Let's talk about the Amazfit Cheetah Pro first. It's advertised as "a premium watch for elite runners who want to optimize their performance" and packs a 1.45" Always-On AMOLED display of 480x480-pixel resolution. It's protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and has a 1,000 nits peak brightness to ensure the on-screen information is readable under bright sunlight. The display also supports 100+ watch faces. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro's bezel is made of Titanium alloy for a premium and professional look, while the middle frame is made of fiber-reinforced polymer to keep the watch lightweight. The Cheetah Pro uses a sweat-wicking nylon strap that's 22mm wide and has an adjustable length of 150-220mm.
The Cheetah Pro features a responsive
button and a convenient crown on its right side, making it easier for the user
to control the watch, even during an intense run. And since the Cheetah Pro is
aimed at runners, it comes with an AI-powered Zepp Coach to provide
personalized running plans tailored to the user's goals, which will adjust
week-to-week based on the user's performance and condition. It can also provide
scientific guidance to the users to help them understand their progress.
In some countries, the Zepp Coach will
come with an AI Chat chatbot for a short demo before it becomes a
subscription-based service. It uses generative AI and applied large language
model (LLM) to recognize the user's natural language descriptions via voice or
typed commands to deliver easy-to-understand answers to their sports-related
questions. Amazfit says, "It's just like being in a one-on-one coaching
session with a real human personal trainer." Other features aimed at
runners include Virtual Pacer, Race Achievement Prediction, and Track Run Mode.
Virtual Pacer lets you set an AI pace target, and once you have a few runs
under your belt, you can use Race Achievement Prediction to see how you'd
perform on the race day.
Track Run Mode, on the other hand,
provides time, distance, and pace data for every lap, and if needed, the
Cheetah Pro's algorithm can correct your trajectory and distance to ensure your
performance data in the Zepp App matches your selected lane.
Amazfit is also advertising its MaxTrack
GPS technology for runners. It uses a dual-band GPS (L1 and L5) antenna to pick
up almost 100% of satellite signals and reduces multi-path interference caused
by tall buildings and trees to provide more accurate positioning. The Cheetah
Pro also supports six satellite positioning systems for reliable coverage.
Cheetah Pro's users can utilize this GPS technology by importing a route file
from the Zepp App and color Offline Map of their planned activity area for
precise navigation during a run.
The Amazfit Cheetah Pro also comes with
the usual slew of health and fitness features, including sleep tracking, stress
monitoring, blood-oxygen level monitoring, and heart rate tracking. The
smartwatch can be connected with heart rate belts through Bluetooth for even
more accurate heart rate tracking. It also supports 150+ indoor and outdoor
sports modes and can detect 25 strength exercises automatically. The rest of
the Amazfit Cheetah Pro's highlights include offline music playback, Amazon
Alexa, offline voice assistant, and support for Bluetooth phone calls. The
smartwatch features a microphone and a speaker, runs Zepp OS 2.0 with support
for 100+ apps, and supports WLAN 2.4GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
The Amazfit Cheetah Pro packs a 440 mAh
battery advertised to take two hours for a full charge. It can last up to 14
days in a typical usage scenario and up to 7 days with heavy usage. The Cheetah
Pro has 5 ATM water resistance and weighs 43g with the strap (34g without it).
