It looks like Amazfit is primed and ready to launch a successor to last year's Amazfit T-Rex – a tough sports watch designed to tackle the great outdoors.
Eagle-eyed reporters at Gadgets & Wearables have spotted a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification for a device called the Amazfit T-Rex Pro. It looks like the device was originally known as the T-Rex 2, but was renamed in December last year.

Most of the information in the listing is confidential, but a label sample suggests that it will keep the same round face as the original T-Rex, and will have on-board GPS, automatic workout detection and music playback.
Assuming it follows the same rugged design as its predecessor, it could be a more affordable rival to the likes of the tough Polar Grit X and Garmin Instinct – particularly if it's capable of mapping, which was one feature sorely missing from the first T-Rex
Far from extinct
It's been a busy few months for Amazfit, with the reveal of the GTS 2e and GTR 2e budget smartwatches at CES 2021 earlier in January, the unveiling of the GTS 2 Mini and Pop Pro in December, and the launch of the GTR 2 and GTS 2 in October – and the company shows no signs of slowing down.
We'll keep you updated as soon as we know more about the new T-Rex, and will bring you a full review as soon as possible.
