New smartwatch: Amazfit Cheetah Pro 2 has been confirmed by the manufacturer

Sometimes, both as a user and as a journalist, you get the feeling that an “accidental” leak isn’t quite as accidental as it seems, but rather part of a multi-stage marketing plan. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro 2 raises suspicions in this regard. Zepp Health has now effectively confirmed the existence of the wearable—in a video. The video was produced in collaboration with Canadian long-distance runner Grant Fisher and Amazfit, and could hardly be more revealing. The runner not only shows his current recovery status on his phone and in the Zepp app, but also a summary of an activity recorded with the Amazfit Cheetah Pro 2.

The watch on his wrist is not shown for long, but it is visible, and initial conclusions can be drawn about the design. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro 2 is expected to feature significant design changes. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro is a round smartwatch with a single button and a rotating crown on the right-hand side. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro 2 appears to have two separate buttons on at least one side. Even in frame-by-frame analysis, the other side of the watch is difficult to see. However, it currently looks as if the Amazfit Cheetah Pro 2 will be available without a rotating crown. Zepp Health has not yet shared any official information regarding the launch date or price, but a launch is likely sooner rather than later—especially if usable samples already exist. The Cheetah is still available on Amazon, for example.

Note: The teaser image has been significantly sharpened using artificial intelligence. The meaning of the image has been retained, but the exact surface texturing of the buttons may differ. In addition, displaying the Amazfit logo during operation would be atypical and is for illustrative purposes.
