Strengths noted

Very good battery life in everyday use (recharge about every 10 days in its scenario).
A very “premium” case (Grade 5 titanium, sapphire screen, no external plastic).
Navigation and accuracy of turn-change alerts judged excellent.
Very bright, readable AMOLED display in contrasted environments.

Limitations noted

Split/interval start: a slight delay when pressing the lap button (a few seconds’ lag at the start).
The watch doesn’t “preload” maps (maps to download/load via the ecosystem).
Intervals function affected occasionally: the issue doesn’t show up on every split.

Best for? Trail running with navigation, everyday use (very readable display) and a focus on battery life.

7RUN'S SUMMARY OF THE PUBLISHED TEST

Key takeaways

According to the tester, the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra stands out for a more refined build, a very bright screen and navigation deemed highly precise for trail running. The advertised battery life is backed up by its tests, to the point of significantly reducing the mental load associated with the battery. The main caveat concerns a small possible lag when restarting a split during intervals.
