Shout out to Cheapside, London. 😄
funny thing is that ‘Cheapside’ is in the City of London (Square Mile), right next to St Paul’s Cathedral… It’s actually a SUPER capitalist, rich area
Lol
if anyone's wondering, since this video's release, theyve added 12 hour time, imperial units support in general, and it's got iphone support too.Been using mine for about half a month now and asside from some connectivity issues (solved by opening the app) it's been pretty great
do we need to always open the cmf app to make it fully functioning or we can close the app and open it again when we got some connectivity issues ?
hey tnx ! How is the battery life ?

Loved that you did a review on this, hoping you'll do more reviews on budget friendly devices rather than only the elite ones
I agree that he should do more budget friendly devices. but i think he should still only stick to the ones that really stand out from the rest.
which is what he does right now.
you've got this, he did one on the pocophone f1, he reviewed the mpow headphones.
those are devices that really have something that differentiate them from other budget tech.
so he does review budget tech, but he is more selective. i think instead of doing 1 or 2 budget devices each year, he should do 5 or 6.
but he needs to still stay selective.
there are great channels that do high quality reviews of budget tech. i used to follow a couple, back when i was going trough a financial rough patch, and couldnt afford premium phones that werent 4 years old.
but to be honest, when you can afford premium tech, the budget options are not an option anymore. because you give up a lot of things when you go budget.
the cameras always suck, screen quality sucks, processor speed sucks, and you start to appreciate the premium stuff again.
but there is a need for low budget tech when you're counting every dollar you make. but once youre back on your feet, all the budget tech blends together.
dont get me wrong, i still enjoy a great deal on a low budget item. but it has to really stand out from the rest. just like mpow headphones did back before they got cancelled.
the pocophone f1 was a great budget device with premium features, but a tech item, has to be at that level of price advantage for me to even consider it anymore.
if I want something cheap, i just look for a used premium item that is 1 or 2 years old.
These things are not a smartwatch, its a fitness band like FitBit in a watch case. It doesn't have an OS and neither is it smart.
@@anuranangogoi9741 yea I know that. I was talking about gadgets in general here.
He doesn't review "only the elite ones" many of his reviews are on non-High end devices.
@@NopWorksscrolled the past 5 months and its literally only about extremely premium products.
Are some exceptions of not applicable videos
Got the same smartwatch and I totally agree with your points. This is absolutely a bargain for those looking for basic functionality without breaking the bank. Not gonna lie, it does feel a bit plasticky, but for the price, it's worth it.
Is this a marketing bot account? Bcoz I highly doubt general public buying it before even a famous youtuber popularized it. Nobody knew much about this brand to trust it with their money.
@vikrraal my brother Some people Just search smart watch and then sort by low price definetly Possible to buy this before seeing this video.😂😂 listen to yourself
@@ruby_fireleader I don't think it's impossible. But it's highly unlikely. A new brand without much reviews and priced higher to it's competitors. I don't know. Let's see what op of the comment responds.
@@vikrraal Its already out for the public and NOTHING has been around for a bit now and has a big following so there is deff a lot of peopel that picked it up the day it dropped
@@vikrraal Honestly, NOTHING grew really quickly, many people like the style, and it's extremely popular for it's age. I'm sure people who have the phone or the earbud would've heard news of this watch early, and gotten it. I do agree on one thing though: let's see what the op says.
Nice review, Marques. This looks very similar to my Wyze 47, which has worked flawlessly for 2+ years. I don't use constant heart rated monitoring or raise to wake, so a full charge is good for 2-3 months. Some good value to be had in these budget friendly devices!
As a fellow Wyze 47 watch user, this also gave me major comparisons to this. With the Wyze being $30 vs $69, but with added features with this watch, it gives me second thoughts to upgrade to it. As Wyze doesn't seem to release or update our watches any more.
Same thoughts here, but while this keeps working, I'll be using it 🙂 Though, replacing the band on my current watch seems to be an issue (unless I want pink...)
A Casio is always enough
Nothing can replace what the Pebble did. Simple UI for simple commands, and it did them all perfectly. Always on display and the battery life lasts a week. It was amazing.
