No matter how good a gamer you are, if you do not exercise on a regular basis, your body will not be able to move when the time comes. In fact, I feel that if you build up your physical strength on a regular basis, you will have the stamina to play games for long periods of time. However, it is difficult to get up and start exercising on your own! It is also hard to know how much exercise you should be doing in the first place, isn't it? For those gamers out there, I would like to recommend the smartwatch " Amazfit Cheetah " from Amazfit! This is a smartwatch for sports that not only monitors your daily health and sleep, but also has a "Zepp Coach" function that suggests the best exercise plan based on the results of your daily health and sleep monitoring. In particular, "Amazfit Cheetah" is designed specifically for running, as the name "Cheetah" suggests, and is also optimized for sports use.
Amazfit Cheetah" smartwatch for runners

Amazfit Cheetah" is a small package about 10cm square. The lightness of the package leads to high expectations.

When I removed the outer box, I found a "typical" box and a card symbolizing the brand. The overall packaging is white, which matches the sporty image of the Amazfit Cheetah.
Open! The Amazfit Cheetah consists of a round Panda tempered glass with anti-fingerprint coating, a gray bezel, a yellow insert color, and a gray band that is as close to white as possible.
Breaking Limits" is the catchphrase of the Amazfit Cheetah brand. It may be a little heavy for light users who want to start exercising, but don't worry, of course, there is a system that even beginners can exercise without difficulty.
Quickly turn on the Amazfit Cheetah and start with the initial setup. Install the Zepp app from the 2D code displayed on the screen, and pairing is complete via Bluetooth! Only 2 minutes so far!
After pairing Amazfit Cheetah, you can register and log in to your account on the app side. For new registrations, I had to enter my birth date, height, and weight, but I was convinced that the information would be used to analyze my exercise.
The process is quick and easy, and takes about 5 minutes. Now it's time to exercise!
The default watch face (dial) looks like this. The date and time are in the center, and the round thing on the left is the battery. On the top is the total number of steps for the day, and on the bottom is the heart rate and calories burned.
The band that comes with the Amazfit Cheetah is made of liquid silicone so it is comfortable to wear, and even if you sweat during exercise, it is dry and can be easily wiped off!
If you have ever touched a smartwatch, you will know what it feels like to press the crown to display a list of apps. Tap "Exercise" to see the menu list. There are more than 150 exercise menus (competitions) that are supported!

There are also sports that I have honestly never heard of, and surprisingly, even " e-sports " are included. You have to wear it when you play e-sports!
If you select walking as a trial, the GPS detection will start.
!
It locates your position in 5 seconds! I guess it depends a lot on the surrounding environment and weather, but I still have a feeling it's quite fast.
Once the GPS is supplemented, you can start exercising! The screen displays exercise time, distance, speed, heart rate and the load on the body. The large font makes it very easy to read while exercising.
Exercise results are automatically synced to the Zepp App. You can check exercise time, distance, average speed, heart rate, calories burned, number of pitches and even elevation. If you have GPS turned on, you can also see a detailed map!
Since we're at it, we also measured it in e-sports. Here are the heart rate and stress levels while playing "League of Legends. Both are high in the first half of the game, but in the second half, when victory is approaching, the player seems more relaxed than at the beginning.
By the way, we lost this game.
One of the most attractive features of smartwatches is the ability to change the watch face (dial).
available
Amazfit Cheetah offers eight different watch faces by default, and you can download more than 100 watch faces from the Zepp app! Some of the watch faces allow you to play mini-games like fishing or side-scrolling action.
Zepp Co ach is the perfect feature for those who are not ready to exercise on their own. By entering your height, weight, exercise goals, current habits, schedule, etc., Zepp Coach will suggest an exercise plan that is suited to you!
In this case, it suggested a 16-minute workout at an average of 111 bpm. If you set a goal like this, training will continue like a game.
Other settings such as frequency of various monitoring and automatic activation can be set from the Zepp app. The more you heap on these settings, the more battery consumption will increase, so choose what you need.
...
By the way, the charging cable is a USB Type-A powered type.
It sticks to the back of the device with a magnet.
This is a review of the Amazfit Cheetah! The Amazfit Cheetah series also includes a higher-end model, the "Amazfit Cheetah Pro", which also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth calling.
