Why We Love This Deal
Smartwatches have changed the game for health tracking and outdoor use, but entry-level GPS watches can still be pricey, and often underdeliver in the feature department. That’s not the case with Amazfit, especially since it was founded by the company that also makes Xiaomi products (a brand known for its affordable yet still spec'd-out smartphone/device alternatives). Doubling down on the already budget-friendly price, Amazfit’s T-Rex 2 GPS smartwatch is down to $165 right now.
The Amazfit T-Rex 2 Smartwatch typically costs $200, but this Walmart sale brings the price down to $165. While the discount itself isn’t huge, $165 for a full-feature, touchscreen (and AMOLED) outdoor smartwatch is a solid deal, especially when you compare it to pricier options from Garmin.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Display and Build: 1.39-inch touchscreen HD AMOLED display, 10 ATM water resistance
- Battery Life: Up to 24 days
- Navigation: Dual-band GPS, built-in compass, barometric altimeter, weather tracker, route navigation
- Health Tracking: Heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, fitness
- Best For: Outdoor adventures, hikers, climbers, athletes
This smartwatch is packed with the usual features you’d expect from a pricier pick, starting with a bright AMOLED touchscreen display, 10-ATM water resistance, and military-grade durability tested in extreme conditions. Essential navigation features like dual-band GPS and route tracking are here, and heart rate, sleep, and blood oxygen monitoring cover your health-tracking needs. Packed with over 150 sport modes and up to 24 days of battery life, this watch is incredibly capable for a sub-$200 pick, and you won’t be left wondering where important features are.
The most obvious comparison here is with Garmin’s entry-level watches, like the Instinct 2 or Forerunner 55. Garmin’s budget models often cost over $200 (even on sale), and the GPS watches typically don’t have a touchscreen until you get to the Venu 4, which retails for $550.
The T-Rex 2, however, stays below that $200 price tag and comes with an AMOLED touchscreen and pretty much every other important feature.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One very insightful review explained the durability at length, noting that his watch had endured blistering heat, freezing cold, and being smashed on the ground, and that it “still looks nearly new and operates flawlessly.” A second said it has “killer battery life,” and is truly a “full-feature watch,” even at this price point.
The price is especially attractive when you compare it to other outdoor smartwatches: “I was originally looking at Garmin, but this eclipsed the Garmin available at this price point.” Battery life was a big highlight, with one shopper writing, “I can travel for up to almost three weeks and don't have to bring the watch's charger.”
The Amazfit T-Rex 2 Smartwatch is available now for $165, and it’s a true budget-friendly option that makes very few compromises. There’s no telling how long the deal will be around, so now’s the time to pick one up before it’s back to full price.
