pretty simple here in quarantine
and believe me they've been pretty efficient because the clock doesn't even work anymore
The first thing I did was check their water resistance.
I didn't throw it in a pool or anything, I just put it in this bottle for an hour.
Having 5ATM resistance, it should pass this test without any problem.
and the truth is, he has.
I took it off just after an hour had passed,
but I started noticing some problems, specifically in the touch of the screen.
I thought it would be the dampness or my fingers that were wet so I continued with the next test.
On this one, I mounted a ladder and threw the clock to the ground ten times from a height of about two and a half meters
The watch was left with some scratches but its screen was intact and still worked without any problem
Well, at least for an hour.
You see, after the previous test I went to lunch
and when I came back, the clock was kept running for a few seconds
so something was wrong.
Still, I decided to continue with the next test I had prepared.
The one about pouring boiling water on it
As they said on their website that it was capable of withstanding high temperatures
because this was the safest way to do it, without burning down the house.
After pouring the water on him
wait about half an hour until it cools down a bit. After that I took it to see if it still worked
but apparently it just needed a little brute force.
When it lit up, I could tell it was completely fucked up.
Those lines on the screen showed that the water had penetrated, which also explained why it wasn't responding to the top.
Anyway, now that I've completely screwed up the clock, I'll go on with my tests
and put it in the fridge for a day.
The next day he was like this.
I tried to slowly defrost it with hot water
and when I got it off the ice completely I tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't respond.
At this point I thought I had nothing to lose so I drove over it.
Literally.
First with the screen turned up, this caused the sensor to be scratched a little
but the screen was intact.
So I did it again with the screen down to see if I could support the weight of the car from this position
and the truth is he did it again, without any problem.
Thanks also to the frames that protrude and are around the screen
What has clearly shattered this clock has been the water.
It's very strong, you can throw it away without fear that it won't break
So if you're going to use it for swimming, and especially in seawater. Don't do it, it's not worth it.
It's true that this is the brand's first rugged watch, so it should be a little more benevolent
but no, okay, they already have experience
doing Smart Watches, so they should focus on what they can do, like an Amazfit GTS.
This will give you a good experience, in case you are not going to use it as a sports watch
but if that's not the case, why the hell are you buying it?
Anyway guys, I hope you liked this review and if so let a LIKE subscribe
and if you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments
See you at the next.
