Hi everyone!
I’ve recently become the proud owner of a CMF by Nothing Watch Pro! It works great with my Nothing Phone (1) and I’m very happy with it so far.
I do feel like there are certain software features that I’m missing when using it, and I’m gonna list them here! If anyone has any other suggestions, do add them in a reply to this thread! (Software features only)
For the Watch Pro:
While the raise to wake is pretty reliable, it can turn on accidentally while sleeping, being quite distracting. I have it turned off for this reason. Having to press the button is okay, but it’s more ergonomic and convenient to be able to (double) tap the screen to wake the device instead.
- Quick replies for notifications
I understand the performance constraints of the device, but I think that, if the app can process notifications before sending them to the watch, it can also use the phone’s processing power to analyse notifications and come up with a couple possible quick-replies that we could then choose on the watch when expanding a notification. That can result in having to pick up the phone less frequently, increasing convenience even more.
Imagine you’re on a long journey, maybe a flight or a road trip. Your phone’s battery is low, and you want to preserve it as much as possible. You’re also very bored and want to pass some time. Why not play a couple games of snake? Maybe a sudoku? 2480? I feel like these types of games could run on the Watch Pro, and while they may drain its battery quickly, I think having the option to have some fun could be nice.
This one goes hand in hand with the next section, features/improvements for the app, but I do think that we could use some more watch faces. The custom one can use some added customisability, maybe more custom widgets? As a developer myself, it would be very cool to be able to program our own watch faces and small programs to run on the Watch Pro. I know this is asking for a bit much, but a man can dream!
For the CMF Watch app:
I love the way the heart rate graph is displayed on the watch itself. Why isn’t this consistent with the app? I want the app to show me the graph from 00:00 to 24:00 regardless of the time of day! Let me zoom into it myself if I want to!
This one is self explanatory. Maybe I’m just blind, but I can’t seem to find a dark mode setting in the app. I don’t wanna be blinded each time I wanna use it!
- Expanding on more watch faces & games: a user-submitted watch faces / apps tab!
I’d personally like to see this one…
Thanks for reading, if you’ve made it this far! These are just the ones I was able to come up with myself. Reply with any suggestions and thank you to the CMF by Nothing team for creating such a beautiful and awesome product!
