Guess what a premium tough outdoor GPS smartwatch with 150+ sports modes and 5 satellite positioning would cost?
Prices for these kinds of products are in the four-digit range due to the dominance of companies like Polar and Garmin in the wearable technology market.
However, Amazfit Malaysia has just unveiled the T-Rex 2 for an incredible RM799! You read that correctly—RM799!
You might wonder what this watch can do that your Apple Watch, FitBit, or G-Shock watch can’t.
Amazfit recently sent the rugged outdoor GPS smartwatch Amazfit T-Rex 2 into space on a quest to prove its strength in extreme environments. The space journey began in the city of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, where Amazfit T-Rex 2 was sent off on a lightweight spacecraft equipped with fully functional tracking and control systems, as well as an on-board camera to capture the most exciting highlights during the two and a half hour round-trip.
You can watch the video here:
The Amazfit T-Rex 2 has passed 15 military-grade tests and can remain functional in temperatures as low as -30℃ through the ultra-low temperature operation feature.
With a battery life that can stretch to 24 days, it comes with dual-band, 5-satellite positioning and route-import and real-time navigation for optimum outdoor use. Built for any terrain, the Amazfit T-Rex 2 can also resist heat up to 70℃, has a humidity resistance of 240h, 96h salt-spray resistance and shock resistance.
The Amazfit T-Rex 2 also has a huge selection of over 150 sports modes including the toughness-testing triathlon mode, the professional lap-data recording track run mode, with smart trajectory correction, and the more leisurely golf swing mode.
The T-Rex 2 is an outdoor, durable, and rugged smartwatch that was used by wall climbers from Camp5, the climbing gym, to demonstrate both its capacity AND adaptability. Additionally, the press was encouraged to take part in three extreme challenges—Ninja Warrior, net climbing, and rock climbing—during the media launch at Camp5. As these were timed exercises, we were surprised that the watch had a function that allowed you to select the precise activity for each one and was used to track both timings and heart rate for the runs. And indeed, it survived all those activities with finesse.

Benky Lin , Country Manager of Amazfit Malaysia, said, “We are happy to introduce the Amazfit T-Rex 2 here in Malaysia. This is a smartwatch that is ready to evolve your instinct anywhere in the world. We have pushed it to the limit, going all the way to space, subjecting it to the most extreme conditions we can reach and that includes the heat of Death Valley in California and depths of the Pacific. The Amazfit T-Rex 2 is a smartwatch you can wear with confidence in any terrain condition.”
The Amazfit T-Rex 2’s look is inspired by the spirit of nature and comes in Astro Black & Gold, Ember Black, Wild Green and Desert Khaki. It is rugged in style with a HD AMOLED display that enables the wearer to download dozens of watch faces with matching always-on displays or images unique to the wearer.
So if you’ve been meaning to purchase or upgrade to a new smart watch that can track all your outdoor activities and your upcoming trip to space – this is the watch for you.
