Loving this watch so far!
Feb 18, 2020
Got my T-REX via Amazon (pre-order) yesterday. I've had a G shock for daily wear and looking forward to testing the durability of the T-REX. It's not as heavy as the G shock.
Instructions kind of rely on your previous technical experience. No other instructions than some basic phone-to-watch pairing. My experience was:
unboxed
tried on my wrist (very much like the strap is soft silicone with a tab inside the band holder to keep the extra from coming out)
connected charger (magnet is good, but not very strong)
9:55am
BT pairing
GPS update
resource library update
firmware update
syncing
10:01am
Charged to 100% before wearing it.
So far I have turned on auto heart rate and sleep detection, alerts for all apps I use, turned off always on display. I have been changing the watch faces and playing with the settings. I am at 89% battery since yesterday morning. Not sure if the battery life will improve as I get used to and aren't playing with it constantly. I want to take it on a hike soon to test out the 'workout' functions. I didn't get it as an apple watch alternative. So, I'm not expecting it to be as smooth as an IOS device. For what I want, I think the T-REX with work.
Feb 28, 2020 UPDATE: 10 days of heavy use, max brightness during the day, continuous heart and sleep tracking, notifications for most apps, use of alarms... this morning my battery was down to 10%.
SO, I got 10 days without a recharge. The cool thing I like was that the watch was fully charged in about 40 minutes.
