Amazfit has launched its newest high-performance smartwatches in India: the Cheetah 2 Pro and the Cheetah 2 Ultra. While the Cheetah 2 Pro is tailored specifically for road marathoners and structured hybrid training, the Cheetah 2 Ultra serves as a specialized instrument designed for the distinct demands of ultra-distance and trail running.
Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro: Built for Marathon Preparation
The Cheetah 2 Pro centers on a comprehensive training philosophy that integrates endurance, strength support, and recovery tracking. Aimed at runners preparing for long-distance events like the Boston and London Marathons, the device focuses on the consistency required during high-mileage training blocks.
Design and Build
- Materials: Features a Grade 5 titanium bottom case and middle frame combined with a scratch-resistant sapphire glass lens to ensure durability without excessive mass.
- Display: Equipped with a bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display for clear readability across shifting daylight conditions.
- Visibility: Includes a built-in dual-mode flashlight with adjustable brightness settings for early morning or night runs.
Training and Recovery Architecture
The smartwatch offers structured running workouts targeting aerobic base building, threshold efficiency, and strength-focused resilience. Through Zepp Coach, users receive adaptive, personalized training plans ranging from 3K distances to full marathons. The ecosystem also supports integration with popular third-party platforms, including TrainingPeaks, Runna, Strava, and Intervals.icu.
To guide training decisions, the Cheetah 2 Pro tracks advanced performance metrics such as:
- Pacing, running power, and lactate threshold
- Gait tracking and finish time predictions
- Physiological insights via the Zepp app, including HRV, VO2 max, sleep quality, fatigue levels, and overall training status
GPS and Battery Performance
The device utilizes an advanced dual-band, multi-satellite GPS system to maintain accurate tracking on complex routes. On the battery front, the Cheetah 2 Pro delivers up to 29 hours of continuous GPS tracking, meeting standard marathon cutoff requirements. In standard daily usage, the battery extends up to 17 days.

The watch stores full-color topographic and contour maps locally, allowing runners to create point-to-point routes, search for nearby points of interest, and utilize automatic rerouting entirely offline. An upgraded Trail Running Mode introduces a color-coded slope difficulty overview alongside specific load factor calculations that factor in gradient, vertical gain, and terrain resistance to accurately measure mountain effort.
Hybrid Training Ecosystem and Analytics
The Cheetah 2 Ultra utilizes the Hybrid Training system within the Zepp app to monitor volume and fatigue distribution. Key features include:
- BioCharge™ Energy Monitoring: Translates overnight recovery data into a daily readiness signal.
- Biomechanical Tracking: Monitors ground contact time and posture alongside metrics like lactate threshold and running power.
- Storage: Equipped with 64GB of onboard storage to accommodate extensive mapping data and over 100 hours of audio podcasts.
Power Management
In dedicated Trail Running Mode—with the always-on display, continuous heart rate monitoring, dual-frequency GPS, and active map navigation fully enabled—the Ultra offers up to 33 hours of battery life. Under typical daily usage conditions outside of heavy trail training, the battery life extends up to 30 days.