I still use mine switching between different watches for various reasons. But as far as smartwatches go my Pebble Steel Time gets more wrist time than any other smartwatch I have.
But doesn't have auto brightness
@@richenjoshi7054 hunh, I never noticed. I've never once thought I wish this was brighter, or I wish this was darker. Might have to give it a go tmrw and see why I don't notice that compared to say my Samsung ones, or my Garmin.
@@richenjoshi7054 Pebble watches use e-ink display, they don't need auto brightness
@@richenjoshi7054it was an eink display. Those are highly visible indoors and arent bright outdoors since they use natural light for brightness. Honestly for a lot of people eink was perfect for a budget smartwatch.
OMG Marques! Absolutely love a budget or mid range video, that makes technology more accessible to the chatter class
OMG?
The “chatter” (chattering) classes are the middle class and they can afford an Apple Watch.
Maybe in America
This is smartband not smartwatch
Lmao wtf is a chatter class?
I don't think you know what chatter class means
I'm still using a smartwatch cost me $9 to provide all these features, obviously Chinese for 1.5 years now! The best thing about cheap tech is you don't care much about its aesthetic and beauty and can use it rough.
For the use case, I get at least 7-9 days on a single charge. Although I wear it roughly 2 hours a day, it's always on. It connects extremely well with other devices. And I think that's the best use case - to control with your watch ~ like phone notifications, cutting a call (still don't know why Apple doesn't allow people to cut their phones if the phone is locked), changing music, and the step counter.
What watch?!
@@Kieran6spdm a lot of brands in Indian market ~ from brands such as Noise, Bolt, Ninja, Boat etc
I've had a Dafit watch for a couple of years. It was about $30 and is still going. It has a mesh/magnet band that I like, although it also came with a plastic band. Its supposed to do heart, O2 and sleep functions, but I don't know how accurate they are. I charge it once a week and it just keeps on going.

Got the black CMF Watch Pro almost a couple months ago and am loving it. Incredible watch.
I'm Canadian and ordered it from Amazon US and got it in a week.
Build quality feels very premium, UI is beautiful and extremely fast, phone calls work flawlessly, music controls are handy and battery life for me using the watch all the time has been lasting at least a week, hasn't died on me yet anyways.
Definitely looking forward to some updates as the watch has lots of potential.
Was that your first smart watch?
Does it work on iPhone
@@AmandeepSingh-yp8ujyes i am using CMF watch Pro witth iPhone
Nice review. Curious how accurate the sensors and technology in the budget package are. If there was a side by side with Apple Watch/Garmin with some wear testing that would be awesome.
I think it would be less accurate, but not that huge, considering the huge price gap
@@kangkhalim6763 Yeah maybe not. I just think there's a lot of technology out now, specifically budget ones, that "check a box" of having a feature. But when they don't work well I think it's just producing trash. It entices people to buy it, it doesn't work, and they throw it out.
You'd think Nothing would do some due diligence, but they're not putting their name on it, they're putting CMF's name on it to not hurt their own brand.
It’s accurate bro
Other youtubers have compared the watches in a scientific manner. See The Quantified Scientist. The CMF is not accurate at all.
Well, smartwatches aren't a real tools to measure health anyway, but as a benchmark on how to improved yourself from day to day. If you want a real accurate readings just buy a real medical equipment, there's so many factors that make smartwatches less reliable than the right tools, especially in form factor.
This is the kind of content I want to see, affordable product reviews. Appreciate this so much!!! ☺☺☺☺

@@SpunkyGo0sedo you think people who buy budget cheap products are 'broke' ?? you have serious problem dude😅
People buy products that are useful and convenient fot them. If a cheap product that meets people's needs, then why would anyone spend more than that just 'prove' they are NOT BROKE...
People who buy cheap or budget products are not 'BROKE'. Grow up kid😅
You would be amazed at how many smartwatches there are outside the US and cheaper than this one too
LMFAO I thought the same thing. There are so many cheap smartphones, smartwatches and earbuds which are actually good and us people dont even know about them😭
At work they gave me a cheap $20 smart watch that has a lot of the same features/issues this thing does and also has a suspiciously similar charger lol
@@p5ychy normally because in countries like the USA, we have a negative outlook on cheap electronics. Cheap is only ever considered for food and clothes but electronics is not one of them. You’ll even find most of the low-income families owning a couple of Apple devices. Or at least the more prestigious Android smartphones as an alternative.
