Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro: One minute review<\/span><\/h3>\n

Three years after the release of the Cheetah Pro smartwatch, Amazfit has finally released its successor, the aptly named Cheetah 2 Pro. Designed for serious road runners who rely on structured training programs, the smartwatch is a solid offering that competes impressively with the best running watches on the market today. It doesn’t hit the dizzying heights of Garmin’s high-end alternatives, but the Amazfit closes the gap. The Cheetah 2 Pro has a bigger sibling, the Cheetah 2 Ultra, which is a bit bigger, more expensive and comes with gradient trail profiles and terrain features that aren’t here.<\/p>\n

The high price of a watch with no routing features will put a lot of people off, especially considering that Amazfit is still an unknown brand to many and a budget brand to those in the know. On closer inspection, the cost is usually justified. The bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display is very sharp and covered with a sapphire crystal glass.<\/p>\n
