A more premium Amazfit Cheetah 2 variant looks to be on the way
Information we have seen points to a more premium version of the Amazfit Cheetah 2 on the way, with signs of a larger display, more storage and a much bigger battery than the Cheetah 2 Pro. Zepp Health has not announced anything yet, so this is best treated as an early look at where the Cheetah 2 line may be heading next.
A bigger Cheetah 2 model appears likely
The Cheetah line has always leaned into running, but the newer information suggests Zepp Health may be preparing something with a broader trail and outdoor angle. The details point to a circular watch with a 1.5 inch AMOLED display, 480 x 480 resolution and sapphire glass, which would put it above the 1.32 inch display found on the Cheetah 2 Pro.
That larger screen would make sense for maps, navigation and longer outdoor sessions. The information also points to improved offline maps with faster loading and rendering, which would fit the larger display well.
The design also appears to stick with the four button layout used on the Cheetah 2 Pro. That suggests Zepp Health may not be changing the basic control setup, but instead scaling the concept into a more premium outdoor form. The case styling looks tougher as well, with more prominent bezel detailing and a less minimal feel.
The build details need a bit of caution. The information points to titanium being used in the case construction, while there’s also mention of plastic. So this should not be read as a full titanium case unless Zepp Health confirms it.
The battery could be the real clue
Another interesting part is the battery figure. The information we have seen points to a 780mAh battery, which is a sizeable jump from the 540mAh unit in the Cheetah 2 Pro. That would also line up with a claimed battery life of up to 30 days in normal use and up to 70 hours with GPS.
Those figures would move this model into a different conversation. The Cheetah 2 Pro is already well equipped for serious runners, but a larger battery would make the next variant more appealing for trail runs, long hikes and multi day use away from a charger.
Storage may also be getting a bump. The details point to 64GB, compared with 32GB on the Cheetah 2 Pro. That could help with offline maps, music and future software features.
The flashlight also appears to carry over from the Cheetah 2 Pro, which already includes a dual-mode LED with white and red light, Boost and SOS modes. It keeps the practical outdoor angle intact, especially for early runs, late walks and outdoor use where a built-in light can be genuinely handy.
More than just a Cheetah 2 Pro with a bigger case
The Cheetah 2 Pro can remain the performance model, while this possible new version would likely sit above it for people who want more battery life and a more substantial build. It would be a logical move, especially as the line now overlaps more with hiking and navigation than the original Cheetah watches did.
Zepp Health has been moving quickly with its recent watch launches. Cheetah 2 Pro arrived with a stronger build and more serious navigation features than the older Cheetah line, and there should be more to come soon. We are also expecting a new addition to the Bip line, along with an Amazfit HYROX watch, so the next few weeks could be busy for the company.
