    I just purchased the Cheetah Fit Pro. I am coming from a Samsung Watch 4. The Pro was on sale last week on Amazon for $269. It is allowing me to hook up an external HR strap so that is not an issue. The battey life is amazing. Screen is good. Ability to set up custom HR alerts is perfect for a beginner runner looking to do MAF or low heart rate. Also allows for calibration of treadmill which my Samsung did not. And all for $269

    Have in mind that the Amazfit HR sensors are very sensitive to where you wear them on your wrist and how tight the band is. You need to wear it as far back on your wrist, more that two fingers width and have them really tight. It makes a lot of difference., It would be good to see some comparison results of other metrics like aerobic/anaerobic effect, workout load, recovery time with the other watches. Nevertheless, a very comprehensive review and I really enjoyed it!

    It's an interesting option, it gets you some premium features at a not so premium price. Like you said, its a hard sell with it also competing with watches like the Apple Watch SE and lower end Garmin watches. If i where shopping at this price I would probably be looking at things like the Garmin Venu series, Forunner, or Instinct. It is a reminder though that Garmin should maybe start considering integrating a mic and speaker to more of their watches if they can do so without compromising them in other areas.

    Hello, sorry for the English.
    All your videos are fantastic. After seeing the review you did of the Amazfit Cheetah Pro I had made the decision to buy it, but now I have seen the Coros Pace 3 or Garmin Forerunner 255 and I have a doubt. There is something that really attracts me to the Cheetah as opposed to the Pace 3, and that is the Amoled screen, size and resolution, but there are qualities that are very important such as: GPS and heart rate and personal trainer. What do you think would be the best choice? Do you plan to make a comparison between these watches and even some Polar, Garmin or Suunto in the same price range? Thank you.

  • @ganeshh100
    @ganeshh100 Před rokem

    Hi Dave,
    Thank you very much for yet another detailed video, the fundamental issue with this make is the heart rate sensor which is supposed to be the cornerstone in any fitness device. All the critical parameters such as HRV, Recovery, VO2 max and stress depend on the heart rate sensor and if that is faltering there is no point in positioning the product from a price point and releasing so many models. I have experienced a similar issue with whoop strap as well, where the heart rate is inaccurate and all the measurements inevitably becomes a moot point. Do you have any suggestions to mitigate these shortcoming?

    • @LukeRichardson1981
      @LukeRichardson1981 Před rokem +1

      Use an external HRM when doing exercise. I have an Amazfit GTR4 and using an external heart rate monitor (I use an optical arm band) resolves any issues with heart rate accuracy.

The only minus is - it doesn't have an Amoled but that's also the best part. It has Always on display by default (as in - your watch face is your always on display as well with backlight off). It as good as an amoled under sunlight and outdoor conditions.

      In my experience it's not that amazing but I haven't spent a ton of time with it admittedly. It basically analyzes your recent efforts and tries to suggest workouts for upcoming efforts. If you were completely new to running it would probably be more useful than those who were more advanced. May be worth a follow up video. Stay tuned.

    Regarding the HR accuracy one trick that I use with my Pace 2 is to wear it up on the arm, as much as the opened Nylon Band allows. This way it becomes very accurate.

    In terms of the heart rate accuracy and GPS accuracy, I'd say that it doesn't look that far off from what I would see on my 5-year old Suunto Spartan Trainer HR 😂 That's a compliment, actually, considering how severely off the mark Amazfit's GPS and HR data were with all their previous watches. They were borderline unusable. It's quite a big leap that the GPS and HR accuracy are now practically usable for casual sports enthusiasts despite the occasionally patchy accuracy. Give them another couple of years and they'll probably be on par with the midrange watches of today accuracy-wise

      People are certainly waiting for it. Unfortunately part of the developer release of WatchOS10 there's an NDA where media outlets (or youtube channels) are not allowed to show first hand experience with the software. This is why you won't find much about the features on CZcams unless that channel decides to break the rules (and get apple mad at them!). Stay tuned... You'll see much more about WatchOS 10 in July!

