Amazfit already has ambitious runners in mind with the Cheetah series – now a significantly upgraded model follows. The Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro comes with a titanium case, a particularly long battery life and new training functions. The watch clearly positions itself in the premium segment for sports smartwatches and competes against established models from manufacturers such as Garmin. In addition to the robust design, the focus is on precise GPS, extensive fitness analysis and optimized software.
Highlights
- New premium smartwatch with titanium case and robust design
- Battery life of up to 20 days in typical usage mode
- Advanced running and training analysis for ambitious athletes
- High-precision GPS and AMOLED display for outdoor training
Premium design with titanium and AMOLED display
With the Cheetah 2 Pro, Amazfit is pursuing a much higher-quality design than many of the brand’s previous sports watches. The case is made of titanium, making the smartwatch particularly robust and relatively light at the same time. The design is complemented by a sapphire glass display, which is said to be scratch-resistant and therefore suitable for intensive outdoor use.
The 1.45-inch AMOLED display offers a high resolution and vibrant colors.
This means that training data, maps and notifications remain easy to read even in direct sunlight. The device can be operated both via the touchscreen and physical buttons, which can be an advantage when running or in the rain. Another focus is on the battery life. According to the manufacturer, the watch lasts up to 20 days in normal smartwatch mode. Even with intensive use and activated GPS, the battery should last for several days.
For athletes who regularly complete longer training sessions or competitions, this is a decisive advantage over many classic smartwatches with significantly shorter battery life. Connectivity has also been expanded. The watch supports Bluetooth for headphones and smartphone connections, allowing music to be played directly via the watch. Training data can also be automatically synchronized with the Zepp app.
New training functions and precise GPS
Support for runners and endurance athletes remains a central component of the Cheetah series. The new generation relies on a particularly precise satellite system with dual-band GPS that can use several satellite networks simultaneously. As a result, route measurements should be more accurate even in difficult environments such as cities or forests.
In addition to pure route recording, the smartwatch provides extensive training analyses. These include, among other things:
- VO₂max calculation
- Recovery time analysis
- Training load and performance forecasts
- Automatic route suggestions for runs
Amazfit also integrates various map and navigation functions. Routes can be displayed directly on the watch, which is particularly helpful for trail runs or longer outdoor training sessions. In combination with the Zepp software, training plans can be created and progress evaluated over the long term.
Health functions are also part of the overall package. Among other things, the watch measures heart rate, sleep quality, stress levels and blood oxygen levels. This data is incorporated into an overall picture of physical stress and can help to better balance training and regeneration.
Conclusion
With the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro, the manufacturer is expanding its portfolio with a significantly higher-quality running smartwatch. A titanium case, precise GPS and a battery life of up to 20 days make this model particularly interesting for ambitious athletes. At the same time, the watch offers numerous analysis and training functions that are otherwise often only found in significantly more expensive competitor products. The smartwatch is already available and is positioned in the upper price range of Amazfit models, but remains below many premium sports watches from established brands.
