Mr. Yuhi Kon, President of Mirasol Deportes Inc. took the stage last. As an expert review of sports smartwatches, he shared his impressions of the actual use of the watch.


The auto-stop function is perfect.
Saiga NAK

The first good point raised was the accuracy of the location data supplement. In most cases, when using the sports function of a smartwatch, it is common to catch location information before starting. However, depending on the weather and usage environment, it is often difficult to get supplemental information and the start of walking or running is often delayed. I am sure I am not the only one who has somehow tried to raise my left hand to the sky or move my arm. According to Mr. Yuhi Kon, the Amazfit Cheetah Pro smoothly supplements location information. While special functions are eye-catching, it is nice to see such basic performance.


Auto stop function is also perfect.

Next on the list was the Zepp Coach function. When you proceed from the app in a question-and-answer format about your exercise goals and objectives, a running plan is generated just for you. This is a unique feature of Amazfit that has attracted a lot of attention. Since race dates, distances, and goals can also be set, this is a great feature for those who have a real stage on which they want to demonstrate their daily results. On the other hand, we are also concerned about its usability for entry-level users who want to start running for their health somehow.


After sports, high-quality sleep is essential to recover from fatigue. Amazfit also has a wonderful feature called Smart Alarm, which measures the quality of sleep and sounds an alarm at the best timing to ensure a comfortable awakening.


Yufei Kon concluded that the Amazfit Cheetah series is "a smartwatch for runners, but with a simple design, light weight, and a good fit, it can be used by a wide range of people.





Trying on the new Amazfit Cheetah Series!

At the event, visitors were able to try on the new Amazfit Cheetah series before its release. Let's start with the Amazfit Cheetah.

The Amazfit Cheetah is lighter than the Amazfit Cheetah Pro at 32g in terms of specifications. When it comes to a smartwatch that you wear on your wrist all the time, and when it comes to sports, there is no better way to go than to be even 1g lighter. As expected, it is very light and comfortable to wear. The high visibility of the AMOLED display can be seen through the images.

And here is Amazfit Cheetah Pro. The bezel is made of titanium alloy, giving a tight impression. Personally, I think the nylon band is also a high point.


Satisfied with the stress check? The author looking satisfied with the stress check
Saiga NAK

I couldn't go for a run here...so I tried the stress check. Under the pressure of not being able to show a strange value at the presentation, I was relieved to see that the value seemed normal for the time being.
