Smartwatches are a PREMIUM accessory that can cost hundreds of dollars after you’ve already spent hundreds (or thousands…) on your smartphone. CMF is trying to change that with their new sub-$100 Watch Pro 2. With a pretty decent spec list and a minimal style, will this change the smartwatch accessory market for the better?

Just bought the watch instead of updating my Apple Watch 6.
Was excited, until I started the tracking accuracy. Nothing has been tracked correctly. Sleep is way off, stress is way off, heart rate is way off…..you get the point.
Still a cool cheap watch, but if you are wanting for the tracking, spend the money.
Those pairing with iPhone, do you get notifications??
you can get cheaper smartwatch way before this ever launched. The title is extremely clickbait
No call display when someone is calling?
bought it and turns out it can measure heart beat of an apple
Can I see google maps on it?
lol nice try
ATTENTION ALLERGIC PEOPLE WITH WATCH PRO 2!!!
Unlike the first model from 2023, this CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2 from 2024 can give you contact allergies. According to Nothing, you already have the charging pins with a nickel finish. The buckle is unknown. In my case, this being in contact with the epidermis of the wrist, I had a rather unpleasant allergic reaction. All this combined with the heat and sweat of the summer. The brand, faced with this problem, gave me a surreal solution. In conclusion, I proceeded to return it. In 2024, the use of components that harm health in a product of this type is out of context.
Greetings.
6:00 GPS on device itself is very surprising ❤
Prison from Ghana how can I get some
2:34 YK WHAT ELSE IS MASSIVE LOWWWW TAPER FADEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I love the design of this watch. Wish it had an actual Pro version.
I would get it if it had google pay, sadly it doesn’t
I don’t like proprietary cable(s). It should change thru a cradle.
cmf cant stop cooking
You hating on a $69 watch
It’s an oversized NOTHING with buggy proprietary software, notifications nightmare, random disconnects, fingerprints and scratches collector and all in all – quite an expensive NOTHING Aliexpress scum grade.
Silicon strap? That seems impractical
The really frustrating thing with smartwatches nowadays is how they charge you $300 for the watch and then hold their hand out for a monthly subscription to get all of the features. Like, GFY Fitbit/Oura/Whoop/etc that want $6-10/mo. I don’t own a smartwatch yet, and if it’s going to come with yet another SaaS, I’m just not going to do it. I lived my entire life without it, it’s not worth it.
With the last Firmware it takes seconds to find GPS and not almost one minute.
can i control my Spotify through that watch?
this is one of the best designed watches ive seen
I received the watch it’s nice and all and it has a lot of cool features, especially the control of your music, but the connectivity to Bluetooth sucks its a hit-and-miss depending on how far you’re from your phone.
Picked this up during black Friday deals for just €45, and I’m loving it!
As a Srilankan Budget watch also expensive 🙁
The reason why nobody is trying to make a smartwatch at that price point (near 100 bucks) is because that will cannibilize all the premium watch users.
Like other than the basics, you don’t really need anything special in your watch. Except maybe IP rating
Not to expensive because it doesn’t run wear os.. basically the same as fitness band..
no smart watch is smart without NFC
I’m always glad when companies give me a USB-A cable instead of USB-C. All my phone chargers (also the fast ones) are USB-A. The only USB-C outlets in my house are on my PC 🙂
hello, do you know if it works with iphone?
I love the watch, but I hate the charger controversial opinion put a type C port on the side of the thing please I don’t wanna have to use multiple chargers anymore
Cmf watch pro 2 it’s a great smartwatch
I just want a watch for the gym, but dont want to spend daily wear money, this hits the sweet spot for that
In actual fact the watch is more expensive considering its functionality. This watch is just like kits name, it does nothing except telling time and the ui is just a mediocre
what is this hate against USB A? Ich have like 5 chargers with USB A. Should I trow them away because everyone thinks USB C is the new standard? Sometimes the Linus bubble doesn’t know what the consumer thinks and or want. I don’t need 150w to charge my friggin watch!
Those pairing with iPhone, do you get notifications??
The charger is not for me. It’s not even type c 😭👎👎
Health issues come from the disgusting junk food we eat and the lack of proper exercises.
The watch pro 1 was crap and it sucked. The app was buggy (but was getting better) but due to water seepage, it began to malfunction to a point where its display flickered and dull. The service wasn’t provided as it was water damage. Now i got Huawei watch GT 5 for $202 which costed 3.5x of the cmf watch pro.
I have one main request when it comes to a smartwatch: to be able to disable all RF. The second one is that the watch be able to function independent of a smartphone.
I wanted so much or the CMF Watch Pro 2 to be my everyday watch because of its beautiful aesthetic; it just looks so damn nice on the wrist, and it has really pretty watch faces (with matching always-on faces). But here’s where it fails for me:
1. You cannot set up the watch without the phone app; you can’t get past the second screen when you turn it on without it’s companion phone app (the first being language selection).
2. Once the watch is set up, you cannot disable RF/bluetooth. Well, you can, but only using power saving mode, which goes to a default single watch face and no other functions.
I want to disable the radio on this watch for multiple reasons:
1. for health
2. to extend the battery
3. I work with RF sensitive equipment
I would proudly keep it on my wrist if Nothing added an airplane mode, or whatever they want to call it, so that I can turn off the radio but keep the functionality of the watch the same. Most other smart watches have this feature. Also, allow me to setup the watch standalone, without needing a phone, and I’m sold.
Not me just ordering the new old Apple Watch Ultra 2 because it’s black 😂😅
I like this video 📸
I used samsung phone is galaxy fit 3 better than watch pro 2 or the other
ineed new glasses. I thought your where ltt until i saw the channel and squinted my eyes…
Doe’s it’s have always on display
Watch is trash! I don’t care how cheap this watch is. I had it. So many bugs. Dropped it once and it broke.
I just wish it had wifi
I have the TOZO S5 and love it. It all comes down to how much you want the thing on your wrist to act like the thing on your hip. I still prefer a classic tag heuer to a computer though.
ltt: oh wow it’s so cheap!!! also ltt: continues to bash this cheap watch for not having expensive stuff
