CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2 smartwatch review

If only because the basic box only includes a silicone strap for the watch, along with the magnetically snap-on, 2-pin charger and the manual, but you can't expect anything more in this price range.

On the other hand, I found the pharmacy quality to be good, I didn't find anything to complain about in the aluminum-framed watch,

although I think the inscription “CMF by Nothing” makes everyone smile. The overall effect is great, and few companies can convince the consumer that this is a very premium product like Nothing the CMF. 44 mm in diameter, depending on the design Weighing 44-48 grams The watch is neither small nor large, it will look good on average feet, it is not uncomfortable to wear, but there is no fabric strap model, So in the summer, the skin under the silicone strap can sweat, and my wrists got red from it too. Here you can find the PPG sensor, which is responsible for displaying blood oxygen levels and heart rate, and the speaker, through which you can make calls, but there are no "fancy things" like ECG measurement.

However, there is a casing that meets the IP68 standard, meaning the watch can withstand being submerged in water up to 1,5 meters deep for 30 minutes.

Plus, the manufacturer supposedly subjected the product to all sorts of rigorous tests. It can withstand cold and heat, it can withstand salt spray – I think this is the corrosion test – but even the right-hand rotary button responsible for navigating the menu can withstand 50 presses. However, it has not been certified for 000/5 ATM pressure resistance, so even though the watch supports 10 sports – a lot of which I haven't even heard of – you can't swim with itInterestingly, not all of these activities are listed in the menu; you can "upload" the ones you want to access to the watch from the app.

The front is bordered by a 1,32-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466×466 pixels,

which is a lot, Amazfit GTS and Redmi Watch owners may cry. The panel brightness is 620 nits, refreshes at 60 Hz, this is considered good in this category and so the flashlight function can also be used well. The look With 100+ watch faces can be varied, most of them follow the retro futuristic line, there are a couple of very cool pieces. However, I didn't come across any quick button variants, but you can edit your own unique ones in the CMF Watch app.

The CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2 is charged using the usual USB cable.

It charges a 305 mAh battery in about 100 minutes, which is enough for 11 average days.

Whatever this means, it took me about 9 days because I didn't run it all the way through, which eats up electrons a lot, so maybe the 25 hours of GPS time more telling data. People are usually happy with a marathon completed in 4 hours, and that makes 6, so you don't have to count on charging that much. This is the advantage of closed sports watch systems, in return, you couldn't install apps on it, like on a TicWatch, for exampleOf course, hybrid watches like the Amazfit Balance also handle apps and last a long time, so there is already a solution on the market that combines the two advantages fairly well, but they don't cost that much.

The navigation of the watch is quite straightforward, it works like pretty much all similar products. Swiping down brings up the settings menu, swiping up brings up notifications, Moving from left to right and right to left takes you to the circular menu. This includes call data, music control, daily movement values, and weather. You can bring up the function menu with a single scroll button, and scroll up and down within it. The content is essentially the same as what you find in the app, so it's worth approaching things from there.

For those who weren't alive then, the magic of novelty that CMF is taking on with all its might will surely strike them. I really liked that its menus are transparent, However, it takes about a week for it to generate enough data to display training load, proper sleep data, or stress level. It knows quite a lot:

• pulse and blood oxygen level measurement
• daily activity data: steps, calories burned, elapsed time, number of stand-ups
• stress level
• sleep data
• menstrual cycle
• activity scoring (no PAI here like Amazfit or Xiaomi)
• training load (and the necessary recreation time)
• starting a sport (with configurable goals such as distance, time, calories, etc.)
• clock face replacement
• personalize sports list (out of 120 sports, about 10 can be added to the menu)
• setting reminders like drinking water or standing up
• adding contacts to the sports watch for making phone calls
• customizable labels in each watch menu
• call notification
• world clock and alarm clock
• quick replies to messages (these are in English by default, but you can also add Hungarian or rewrite the English messages)
• adding reminders
• music control

What quickly becomes clear about the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2 smartwatch is that it is not that strong on the sensor front.

Gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, PPG sensor, microphone with speaker and that's about it. Excluding the BT 5.3 wireless connections, it does not have any other transmission – ANT+, WiFi –, so the more advanced features are completely missing from the watch. Many will be sad to see no NFC, so you can't pay with it, no serious training support, connection of external sensors, eSIM, backup storage for music, and data transfer to external processing platforms – e.g. Strava – is also not possible. There is a light sensor, however, Skipping one of the most annoying things you can do in gym class, fortunately that's not the case here.

However, there are two extras that many will like, I'll start with the less useful one, the by calling from your wrist. In 1980, this was indeed how they imagined the future, but in practice, talking to your hands is a bit of a clumsy solution, but there are times when it comes in handy. However, it annoyed me several times that I couldn't reject the call even though it came in.

Much better than this is the notification management that correctly displays the entire Hungarian ABC,

to which thisyou can set predefined responses, and you could respond to everything with the push of a button. This is still rare today, and I think it's a pretty important feature, one more argument in favor of the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2.

Before anyone thinks that the aforementioned shortcomings are huge flaws, they are not at all, all competitors have about this much or less. The Watch 2 Pro is no worse than these, but it is still worth looking at a Redmi Watch 4-5 and a Xiaomi Watch S3, which are available at a similar price.
