Amazfit has released its priciest outdoor smartwatch yet, the T‑Rex Ultra 2, priced at $549 and $150 more expensive than the T-Rex 3 Pro. The rugged smartwatch is made with super-strong titanium and scratch-resistant sapphire glass, and it is certified to stringent U.S. military standards for shock, humidity and temperature resistance. It also features highly accurate dual-band GPS and a host of outdoor-focused features, such as offline maps, a microphone and a built-in flashlight. The Amazfit T-rex Ultra 2 is waterproof and suitable for dives up to 45 meters below the surface. It lasts up to 30 days on a single charge and is one of only a handful of smartwatches on the market that can be safely taken scuba diving.
