CMF Watch Pro Smartwatch with 1.96 AMOLED Display, Fitness Tracker, Built-in Multi-System GPS, Bluetooth Calling with AI Noise Reduction and up to 13 Days of Usage-Metallic Grey

This watch has a great display, is super light and the band is very comfortable.It seems to do all the functions that it claims to do rather well.The only issues I have seem too be just nitpicky stuff, but here they are:When receiving a text notification it does not display the contact name, only the number.The custom clock face templates are on in 24hr time format and no option for 12hr.That's it. What you get for the price, it smokes the competition in it's price bracket.

So let me be clear here, this is a 70 DOLLAR watch, a 10th of the price of a Apple watch, that was newly introduced into the market by Nothing Tech, so being critical in my opinion, for value sake, isn't warranted. I will point out key flaws with the watch and address my concerns throughout this review, and point out quality control matters.Packaging: Very simple, everything can be recycled or reused to store the watch, nothing fancy there, not a lot of plastic waste like Apples shrink wrapped boxes for everything they use, and they are fairly compact, though not as compact as a Samsung watch box.Comfort: I'd give it a 8 out of 10, its not bad with the original strap, but its better with a higher quality strap, these watches mount a 22mm watch strap, a common size, even the Samsung Gear S3 used this size, so I had some spare straps sitting about I wasn't using, added some comfort to the watch.Build Quality: This thing is light, for a watch of its size, it makes the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 feel heavy, same for the Gear 3 Frontier, granted these are flagship watches of their time, but you can still buy them today for maybe 20 USD more for a used one, or 200+ for a new one, and they will have more features.Continuing the build quality note, the watch band is crap, replace it right away, or get one when you buy the watch, the notch on the buckle is stamped in, not molded so it looks uneven up close, far away it isn't a issue. The backing of the watch is plastic and the shell is what I can tell is metal. I question the durability of both the shell and the glass, which I hope that someone would build a case for this watch soon, and I do not trust this glass.Screen: The OLED screen is nice, despite the massive borders around the edges, you can see them plain as day if light was to shine on the watch, but other than that, the colors are crisp, bright, and the screen is easy to read.Performance: The watch boots fast, but struggles with its own apps, sluggish at times when scrolling though the apps, or looking between them on the home screen. It doesn't bother me but it may bother someone else. The Heart rate sensor and O2 sensor are decent, accurate, and fairly fast.Hardware: Apparently this thing supports BT 5.3, 13 days of average battery life with its 340mAh battery, There isn't much information on the watch from CMF's website. But on other sites you can find more on the watch, but the only thing I found so far is that It features a 410x502 screen, GPS, and Accelerometer.It does lack NFC and Cellular data, and other features that you would see on flagship watches, so features like google pay or apple pay (unlikely to have apple pay anyways as that is proprietary) are not present, you can make phone calls but the microphone is somewhere, but require your phone to do so. It also lacks a light sensor behind the screen, the screen will not adjust based on lighting conditions.Software and OS: I question the watch's security as it has its own Custom OS, its not like Google wear or IOS, as this causes other issue, the fact that it would need to rely on its own source for watch faces and applications so you are limited. Even the App that is on the phone is very rough in keeping track of what notifications you want to track, if I wanted to track Emails, it would check that box, leave that screen, only to come back to see it unchecked, so the App is unfinished and presents it's issues, even with proper permissions and app permission to run in the background when on standby. Granted this is a new watch, its going to have its new issues.The OS of the watch has me more concerned, this is a device connected to your phone, what Security, if any, are they running, and what assurance do I have that data wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. This is a Bluetooth device after all, and I haven't seen much on security from CMF, or on the watch itself, nor the App. So if you are running sensitive data, or giving this to a child, might not be recommended. The watch does have a feature to take pictures, but it is more of a macro setting that defines the key press as a volume down, to take a photo, it doesn't directly control the camera which honestly is a relief.Will I recommend? Depends on CMF, for now 70$ is decent price for the watch, but Nothing has a tendency to drop support on their Legacy hardware. I do like their build quality and their design, but their approach to keeping things supported and the idea of saying that they are carbon neutral, yet not keeping support to older devices has me personally thinking that isn't the case. To reduce waste, either have a means to take the device back, or continue support. Granted that these devices are cheap, inexpensive, and simple, but what is the environmental impact in the long term? What is the lifespan of these devices before they reach the bin? Or worse put into the ocean?For now I would kind of recommend, as they haven't done anything significant with CMF to put people off, but don't expect support for the long term, nor the device to last or be durable. I fear that the devices that they are making is contributing to an already growing problem to E-waste unless they can prove otherwise, ill stick with that. Make devices repairable and you'll solve about 80% of that.

