CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: In what can be termed as an effort to mark its attendance in the affordable smartwatch market, the sub-brand of Nothing, CMF, has launched its latest smartwatch, dubbed the CMF Watch Pro 2. The launch seems to target users, who usually prefer minimalistic watch designs that are free of complexities but do the job.

CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: Can’t get lighter

The device gives fresh vibes, weighing just 44 grams. Shedding a masculine aura, the CMF Watch Pro 2 offers a softer feel, being compatible with both men and women. It is comfortable to wear and barely noticeable when you put it on your wrist. The straps are easily removable, thanks to the simple pin buckle design. It is rated with IP68 protection, ensuring durability. You get two colour options for the leather bands- orange and blue.

Interestingly, the device also gives you the option to remove bezels, which completely changes the outlook of the device. However, the colour variants remain limited to dark grey or silver.

CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: Display with clarity

Featuring a 1.32-inch AMOLED display, it supports a refresh rate of up to 60Hz refresh rate with a 466 x 466-pixel resolution. It can notch a brightness up to 650nits. The UI appears with clarity, thanks to the resolution and the display size. Further, the brightness capabilities enable it to be used extensively in outdoor settings.

CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: Simplistic UI, easy to navigate

This smartwatch is easy to use, with a simplistic User Interface. The digital crown, located on the right side of the watch, lets you swipe up to access notifications, swipe down to get to quick settings, and swipe right and left to navigate to different functionalities. All these navigations can also be undertaken through the touchscreen. Users can also press the side button to reach ‘Settings’ and access the ‘Menu’ with all the functionalities. The CMF Watch Companion App further helps to use the device more effectively and is available on both Android and iOS.

CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: Betterment is always an option

Performance-wise, the CMF Watch Pro 2 is a satisfactory contender, if not the best. Nonetheless, we must be considerate of the segment it falls into. It might not be kept on par with premium watches but can easily be pitted against devices in its category.

The device provides basic health metrics, which can be judged suitable for beginners rather than fitness enthusiasts.

CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: Insanely durable battery

The battery life of CMF Watch Pro 2 certainly gives a run for money to its contemporaries and even the ‘premium’ devices worth multiple times its price. If you keep the always-on display mode on, it generally lasts for 5 days. However, Nothing claims it to be offering an 11-day of whooping backup, which more or less may turn out to be true if you are not a big fan of always-on display.

CMF Watch Pro 2 Review: Worth for bucks

The CMF Watch Pro 2 is an overall good performer and worth the bucks, covering all the basics, including decent battery life, pleasant aesthetics, and competitive pricing.
