We are now in the second half of 2024, and it's safe to say the smartwatch market is now healthier than ever. We got new Galaxy Watches recently, while Google and Apple are about to release their annual smartwatch refreshes. , also released a new smartwatch relatively recently, albeit through its affordable CMF brand.
What will immediately strike you when you take the watch in your hands is just how lightweight it feels in comparison with other smartwatches. The CMF Watch Pro 2 weighs just 44gr, while theMade of aluminum that's as soft as velvet to the touch, the CMF Watch Pro 2 has a pretty intriguing design feature––interchangeable bezels. You can twist to remove the existing case bezel easily, exposing the screen, and put another bezel you can get from CMF.
After all, smartwatches can achieve up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness these days. In bright daylight, the interface was mostly legible, but a higher brightness would have made the whole experience that much more better.In terms of software, the CMF Watch Pro 2 comes with its own rather rudimentary OS that covers all the basics, but doesn't have an app store or allow you to install apps.
During workout tracking, you get an informative and data-rich interface that lets you monitor your pace, distance traveled, overall time, heart rate, steps, calories, as well as control music playback on your phone. Sadly, there's no NFC or wireless payments on deck. The lack of those on such an affordable device is understandable, but it would have certainly made the CMF Watch Pro 2 an even more enticing buy. While the 305mAh battery probably doesn't suggest that, this one will last you nearly 11 days of typical use. That's spectacular, but wait until we get to the ultra-power saving mode, which will keep things up and running for 40 or so days.
You can make and take phone calls with the CMF Watch Pro 2. The audio quality is adequate, good even as per smartwatch standards. There aren't many alternatives to the CMF Watch Pro 2 in this price niche. At around $70, you may stumble upon a plethora of no-name smartwatches of suspicious overall quality.
