  Who should stay with Cheetah 2 Pro

  Stay with Cheetah 2 Pro unless more affordable is a weekly problem — Pace 4 is a different job, not a free upgrade.

  Choose Balance 3 if your calendar is mostly daily training / intermediate and Cheetah 2 Pro's daily training / 5k bias is the wrong default.

  Best for

  • Mix road weeks with gym or HYROX and want contour maps plus HybridCharge on one watch without.
  • Already like Zepp from Active 2 / T-Rex and need dual-band GNSS and 64GB maps the starter.
  • Compared Forerunner 570 and Vivoactive 6 and would rather spend ~€369 on sapphire AMOLED maps than join.
