Amazfit Prepares to Expand its Lineup: Cheetah 2 Pro and Falcon 2 on the Horizon
Amazfit is rapidly expanding its wearable technology portfolio, following the recent Czech market releases of the T-Rex Ultra 2 and Active 3 Premium. Evidence suggests at least two new models are in development: the Cheetah 2 Pro, geared towards runners and the Falcon 2, a premium offering.
Cheetah 2 Pro: A Shift in Design
A promotional video featuring Canadian long-distance runner Grant Fisher revealed the upcoming Cheetah 2 Pro. Compared to the original Cheetah Pro, the new model showcases a significant design change. While the current Cheetah Pro features a single button and rotating crown, the Cheetah 2 Pro appears to have two dedicated buttons, potentially eliminating the rotating crown altogether.
The Cheetah lineup focuses on performance, running accuracy, and comfort, differentiating itself from the more rugged T-Rex series.
Falcon 2: Hints in the Zepp App Code
The existence of the Falcon 2 was discovered through code analysis of the Zepp app version 10.0.8. The code contains the string “SUPPORT_BIND_FALCON2025,” indicating work on a successor to the Amazfit Falcon. The original Falcon, launched in October 2022, has not received updates since its release.
The original Falcon targets demanding athletes, boasting a titanium body, sapphire glass, and 20 ATM water resistance. The significance of “2025” within the code string remains unclear, but may have indicated an initial planned release date.
A Busy Period for Amazfit
These developments approach as Amazfit actively expands its presence in the Czech market. The Active 3 Premium, designed for runners of all levels, became available on March 5th, priced at 4,290 Kč. The T-Rex Ultra 2, built for extreme conditions with a titanium alloy body, full-color offline maps, and a dual-color LED flashlight, is available for 13,990 Kč.
The Cheetah series prioritizes running performance, while the T-Rex series emphasizes durability and outdoor features.
What to Expect from the Next Generation
Neither the Cheetah 2 Pro nor the Falcon 2 have yet appeared in certification databases, which typically precede official launches by several months. A realistic timeframe for announcement is therefore likely during the spring or summer.
