Using the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had in a while, and that’s saying something, given that I’ve tested dozens of smartwatches in the last year. Still, there are some things to like about this cheap 69 dollar smartwatch; A watch which I expect many are considering as a cheap Apple Watch alternative. However, as you will see in this video, based on my systematic testing of this watch, I think many of you will be disappointed with the performance of this first smartwatch of CMF by nothing. At least, that is, if you care about the sports and health tracking of this watch. Outside that, the watch does look and feel quite premium for the price. However, you can judge yourself based on the data I will share in this video.
I was quite excited to test the nothing watch, and I bought two of them to be able to collect a lot of data quickly. However, after connecting them with two of my iPhones, I noticed the first big problem I had with the nothing watch pro: none of the sports and sleep data was syncing to either of my iPhones. I could see it on the watch, but it just wasn’t there on the phone. I’d chosen iPhones since I was hoping to sync my data with Apple Health, but not only was this not happening, the data was not even showing up on the Nothing Watch app itself. I tried a bunch of things, and even contacted their help desk. I tried all their tips, but if this didn’t work, they suggested I go to an offline CMF service center.
So, the sleep stage tracking of the CMF Watch Pro just isn’t very good. I at least would not trust it to tell me anything useful about my stages, except perhaps my total time spent in bed. So, if you want anything more complicated than that, just pick another watch. Overall, I’d give the sleep stage tracking of the CMF Watch Pro, 2 out of 5 stars. So, as you might have guessed by now, with the current firmware and app, I am not very happy with the CMF Watch Pro. First of all, my data is locked in an ecosystem with a poorly performing app, and second, the health and sports data it does provide is more or less useless to me. That being said, more subjectively, I do like the design and simplicity of the CMF Watch Pro. And, for the price, it does feel surprisingly premium. It is kind of chunky, which means that it looks quite big on smaller wrists. So, if you don’t care about the health and sports tracking data, this might still be for you, but if you do, I would steer clear. Therefore, overall, I’d give the health and sports tracking of the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro, 1.5 out of 5 stars. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Manually extracting data from screenshots - that is THE level of madness dividing scientists from us - mere humans. I just love your attitude!
Thanks! I wish they made my life easier, and just connected to Strava (or follow GDPR guidelines)
This is why we love your channel.
@@TheQuantifiedScientistbut how do you know it’s really accurate tho ?
@@superherobeatdown It won't be perfect to extract data like this, but it will provide a good enough impression of how it performs. Also, it is the best I can do, but as I mention in the video, it definitely isn;t perfect
Do not use for iPhone users. This is trash for iPhone users.
Big respect for the lengts you're willing to go through just to give us scientific and accurate data. Well done, these videos are the best of its kind out here on TH-cam! Keep it up man.
Thank you very much! 😊

For the manual extract of the data. Kudos!
Thanks!

THANK YOU ROB! Many of the issues you've reported PLUS MORE on the actual watch portion of their software/hardware have not worked correctly (or at all) since launch, and they've responded to none of the comments that I and many others have listed on their community feedback boards. It's basically a decent looking watch that barely even tells time correctly. As always, GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
This video is completely a waste of time please can you find a watch which will knock off apple at the top spot so it's useful for android users instead of wasting time with these stupid watches
@@yasserhussain4565Well genius, how do you figure that'll happen. Hint: These watches don't test themselves.
@@yasserhussain4565 What idiot makes a watch that's worse than Xiaomi and sells it at such an outrageous price?

I have watched Marques Brownlee's review of this watch, and... what a difference. Here we finally get a real review.
Night and day difference huh.
Many of the watch reviewers are paid sponsors of said watches.
A dead giveaway is they have nothing negative to say about the
watch they are reviewing. Not this guy, The Qualified Scientist is
my go to for the real deal.
What if he's the paid guy? He only used an iPhone to test an app made for android and extracted the data from there. He could've just used a nothing phone as the watch is made for it. He's just being biased himself and giving out false results..
@@VPuffy I don't see anything indicating that the results are false.
The fact that he used an iPhone with which he mentioned that he was having connectivity issues and still he forced it to make it work which already would give many errors.. And the fact that he took the values manually from screenshots adds a additional layer of errors on top of that.. He could've just used a nothing phone to do the testing which would've been the best for both connectivity and results @@brinckaucomplaining that a watch made for android, doesn't work with iphones, and still continuing using the iPhone for the testing clearly shows that he biased towards Apple and this fact make his results unreliable..
The first graph at 2:46 made my heart sink. 😄
And the others were even worse! Carl Pei should watch your video.
Hope it helped 😊

I’ve been waiting for this one!! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you like it! 😊
I was interested in this watch because of the price but you definitely helped make that decision easier! Thanks for your effort and reveal 🙂
My pleasure! 😊
This has been an anticipated review. Thanks for the hard work Rob!

Hi Rob, Are you planning on making another video on the Pixel Watch 2? I'm really interested on its sleep tracking reliability.
What a dedication, Great effort!

