This new color for Amazfit’s T-Rex 3 smartwatch looks fantastic

Amazfit has launched the T-Rex 3 smartwatch in a new color, adding to the two existing hues already available. It’s called Haze Grey, and the case and strap have an off-white, light grey finish, matched to the same metal bezel seen on the other two models. This time, the triangular indicators are in contrasting orange rather than red.

The T-Rex 3 is already a good looking smartwatch, but it’s unquestionably tough, and the Haze Grey color softens it slightly, shifting away from the military-style black color, and what some may see as “rescue” red. It’s a good addition to the range, giving potential buyers a great mix of understated and brighter colors to choose from.

We really liked the T-Rex 3 when we took a deep dive into the smartwatch in late 2024. It has real presence on the wrist, a good array of features, actual physical buttons to press, and strong durability. The Zepp companion app works with both Android and iOS too.

It’s an interesting alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, especially as it costs less than half the price. The new Haze Grey version is available now and costs $280 in the U.S., the same as the other two colors, but the price has risen to 299 British pounds in the U.K., up from the 279 pounds for the other two colors.

If you buy the T-Rex 3 in Haze Grey in the U.K., Amazfit will bundle its open-ear Amazfit Up earbuds, which usually cost 44.90 pounds, which offsets the increase a little. You’ll have to be quick though, as the offer only runs until February 29. If you want a smartwatch that’s not quite so tough looking, Amazfit’s Active 2 is worth a look, and it costs just $100.

5 things the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro can do that the Apple Watch Series 7 can’t
Always-on screen mode on the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro.

The Apple Watch Series 7 goes on sale starting October 15, and the first batch of reviews have already dropped. While you might already be keen on buying an Apple Watch Series 7, we're here to show you five things it can't do compared to the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro which we're also putting to the test.
1. Automatic nap tracking

The Apple Watch Series 7 can track your sleep. It can also track your naps. However, to use this feature, you need to create a sleep schedule on your iPhone. On the other hand, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro tracks your sleep automatically. All you need to do is wear it on your wrist while sleeping. Amazfit even says that it can track naps that exceed 20 minutes, which most other smartwatches confuse for genuine sleep. Automatic naps tracking is extremely useful for people who enjoy naps, work the night shift, or simply have an irregular sleep schedule Cosmo Kramer style. That's where the GTR 3 Pro can keep tracking where the Series 7 can't.
2. Much more data on sleep
Part of sleep tracking is numbers, and sure enough, the Apple Watch Series 7 tells you how many hours you spent in the bed and how many of them you actually slept. On the other hand, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro can monitor sleep stages, track sleep breathing quality and give you suggestions for sleep habit improvements. The smartwatch allows you to check your sleep data quickly, easily, and shows up directly on the watch screen -- so there's no need to go swiping through your phone and launching apps when you first wake up.
3. Stress Monitor

The Amazfit GTS 2 has an oblong, Apple Watch-style design with an always-on 1.65-inch AMOLED screen on the front, while the GTR 2 has a round 1.39-inch face with the same always-on AMOLED technology.
