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

the watch is definitely worth the price!!! easy to use, the appearance is beautiful, very light and the battery is amazing, it lasts for a very long time on one charge, just as the manufacturer describes, it is true 👏 I am very pleased with this product and I recommend it to anyone who appreciates the appearance, batteries and price 100% the product meets this 👌

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.

I'm a watch collector and a tech geek. I really haven't ever bonded with any smart watch I've tried, but for some reason this one has been different.

The battery life is impressive - lasting about 3-4 days between charges. Initially, the watch was a little buggy, not connecting to record steps/show notifications, but an update just a few days ago fixed that.

The watch feels well made. The aluminum case is a nice touch, the OLED display is vibrant and snappy. The watch does everything I need it to at a well below $100 price point.

Try one! You'll enjoy it!

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.

This watch is very good for the price it is at. The os is smooth and easy to navigate and the battery life is amazing. It is also very light and comfortable to wear. Perfect companion for the Nothing phone.