Even when I was 13 years old, most kids around me had an iPhone. None of us were rich. It’s weird if you ask me but quite normal. And if you were caught with a cheap smartphone or smart watch, anything that isn’t Apple or Samsung, you would be bullied lol.
@@sandwhichbagYeah, thats why europeans make fun of the yankies lol

And the watch is basic, nice fit and finish, love the analog watch face, very smooth & responsive and pairs perfectly with the Nothing Phone, no complaints at all.
Do you feel like you'd better end up with retro gaming console instead of this?
The only thing I'D personally miss would be the app and watcface support. I'm not even sure if this has a store at all.
Also I don't know about the accuracy, I'd have to wait until a scientific review comes out from the quantified scientist

So it's not far off being a Pebble watch for the modern age. I'm good with that, still rocking my Pebble 2 for pretty much the exact functionality this thing offers, I don't need apps, I just wanna be able to see notifications and control my music. Perfect.
Amazfit Bip is Pebbles spiritual successor. Only with 28 days of battery life and cheaper.
How about a miband? Also a lot more subtle design.
@@dekaaizer2550vertical display isnt that great…pebble has circular
I would agree minus the battery life. If what he said was true and this thing was able to get the 13-14ish days without turning on battery saver, then it would be much closer to pebble in my mind. It was the simplicity plus the battery life that I loved about my pebble.
Glad to See old Pebble Users here. Mine died so i switched to Amazfit BIP and later GTS.
Hi, thanks for making the best videos out there! You always seem to surprise me with your eye for detail and the effort that goes into your videos. I would like to make one suggestion: Could it be possible for you to include a low budget category in the next smartphone awards? For example below $250. I like the value category, but feel like it would be a great addition to the video. Partly because I own a phone within this category and probably the next one will also be similar. However, mainly because worldwide it is a very important segment in my opinion as most people do not have a lot of money and like to have a smartphone. For example in Asia, the below $250 segment makes up a very significant percentage of the total smartphone market.
Best regards, Daan.
Thank you for reviewing budget friendly tech!
I would've liked to see the accuracy of the health monitoring data compared to the Apple watch. I was waiting for you to mention it. Surprised you didn't include that.
almost certainly it's going to suck. Similarly priced smart bands like Mi Band 8 aren't really that great in anything but the simplest scenarios (like running on a treadmill).
Me and friend got it a week ago. Sleep and heart rate has been very accurate for both of us. You can’t silence calls though( only accept and reject).
@@sandeepshankar1813"Very accurate" compared to what?
Doing proper sleep tracking requires a lot more than checking your heart rate every now and then.
There is a good scandinavian youtuber who does accuracy tests. I wouldnt really trust mkbhd with accuracy informations since he doesnt do methodical testing, only anecdotal.
@@plissk3n1337 Who is this? Thanks.
It's measurement sensors might not be accurate but for that price it definitely sounds fun
They did have a pretty consistent heart rate measurement, but it was slower and typically slightly a lower reading than my Apple watch during the same workout
@@mkbhd Can you please ban the word "AMK33X" from your comments? The bots are absolutely pummeling this scam here, and someone;s going to get suckered eventually into this crypto scam.
Hey @mkbhd, I've been a fan for a while, but I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with this video. I dropped a more detailed comment on your $169 phone video too. I respect your position as one of the top tech reviewers globally, but there seems to be a gap in your understanding of affordable devices, especially those used by people daily in places like India.
It would be fantastic to see you explore tech from different parts of the world, especially considering the remarkable yet budget-friendly devices available here. India, for instance, has some hidden gems that surpass the quality of what's featured in your recent video and are more pocket-friendly.
I understand you might focus on devices readily available in the U.S., but broadening your horizons could bring a fresh perspective to your reviews. Moreover, your take on EVs in a previous video left me wanting more. There's an impressive EV scene in India that's worth exploring, showcasing innovation and quality that might surprise you.
