I've had this watch for a few months and I love it. Its not an Apple Watch / Google Watch or a Samsung Galaxy Watch killer. I have the red strap, silver bezel one, and everyone keeps asking who makes it and where can they to get one from. It has all the usual healthy, sports and fitness stuff, the CMF app is good no different than many other health apps. I've had no connection issues. Battery life is good, I can happily go 8-9 days without a recharge (pay attention, Apple, Samsung, Google) Micrphone and speaker works well to. Love it , love it, get one.
Ha, I live in Sussex south of London, and going up town to the one store would add at least 50% to the price travel cost wise, provided the train is running and not on strike. I'll wait till it's more available in the UK online. I do like its chunky vibe and look though :)
Hi there. Are you able to tell me whether this watch can connect to an external HR monitor such as the Polar H10 chest strap? Via Bluetooth I would think if possible...
The Cheap MF Watch Pro is currently available for as low as 37£ in India without any offers. With offers, it was available for just under £ 29. Bizzare how much extra people outside end up paying for such products.
Taxes, often the global version has a more premium packaging, sometime even extra accessories. You also have better warranty in the US/EU, I know in the EU the warranty has to be 2 years. But mostly we're geting ripped off, it should never double the price.
@ devices are not the problem but the software 99% of the time. I wouldnt buy anything cheap on aliexpress since you will get shady apps with it so i rather get only official brands like xiaomi etc :)
I've enjoyed this watch so far for the last 3 weeks. Yes it's simple compared to Wear OS or iOS watches, but does the watch factor pretty well. Usually get 10days off a charge. Looking forward to updates and fixes
What I want with a watch is maps and music without being connected to a phone, so I can go for a sprint in the morning. When Nothing comes out with such a smart watch, I'll be interested. For now, this watch is doing what an MiBand can do at half the price.
You could get a shanling M0 pro for music, strap it to anything you want i guess, its as small or even possibly smaller than a smart watch. Though that would also mean more things to charge and carry... And the price tag. Idk about maps tho, cant help on that
@@allenqueen yeah, but i kinda understand why it wouldn't be such a good i dea, it would be small, and hard to navigate I guess. And maybe a little heavy for the watches to display maps, like terrains and such.
My amazfit GTR2 (amazon watch) which I've had for 2-3 years now, has all of that, offline music (I think 2Gb or more storage although I use it for podcasts when running so storage aint an issue), maps, heart, stress, SPO2 and as many activities as you can shake a stick at. Maybe they just dont do that anymore as seem to think we all have ever present data and have money coming out of every orifice to pay for it! apologies for the orifice Mr cellular provider, I'm afraid its got nowt in the tank. :)
The Watch holds up to the Nothing Philosophy pretty well. Let the Tech fade into the background. Means for the watch. It kills some "I have to take my phone out of my pocket" scenarios. Time, Notifications, Music Control. Everything else is a bonus. Who ever is Tapping, scrolling, doin gestures through tiny menus for all those cool features and extras on his watch kinda didnt get it right. For those things you have a smartphone in your pocket. SmartWatches arent Toys, they aren't a replacement for your Phone.
i grabbed one a few weeks ago. Incredible isnt quite the term I would use to describe it. I can live without interactive widgets or replying to notifications on device, but maybe they could at least push an update that allows me to change the temp from C to F?
Nothing gonna chance, they say they gonna chance it but if its a sister company with the Nothing design wont be surprised if you get the update with nothing
@@jenilsoni9519 thats sucks pretty bad, the BT thingmore watches have and had in the past, sometimes youre phone , sometimes the watch. If you dont have a second brand phone pretty hard to find out!
That looks like it could be quite good. I'll hope to see it tested by the 'The Quantified Scientist' guy to see how well the sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring work. There are huge variations of how those work among different watches and trackers and I wouldn't consider buying anything without seeing real testing data because so many of them are complete and utter crap
I wish every smartwatch review did a few different HRM tests during the day by counting their own pulse using a timer. Correct HRM for me is the most important thing for a smartwatch and I've watched way to many hours of smartwatch reviews without anyone actually counting. Just saying "it has an HRM".
