Amazfit Cheetah Smart Watch with Dual-Band GPS, Route Navigation & Offline Maps, Training Template, Heart Rate Monitor, Alexa-Built In

Product Information

When calibrated correctly it can be used to determine altitude, which helps GPS devices to lock on quicker and with greater accuracy. Unless you need any of the few missing performance metrics, it’s a good assumption the newer the watch, the longer it’s going to be supported and get updates. After all, it’s got a brilliant display, reasonably good battery life, plenty of sport modes, and mostly good heart rate accuracy.

I guess the low level of responses suggests there won’t be anymore Amazfit reviews coming anytime soon.There are two smart assistants on board here with an offline one that gives you hands-free control of key watch settings. Amazfit relies on its own Zepp OS to run the software show on the Cheetah Pro and we’re up to version 2. In addition, the watch can connect to a wide range of third-party fitness apps such as Adidas Running, Strava, Komoot, and more. But inversely, the recently added navigation to the COROS Pace 2 is better than here, because loading routes onto the Amazfit Cheetah Pro is a cumbersome and messy process (as they don’t support routing platforms like Strava Routes or Komoot Routes).

For example, from a navigation standpoint, the mapping feature is done better here than on the COROS Pace 2, simply because there is no mapping on the COROS Pace 2. Like all fabric straps, it retains water, so post-shower you need to be careful of where you place your wrist, or else you get a damp spot on your shorts/pants/crotch/wherever. With Amazfit’s watches in general, battery life has been a positive and that doesn’t change with the Cheetah Pro. Still, this watch battery is more than good enough to trust for an all-day race, and that's what counts. This means you won't have to worry about charging the watch frequently, which is especially useful for those who train regularly.In my case, I ran with a route last night around Frankfurt, and getting it onto the watch is kinda messy because you need to transfer the . Here’s a map-less shot from my run last night (because I couldn’t get the maps to download), and while the route line is visible, it’s not as crispy as the other pages. The Pro's Closet has been a long-time partner of the site here - including sponsoring videos like my cargo bike race, as well as just being an awesome Colorado-based company full of good humans.

Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. If you care about continuously monitoring heart rate for more general well-being insights, the Cheetah Pro is much better equipped to do that. Yes, there are elements that are similar, like materials used, but it does feel like an attractive running watch in a mostly unique way.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. That makes it pretty consistent; I wonder if it has to do with the nylon strap, which lets you wear it a little looser than you usually get with a silicone strap.

You’ll need a WiFi access point to download the maps (like most watches), and it’ll go off and download them…in theory. The Cheetah Pro can perform as a smartwatch and has the kind of things you’d expect to find on a smartwatch. Previously the resident wearable tech expert at Trusted Reviews, he also marshaled the features section of T3. Off the watch you’ve got to deal with Zepp’s companion app, which I would describe as busy, especially now with some of the new software features that have been added to it.But it's also not nearly as bad as a GPS-only watch like the Galaxy Watch 6, and it followed along fairly closely with my Forerunner 965 map with some occasional deviations. Generally though, I found the dual-band performance to be very good with some wavering moments that doesn’t quite put it up there with the best dual-band setups. And it's not quite cheap enough to make it an automatic budget pick, and look past the shortcomings. It has the ability to create custom structured workouts but not add them to a calendar for scheduling. Hmm, not sure what you mean – I covered the two ‘new’ things in that piece, and that it comes to the normal Ignite 3.
