Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar vs Garmin Instinct 3: Six Big Differences
The smartwatch uses two solar surfaces and offers up to 25 days of typical battery life, Amazfit said.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Amazfit launched the T-Rex Dual Solar, a premium expedition smartwatch priced at $649.99 featuring the world's first AMOLED display with dual-sided solar charging.
- Sara Webster Wylie, VP of Global Marketing at Amazfit, stated the company wanted users to "choose between the bright, premium display they want every day and the battery endurance they need outdoors" by combining front and rear solar panels.
- The 69-gram T-Rex Dual Solar features a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen reaching 3,000 nits brightness, contrasting sharply with the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar's monochrome transflective display and prioritizing visual quality over extreme battery optimization.
- Amazfit athlete and alpinist Jost Kobusch noted solar charging provides a "genuine backup" when far from civilization, allowing users to revive a depleted watch using sunlight to restore access to essential navigation functions.
- Available on Amazfit.com and Amazon starting today, the T-Rex Dual Solar targets active users requiring multi-day battery life, positioning Amazfit in the competitive high-end expedition smartwatch market.
