Amazfit's flagship trail running watch gets Hyrox training tools, smarter energy tracking in new update

Amazfit has rolled out a software update for the Cheetah 2 Ultra (curr. $599.99 on Amazon) trail running watch, adding Hyrox race tools, a revamped energy intelligence system, and multiple navigation-related improvements.

The primary addition is the expanded Hyrox support. The Zepp app now includes an official Hyrox Workout Library with structured training templates that sync directly to the watch. Athletes also get two new race-focused tools: Hyrox Virtual Pace for real-time pacing against target times, and simulation workouts covering Full Course, Half Course, and other Hyrox-specific formats. The Virtual Pace feature is accessible under Workout > More > Hyrox Virtual Pace, while the training library lives under Home > Hyrox Workouts Library.

Fitness tracking-wise, Amazfit has upgraded its energy monitoring with HybridCharge Energy Intelligence. It combines the existing BioCharge system with LifeLoad and Training Load into a single framework. The goal is a more complete picture of readiness by factoring in training, recovery, and daily stress across a wider range of activities. Amazfit adds that recovery time guidance has also been refined to specify recommended rest before high-, medium-, or low-intensity sessions.

Navigation gets a few practical tweaks. A route preview image now appears on the workout preparation screen before heading out. Map scale accuracy has been improved with new options at 2 km, 750 m, 200 m, and 75 m. Terrain map rendering has also been optimized when map data hasn't been downloaded.

Rounding out the update, status indicators now briefly show up on the watch face before moving to the Control Center.
