If you have taken up running, the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro is a good smartwatch option for you. The device is built for marathon runners who are focused in preparation and training.
The Amazfit Cheetah Pro offers structured running, strength-supportive training, and recovery insights, designed to work together to help runners stay consistent through long marathon build-ups. It is launching conveniently in time for both the Boston and London marathons.
The idea behind the watch is to not only focus on tracking races but also on hybrid training, to help you build endurance, ad support the durability and consistency needed for long marathon build-ups.
With a Grade 5 titanium bottom case and middle frame with scratch-resistant sapphire glass, the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro comes with a 1.32-inch AMOLED display. It has built-in running workouts, along with aerobic workouts to build endurance, threshold sessions to improve efficiency, and strength-focused training to support durability. With Zepp Coach, runners receive intelligent, personalized training plans tailored to distances ranging from 3K to full marathon. For those seeking deeper control, the watch also integrates with advanced third-party platforms like TrainingPeaks, Runna, Strava and Intervals.icu.
Advanced running metrics including pacing, lactate threshold, running power, gait tracking, and finish time predictions help runners better understand how they move, measure progress over time, and train with greater intention. Within the Zepp app, recovery insights like heart rate, HRV, sleep, and fatigue advise how the body is responding to training load. Metrics including VO₂ max, fatigue level, and training status help runners make smarter decisions about when to push forward and when to prioritize recovery, supporting consistency across long training cycles.
Featuring advanced dual-band GPS with multi-satellite positioning, the Cheetah 2 Pro delivers precise pacing and reliable route tracking, says Amazfit, even when routes become more complex or focus begins to fade over long distances. Whether navigating city streets or winding courses, runners can rely on accurate location data to stay on pace and on course.
The Cheetah 2 Pro offers up to 29 hours of GPS battery life. For everyday use, the watch also delivers up to 17 days of battery life. The built-in dual-mode flashlight adds confidence during early morning and late evening runs, with adjustable brightness settings designed to improve visibility during outdoor workouts.
The Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro is available for US$450.