I read about this watch before it was available in the US so I knew quite a bit about it. But it is always fun to actually get it in your hands and test for yourself. This is just about the perfect smartwatch for me. Here are the things I really like:1. The size and shape of the watch is great for me. The band is easy to use and comfortable all day long.2. The battery lasts a very long time - I'm still working on tweaking some settings but I'm very happy with it so far.3. The modern simple design is great. I don't need all the bells and whistles that Wear OS provides - I want to track heart rate, oxygen level, stress, sleep, and exercise and this watch does all that.4. The App was easy to set up and the watch paired immediately with my Android phone.5. The watch face was easy to customize with my photo, but there are many standard choices.Improvements I would like to see? Really only the user manual - it is quite basic and would benefit from annotation and additions by actual users. Maybe CMF by Nothing will set up a user's forum on their web site to assist with that. The web site does have FAQs and how to advice. I do wish all smart watches would use the same charger like phones have all moved to USB C now.Edit - there is a customer forum on nothing.community!

At the time of this review (JAN2024), a few software updates have helped to ensure a more stable experience. It wasn't the cleanest first few months as far as stability goes. Such is life with a first gen piece of tech.Things I like: coming from the Pixel Watch, I appreciated the new form factor and material selection. The screen, button tactility and band all feel top notch for a watch at this price point.Things that left me wanting: the software experience leaves much to be desired. I guess my specific needs for a smartwatch have found their way into the premium price segments, things that should be present in any smartwatch. I'll explain:Disconnects. The watch will disconnect from the host device [Nothing Phone (2)] seemingly at random. I change timezones often throughout a day. It's not ideal that the watch will disconnect and therefore will no longer poll current GPS data to make the change, creating confusing moments that make me have to overlook the watch and go back to my phone just to observe time. This could be solved by allowing users to select a default time zone [such as UTC] but that's not an option currently.Notifications. After seeing how obnoxious pure native notifications can be to manage, it was a nice change of pace to only see important notifications such as RCS/SMS and a handful of critical apps. However, while the app has access to my contacts, will never display the contact name. Rather, the number. Truly an oversight for a design focused firm.The face selection. Echoing the sentiment of multiple time zones above, none of the in-house faces offer this feature. For a professional [Pro is in the product name], this is not workable and is a common feature on analog or 'dumb' digitals. Again, a genuinely confusing oversight. They do look nice, mostly. There is the option to customize your watch face, but the options are stark and begs the question if it should even be a feature.I'm sure that with time and some hardware iterations, future CMF Watch Pro versions will join the sea of capable wrist companions. But as a first effort, this is a less than optimal entrant.I'll continue to support CMF/Nothing though, because I believe in their brand(s) and their leadership. It's refreshing. But if future products launch with this much turbulence, there is a plethora of competitive options to choose from both now and in the future to serve as viable safety nets.

Es un muy buen reloj, buena batería y buena pantalla, pero aún hay muchas cosas que se pueden mejorar

bien

I bought this for my dad. The watch looks great and is quite light. The display is superb, very clear to read and operation is simple, without fiddly little menus.The only downside was it came configured to Chinese and even I was left scratching my head initially. getting it to display in English. At first I hoped that setting up and connecting to the app would do it, but you have to navigate the watch to the language settings and once there, realise you're on a page that can be scrolled to see more familiar text characters and find your desired language.

A notification watch. Step counter, pulse meter etc is totally useless. Unfortunately this will be a dust collector laying on my night stand.

Contento con la compra,fácil de usar,buena conexión con mi Nothing phone 2,y me encanta la correa que es muy suave y cómoda en la muñeca y otra cosa que me gusta es la pantalla,buen táctil y buena iluminosidad,en general muy contento