Really appreciate these in depth reviews! Please review some smart rings as alternatives to Oura, which requires subscription to be useful. There are many ~$20 R3 and SR200 variants that look pretty interesting. It seems much easier to damage and/or lose watches than rings.
Quality content as always! Thank you Rob!
Thanks! Really appreciated! 😊
The work and dedication you showed in each of these videos is astounding. Thank you for all of the work you put into these.
Seeing the many reviews that are done more critically, I can safely say that Nothing has nothing to say.
Haha, seems like it ;-)
One of the most underrated TH-cam channels. Keep up the great work!

Hey rob. Thanks for video.
Please compare budget heart rate chesttrap to expensive.
Thanks for these videos. have you thought about comparing the differences in how many calories the trackers say they are burning vs what is actually being burnt since there is a big difference supposedly I think that would be an interesting addition to these videos
You have done so much for this. Great effort
Thank you so much 😀

Great test. Please include in your test more cases of running and some everyday tasks around house.
Please do a review on redmi watch 4, I consider buying it, but based on your previous videos about the other xiaomi devices, Im kinda holding back
Hello Rob!
Thanks for all your analysis. I think you're the only person who did that so well.
I have a question, maybe you've already answered it, but I'll ask you anyway: Is there any reason why you haven't made a video on the new Withings ScanWatch?

Hi Rob, has Nothing/CMF contacted you about this and with a goal of making any improvements?
Kudos for the effort
Thanks for the review

