Features Targeting Marathon Runners
Amazfit has unveiled the Cheetah 2 Pro, a state-of-the-art performance running watch specifically designed for marathon runners. Available from 16th April 2026, this launch strategically precedes significant marathon events in Boston and London. The watch is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of marathon training and race day.
Built around the philosophy of refined performance, the Cheetah 2 Pro emphasises structured training, strength support, and recovery insights. Its titanium design offers both durability and lightweight comfort, addressing the requirements of high-mileage training. Amazfit has incorporated a Grade 5 titanium bottom case and middle frame coupled with scratch-resistant sapphire glass to ensure the watch is both robust and light.
Professional marathon runner and Amazfit ambassador Rory Linkletter exemplifies the kind of athlete the Cheetah 2 Pro is crafted for. Reflecting on his training regimen, he stated, “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.”
Advanced Metrics and Battery Life
The Cheetah 2 Pro integrates advanced metrics like pacing, lactate threshold, and finish time predictions to elevate training efficiency. Its GPS functionality provides an extended battery life of up to 29 hours, ensuring it covers marathon distances without interruption. This feature is crucial for long training sessions and races.
Amazfit’s Zepp Coach feature offers personalized training plans, adapting in real-time to runners’ progress. This allows athletes to tailor their preparations according to their individual needs. The watch seamlessly integrates with popular training platforms like TrainingPeaks and Strava, offering comprehensive management of training data.
Priced at AUD 599, the Cheetah 2 Pro is available for purchase through Amazfit’s website and select retail partners. The watch features a bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display, ensuring data is clear and readable during early morning starts, shifting daylight, and late-mile runs.
The Cheetah 2 Pro stands out for its commitment to structural lightness and intelligent design, reducing unnecessary material while maintaining rigidity and precision. It is engineered for runners who understand that speed is not solely about miles but also about the strength, recovery, and discipline that support long-term performance.
Launching ahead of major events, such as the Boston and London Marathons, underscores the importance of timing in its release. This watch is not just for race day; it supports runners through the entire training cycle, from early preparation to the finish line.
