Very grateful to the Nothing team for giving me the opportunity to be an Insider and to be able to try CMF Watch Pro 2 a few months before its presentation. I am passionate about technology and Nothing has caught my attention since its very presentation, even before its first product, so this opportunity that has been given to me has been almost like a dream!
Our mission was to find errors and communicate them directly to the team for fixing, as well as the possibility of giving suggestions and transmitting feelings using the deviceâs functions, a user-company process that makes you feel heard and that they really care about the user experience. Letâs start:
To begin with, the watch design.
As soon as it arrived, I couldnât do anything but stare at it dumbfounded. A clean, minimalist design that we would later find out that the aesthetics of our watch were NOT the only ones there were. The strap is extremely comfortable and, despite not being a particularly small device, I have not had any discomfort wearing it all day or even while sleeping. Itâs been stuck to my wrist since it arrived and Iâm delighted with its comfort!
Secondly, I will talk about its software.
I think there is something where we can all agree, it is that both Nothing and its brand, CMF by Nothing shine in both design and software, and this watch is no exception. The interface is extremely fluid, the rotating crown that its predecessor did not include along with the haptic feedback makes moving through the different menus pleasant and comfortable. The automatic brightness works like a charm. You wonât have any problems where you need more brightness nor will it blind you when you use it in a dark place. All this together with a spectacular battery life, capable of lasting more than a week and a half without any problem, and even remaining more than worthy with AOD on. Its differential point, the customizable widgets, make your watch truly yours, and you can put any widget the way you want depending on your use, your customs, your identity, making it original, personal and facilitating its use.
Finally the surprise.
A solid watch, both in design and software, reliable in terms of the parameters it displays either at bedtime (it surprised me with the accuracy it marked the hours of rest), or at the time of recording an exercise. A fluidity that makes every interaction you have to make with the watch enjoyable and you value the teamâs work on the system. After all this, the first teaser is published where the watch appears, and we see that⌠You can rotate It?
The group begins to comment until we are invited to âgive It a twistâ Indeed, this is when we realize that the bezels separates from its body, and it opens the way to our imagination as to what this could be due to. It is later when it is announced: Customizable bezels! If the software was not enough to make this watch unique and personal, now another world opens up in which each person can choose which style to use.
It has been a great experience and I am very grateful that you counted on me to be able to test this CMF Watch Pro 2. It has been a real pleasure to have it as my main device and to have been able to contribute to making its user experience as great as it is. I would be happy to collaborate with Nothing again in the future!
