Zepp Health appears to be prepping a successor to its toughest outdoor watch
The Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 has been spotted in the latest Zepp Health app update code, all but confirming that a new flagship outdoor watch is on the way.
References to the unannounced device were found in version 9.16.2 of the app. And while Amazfit has not officially acknowledged the device, the moniker suggests this will be a direct successor to the 2023 T-Rex Ultra, the brand’s most premium adventure watch to date.
The original T-Rex Ultra was a significant step up for Amazfit, introducing stainless steel components, 30-meter freediving support, and dual-band GPS.
For the Ultra 2, it’s likely Amazfit will double down on its outdoor credentials. Upgrades may include improved offline mapping—a key area where Garmin still leads—and potentially better battery efficiency in extreme temperatures. However, at this stage, nothing concrete is known about the potential update—no leaked details, price info, or release date.
Still, a launch in early 2026 would align with the brand’s typical refresh cycle for its multisport watches. After all, 2025 was a bumper year for new devices, but they were all tied to outdated lines, such as the Bip, Active, Balance, and standard T-Rex. So that leaves the Ultra as a prime candidate for an update—and this first hint suggests it could arrive sooner than later.
The Wareable view
The outdoor watch market is a pretty brutal place to operate right now. Yet, despite the Apple Watch Ultra 3 dominating the high-end smartwatch space and Garmin locking down the serious athletes, brands like Amazfit and Coros have carved out a niche by offering most of the same features for a fraction of the price.

The T-Rex Ultra 2 needs to maintain that proposition—and we expect it to offer a healthy upgrade over the T-Rex 3 Pro that arrived in 2025.
If the brand can deliver advanced health features, or at least more advanced recovery metrics, into a premium-feeling chassis for under $500, it will be a compelling alternative for weekend warriors who can’t justify the outlay of a Garmin Fenix.
