Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro smartwatch praised for premium build and hidden hacks

The Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro positions itself as a premium smartwatch for serious athletes, featuring a titanium case, sapphire‑glass screen and a very bright 1.32‑inch AMOLED display that can reach over 3,000 cd/m². It offers 32 GB of storage, up to 20 days of battery life even with the always‑on display, offline maps and a built‑in flashlight. Priced at about €450 ($512), it lacks some high‑end functions such as ECG, LTE or a rotating crown, and the decorative bezel numbering has drawn criticism for being unnecessary.

Users can unlock additional capabilities by enabling developer mode in the Zepp app (tap the logo seven times). This hidden mode allows installation of custom watch faces via QR code, cross‑loading faces between compatible Amazfit models, viewing live device logs, taking screenshots and connecting to desktop development tools. Adjusting settings such as heart‑rate sampling frequency, disabling automatic stress and blood‑oxygen monitoring, and scheduling wrist‑wake periods can extend battery life and reduce unnecessary data collection.
