Our quick verdict

The Apple Watch Series 12 42mm runs watchOS built around the iPhone, takes ECG heart-rhythm readings, gives daily readiness scores and is lighter to wear all day, though it works only with an iPhone, while the Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro lasts much longer between charges (25 days vs 24 hours), works with Android phones and iPhones and has a brighter screen for outdoor use.
