KUALA LUMPUR, 11 MAY 2026 – Amazfit, a leading global smart wearable brand owned by Zepp Health, today announced the Cheetah 2 Pro, the newest addition to its performance-focused Cheetah lineup. Built for marathon runners who believe preparation is everything, the Cheetah 2 Pro is designed around a simple belief: marathon performance is shaped by the work runners do throughout the training week.
It brings structured running, strength-supportive training, and recovery insights into one focused preparation system, helping runners stay consistent through long marathon build-ups.
Introducing Amazfit’s philosophy of refined performance and structural lightness, the Cheetah 2 Pro is engineered for runners who know speed is not only about
miles and splits, but also the strength, recovery, and discipline that support performance over time.
Rooted in a hybrid training philosophy, it helps runners build endurance alongside strength and recovery, supporting the durability and consistency needed for long marathon build-ups.
“Marathon training is about consistency, discipline, and being intentional with every part of your preparation. As I train for Boston, the Cheetah 2 Pro helps me stay locked in on the details that matter, from pacing to recovery, and it does it in a way that feels light, comfortable, and built for the demands of high-mileage training.” said Rory Linkletter, professional marathon runner and Amazfit athlete ambassador.
Refined Performance, Engineered Without Excess
Speed should come from intelligent architecture, not added mass. Through structural lightness, unnecessary material is reduced while rigidity and precision are maintained, creating a marathon training watch that feels precise without feeling heavy.
The Cheetah 2 Pro delivers advanced running performance in a streamlined design that feels fast, comfortable, and unobtrusive from daily training to race day.
Built for the demands of long training blocks and race day, the Cheetah 2 Pro pairs a Grade 5 titanium bottom case and middle frame with scratch-resistant sapphire glass to deliver durable, lightweight confidence without unnecessary bulk. A bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display keeps data clear and readable through early starts,
shifting daylight, and late miles.
Training Designed for the Long Build
The Cheetah 2 Pro supports runners at every level with built-in running workouts focused on the foundations that matter most over distance. Aerobic base work builds endurance, threshold sessions improve efficiency, and strength-focused training supports durability so runners can handle higher mileage with greater resilience.
“As an 800m runner, precision matters. The Cheetah 2 Pro helps me dial in my pace, track my training load, and understand when to push or recover. It keeps my sessions efficient and my performance sharp,” said Wan Muhammad Fazri Wan Zahari, Malaysian Middle-Distance Runner (800m) and Amazfit Ambassador.
With Zepp Coach, runners receive intelligent, personalized training plans tailored to distances ranging from 3K to full marathon, adapting based on performance and progress. For those seeking deeper control, the watch also integrates with advanced third-party platforms such as TrainingPeaks, Runna, Strava and Intervals.icu.
Metrics for Smarter Running and Recovery
The Cheetah 2 Pro turns training data into clearer decisions, helping runners understand when to push, when to recover, and how to stay consistent through
demanding training blocks.
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 such as heart rate, HRV, sleep, and fatigue provide a more complete picture of 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.
The Most Advanced GPS in the Cheetah Lineup
Featuring advanced dual-band GPS with multi-satellite positioning, the Cheetah 2 Pro delivers precise pacing and reliable route tracking, 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.
Endurance That Matches the Distance
Training does not stop because the battery does. The Cheetah 2 Pro offers up to 31 hours of GPS battery life, supporting marathon cutoff times around the world and extended efforts that require reliable performance from start to finish.
For everyday use, the watch also delivers up to 20 days of battery life, ensuring it keeps pace with both training cycles and daily 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.