Respect your commitment. Hats off
Thanks! 😊
Almost random data generation, unknown data policy without direct access... Life pro tip: Buying 2 dice and call whatever you throw your current heart rate, is cheaper and seems to work just as well as the Nothing Watch Pro.
Big thanks to Rob for yet another great review!
Thanks for making these videos, it would a good idea if you could review the core body temperature sensor (corebodytemp).
It seems like the galaxy Watch5 pro is also performing quite well in sleep tracking... Did I miss an update video? I could not find any. I am considering an upgrade from the galaxy watch4.
Always the best contents!
ive had two, bought from the Nothing store in London, loved the look and the OS and its actually good quality BUT both returned as they constantly disconnected and would only reconnect once my phone was restarted! They acknowledged in the store that this is a known problem and said wait for CMF2 watch!!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@TheQuantifiedScientistCould you analyze the Rollme HERO M5? The reviews I have seen say that its non-invasive measurement of glucose, blood pressure and thermometer are very accurate
What idiot makes a watch that's worse than Xiaomi and sells it at such an outrageous price?
When do you plan scanwatch 2?
new years first video amazing
Great video bro! Can you do a full review of the Amazfit Band 7 too?
Thanks. Please review the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4
Heyyy, any advice about the scanwatch 2 ? i think it has it s place in your testing. hope you will include it soon 🙏
Cant wait you do a review on redmi watch 4! Thank you for the detail review!! ❤
Xiaomi watch, Redmi watch very bad...huawei gt4, gt3pro, GT Runner, watch fit 2 is better.
@@MrQuan-vr8nk oh really? I know their tracking and fitness feature is not too good right?
Great work mate!
Will you be testing Redmi Watch 4 because apparently it has a new improved PPG sensor
Xiaomi watch, Redmi watch very bad...huawei gt4, gt3pro, GT Runner, watch fit 2 is better.
Thank you for this video, was planning on buying a CMF Watch just because I have a Phone (2) (which is actually good unlike this watch). Decided on an Inspire 3 instead. Keep doing these, as it really helps out people in deciding what to buy! 👍
Hey Rob are you still planning a full review of the pixel watch 2 sleep capability?
I am still waiting on that since the preliminary review you did a few months ago 😢
Hi! For sure! In the overview it already includes some more data
What is best watch for monitoring sleep?
Would you consider reviewing sleep tracking apps that use your phone's accelerometer and audio sensors? Apps such as Sleep Cycle and Sleep as Android (plus its Sleep Phaser product)
Are you testing the Ultrahuman Air Ring? It’s a direct competitor for Oura.
😂Crap Watch. Thx for your Test ❤
Pls update your Test from The Pixel Watch 2 and Fitbit Charge 6. 🙏
Working in it! 😊
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Thx! Really. Thank you for your work on this.
yes, crap watch :). idiot watch ^^. Xiaomi watch, Redmi watch very bad and Nothing Watch super bad...huawei gt4, gt3pro, GT Runner, watch fit 2 is better.
Hello !
Can you please test the huawei watch fit special edition ?
I want to know how it compares to the huawei watch fit 2.
Thanks.
Could you analyze the Rollme HERO M5? The reviews I have seen say that its non-invasive measurement of glucose, blood pressure and thermometer are very accurate
Hello, do you know kardena's pro4 brand? Could you make a review ? Thx
Quick question: I'm into DA as well. I want to know if that p-value was obtained with a 'relational test' (cannot remember the name) comparing the similarities between two distributions . A low value meaning that the two distributions are veeeeery different (low probability that the differences are only due to statistical variations etc)
Great content! Thanks! 🤗
Hi! Thanks for the question. The p-value in this case is not very meaningful, since even a relatively low correlation will still be significant. I wouldn't focus on it in this case.
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Thank you very much! 🙌🏻
Can you review the Masimo W1 Sport watch?
Can you test Hawaii watch fit SE , please
Please, test withings Scanwatch 2.
Thank you, your work is incredible, the only one!!! In the budget zone, you could try the haylou s8...
Great job man! Was looking at this watch for my dad as his looking for affordable smart wearable for health data tracking, looks like it’s just not the watch to go with
Please review kospet tank 2 and garmin vivo 5 thank you
I need your review on the Xiaomi watch 2 pro, the one with wear OS, is just that nobody does this type of reviews like you do 🥺
Xiaomi watch, Redmi watch very bad and Nothing Watch super bad...huawei gt4, gt3pro, GT Runner, watch fit 2 is better.
Wow this is as precise in capturing health data as a Casio f91w.
Can you review the new G-Shock Rangeman pretty please!
can that be tweaked with an update? also, the comparator data is not 100% accurate so u may also want to consider
Hi Rob! can you please check the Redmi watch 3 active. I'm getting one today and was wondering if it's accurate or not. Btw the price is really really really cheap. I got mine for as little as 42 dollars. Please it would be really appreciated since you haven't done a Redmi watch review in a while.. thanks!! 🙏🙏
.
I would like a video of the Scanwatch 2.
Rob: always a trooper!
Thanks!
Please make a review of the redmi watch 4
Love your commitment to get to the root
Thanks! 😊
Can you test the Redmi watch 4 please?
Hello Rob! You are fantastic thank you so much for all your videos :)
Can you do Redmi Watch 4?
Please make video on latest launched SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT 3 fitness band
As a machine learning student dude casually said that i stuck at graph
Please do a TicWatch pro5 test for us!😊
Thanks
you know i ended up buying this watch for the sake of having a new smart watch the is overall pretty good. Not perfect or even the best but good for the price with good materials and a amazing price if you just want a good looking smart watch for everyday use its perfect
Please, can you review Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro?
Can you do the ultrahuman ring please 🙏🙏🙏
still the app have not the ability to be linked with strava ?
Amazing review
Glad you think so! 😊
Please review Casio smartwatches!! Thank you!!
Noted! I'll keep it in mind!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Oh wow, great!
Would they be able to fix this with software updates? I am considering either this watch or the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4
Redmi w 4 is a better choice(not because of data accuracy but the software won't be laggy like this CrapMF), CheapMF's won't be getting any better.
You should definetely add calories burned as an another comparison option
Waiting for vs of rings, xiaomi, samsung, ultrahuman, aurora ring, con ring
Please review the OnePlus watch 2
which one brands trace perfect accurate data on smart watch?
Apple Watch are the best but the most expensive as well
Is Huawei fit 2 much better?
wow what a great video the effort you put to make this vdo is insane ..& i have a doubt , i want to gift my father a smartwatch under 70dollars and i am in a way bigger confusion of picking up one because there are so many watches ,he would like watches with that are not so thick , dont need metal straps, and elegant looking watches, and would be nice if health tracking which works well is there which one do you suggests, pls help me fast..
u are amazing good work bro
Hi Rob! Garmin Vivoactive 5?
Just made finished the figures for the video 😊
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Can you say if Vivoactive 5 has any better HR accuracy than Instinct 2 that has the same sensor? Can you add to your HR accuracy a test "sitting in front of a computer and walking around the house"? This would be a nice baseline test to see how good HR accuracy is for the most basic case.
i think Huawei gt4, gt3pro, GT Runner, watch fit 2 is better. I use gt3pro and i see very good :)
Redmi watch 4 it a same design
That's the review 🎉
great video
Huawei watch fit SE plsss
Waiting for redmi watch 4
Best fitness trackers for 2024?
Mantap
I got one of these and use it with an iPhone. Every single workout shows up in Kazakstan rather than the UK. It's good to know I can ignore the rest of the data coming out of it too. 😂
Xiaomi watch, Redmi watch very bad and Nothing Watch super bad...huawei gt4, gt3pro, GT Runner, watch fit 2 is better. What idiot makes a watch that's worse than Xiaomi and sells it at such an outrageous price?
Ok, so what your recommendation?@@MrQuan-vr8nk
where is gps ?
I love my CMF by Nothing Watch Pro and have found it to be a great smartwatch - I'm on Android - great watch and great value - I highly recommend it !!
W for efforts
Liked the chart and that the Apple ones are the best, compared to the CMF ones that only cost 80 dollars
For the price, it's like comparing Bentley Bentayga to VW Golf.
It's exactly the same chart.
Most people for that money will get enough time, notice, and maybe some design. But thank you for your efforts.

This is sad I hope they learn and do better with the next time