I like the watch. As it states and obviously it's not meant to replace an actual medical device. I use most apps and features when I can beacuse its convenient.
They will order certain parts in the tens if not 100's of thousands and they will all come from the same manufacturer. Probably get a better deal when you order with another brand 🤷🏾♂️
This watch is very similar to other cheap "smartwatch" from Xiaomi, Haylou, etc. They have similar feature set. CMF only design the casing and UI for aesthetic purpose (which i love so much btw) but this watch costs 80% more expensive that those others cheap smartwatches
@@michaelcorcoran8768 yes... it is very similar with other cheap smartwatch brand. Yes they do more things in re-skinning the UI and designing the case, but function wise it is very similar to much cheaper smartwatch
its funny how the sleep graph, notification design, and workout pause menu design are almost direct copies of huawei watches (not hating on the watch, it's just funny)
Curious as to what the battery life has been like for other Watch Pro owners. For me, the device has been great so far. I've had the device since Nov 20th and charged it for the first time just yesterday (Dec 3rd) when it prompted a low battery warning at 19%. BTW, I do not run the GPS or AOD and only remove the Watch Pro when I shower.
Nothing fancy, but i had the apple watch 8, ultra and even the google pixel watch 2. Still i love this the most out of all of them, thanks to the battery life. Take notes all other brands. Some people care about battery life and do not want to charge on a daily basis.
@@nitrobear although I used both and they both cost well more than 3x of what this one does I don't need nor ever use 80% of features they offer. the main problem with these is their shitty battery life. I always wanted a well made smart watch with very simple and very few health and fitness functions which I'd actually use, NFC, BT calling and a long lasting battery. nothing more. something like this one just a little bit better.
I wanna ask something Tech champ, all these phones and smartphone or any othe electronic communications devices, after unboxing or review here in UA-cam where do you usually take them do you sell them again or what 🤔, i have been wondering please
Using "Updates" and "Nothing" within the same sentence isn't something that goes particularly well. 😅 Always judge their products by 'what they are right now' and better forget about the 'what they might become'. Saves a lot of disappointment. Greetings from a ear(1) and phone(1) user. Just as a quick reminder: the phone(1) wasn't capable to use even one of its hyper-marketed 900 LEDs on the backside to inform about waiting/missed messages/calls until ONE YEAR after release xD Although I have to say I embrace the "keep it simple & solid" approach. Still catching me.
Is this just a rip off of the redmi watch 4 because it looks very similar, could you do a compare ofvthe 2 as the redmi watch 4 is only £20 more but looks more premium.
What's so incredible, the only thing that does correctly is the time, they even named the watch PRO 😂 yes the price is low but for unfinished product like this is actually high...
I'd love it if it had a flat screen, which it doesn't. Flat screen just looks so much more usable, premium. Never liked curved screens, the curved parts are functionless.
Kabaddi is a Indian sport where the teams try to tag each other out ..... gets pretty violent ..... a more violent version was used i ancient times for training and keeping soldiers fit .....
Very cool that they can get a product this capable down to this price, but that name is really awful and makes it sound far cheaper than it is. There is absolutely nothing "Pro" about it. It would be fine if there were 2 models and they named the more premium one the "Watch Pro", but as it stands it's very disappointing to see such a low effort name coming out a company all about creating products with cool aesthetics.
How long is the strap on these?? My problem with most of these is that it's always too short for my fat wrists. I'd need something that measures around 9 inches
@@craigandrew he did a leaked pic of s24 n rumored/speculation vid. Impossible to do review on an unreleased phone. Rumored Samsung event is Jan 17th. Prob see a review soon after.
Never used a smart watch before and dont want to spend hundreds of pounds on my first one, for this price and features its defo a good choice for a first smart watch.

You should check redmi band 3, In my opinion it’s a much better value and better overall.
