Third-party reviews

What we like about CMF Watch Pro 2

  • Exceptional value for money at its budget price point.
  • Premium design and build quality with a circular aluminum alloy body.
  • Outstanding battery life, often lasting a week or more on a single charge.
  • Vibrant and sharp 1.32-inch AMOLED display with auto-brightness.
  • Highly customizable with interchangeable bezels and various watch faces.
  • Intuitive navigation using a new functional rotating crown.
  • Capability to sync health data with third-party apps like Strava and Google Health.
  • Clear Bluetooth calling with AI noise reduction.

What we don't like about CMF Watch Pro 2

  • Inconsistent health tracking accuracy, particularly for heart rate and sleep.
  • Frequent connectivity issues, especially when paired with iOS devices.
  • Lack of 'true' smartwatch features such as NFC for contactless payments or a third-party app store.
  • Slow GPS lock-on times that can take several minutes.
  • Poor haptic motor that users describe as loud, high-pitched, or 'cheap'.
  • Limited notification interaction with no support for emojis or message replies.
  • Software quirks, including non-customizable quick settings and occasional UI bugs.
  • IP68 rating is not sufficient for swimming; limited to shallow water splashes.

Verdict

The CMF Watch Pro 2 is a budget-focused smartwatch featuring a circular 1.32-inch AMOLED always-on display with a 466x466 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 620 nits peak brightness. Encased in an aluminium alloy body, it stands out with its unique interchangeable bezel system, a functional rotating crown, and 22mm quick-release straps. Core specifications include built-in multi-system GPS, IP68 water resistance, and a 305mAh battery offering up to 11 days of typical usage. Key pros include highly customisable aesthetics, seamless Bluetooth calling with AI noise reduction, and comprehensive tracking for 120 sports modes alongside 24/7 heart rate and SpO2 monitoring. However, notable cons include the lack of NFC for contactless payments, a basic custom OS with no third-party app support, and an IP68 rating that is not recommended for high-impact water activities like swimming.
