Unboxing the Amazfit TREX 2
To start off, we turn on the smartwatch by pressing the select button located at the top right corner. Once the Amazfit TREX 2 is powered on, the screen displays the Amazfit logo and prompts us to choose the language we want to use for operating the smartwatch. With over 30 languages available, one of them being Bahasa Indonesia, we select our preferred language and press select. This brings up a barcode on the screen, which we are instructed to scan to establish a connection between the smartwatch and our device. Before scanning the barcode, we need to install an application called Zap Zepp. Android users can find it on the Play Store, while iOS users can download it from the App Store. According to the information provided, the Amazfit TREX 2 is compatible with Android 7.0 and iOS 12.0.

We then proceed to scan the displayed barcode on the Amazfit TREX 2 screen by aligning our device’s camera with it. Once the pairing process is complete, the screen on both the smartwatch and our device will show a confirmation.