Come experience it for yourself; the love you'll get from the people here is unmatched. I'm confident that exploring tech beyond the U.S. market will provide a richer perspective for your audience. Looking forward to more diverse content from your channel!
@@iamdarshanmehtaig that's the price to pay for a creator in the US, most Chinese devices are out of reach for you, be it phones or watches.
@@mkbhd that's impressive then because these so called smartwatches which comes under 70$ price are mostly just for show. Some popular smartwatch brands in my country are firebolt, noise and boat. They are basically fitbands in a smartwatch skin or a Bluetooth accessory. Pretty accurate but far from reliable. BTW Marques you should really do more of these budget reviews😅
*Only MKBHD can tease you with a random electronic in the background like that dope keyboard during a smartwatch review*
This is awesome! My 1st Smart watch (LG Urbane2) didnt even have a speaker on it. This is a great gift for the kiddos!
You attention to detail in your set and clothing is incredible! The black globe with the orange boxes? The black, grey/silver and orange/red pullover? All matching the watch? Even the pencil and the cloth! I love looking for these details!
The uneven bezels are kind of a deal breaker for me
I agree, but a the same time its $69.
enjoy your $200+ watch 😊
@@MrPilot_moon they are very enjoyable indeed.
@@GadonSpace for 30$ more you can get a galaxy watch 4 and get a much better experience / more features. Or for less you can just get a smartband that does almost the same as this.
Like actually WTF
I am so glad this video poped up for me, ive been messing around with getting a smart watch just for basic health tracking and junk, and all of the ones i tested out were either super unresponsive/unintuitive or cost a fortune. This one was cheap enough i was willing to risk buying it without trying it and it is all i need in a smart watch and really nothing else. And its battery life is so nice.
I have the mate grey, never regret to buy one, just love how this is not just another chinese smartwatch, it has personality, even the app on mobile.
I think as much as nothing tried, amazfit absolutely smashed this market with their smartwatches. The build quality is solid, battery life lasts for 20 days and have the pairing reliability to give up my wear os watch and never go back.
Is there any of their smartwatches you'd recommend?
I agree. I’ve had an Amazfit Bip U Pro for a while and it’s as budget friendly as it gets. While they run the same OS, they’ve definitely come a long way and is definitely way more accurate and battery efficient than my Apple Watch 3. The GTR 2 and POP3R is a good VFM.
LIGE and LEMFO are worth a look as well ... I have a couple of both and they are like Casio and Timex had a love-child of the indestructible type.
is there anything you wish it did better? or find annoying? like I would be annoyed with this watch having to keep the app open on my main device for certain functions to work. I'm wondering if he could change the app priority so that it would just stay open in the background, but then of course it's using more battery & RAM on the main device to keep the app open in the background
But the UI design on the CMF watch is 10x better.
I'm genuinely curious about the infrastructure powering Amazon's AMK33X. It's as if they've constructed an unseen digital architecture that's about to become central to our existence.
CRYPTO SCAM BOT DETECTED
Scam alert
I've used Bip U Pro and Bip 3 Pro which are similarly priced. Seems to be very similar functionality wise.
Wyze Watch…. Similar price and function …. Have one, 3 years now. Love it. No sound though, just vibration.
The issue is my opinion could be the accuracy of those tracking features ,having tracking features is not enough imo as they are unusable if they are not accurate ,so I hope someone would test the accuracy of their tracking features because it can make a big difference having accurate tracking features.
The Quantified Scientist normally tests watchers and fit bands, so is a nice way to have "more serious" data about the consistency/veracity of their readings.
There's a RUclips channel dedicated to reviewing smart watches. Just forgot the name, but surprisingly there are some watches that are better than others despite being cheaper.

Great Review Bro, really like your content.
Also, what do you think of rings with similar qualities?
i use a skagen denmark hybrid jorn. It is discontinued but i think you can used ones for the same money. I dont like how reliant the cmf watch is on the smartphone. I think you are paying for the design with it and thats fine. I feel you can get better
I use the Xiaomi Mi Band 8 and it is fantastic. Can't take calls with it as it does not have a speaker or microphone but it gets charged once a week and still has 30% left when I do. Still does the heart rate/SpO2 and all of the other fitness stuff. Cost me $100 AUD. Definitely recommend.
