Zepp Health Corporation, a global company providing smart wearable devices in over 90 countries, will launch the new Amazfit brand GPS running watch 'Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro' on Thursday, May 21, 2026, and the 'Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra' on Friday, May 29, 2026, to strengthen its presence in the running sector within the Japanese market (pre-orders for the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra begin on Thursday, May 21).
Concurrently, the company is initiating a full-scale enhancement of the runner experience connecting devices, communities, and physical stores by supporting automatic running log integration with 'Runtrip', one of Japan's largest running communities, and starting product handling at the specialized running and track and field store 'SteP SPORTS'.
In the running watch market, where higher functionality and rising prices occur simultaneously, many runners feel a high barrier to replacing or purchasing new devices.
The Amazfit Cheetah 2 series aims to present an accessible price point while providing the necessary features, durability, and battery performance, targeting everyone from race-oriented road runners to long trail runners in this environment.
Furthermore, by combining the utilization of running logs through Runtrip integration with the provision of try-on and consultation opportunities at SteP SPORTS, the company proposes a 'sustainable' running environment traversing online and offline for Japanese runners.
■ Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro: For Speed-Oriented and Race-Focused Runners
The 'Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro' is Amazfit's first 'pro-grade' authentic running smartwatch, aimed at advanced runners looking to improve their times in full or half marathons.
● 7 Points for the Fastest Runners
- Precise data monitoring, gait analysis, power, and lactate threshold testing to measure detailed running metrics
Visualizes not only distance and pace but also form and load levels, allowing users to specifically understand the challenges necessary for reducing their times.
- Supports systematic improvement of runners' athletic abilities through 17 scientific training menus
Covers everything from aerobic to speed and recovery evenly, allowing for planned runs without hesitation about 'what to do today'.
- Records accurate mileage and MAPs with a dual-band 6-satellite GPS positioning system, circularly polarized antenna, and 32GB large-capacity storage
Maintains stable tracking even in building-dense areas or forests, and allows users to save map data and music directly on the device, ensuring focus on the run without relying on a smartphone.
- Features a long battery life capable of 20 days of typical use and 31 hours of continuous use in GPS mode
Can be continuously used for daily training, actual races, ultras, and long runs without the worry of frequent charging.
- Combines a titanium alloy bottom case and frame with sapphire glass, balancing durability and a premium feel
Resistant to scratches even during hard practice, with a texture that makes it suitable for long-term daily wear as a regular watch.
- Maximizes visibility during running with a 1.32-inch AMOLED display and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits
Heart rate and pace can be checked at a glance even under strong sunlight, allowing quick access to necessary information without breaking form.
