I’ve been wondering about this one. I have the T-Rex 2 Ultra and it’s great. It’s spot on with my Garmin and Suunto. I did a long trail run yesterday up in the mountains, lots of tree cover, switch backs and turns and in the end it was just as accurate as my Garmin and Suunto is. I love the vibrant screen and watch face selection. As for HR, never been a huge HR guy so as long as it gives me at least a rough estimate then I’m happy. Which is does. I’ve also found that the step count with the T-Rex2Ultra is more accurate than my Garmin. Imagine that 🤷🏻‍♂️. Amazfit is definitely innovating & improving quickly and I like it.

Thanks for this review Matt, I love your videos. Are you going to do a review of the Garmin Forerunner 265 by any chance? I know you've done one for the 965, but it'd be great to see your point of view on the 265. Also, it would be great to see a comprehensive comparison of this Cheetah with the 265 😀 and maybe even with another two watches, like Apple Watch and Polar Ignite 3? Cheers!

I just purchased the Cheetah Fit Pro. I am coming from a Samsung Watch 4. The Pro was on sale last week on Amazon for $269. It is allowing me to hook up an external HR strap so that is not an issue. The battey life is amazing. Screen is good. Ability to set up custom HR alerts is perfect for a beginner runner looking to do MAF or low heart rate. Also allows for calibration of treadmill which my Samsung did not. And all for $269

When you guys say that there is a lot of competition at 300 price point, what watches are you referring to? I am looking for a watch that can track my runs and have a nice touch screen display for when I am not running, ant it seems that the only competitors it has are the Amazifit GTR4 and the Forerunner 265. The first is anothrr Amazfit (is it better or worse thatn the Cheetah Pro?) And the second costs much more here in UK. What do you think guys? Could you help with my decision?

I guess I wasn’t limiting things to touchscreen only devices but I would highly recommend the FR 265 if you want extremely accurate data. Otherwise this cheetah Pro is a great option.

Just sold my Amazfit GTR 4. Been using it for 6 month but I think I will never buy amazfit again. Watch is great as well as battery life but the only downside and reason why I sold it is zepp app... When you pair the watch you have to do it twice(separate for phone calls) and it keeps disconnecting. I had to reconnect it several times during the day manually.... Kept missing many phone calls as watch didn't let me know someone is ringing. Only send you a text you missed the call 🤷

As others have said, this is questionable value at best at that price, although in 6-12 months that headline price will be significantly reduced. By way of example the Zepp Z (Zepp is Amazfits parent company)was selling for around $600AUD at launch and now can be had for around $200 AUD now

I don't disagree. That's a great looking watch.

I think the hesitation at 300 USD is warented. At that price point its beginning to get into a much more saturated market, and many of its competitors offer more accurate data. Garmin alone has multiple watches in the 250-350 dollar price range, add on Suunto, Coros, and somone on a different review even said an Apple Watch SE and Amazfit is really going to have a tough time selling at this price with its current offerings. Choice is always a good thing however, and im sure you'll find people who prefer the Cheetah to other watches for one reason or another.

Which one? That first one was really impressive. You’re probably seeing it off at the beginning. That’s pretty normal for optical heart rate sensors.
