I commented at the time that COROS’s problem wasn’t having new models, it was having software that was polished and without all sorts of weird caveats. ATM is one of the lowest ratings and means that the device can only withstand splashes of water, whereas 20 ATM is one of the highest ratings and means that the device can be used for snorkeling and water sports. Bottom line, this is a watch that can last for a week and go longer, depending on what features are in regular use. For those runners who want to stay connected even during their workouts, the Amazfit Cheetah Pro offers smart notifications.

Heart rate accuracy felt reliable too, which isn’t always the case for a lot of sports watches that track heart rate during the night. There’s no horrible signs of lag and it doesn’t take long to work out where everything lives on the watch. However, what’s key is when and where each company leverages it – such as to try and minimize the suck.

The porous, breathable liquid silicone strap ensures the watch remains comfortable even during intense exercise. I found the strap a little scratchy for my liking; the crown is perfectly fine, though it feels like Amazfit tuned it so you have to turn it pretty far before it moves you to the next data screen during a run. You’re getting a 47mm polymer case with a pretty showy titanium alloy bezel on top, surrounding a nice-sized and good quality 1.

This not only ensures a crisp and colourful display, but also allows for full customization of the watch face. It has the ability to create custom structured workouts but not add them to a calendar for scheduling.Swiping and tapping on that screen isn’t always a super slick experience, but it also hasn’t severely hampered our day-to-day use of it either. Around the outer edge is that red burning sensation, that’s actually the current seconds, it slowly rotates around the bezel like a slow-moving forest fire.

At the end of the day, I’m an athlete just like you looking for the most detail possible on a new purchase. It promises up to 1000 nits of brightness so is not as bright as the latest Apple Watch Ultra 2, but still ensures visibility overall in most conditions is very good. Typical usage scenario: Worn for consecutive 24-hour periods, heart-rate monitoring (data recorded every 10 minutes) is turned on, and SpO 2 is measured twice a day. Amazfit says, "It's just like being in a one-on-one coaching session with a real human personal trainer.

They were in the ‘just keep releasing new watches’ mode, without every investing in the software quality or app features. It presents training sessions in a digestible manner on the watch, but the AI-powered Zepp Chat feature didn’t feel hugely useful and at times did things like reply in different languages to some basic questions.
