Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 review: Bigger and bigger
Wareable's comprehensive verdict on the Amazfit Ultra 2, featuring battery tests, design analysis and more from the Scottish mountains.
Condensed by AI-Portable from Editorial queue.
There’s no denying that the Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 is an upgrade over the T-Rex 3 Pro in many ways. It’s got a better build quality, an absolutely gigantic battery life, and tons more storage. However, as is often the case, bigger isn’t always better. This watch shines for those whose adventures take them outdoors for extended periods. Yet with the price and size increasing sharply alongside the upgrades, it’s debatable whether it’s an easy choice over the competition. If it’s a gym companion you seek, there are no new features that will really justify the heftier price tag on this behemoth of a watch, and, as is often the way with Amazfit, not all the features actually work as advertised.

The T-Rex Ultra 2 is the latest release in Amazfit’s ever-growing family of outdoor watches , which generally aim to emulate the success of the latest Garmin Fenix series.
All the watches in this ecosystem are rugged pieces featuring outdoor tools such as color maps and flashlights. And this one continues the bigger-and-bigger trend, with a larger build, longer battery life, greater storage capacity, and—you guessed it—a higher price tag.
Despite that introduction, it’s not enormously different from last year’s T-Rex 3 Pro , and for that reason, our review of it might not be that different.
When it comes to Amazfit watches, we always seem to reach the same conclusion: they pack an impressive number of features, especially for the price, but they’re always glitchy.
The brand seems content to operate on the premise of releasing unfinished products to market, then promising to refine them through software updates, which sometimes happens and sometimes doesn’t. To cut to the chase, the Ultra 2 is a bit of the same old story.
Compared to the T-Rex 3 Pro, the Ultra 2 uses higher-quality materials, and the battery life is much improved, which is nothing to scoff at if you’re looking for an adventure watch.
