Prime Members Can Score an Exclusive Record-Low Price on Amazfit's T-Rex 3 Outdoor Smartwatch
Smartwatches have become an integral part of a lot of our lives. Whether you're on a fitness journey or want to keep a closer eye on your health, they can be a very helpful tool. Just about all smartwatches can track your activity level, sleep patterns, heart rate and much more. But picking one can be tricky. A great option is the Amazfit T-Rex 3 Military smartwatch, but I wouldn't consider it cheap. Thankfully, Amazon Prime members can score this smartwatch for a record-low price of $190. This is $10 less than the previous record low of $200. But again, you must be a Prime member to score this deal. If you'd rather buy one from Walmart or you're not a Prime member, it's on sale there too. However, it's only down to $200, which is $10 more than it is at Amazon. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 Military smartwatch has a lenghty 700mAh battery, lasting for over three weeks of power on a single charge with regular use and an impressive 13 days with heavy use. This is considerably longer than its competitors. The military-grade rating means it can handle 10ATM being up to 328 feet underwater. This watch can track also track over 150 different activities, both in and out of the water. And don't worry if you're training outside, the 1.5-inch AMOLED screen with 2,000 nits of brightness is visible no matter how sunny it is outside. The built-in Zepp assistant gives you full voice control. The Zepp assistant can also give you advice on your workouts. For example, if you're preparing for a marathon, you can tell the watch and it will help build you a personalized workout plan. You can also tell it you want to work on certain body parts like abdominals or biceps. It's almost like having a built-in personal trainer. Smartwatches don't come cheap. If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, take a look our our favorite budget smartwatches of 2025. Why this deal matters Prime members have a chance to score an exclusive discount on this Amazfit T-Rex 3 Outdoor smartwatch. Previously, we saw this watch come down to $200 a few times, an $80 savings with this most recent time being this past Prime Day sale in July. But this is the first time we've seen it go under $200. If you're a Prime member, don't miss your chance to grab it at a record-low price. If you're not a Prime member, you can score one at Walmart for $200.

I Tried This $40 Smartwatch: It Was Meh, but Not a Complete Waste of Time
I wasn't expecting much when I first strapped the WITHit Giga Smartwatch onto my wrist, and at least it delivered on that. This $40 smartwatch does the basics: shows notifications, counts your steps, tracks your heart rate (sort of) and lets you take calls from your wrist. But the execution of all these features is where it all starts to fall apart, and I found myself getting exactly what I paid for. After spending a week testing it, I came away with this: If you just want a basic smartwatch that works with both Android and iPhone, tells the time, tracks your steps and surfaces notifications, this will get the job done, just don't expect accuracy. But if you can stretch your budget even a little, something like the $75 Amazfit Bip 6 offers more accurate tracking, a more refined design and more reliable performance. The $40 WITHit Giga looks like an Apple Watch Ultra knock-off. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Design and UI: big, bulky, and basic The WITHit Giga is about as no-frills as smartwatches come. It looks like an Apple Watch Ultra impersonator: metallic frame around a rectangular screen, rounded edges and even Apple Watch-like icons inside. But that's where the similarities end. If your wrist is on the smaller side like mine (I have a 6-inch wrist), brace yourself because this is going to look huge. The Giga's 48.5mm case is overpowering, and there's no smaller size option. On my wrist, it felt bulky and out of place, and the thick, textured silicone bands definitely didn't help matters. The 2.04-inch AMOLED display is decent with a 386x448 resolution, but the screen brightness isn't adaptive. You'll need to manually adjust it, which means it's almost too bright at night and borderline unreadable in direct sunlight unless you increase the brightness manually. This watch runs its own proprietary system, syncs to the WITHit app and works with both Android and iOS. You'll get notifications, basic fitness tracking, an always-on display (which in my testing drained the battery fast) and a speaker/mic combo for answering calls. The UI is straightforward but lacks polish. Swiping right opens your favorites and the side button lets you quickly launch a workout. Animations feel slow and longer text scrolls in awkwardly to fit the screen. The non-adaptive screen on the WITHit Giga is nearly unreadable outdoors unless you manually crank it to full brightness. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Battery life: Not bad but there's a catch Battery life is one of the few things that holds up well here. I got about three days of use with the raise-to-wake option, and roughly a day and a half with the always on display enabled. That's not bad for the price, and it's actually better than even some flagship smartwatches. But the manual comes with a big red flag: "Avoid fast chargers" and don't overcharge. That's not something you want to see in 2025, especially because at this point in my smartwatch charger collection I don't know which one is fast, and which one is not, and the vague warning makes me think it's going to explode if I make the wrong choice. Charging from an empty battery to full takes about two hours with the included magnetic charger. But once I left it charging overnight and I approached it with terror the next morning thinking I'd broken the "don't overcharge" rule. Luckily, I came out unscathed. Health and fitness tracking: lower your expectations Workout tracking and wellness is where the cracks really show. Yes, the Giga technically tracks heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), sleep, stress and menstrual cycles. But the accuracy is questionable at best. During workouts, heart rate measurements were consistently off when compared to a chest strap and even other wrist-based trackers. The post workout HR average was close enough, but the metrics during the workout were noticeably off. For example, as I was sitting on my Pilates reformer (completely sedentary) starting a workout on the watch, the screen already read "100bpm", while the chest strap and Apple Watch had me at 65 bpm. This made me skeptical of even the resting heart rate readings. Sleep tracking only works between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., meaning night shift workers or anyone with an irregular schedule (like this late-night writer) is out of luck. Sleep stats are also confusing; instead of clear sleep stages or hours of sleep, you get odd comparisons like "fewer than 26% of people in your age group go to sleep this late." Not exactly sure what I should do with this information. Menstrual tracking is purely manual, based on averages, with no biological marker detection like temperature tracking. You can't even log a period directly from the watch and have to do it from the app. Other smartwatch features Calls: As long as your phone is within range, you can answer and make phone calls from the watch with its speaker and mic, but clarity is an issue. Texting: You can see texts from messaging apps, but you can't reply or even send a prewritten response (when paired to an iPhone). Voice Assistant: Technically available, but is basically just a shortcut to activate your own phone's assistant. You tap, and Siri or Google Assistant opens on your phone, not the watch. Not helpful. Quick settings: Save your recently used apps in quick settings, which actually made flipping between features like workouts and music controls more convenient — this is a win. Should you buy it? The WITHit Giga does the bare minimum you'd expect from a smartwatch, but at the expense of accuracy and attention to detail. For $40, it's a functional notification mirror with step tracking, call support and a splash of health features (if you're looking for a general overview at best). But if you can stretch your budget, something like the $80 Amazfit Bip 6 offers far better value, accurate health tracking, cleaner UI and better battery life. Bottom line: If you keep your expectations low, and you're just dipping your toes in the smartwatch waters for the first time, this might suffice. Otherwise, it's worth paying more for something that feels less like a toy and more like a tool.

It's made with a 316L stainless steel bezel to make sure it can hold out against all sorts of forces, including temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit, and as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit, although you're more likely to suffer if it gets that hot or cold. It's also water-resistant up to a depth of 147 feet if you're freediving, making it great for underwater training as well.
