Unboxing Nothing's CMF Watch Pro 2, followed by a one-week review of this budget smartwatch after a week of use,. Despite the weeny price tag, this wearable boasts better battery life than a Pixel or Apple Watch - but the CMF Watch Pro 2 by Nothing has its limitations too.
Like the Phone 1, you've got a distinctive UI that's simple to use. Notifications support is basic at best, while that behaviour can be a bit shonky at times. Still, the CMF Watch Pro 2 can track a huge number of exercise types, with GPS support. You've also got the usual health related shenanigans, including heart rate tracking, sleep analysis and so on.
The AMOLED display is bright and not supports auto brightness, which is a big upgrade vs the original CMF Watch Pro. This sequel has the regular selection of apps too. So, are you tempted by the Nothing CMF Watch Pro 2? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Actually, when I bought the CMF Watch 1 after he reviewed it I realized he missed a bunch of shit. I only watch him for the entertainment now. Maybe this review is better, but I don't trust him all that much as a reviewer.

@@pseudonymos_how's your experience with the watch? Would you recommend it?

@pseudonymos_ 13 күн бұрын

@@internalconflict-oo3yz Hm. The watch is alright I'd say. The build is pretty good, it's a bit bulky compared to some models of the Apple Watch. The only complaint I have with the physical product is that the strap is always either too tight or too loose, but that probably isn't a universal problem. The sensors aren't perfect, but they're good enough to give you a general idea of your activity throughout the day. The real problem here is the software, the CMF Watch app. This watch doesn't do much other than tell the time and show recent health data without the app. In order for the watch to do things like show the weather or notifications the CMF Watch app must be open on your phone. It can be in the background, but you must have it open. Android will automatically close the app after enough time too. It isn't THAT big of a deal when you remind yourself of the price, I guess, but this is something that he did not mention in the review of the first model and absolutely would have stopped me from buying it if he had. Another little quirk is that you have to whitelist what apps your watch will give you notifications from, whatever, right? Well, KZfaq isn't on the list. You cannot get notifications from KZfaq on this watch. What a strange decision. The last problem I have is with the customer support, but I didn't really expect this guy to include customer support in his review so I won't talk about it.

@pseudonymos_ 13 күн бұрын

The truth is that I don't know anything about the budget smart watch market so I can't give you any opinion on recommendation. To be frank, I have no clue how this product compares to its competitors. Watch this guy's review, consider my words, and decide from there.

This was more an unboxing and going through the features rather than a proper review. I did like the video but i got no information that would be helpful in choosing this smart watch. Like you say its in the budget friendly smart watch price but is it a good one, how does it compare to similar prced smart watches, whats it lacking in comparison to expensive ones, is it worth upgrading if you had the previous generation. If I bought it from this review alone id have no idea if I was scammed or if I had got a great bit of tech for a great price
