Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. As noted by the title, I’ve been giving this watch a whirl nonstop for the last week, seeing how it handles with my day-to-day workouts, and how it compares to other options on the market – both from a daily usage standpoint as well as an accuracy perspective.

Since I've had this phone for a year, I must state that it exceeds all of my expectations, performs flawlessly, and I have absolutely no complaints.While the Cheetah Pro packs in a lot, you can arguably get a slicker overall run tracking performance from watches like the Pacer Pro and Forerunner 255 and even the cheaper Coros Pace 3. The plan seemed to be way out of line when compared with other platforms structured marathon plans and also that provided by my club coach so I ditched it. There’s a built-in music player but you have to upload music via the phone app and then use the built-in speaker or pair up Bluetooth headphones to listen to audio.

The HUNT Fitness Study indicates that people who maintain a PAI score of 100 or higher show lower risk of hypertension, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes. The way these buttons are assigned to the watch software works fine but there are some odd moments where a button press will take you to a place you didn’t intend to go as well. Here’s a map-less shot from my run last night (because I couldn’t get the maps to download), and while the route line is visible, it’s not as crispy as the other pages. In a 5K race, it slightly underreported the distance covered, but mapped routes and average pacing were much closer. That's partially because Amazfit used a nylon strap instead of silicone, but it's still appreciated.In Amazfit’s press bits they touted superior GPS accuracy in city environments, as well as more mundane ones – even showing a screenshot where unnamed competitors had failed. It uses a dual-band GPS (L1 and L5) antenna to pick up almost 100% of satellite signals and reduces multi-path interference caused by tall buildings and trees to provide more accurate positioning. It’s good to see Amazfit hasn’t entirely tried to copy what the competition is doing and the result is a watch that looks good, feels comfortable to wear for long periods and doesn’t feel like you’re getting short-changed overall in the design department. The navigation features you have at your disposal here aren’t groundbreaking either and lack turn-by-turn navigation, but they do work well enough to be useful when you're exploring new environments.

Long-time readers will know that I generally find digital crowns to be miserable in sport usage (such as to navigate features while running), and that’s the case here as well. Thanks to its innovative dual-band GPS antenna, the watch is able to pick up nearly 100% of satellite signals, ensuring a more accurate location during runs.

With their support and the Garmin echo system to me it just makes no sense to ever have anything else. However, what’s key is when and where each company leverages it – such as to try and minimize the suck.

Then you can play audio out loud or pair up Bluetooth headphones to keep listening sessions more private. In Amazfit’s press materials, they put a lot of emphasis on the accuracy of the GPS, so in particular I wanted to see how well that piece did. The Amazfit Cheetah Pro offers the same features as the Cheetah Round and mainly differs with the design and the higher quality materials used.

You’re getting a 47mm polymer case with a pretty showy titanium alloy bezel on top, surrounding a nice-sized and good quality 1. That makes it pretty consistent; I wonder if it has to do with the nylon strap, which lets you wear it a little looser than you usually get with a silicone strap. And most importantly, it gets them out doing activities, and the data is good enough for them to generally track their fitness journey.