It's 79 AUD now, converting it from USD.
I had the mi band, I recently changed to amaze fit bip 3, and its pretty much the same features as he is showing but without the speakers.
damn that's expensive, in Indonesia Xiaomi Smart Band 8 costs around $50 AUD
india there are too much smartwatches like this
Yep, happy with the Mi Band here too. It would still feel weird to me to have a conversation on my watch, so I totally don't miss that functionality! And it was easy to get a third party stainless strap at a decent price, a huge thing for me with any smartwatch because I get a rash from silicone and all the other materials pretty fast.
Nice pricing, and I hope CMF & Nothing will continue expanding their ecosystem to benefit more consumers 👌 it's always good to have more players in the field.
Hell yeah!

Hey. First time watcher and I wanted to say that I really respect this review because of your efforts to educate the viewer. You know enough about these products to tell me, someone who knows nothing, that this is not an inexpensive version of THIS type smart watch, and explained that there are really different tiers of smart watches. I didn't really realize that. I thought there were smart watches and then, maybe, watches that do smart things. I didn't really realize there are cheaper, less feature rich, but still good smart watches. Good to know, thanks.
Cheapside is a street in London’s financial centre, the City. Contrary to what the name would suggest to the American audience, it is a premium finance and shopping destination. Its name is actually a historic reference to the days when London streets were named after the markets and shops they held - like the nearby Bread St, Poultry St, Wood St and, my favourite, Love Lane.
I'm still rocking my Pebble Time Kickstart. I've tried Apple Watch series 3, a Garmin watch and a few others, but I keep coming back to my Pebble.
Simple, reliable, snappy [feeling, thanks to clever animations] and it still has multi-day battery.

I bought one for my son, you got exactly the same watch with many different brands on it and different apps and sometimes software, this is a generic Chinese cheap watch. Price from 25 up to 70 dollars, the watch crown here does work for navigation, like the apple on.😉 There is also one with software that looks like an Apple, clone. Thanks for the review!🙏👍
I bought one for $30 in Brazil, based on the Apple Watch Ultra, I sincerely was expecting something way worse, to use only as a watch, and it surprised me. For $30 🤯
It's mind boggling that people actually buy an ultra replica to use as a watch. There are so many better looking watches out there. The only reason to get the apple watch is for the sensors.
I think I got a similar one, it's an Apple Ultra knock-off for Android - $32 - and while it is a little basic, it does so much more that the one shown in this video, it looks good, does a pretty good job AND plays music as a party trick! AliExpress rocks!

Hey Marques! Great video - one thing I will mention though is that eight sleep has recently been restricting access to their API (which is commonly used by enthusiasts to make custom automations, etc) which has been disappointing to some members of the smart home community. Given that you mentioned some other comments to them I would really appreciate if you asked them to be more open about their API policies! I would be much more likely to buy a product from them if I knew they were friendly to the enthusiast community!
for instance, asking siri to heat the bed or setting up a custom automation to start heating/cooling the bed based on whether you are home and the temperature outside
I’ve had mine for a few days. Love the simplicity, this replaced my Pebble (RIP). It needs more watch faces, USA support for weather (Fahrenheit) and time (not 24 hours). And some additional big quirks on the iOS app.
This is actually just what I’ve been looking for, I just ordered one. I’ve been looking for a very basic nice looking smart watch. Thank you MKBHD
I think I bought one for 10 bucks and shows the time shows my text messages and my heart rate I love it very simple still works. I was really sad when it went up to $15 and now I think it’s like 20 something dollars but just a very cheap watch that I enjoy.
On the chep side of the smartwatchs, you should consider the Amazfit lineup. Well build, honest functions and great looking. (I use a GTS 4 mini)

Can someone name a single thing they do on their smartwatch that they can't live without?
No seriously, I spent $250 on mine and have spent the last 2 years trying to justify it to myself.
reason why I never buy a smartwatch even though it is hella cool
Notifications, especially call notifications. However, my watch was much cheaper than yours, so yours might have some other features.
