Unboxing / First Look of NOTHING CMF Watch Pro 2 / Buds Pro 2!

[@jamesburris8456]

I'd be curious to see your thoughts on the watch. I recently picked one up for very little and have been very impressed (given the price). For me the GPS has been suprisingly good, the watch faces are well designed, the display and UI is very good. The app experience has been decent albeit a bit buggy leaving the HR being my only concern. Cadence lock galore in the first 10 mins of all runs, afterwards great. So impressed that you look at these other lower profile smartwatches.

I'm watching listening at my CMF buss pro 2 😂

[@BilloBob1231]

Well garmin release a 1300 euro beta product with a speaker that doesn't work so for 69 euros this is a winner

[@paulkline3011]

🤣

[@UrbanArmed]

LOL I laughed at this.. so freaking true sadly.

[@YppenplatzBasketballAssociatio]

True Story 😂😂

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Have you updated to the latest firmware? They've basically fixed everything at this point. This conversation is in the past.

[@mikem4215]

Lol true

[@Lun4rVisi8n]

Yes, definitely interested in a full review as there have been reports of reliability issues with the watch as far as gps and staying connected. Would like to see if these were resolved with recent updates! Thanks for taking time to show what each product is like even on an unboxing first impressions video. Haven’t seen this much of the products being used

[@jswong8200]

Please test the latest Huawei Watch GT5 and GT5 Pro if possible, particularly on how well they do with sports, with and without external sensors. Maybe even compare it/them with the Amazfit T-Rex 3? Thanks!!

[@TheOfficialDuBsTeC]

Just upgraded from my Watch 2 to Watch 5 and im pretty happy and software wise (yeah its similiar) pretty impressed how nice it feels and looks now - like a "real" Smartwatch before the software on my older watch 2 felt a bit meh and cheap. Still not a FULL Watch like an Apple Watch but for the Price? Yeah and the sensors on Huawei Watches are always pretty accurate on the better side.

[@JayDee-b5u]

@@TheOfficialDuBsTeC What makes it not 'full'?

[@TANKSTECHTALK]

I have both and love them both

[@ChaseTheSummit]

What do you think of the health tracking bits on the watch?

[@TANKSTECHTALK]

@@ChaseTheSummit is okay could be better

[@tnan123]

Seeing both the high end as well as the low end of the gps watch category is always interesting

[@АлексейКоваленко-ш4з]

Pls, try to test Huawei according with sport watches Garmin or Suunto😊

[@tennoframe]

there is also the cmf neckband pro 2 that you should look into, I'm using it and it's good, can dual connect android+ios, has low lag, and anc/transparency

[@ahmelmahay]

it does have tapp to wake double tab has to be enabled

[@sxhrgvs]

Seems like great value for money in both cases. Makes you wonder about the mark-up on garmin or Apple. Will be good to see how they perform in a run etc. nice one.

[@awall287]

Well the speaker sounded better than my F8 for phone calls.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Yep, but your Fenix 8 is dive rated. This watch can't even be submerged in shallow water.

[@voidwalkerai1489]

Great video as always, glad to catch it so early Would love to get the headphones, looks interesting

[@Ibexx7]

Bro you should have used DIRAC tuning

[@ahsanabdurrahman5099]

NIce First Look 😇, Will you do a full Review of this smart watch in the future, sir?

[@yotavares]

This is basically a full review.

[@blackhawk69100]

Can honestly say don't bother with the watch if you want even mild Accuracy. It's terrible for training. But then you wouldn't expect it to be good at this price point. As a basic smart watch however it's worth the money. The buds pro 2 on the other hand I think deliver great sound quality and features for the price. I use them as a backup, but that's because I use airpods mostly.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks for sharing. My expectations are low for GPS/HR accuracy but we'll see! YES! The buds are surprisingly good.

[@blackhawk69100]

@@ChaseTheSummit I kinda do have to question a watch that records a heart rate of 68 when it’s not even being worn. But for sure it’s going to be interesting to see your results and how accurate you find it.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

@@blackhawk69100 that can happen if you're near a light source that has a flicker frequency close to that of a heart rate. Even expensive watches can exhibit that strange anomaly! But yes, I need more testing on this one.

