Huawei Watch Ultimate vs Amazfit T-Rex Ultra: Which Smartwatch Is Better?

Today we will be comparing two new flagship smartwatches from Huawei and Amazfit. They both have a rugged design, and they are good for outdoor activities.

However, Huawei Watch Ultimate is also available in a business version with a titanium strap.

OK, let’s compare the main features of Amazfit T-Rex Ultra and Huawei Watch Ultimate in this article.

Let’s start with the prices, because this is probably the most important thing when choosing a smartwatch or any other device.

Prices

You know, Amazfit T-Rex Ultra and Huawei Watch Ultimate are flagship smartwatches, but the Huawei watch is almost two times more expensive than the Amazfit one.

You can buy Amazfit T-Rex Ultra on Aliexpress for $430.

The new Huawei Watch Ultimate has only been released in China, and its price is 5999 yuan. This is about 870 US dollars.

So, the Amazfit smartwatch is much cheaper, but it is worse? Let’s try to find out.

Models

You should also know that Amazfit T-Rex Ultra is available in Abbyss Black and Sahara colors. Both versions have a silicone strap.

When it comes to Huawei Watch Ultimate, you can choose from Voyage Blue and Expedition Black Versions. The difference between them is not only in color, but also in the strap material.

The Voyage Blue version has a titanium strap, and I think it looks like a business model.

The Expedition Black version has a silicone strap. As you understand from the name, this model is better for outdoor activities. However, the functions of both versions of the Huawei smartwatch are the same.

Design

Talking about design, first, I want to compare the size and weight of the new Huawei and Amazfit smartwatches.

You know, I am surprised that Amazfit T-Rex Ultra is heavier than Huawei Watch Ultimate – 89 and 76 grams, respectively.

However, the Huawei watch is a little bigger – 48.5 x 48.5 x 13 mm.

The dimensions of Amazfit smartwatch are 47.3 x 47.3 x 13.45 mm.

In addition, Huawei Watch Ultimate uses more premium materials, such as nanocrystalline ceramic bezel and rear case, zirconium-based liquid metal front case, and sapphire glass on the watch dial.

The bezel, back panel, bridge, and buttons of Amazfit T-Rex Ultra are made of stainless steel. I didn’t find information about screen protection of the Amazfit watch, but I think it should be, because this is a rugged smartwatch.

If we walk about rugged features, the new Huawei and Amazfit smartwatches have the same 10 ATM water resistance standard. You can dive to a depth of up to 100 meters.

The smartwatches also have ultra-low and high temperature operation.

It seems the Huawei and Amazfit watches are equally good for the outdoors.

Display

However, Huawei Watch Ultimate has a bigger screen diagonal of 1.5 inches.

The display of Amazfit T-Rex Ultra has 1.39-inch size.

They both use high quality AMOLED panels.

However, the Chinese company says that the Amazfit smartwatch has a peak screen brightness of 1000 nit.

Huawei does not report the brightness of the display, but most likely it is lower.

You know, the screen brightness is very important for outdoor smartwatch, and it looks like the Amazfit T-Rex Ultra is better in this respect.

Functions

Talking about functions, Huawei Watch Ultimate and Amazfit T-Rex Ultra have many health measurement sensors, such as heart rate, spO2, stress, sleep, etc.

However, I didn’t find a Bluetooth Phone Calling function to answer the phone calls on Amazfit T-Rex Ultra. The Huawei smartwatch has it.

You can also install third-party apps on Huawei Watch Ultimate through the Watch App Gallery.

Amazfit T-Rex Ultra also has a rich app ecosystem, and you can download different mini apps, for example, the app to connect GoPro action camera to the smartwatch.

You know, the new Amazfit watch has a dual-GPS support, while the Huawei smartwatch has a single GPS. I cannot tell yet if the dual GPS really works better.

However, both smartwatches have offline maps.

Battery

The battery of Amazfit T-Rex Ultra has a capacity of 500mAh. The manufacturer promises up to 20 days of battery life in a typical usage scenario.

There is no information about battery capacity of Huawei Watch Ultimate, but the battery life with typical use is about 14 days.

Overall, the battery life is highly dependent on usage, especially GPS.

Conclusion

As you can see, Huawei Watch Ultimate and Amazfit T-Rex Ultra are both good for outdoors, because they have rugged design, water resistance standard, different health measurement sensors and sports modes.

However, Huawei Watch Ultimate has some advantages, such as more premium materials, bigger screen, Bluetooth Phone calling, wireless charging support, and even two versions to choose from.

But the Huawei smartwatch is also two times more expensive than Amazfit T-Rex Ultra, and I think this will play the most important role when choosing between these watches.
