January 2025:Amazfit T-Rex 3 Update Brings HYROX PFT and Map POI Enhancements

In the 8th OTA push of this month, we've brought numerous feature updates and optimizations, including these highlights:

New HYROX PFT Sports Mode

The HYROX PFT (Physical Fitness Test) is a standardized fitness assessment designed for individuals interested in HYROX competitions. This simplified version of HYROX incorporates core movements from official competitions while offering shorter distances and modified intensity levels. Typically conducted in gyms or training facilities, the PFT format makes HYROX training more accessible to both beginners and fitness enthusiasts.

The T-Rex 3 stands as the world's first sports watch to feature HYROX competition mode. As a global official partner of HYROX, Amazfit looks forward to providing users with enhanced insights and experiences during HYROX events.

Map Function Enhancement

With this update, users can now view POI (Point of Interest) information directly on their watch. This feature provides richer, more detailed map information during route navigation (Note: POI data must be added through the Zepp App). The enhanced navigation system also now recognizes left and right turns during route guidance.

Additionally, we have implemented various optimizations to improve data detection accuracy.
