CMF BY NOTHINGWatch Pro Smartwatch,1.96'' AMOLED Display, IP68 Water Resistant Multi-System GPS Fitness Tracker with Health Monitoring, 13Day Battery Life, Dark Grey

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.6. GPS connects MUCH faster than the watch I had before costing 3X as much.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!Edit - I found I need to charge the watch every 6 days based on my usage. I'm very happy with everything about the watch after three months of use.Edit - July software update for my watch is a big improvement to the bluetooth connection and the display. Still really enjoying the watch every day.

First off, let's talk about the "Pro" tag attached to this device. A "Pro" device sets certain expectations around features and functions for a device. This is certainly NOT a "Pro" device in the traditional sense. You won't find an extensive list of apps. Nor the ability to compose messages to emails or notifications. What you do have, however, is a solid set of functions and build quality that do provide a bang for your buck.The build quality is great for this price point. I see no physical defects at all on my unit. It's super lightweight and comfortable to wear. The screen is absolutely beautiful. Text is crystal clear -- even the small text -- which allows for the watch to deliver a lot of information without all the scrolling. The battery life is outstanding: I've been wearing it for the past week (bought as a Christmas gift for myself) and still have 35% battery life remaining. This is with light casual use wearing it day and night. I did take several phone calls on the watch when my phone was in another room. I was impressed by the quality of the speaker and the distance the bluetooth connection was able to maintain.Things to be aware of: I have noticed it disconnecting from my phone fairly regularly -- maybe once or twice a day. Opening up the cmf app will quickly re-connect and sync data. Notifications are tricky to setup but work fairly predictably. The content of the notifications are quite limited; you only get the first 25 words or so. And there is no way to reply. One annoyance is the way they designed the UI. From the main screen, you can swipe left or right to access various "apps" -- weather, heartrate, activity tracker, etc. However, this is only a limited view of that data. To access the full app, you must access it through the apps menu. For example, you can swipe to see the CURRENT weather conditions, but if you want to see the 7-day forecast you have to go to the main menu, hit the crown button, scroll to the weather app and launch it there. Only then can you see additional details. It's like this for most of the apps. Other apps, I have to question the accuracy. For example, the sleep tracking is questionable. On New Years Eve, I was up past midnight yet the Watch Pro was convinced I was asleep well before midnight. One night it did not collect any data at all for some reason.Wrapping this up... If you're expecting a smartwatch with features rivaling Apple, Samsung, or Google, you won't find it here. I think this device is ideal for those who are new to smartwatches and don't want to drop hundreds of dollars to try it out. Or, if you're like me, and you just want something with basic functions with very long battery life.

The CMF by Nothing Watch Pro impresses with its clean, responsive AMOLED display, extensive fitness tracking options, and long battery life. The large screen is bright and sharp, although it lacks an ambient light sensor, which means you may need to adjust brightness manually depending on the environment. With 110 sport tracking modes and continuous health monitoring for heart rate, sleep, and SpO2 levels, it covers the basics well for casual users. However, for more detailed sports tracking or advanced features like Wi-Fi or contactless payments, this watch falls short of higher-end alternatives.The battery life, advertised as lasting up to 13 days, is excellent in theory, though more intense usage (like GPS and 24/7 heart rate monitoring) will require charging every five days. The Bluetooth calling feature works smoothly, and the watch pairs easily with its companion app on Android and iOS. That said, GPS accuracy for longer runs could be improved, and the magnetic charger could use a stronger connection. Overall, it’s a well-rounded smartwatch with great value for the price but could benefit from a few software refinements.
