Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro spotted again as launch signs grow stronger
Zepp Health’s upcoming Cheetah 2 Pro has now been spotted for a second time, this time on the wrist of long-distance runner Amanal Petros during the Berlin Half Marathon.
A second sighting makes this look far more deliberate
When the watch first appeared in the Grant Fisher training clip last month, it was easy to see it as an early teaser or even an accidental reveal. That is much harder to argue now.
The same unreleased device now appears to have been shown again in official athlete footage, this time during a real race setting. Amanal Petros, who recently broke the German record at the Berlin Half Marathon, can be seen wearing a large round smartwatch that closely matches the device from the earlier clip.
That second appearance changes the tone of the story. Two separate athlete videos strongly suggest this is part of a planned pre-launch tease rather than a one-off glimpse. It feels increasingly likely that Zepp Health wants the device seen ahead of an official announcement.
More of the design is now visible
This latest footage also gives us another look at the hardware.
The watch appears to feature a round case with a relatively large display, a metal body and a black silicone sports strap. One of the more interesting visual details is the button design. Unlike the buttons on the recently launched Active 3 Premium, this watch seems to use larger buttons with the same 4 button setup.
That detail helps distinguish it from other recent Amazfit models and points toward a more premium running-focused design. It also lines up with the look of the original Cheetah Pro, while still suggesting Zepp Health has refined the chassis.
From what we can see so far, the design seems aimed at runners who want a lightweight sports watch without giving up a premium finish. In fact, we previously compiled a mockup based on all the images seen so far. This is what the device is likely to look like.
What this could mean for launch timing
The specifications still remain under wraps, but the name “Cheetah 2” had already surfaced earlier this year in app code, which was the first strong clue that a successor was on the way. Now that the device has appeared in two athlete-focused videos, the case for an imminent launch looks stronger.
Not just that. But there have also been two recent regulatory filings of yet to be released Amazfit watches. One goes under the number A2441, the other model under the number A2564. Most likely, one of these two is the Cheetah 2 Pro. The other one might be Falcon 2. Zepp Health has clearly already secured regulatory approvals for two new devices.
Brands tend to place unreleased wearables on sponsored athletes once the final design is largely locked in. While that remains informed speculation, the pattern now looks increasingly clear. The Cheetah 2 Pro seems to be moving from rumour stage into late pre-launch visibility.
