Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro Delivers 3,173-Nit Display at €449, but Lacks Standout Upgrades

3 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Jul 3

Summary

  • Notebookcheck found the €449 Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro to be a strong premium sports watch with bright AMOLED output, robust titanium-and-sapphire construction and broad training and navigation tools, but no major innovation.
  • Its 1.32-inch screen reached 3,173 cd/m², while onboard maps, dual-band GNSS and turn-by-turn navigation worked reliably; battery life lasted six days in heavy always-on use with GPS workouts.
  • Health tracking was mixed: resting heart rate was close to a Polar H10, but average workout heart rate ran noticeably lower, limiting appeal for athletes who train by precise heart-rate zones.
  • The watch also supports calls, message replies, Zepp Flow voice commands and third-party syncing with Strava, Apple Health and Google Fit, though major apps such as Spotify are still missing.
  • Compared with cheaper Amazfit options, the review said the Cheetah 2 Pro may struggle inside Amazfit's own lineup because premium materials and design changes do not add features such as ECG.
