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

Product Information

The radio waves generated by the equipment may affect the normal operation of implanted medical equipment or personal medical equipment, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. If you use these devices, please consult their manufacturers for restrictions on using this device. The good news is that there is a solution to improve that accuracy thanks to the support to pair external heart rate monitors. The Amazfit Cheetah comes in two versions - round and square. We only have details about the former, called Amazfit Cheetah (Round), so let's focus on that. Interestingly, both watches still gave me the same 72- and 31-hour recovery time estimates at the end of my two runs (respectively), which makes me optimistic that Zepp Coach won't ever advise runners to push themselves before they're ready. And it recommends specific types of workouts — like hitting high heart rate zones for a certain number of minutes — to improve in different areas of fitness.

There are three buttons, two on either side of the crown, which you can use to navigate menus. I found the navigation system a tad confusing, with the digital crown used to progress through menus, while on the Apple Watch, it’s the home button. That took a lot of getting used to. Battery Saver Mode: Limited functions are available; health monitoring functions such as heart rate, blood-oxygen and stress monitoring are turned off, and only basic sleep monitoring is enabled; Bluetooth connection is limited to BLE, raising the wrist to light up the screen is turned off. Live Sports Data Broadcast supports English and Chinese voice broadcasts, and requires a connection to Bluetooth headphones. hour monitoring of heart rate and blood-oxygen saturation (SpO₂) need to be enabled in the Zepp App. For heart rate monitoring, the user must enable Auto Heart Rate Monitor in the Zepp App, and the minimum value can be set to 1 minute. Abnormal heart rate alerts and the preset value need to be set in the Zepp App. To measure blood-oxygen saturation (SpO₂), please wear the watch tightly at one finger-width from the wrist, and keep your arm still for best results. SpO₂ alerts are sent if the detected rate is too low compared to the preset value, which needs to be set in the Zepp App, at a minimum of 80%. Movement, and environmental and physical characteristics can affect speed and accuracy of monitoring and measurement. The 24-hour stress level monitoring needs to be enabled on the watch or in the Zepp App. Alerts for high stress levels are based on the preset value, and prompts for the breathing exercise need to be enabled on the watch. To process the one-tap measurement and other manual metric measurements, please wear the watch tightly at one finger-width from the wrist, and keep your arm still for best results. Movement, and environmental and physical characteristics can affect speed and accuracy of monitoring and measurement. You’re getting a 47mm polymer case with a pretty showy titanium alloy bezel on top, surrounding a nice-sized and good quality 1.45-inch, 480 x 480 AMOLED touchscreen display.The Amazfit Cheetah (Round) is advertised as "a practical watch for aspiring athletes who want to train more efficiently" and shares most of the specs and features with the Pro model, with the most notable difference in the screen size and design department. 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. There’s a built-in music player but you have to upload music via the phone app and then use the built-in speaker or pair up Bluetooth headphones to listen to audio. That speaker is joined by a microphone to let you handle calls over Bluetooth and record voice memos.

There’s another AI feature here called Aura, which is another subscription service that offers relaxation, medication, and sleep sounds. It also uses your real-time heart rate to use AI to adapt the soundscapes to your level of relaxation and see you off to sleep.We’d say that with regular use of features like GPS and all of the advanced health monitoring features on offer, the Pro is good for a week with the capacity to go longer. It’s reminiscent of the level of battery performance you get from something like the Huawei Watch GT Runner. The experience wasn’t amazing – but we didn’t commit to the coaching. The coach started by asking us to complete a 14-minute workout at 140bpm. I’m a runner with two kids, if I’m going out, I’m having a proper run. So suggesting that kind of workout just makes me likely to ignore the session altogether.

Power Saving GPS Mode: Turn on heart rate monitoring and GPS exercise (single frequency, GPS low power consumption). Personally, I look like Futurama's Fry narrowing his eyes in suspicion any time a company tries to incorporate "AI" into their workflow. But the concept really isn't that different from the Garmin algorithm that goes into calculating your VO2 Max and other data, based on your GPS and heart rate data. The question is, can you trust Zepp Coach as much as more well-known brands?It’s got a good-sized screen, a comfortable (and removable) nylon strap, and physical buttons, and it’s waterproof up to 50 meters, so you can take it for a swim and jump in the shower with it. Ultimately, there’s something very likable about the Cheetah Pro. It’s good to see Amazfit hasn’t entirely tried to copy what the competition is doing and the result is a watch that looks good, feels comfortable to wear for long periods and doesn’t feel like you’re getting short-changed overall in the design department. Battery life We also found both the touchscreen and the buttons (which include a rotating bevel, oddly similar to much of the Coros line) to be slightly inconsistent—functioning most of the time, but not always. And after only a few ocean swims (with the recommended fresh water flushing), we had some rough play in the rotating bevel, though it still worked.
