Cheetah 2 Ultra already in US web store
I think no one understands it. Now we have the cheetah pro with a small screen but almost the same dimensions as the ultra. They could have made them two different sizes like one in 44 other in 48 mm. I bet those custom cnc milled titanium pieces are expensive to manufacture, hence the price and pro

Smart watch calories
I just use Garmin! I have a forerunner 170 now. Used to have a forerunner 255. My 255 was on par with my calculated TDEE so I’m not sure if this one underestimates or my previous one overestimated. I think it’s either over/under estimating my calories burned during workouts.