[@scriptosaurusrex]

Super interested in how well the watch performs out and about. As a watch it seems great! I really think watches are absolutely overpriced nowadays (everything has a premium price, for no premium reason besides 'they can'). We need more disruptors like Carl Pei (founder of oneplus and nothing) to remind people we are being ripped off. Market rate does not equal good value. Coros kinda did this too, but admittedly I feel they have stagnated a bit.

[@blackhawk69100]

@@scriptosaurusrex I’ve had the watch pro 2 for nearly 2 months. It’s not accurate by a long shot. In fact for me personally HR on a run was shockingly bad. Says I didn’t get over 145bpm, but according to my polar H10, I peaked at 172bpm. The correlation between both didn’t watch at all. Sleep tracking was fairly accurate I will say. Most tech is over priced but there’s a limit to how cheap you can go. Pro 2 is fine as a cheap watch to measure general vitals with a pinch of salt. But it’s best used as a smart watch really. On that front it’s good value for money.

[@scriptosaurusrex]

@@blackhawk69100 thank you for sharing your experience.

[@shohibwijaya7904]

how does it perform on GPS activities?

[@georgevadnais3516]

Can we pair a heart rate device ? Like a armband heart rate or a chest strap ?

[@sebastiento9695]

Highly doubt, it's $69

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Nope

[@tudorp2610]

On Xiaomi S3 you can change the bezel.

[@rakanRawashdehm]

I was pay it before 14 days 🎉🎉

[@newsnetworkz]

Thanks Dave, seems watch pro 2 impressive and btw is it iPhone 16 or Pro that you have ?

[@ChaseTheSummit]

iPhone 15 Pro

[@newsnetworkz]

@@ChaseTheSummit cool, I am staying with my 15 Pro Max 😜 not impressed by 16 yet due to apple's AI delays...just in wait and see mode ..anyhow 15 Pro's support AI to most part

[@ChaseTheSummit]

@@newsnetworkz my main reason for staying with the 15 is the size. The 16 pro got larger and likely won’t fit in my running shorts lol.

[@newsnetworkz]

@@ChaseTheSummit yup, 👍 16 Pro increased its weight to 199g even though its dimensions are pretty similar to 15 pro except screen estate from 6.1 to 6.3 with slimmer bezel, needles to let you know you being pro and reviewer of phones now a days 🤣🤣

[@thakurpankaj151]

Hey man can you do a review of the galaxy fit 3?

[@adityamullapudi6708]

The watch has double tap to wake feature

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Mine doesn't seem to!

[@adityamullapudi6708]

@ChaseTheSummit Did you check in display & brightness settings?

Nice sweater

[@scotthavel1273]

When are we getting a new episode of the podcast?

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Soon! I’ve been working on a bit of a format change. Stay tuned!

[@MarcoPolo82]

Do a test of a Huawei Watch!

[@bigpop1996]

I guess you can't use an external Bluetooth heart rate chest strap. 😢

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Nope

[@vpnconsult]

This watch is E-waste in 6 months to 2 years for most owners. Can't see any real AW(U) or Garmin owners stepping to the CMF pro watch.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

I would agree that it's unlikely an Apple Watch or Garmin user would switch to a CMF Watch Pro 2. This is a budget option for those who want to spend under $70. The E-Waste statement... I can't confirm until I fully test. Thanks for tuning in!

[@mr.fatcyclist5836]

Value for money? No better deal on the market.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

But is it accurate? 🤔

[@_samurai_744]

It’s actually snappier than my Epix Pro-sad but true. Garmin devices are always a bit laggy and buggy

[@marcjcd]

Nothing watch 1 had all these features. NONE of them worked. Step count didnt work sleep didnt work workouts didnt track anything accurately. Nothing has changed for watch 2. If you want a watch that tells time go for it but if you want anything that accurately tracks anything (besides the time) stay away.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks for sharing. I’ll be doing lots of testing!

[@bigpop1996]

69 is a good number 😏😜