The big thing for me is that it legitimately made me look at my phone less, which is a value gain. Timer, time, notifications, flashlight, etc that used to require I pull out my phone, can simply be accessed by the watch, which reduces the chance I then switch over to some social media or game.
I mean if you’re only buying things you can’t live without you won’t get a lot of stuff… I use mine to track exercises and check my progress, heart rate, weight etc… also really good for running, especially downloading songs to it and connecting earbuds and gps, so I don’t need to bring my phone when running. Other than that it’s slightly more convenient to check notifications. It’s also a really good alarm to wake up to, instead of an annoying sound, I just get a silent vibration on the wrist
My phone is always on silent mode
because I don't like recieving calls
but sometimes in silent mode I missout some very important calls.
So that's why I use my smartwatch to notify me about calls via vibration.
it's called the cmf watch pro for those who can't be bothered watching.
The coolest thing in this video is the daftpunk helpmet on the backgound. We should get a review of that!
Love the change of pace with a budget friendly video
Had a Samsung Smart watch for years - used it to tell the time and occasionally check my steps. When it died, I got a Wyze Watch for about $30 and nothing has changed ... other than the battery has lasted longer and so has the watch (only had to buy one replacement band after the last one was worn out).
Marques, would be great if you did a video explaining what extra advantage(s) Samsung and Apple watches have over a watch CMF by Nothing.
This is pretty cool! I didn’t expect it to be this good for this price.
I’m honestly so glad that you brought up the face that there are smart watches for sale that are on a budget friendly spectrum
Great watch! Its a good watch. Came across it in store the other day. Definitely would recommend it for anyone looking for an entry level smartwatch. However if you can spend a lil more money id advise going into the $200 range coz thats usually where the jump is between the base smartwatches and the mid range smartwatches. But definitely good for an entry for someone just looking for the basic functions as a companion watch.
Is it?
You don't even know how accurate the sensors are.
This is exactly what I want. I have Apple, Samsung and Fitbit and so far appreciate Fitbit the most because it lasts 4-5 days but their quality isn’t the best. The other two are fine during work hours but on the weekend it won’t make it to Sunday if I’m visiting family.
Please do more budget friendly reviews as well Marcus. Thanks
I'm shocked such a capable device exists for such a low price. It's amazing how far the tech has come.
Xiaomi, amazfit and few other brands have been doing this for years now.
"shockkkeddD" hahaahaha. Marketing bot
@@seepranavg um, no. I'm a real person. I guess you can't handle real reactions.
@@WindRipples- well you're certainly wrong.
You can buy a smartwatch with similar features at $12 in India
This is actually pretty good, has most of the basic stuff you need in a smartwatch, might check it out. Thanks for the great review as always!
Honor smartband is better for lower price.
@@techcloud2510can't do phone calls with that though
Pretty good compared to what?
Redmi Band 2 - 20$
The same functions with a smaller screen.
5-6 day battery.
Good manufacturing quality.
Hi you are my go-to person when I am checking out Tech so thank you, I am getting rid of my Apple watch, I just do not use all of its features, all I need it step tracking- Blood Oxygen - sleep- heart rate- did like the Fall Detection ( I am 65 ) don't want to wear one of the I have falling things. It would be nice if there was a tracker on there for my kids, that was a good thing about Apple. I would like to not spend more than 150.00 to 200 tops, could you tell me a good one? thanks
I recently got an Apple Watch Ultra clone from AliExpress for $10 and it had a much better metal body with Apple-like finish, much smaller screen bezels and wireless charging. Everything else like the UI, sensors etc sucked but the build quality was surprisingly good.
Every tech guru is raving about Amazon's AMK33X, but I'm here just trying to understand the basics.
Thanks for the excellent review. It seems less is more and more people should consider it. Personally I like the "nothing" simplicity.
I need the basic functionality in a smartwatch/smartband but would also like the ability to pay with it. Of course there are many of the cheap ones that have that function but how much can I trust with my bank details in such a watch? Would like to see if you could find a budget friendly smart wearable with nfc pay that is kinda trusted.
