Now, not everything is executed perfectly (or even well), but there are literally so many sports and everyday “lifestyle” features on this watch—with limited documentation and iffy on-watch navigation—it’s actually difficult to find or use them all. Read on for what actually works and what doesn’t. Section divider Amazfit Cheetah Pro Review: The Good The Zepp Coach is a lot like we’ve seen from Garmin and Huawei where you can build a plan for a particular distance or race you want to train for and after a few questions to shape that training will build you a plan you can sync and follow on the watch. performance prediction data. Predictions can be provided for the following race types: 3km race, two-mile race, three-mile race, 10km, half marathon, and full marathon. The first thing to note is that the Zepp Coach and Coach AI are not connected singing from the same sheet, so the AI has no idea what’s in your session. So if you ask it to design you a session it will a) be different to Zepp Coach and b) will ask you to confirm your fitness levels and personal goals all over again.

Power Saving GPS Mode: Turn on heart rate monitoring and GPS exercise (single frequency, GPS low power consumption). We do like relaxing sounds for sleep, but generally, any ambient music will do – and we didn’t find that Aura was much more effective than music for us. There’s also Alexa on the wrist. Despite being an Alexa household, I’ve never had cause to want to use it on a smartwatch – but it’s on board here if you like that kind of thing. However, we had issues getting Alexa to connect. Looking at the data in GPXVisualizer shows a mixed bag. On the one hand, semi-decent accuracy around a tree-lined part of a regular route that I’ve seen cause problems for running watches in the past. Although we might expect better given this is a dual-band offering. See below.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? Amazfit relies on its own Zepp OS to run the software show on the Cheetah Pro and we’re up to version 2.0 now.

So it’s an effective GPS running watch at this price point, but we didn’t see levels of accuracy overall that exceeded our expectations. It'll be interesting to see how Garmin responds to the Cheetah series since two of its rivals have launched wearables with generative AI on board. Perhaps the next Forerunner will have an OpenAI-powered chatbot. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro is Amazfit’s first attempt at making a watch for runners. Joining the Cheetah Round and Square, the Pro sits at the top of that trio, offering a bigger screen and nicer design materials. It’s a nice weight too, coming in at just 34g without the strap and 43g with it. The strap is a perfectly comfortable nylon one that, while isn’t the best in class nylon strap I’ve used, hasn’t caused any sort of irritation during runs and can also be easily removed.Accuracy GPS Mode: Turn on heart rate monitoring and GPS movement (dual-frequency, all satellites).
