Many of the watches on the market seem to blur together. If you get any metal at all, many of them are made of plastic and aluminum. If nothing else, it lowers costs. The options for a more premium look and feel are limited. There is a gap between cost and availability. I've been using the new watch for a month and am ready to give my opinion on it.
The best Amazfit Falcon deals are available today.
The T-Rex 2 and the GTS 4 are the most recent devices that I've had the chance to review. The company has made a lot of progress with its custom operating system. The issues I had with it have been solved. The new Falcon adopts almost all of the features of the T-Rex 2, adds some new ones, and is wrapped in a titanium case.
It's slightly larger than its prehistoric sibling, but lighter by a couple of grams. The weight difference caught me by surprise because they share the same size battery and lead. The display is protected by sapphire crystal and has a 1.28 inch screen. It's.11 inches smaller than the T-Rex2.
The display on theFalcon is bright, responsive, and colorful, but Amazfit put a nearly 2mm bezel around it Because of the glass covering the screen curves, the border is less noticeable than on the Falcon's crystal cover, which had a lot of debate about its size. I don't think it's a dealbreaker. It is noticeable, but I wish it was more similar to the T-Rex 2.

The Amazfit falcon feels very sturdy. No buttons or components are rattling. A silent click occurs when you press any of the buttons. Unlike previous T-Rex watches, you can only use the buttons. If you wiggle your wrist, the watch strap is the only noise from the Wearable.
A Liquid Silicone band is included in Amazfit. Pre-installed rubbery watch straps are pretty nice. It's flexible and has a nice stretch. Unlike the T-Rex 2, this 22mm strap is easy to replace. The universal spring bars are used to connect the strap to the watch. It's not the watch that rattles, it's the quick clasp on the strap.
There is a custom operating system called Zepp OS 3.0 that is used for the software. It is the same as on T-Rex 2 Many of the apps on your phone offer a good amount of information directly on the watch, with more available in the companion app on your phone.
This version of the OS is better than previous versions. It feels more complete and has the same mechanics that I like on many of the other topAndroid watches. It's not as good as Wear OS, but you can reply to messages with a quick reply.
The Falcon has a lot of the health and fitness features that are included in the Amazfit Wearables. There weren't a lot of differences between the Amazfit T-Rex 2 and the SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH 5 PRO. It's possible that the Amazfit Falcon could have a tougher battle because of its access to the internet and price.
If you want to improve your fitness goals and gain a better understanding of your body, you need to use the AmazfitFalcon, which uses the BioTracker 3.0 PPG sensor.
The AmazfitFalcon can track over 150 different workouts and has a new built-in coach called the Zepp Coach. The Zepp Coach is supposed to help create training plans and provide insight into workouts by helping users enter their goals along with other basic health info from the app.
The coach was helpful in my testing. Insight into workouts and training plans is provided by it. I can see how it could be beneficial for people who don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to come up with their own fitness plans. Detailed info on everything from blood oxygen levels to sleep and workout analysis can be found in the Zepp app.
The battery life is one of the features that I like the most when using Amzfit watches. The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra is the only one that can provide multi-day battery life. The Falcon is charged for 14 days of normal usage and seven days of heavy usage. That is about right for my testing. The T-Rex 2 is rated for 24 days of normal use, but the watch gets less use than that.
The charging method is one of the changes brought by the falcon. There is a proprietary cable that plugs into the watch. I've tested all of the Amazfit watches and they all use a magnetic cradle-type connection for charging. I prefer Falcon's approach because it doesn't come loose as the magnetic style would.
Who is the AmazfitFalcon for? I wouldn't say everybody. The watch is capable of being used on a daily basis. The Wearable is an excellent health and fitness companion due to it's accurateGPS, a lot of health data, and extremeDurability.
If the price is an issue, almost all of the Falcon's features can be found on the T-Rex 2. It's difficult to deny the premium look and feel of the titanium. If you're looking for a watch that is durable, looks fantastic, and can help you on your health and fitness journey, then the Amazfit Falcon is the one for you.
