Maps - Garmin or Amazfit...?

How detailed are the maps on your watch? Are they good enough to be called a smartwatch? A brief video about the Garmin Fenix 7X and the Amazfit T-Rex 2...

I FIGURED OUT! Amazfit T-Rex 2 When you go to an outdoor activity, say, hiking, First there is a red screen with GPS written on the left, a hiker pic on the center and a heart on the right, if you press the GPS it takes a measure and after a while when the measurement is taken all turns green. Then, there is a white text on the bottom of the screen that says "Setings", a new screen opens up with a list: “Assistant” and the second one is "Navigation", another screen opens with the Titles: My Routes, which will list the rotes you have saved, and the next is “MY LOCATION” where you can see the latitude and longitud of where you are ! That is the location we saved on the first red screen, is there and you can acumulate a list of them; but I am yet to figure out how to send it - find it in Zepp to pass it to some other app. What I did was to take a phone picture of the watch screen to not loose it and have it easily available to inform my map location.
I am retired, but I have been a mountaineering intructor and seach and rescue rescue type in North, Central and South America, and I have degrees in Geography and Geographic information Systems, Basically, spent all my life in the field dealing with practical issues.

I can tell you that the T-Rex GPS accuracy is fantastic. I am currently in the middle of nowhere in high mountains of Peru and my first reading located the neares city 110 miles away instead of where I am so I was very dissapointed. The reason was that I am next to a steep tall mountain right behind me. Once I moved a bit wawy from it I got my first correct and highly accurate reading; within a meter of the entrance of my property, that shows up in 3D in Google Earth so there is no mistake - the next day I went for a hike on the edge of the mountain and took another correct reading in spite of been somehow under the topographic shade of the mountain. It seems the software learned the satelllite location path.
Thus, Im done with the GPS figuring out, because now with the very acurate “My location” reading - and a topo map - I can navigate anywhere for months without charging the battery. I can turn the watch on and off just to find my location :-)

Thesec 2 watches are surely aimed at different users. I have the F7x. It's awesome. Mapping is incredible, particularly if you and Talky Toaster maps. I would never consider the other watch as it just seems like a track recording, not a map.

In India Amazfit T Rex 2 costs Rs.16000 and garmin fenix 7x cost Rs.130000. So there is hell and heaven difference between two of these....

If you're an average runner, just get the Amazfit, there's no need to get the Garmin.

The crisp screen on the T Rex is waay better than the Garmin.

Amazfit good for low budget.Garmin is rock

[rexincognito]

As a young person I am very much inclined towards T Rex, I think it looks pretty cool and since I have a fully functioning smartphone in my pocket I wouldn't be really using other features much

your voice + video quality = perfect.
man you should do more content.

[editorvijaypro]

Trex Ultra Design Hardware + garmin software = Super Watch, I love the garmin sound of buttons amazing!

[marklorden]

You keep mispronouncing the name "Amazfit" by putting in a syllable that isn't there. I believe it's pronounced "Amaze-fit", not Amaza-fit "...

[robsilv]

Your comparing a $1000 watch to a $150 watch lol

[sushka]

Garmin all the way!! I’ve been using Garmin for years

[MrGanbat]

For me Amazfit is perfect device. I always love it. ❤

[Danny-BigD]

"yeap there we go". Yeah you selected the running man at the TOP of the watch.. haha didn't pop up on its on.. but the real question is ...WHY are you doing this? One is $399 vs $799..hello? That tells us everything we need to know. IT was never meant to go against Garmin

[Pedro-xlse]

You’re comparing a 1, 000 dolar watch made by a principal gps company to a 150 dolar watch

[xiondFirst]

I hate the UI for Garmin it's like a 80 year old designed it. They should revamp some of it and make it smoother.

[HKFromAbove]

Garmin fenix is 5 times the price though. But yes Garmin's navigation is much better.

[PauloSilva]

Please which Garmin model?
Please price Garmin?

[imaginary_farts]

Seriously what do you guys want at this price point try comparing it to a venue 2 from Garmin which is $400

How to work your watch is maybe something you should have figured out before you pressed record so we don't spend the first minute watching you fumble around with it.