      @@ChaseTheSummit thanks so much for being open and transparent about why you are unable to give your first impressions. It’s really a shame that they do this! You wonder if they do this because the software isn’t polished yet or under performs? Kind of very similar to when they showed us a guy climbing a tall mountain with the Ultrawatch and lo and behold, the watch basically had no sort of mapping whatsoever. This is where you have to give a big kudos to companies like Amazfit for at least giving customers mapping that is more than Apple has ever given its customers and they charge nearly $800.00 for the Ultra which was advertised as an outdoor enthusiast watch? I think one of the major reasons why Apple did not focus on developing maps is because it relies on revenue streams from third-party apps. If it made its own apps for different functions, it would cut off its revenue stream that it made from third-party apps. I have the Apple Watch Ultra and a Garmin Epix, and I enjoy both, but as the saying goes, you have to call a spade a spade.

      I do not think the lack of mapping is because of profit from third party apps.
      Apple could have easily just charge for maps or include the functionality for “free” as part of their payed bundles.
      It seems like Apple just wanted to do a luxurious jewellery not an actual equipment used by athletes. Ultra for me is more of an fancy SUV with a low ground clearance running on street tires 😂
      Apple has its own opinions on what customers need and often does not give a f for years.

    If I'm gonna pay for a sport watch,I will do it once cause is an investment.Garmin Epix Pro,Garmin Forerunner 965.The lack of NFC,is a big issue for me.The zepp app,needs a lot of work.The sensors in Garmin watches,are far better and accurate,better build quality overall,better after sales service and guarantee.

      Actually, I can not agree with any of these statements. Now I am looking for a watch because my Fenix 6 battery just burned 2 month after guarantee. Girl at support literally told be that I can put it to trash. Also even on Reddit, many similar stories .
      The watch heart rate was also poor - running, ok it is highly optimized, but squash, table tennis, tennis, volleyball, fitness. Damn there were jumps from 180 to 95 in one second :D. I understand that it is only optical technology, not accurate. But what you have wrote for me is what they want you to believe about the Garmin. For the price I paid (600$) I could buy 2 of amazfits.

    Like most brands, you get bashers and those that go with a brand. These are Chinese so automaticllay get hammered for that as crap. Had a few Amazfit watches and been fine. The HR problem?. Yes its there but basically all other brands are off too. I run with a Garmin 255 which my colleagues kindly brought for me and HR readings are ok until I start to run and get to top end speed and HR gettings upto 185...I'm 61 and with strap...which to get good readings you need it is 160. Loads of things on the Garmin sound really good but are not correct. Estimated run times for my 5k - 10k etc are miles off. 25.23 est for my 5 k and best to date is 27.20 that was years ago. Expect Amazfit is same. HRV is good on Garmin though. Recovery time on Garmin goes to 48 hrs sometimes after a gentle 5k....sure Amazfit is the same. Garmin are a great brand no doubt but cetrtainly not the holy grail that we sometimes hold them up to be. Don't need this watch at present but is just as good as most other watches around by looks of it and would certainly consider it.

    So its just like GTR4 with map support, slightly larger screen and marginally smaller battery?

    Edit: Cheetah Pro have Bluetooth 5.3 and Gorilla Glass 3 instead of Bluetooth 5.0 and some noname glass on GTR4.
    Plus there is something called "Race achievement predictions". Thats sounds like feature from my old Stratos 3, that i have been missing on my GTR4.

    You get a lot for your money with Amazfit but of course there are also some compromises if you compare e.g. build quality, technology, and accuracy with the top end Garmin watches. So the question is whether to go for cheap and cheerful or high end at a cost, and at this point do remember that these watches tend to depreciate in time with development of new technology, meaning really fast. That said I have been a Garmin customer for many years and I don't see myself jumping ship and putting my hard earned money into Chinese owned and manufactured technology.

    It is never correct to compare the Heart Rate to another smartwatch. The gold standard is to compare it with an ECG strap. Polar 8 or 10 is considered the gold standard to compare wearable devices based on optical reading. You should send the HR from Polar to garmin as your comparator, for example. Second, the best method to assess heart rate accuracy is not the visual inspection you do, nor the "correlation graph" other youtubers do Wearable devices HR variability is better described using the Bland and Altman plots with some objective 'statistics' so users will be better informed. Few serious users (elite athelees and those with medical cardiac conditions) in need of an accurate HR should use a chest strap, not the optical reading. BTW, amazfit Cheetah, GTR4 and GTS4 allow to receive HR from external chest straps. This combo (chest strap + Amazfit) is way cheaper that a premium non-amoled competitor smartwatch
