Amazfit Cheetah Pro Review: A Sub-$250 Smartwatch That Punches Above Its Weight

Key Features
Built for Runners
Dual-band GPS that locks fast even between tall buildings, plus pace, cadence, vertical oscillation, and ground contact tracking that used to be locked behind much pricier watches.
Bright AMOLED
1.45-inch round AMOLED at 480×480, easy to read in direct sun. Always-on mode is genuinely usable without killing battery.
14-Day Battery
Owners report about 9 to 10 days with daily GPS runs. Heavy use with always-on screen drops it to about a week. Still way past anything from Apple or Garmin in this price range.
Built-in Mic & Speaker
You can take Bluetooth calls from the wrist and use a basic AI assistant. Not life-changing, but a nice touch on a sub-$250 watch.
Pros & Cons
What We Liked
- Dual-band GPS at this price is rare
- Battery life genuinely matches the spec
- AMOLED is bright and easy to read outdoors
- Built-in mic and speaker for calls
Worth Knowing
- Zepp app is less polished than Garmin Connect
- Heart rate slightly lags during sharp intervals
- Round case is on the larger side, may not fit smaller wrists