Smart to understand Amazon's AMK33X early, like Marques did.
What is the amk33x
Nice
Nice
The UI is clean and impressive
Like Ibuddy watch power unit hospital then hospitalist reasons is main components of medical equipment
I think a big win for this CMF watch compared to other budget watches (if the spec list is accurate) is that it has GPS built-in which is a deal breaker for me.
I'm in the uk and can't seem to find anywhere to buy it.
Ive been using the Amazfit Bip S for a few years now and its feature rich and looks better that the CMF. Im probably going to upgrade to the Bip 3 for £69 and looks to outclass the CMF in my opinion.
Yeah, that surprised me too. I like to keep GPS off on my phone except when I need it (mostly) to save battery life. So if I can do that and still have location function for the watch that would be cool. But I have a strong suspicion that the CMF app will ask / nag me about / or even insist that I also turn location on on my phone to use most location functions. That's the way these things usually work for whatever reason.
Goddam Marques has a resting hear rate of 48!!! Pro athlete
Bro is a dawg
That's not even that low...
@@trock781 it is pretty low.
Considering as you say they are simple bluetoothy devices, I wish they could make them slightly thinner if not so bulbous.
Looks like it has features I don't have on my Withings ScanWatch. Mainly calls and music control.
You could try mi band 8, its cheaper and has a nicer display (AMOLED, 60hz) and it runs and feels a lot smoother plus the battery is pretty good, 1 to 2 weeks it depends on how much you use it.
What's off putting about the mi band is the oval display. I've had the 3, 5 and 7 and the 3 has the best battery life (because it was a dot display).
I mostly used them for tracking my heart rate during workouts.
It was a good first smartwatch if you haven't had one but after a while I wanted a larger screen, so I went for budget ones that had that and so far it's got most of the same features as in this video.
You want accessories just do enough basic stuff and get out of your way. For me, I don't need my watch to replace my phone and distract me more easily.
@@markmywords3817 Same here I even wear them when I go for a swim and had no problems thus so far, didn't expect that for a product of this price.
I had the 6 and now the 8, switched to 8 because its a lot smoother, and for the oval display me personally I love it because its slick, and it doesn't stick out when I wear it in public.
MKB Cute there are so many good watches out it makes it hard but I like this watch.Nicely done.💯✌️
😂
Im still using Honor Magic Watch 2 for the last 2-3 years. It might last another 2 years. My best purchase ever imao, still lasts around a week with always on display.
I bought the apple watch ultra 2 a few weeks ago. Returned it. It was impressively uncomfortable. That sensor housing in the back of the watch dug in to my wrist. I loosened it, but it got unbearable. Even a week after i returned it, i still had a dull pain in my wrist from it. Such a shame because i liked the watch itself and also looked great
Weak genetics
@@TheCriticalArchitectdefended a trillion dollar company
😂
Wow...
All that soy I guess.
Love my U2. Ocean band is so comfortable I don't even feel it on my wrist. 3 days now it hasn't come off.
@aniketmahajan8422 Did you think your comment was smart and witty?
😂
He defended the company from what? He's right. But I don't believe OP ever owned an ultra 2. Most likely someone trolling because they can afford it. Either that or weak wrist.
Apple doesn't need any defending over their amazing apple watch ultra 2. It speaks for itself.
I love that you make sure your videos look good when zoomed to fill on iOS 😁
Its interesting, but its very bulky looking. My Mi Fit does the same stuff, but it's find my phone feature works and is overall smaller. It looks like its really trying to target the bigger Fitbit, which I can appreciate, but it also seems to fall way short and ends up competing with the regular Fitbits and that market where it is over priced and under-delivers. If they could bump the price up a smidge and make it a bit nicer to look at and fix the app, it could be a real contender.
Recently got Xiaomi Watch S1, Sapphire screen, 12 day bettery (i get 5-6 which i'm happy with) Genuine leather and the smell is amazing unboxing. $98 USD amazing value..
Finally a trusted review of the CMF Watch. Been waiting for this since i got my Nothing Phone 2 and can't sync DND with my Galaxy Watch 5 pro
