1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,359
SmartWatches are expensive I mean think about it you've already paid a lot for

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,639
your phone and then you're expected to spend hundreds more to get a smartwatch

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:14,799
where half of the functions are still tied to that phone it's kind of

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:19,720
ridiculous which is why I'm excited that cmf a budget brand from nothing the guys

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:26,039
who made the nothing phone have come out with a budget Smartwatch a a watch Pro

6
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:29,720
two there was a first version but it never saw release in North America and

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,399
they're coming back strong with a bit of a different look I mean probably pretty

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,800
generic when it comes to you know watches but compared to the Square apple

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:43,000
watches look of their previous model I like the look of this a lot more and

10
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:50,480
inside they don't really have much else other than a charger with USB

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,280
a okay sure and it also has a magnetic

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:55,600
charger with Pogo pins that attaches to the bottom there already I wish this was

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,160
like a cradle kind of like the pixel watch where you can just kind of place your watch in there in almost any

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,559
orientation this requires you to not not only make sure that you have this facing

15
00:01:01,879 --> 00:01:09,000
the right way but also the Watch The Wire has to come out of the left side or

16
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:11,640
else it's going to be it's not going to connect properly hopefully you won't

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,479
have to charge it very often because they're claiming up to 9 days of heavy

18
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:20,520
use what heavy use constitutes I'm not sure it comes with a silicon strap which

19
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:24,400
is pretty sporty but it does come with other strap options one thing I already

20
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,640
like is that it's using a standard mount for the strap the frame itself is made

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,320
with an aluminum alloy and comes with a nice little crown the Red Dot on the

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,799
crown is very reminiscent of other nothing branded kind of stuff as well as

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,799
on the bezel you can see the like dot matrix kind of font for the cmf thing

24
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:43,799
and by nothing I think that's a nice little detail on the back we have a bunch of biometric sensors I think

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:50,280
they're mostly focused around heart rate and SP2 we have a speaker in here some

26
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:53,759
microphones you can take calls on this and one cool thing about this is that

27
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:59,280
the bezel is replaceable like that cmf is planning to

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,039
offer a few different varieties your bezels like to get scuffed because it is

29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,159
kind of supposed to protect the screen so if it gets you know scraped or stuff

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,840
you can still have a clean looking watch speaking of the screen it is a 1.32 in

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:18,400
AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 X 466 and it can get up to 620 nits of

32
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:21,080
peak brightness which is pretty good just kind of looking side by side with

33
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,800
my pixel watch which I really like the size of I don't have particularly large

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,640
wrists it is a little bit taller few couple millimeters taller but not so bad

35
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,040
it's not so bulky um I think that the uh hard edges make it look a little bit

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,360
bigger compared to say something like the massive Apple watch Ultra which just

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,720
looks Gigantic on a lot of different arms I'm not a huge fan of the placement

38
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,640
of the crown it's a little close to the lugs I guess is what they're called um

39
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:51,040
which means that if you have like bigger fingers it's kind of tricky to get

40
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:54,159
multiple fingers in there if you really need to if you really need to spin there

41
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,640
is haptic feedback when I scroll through this list and it um feel very good it

42
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:02,599
feels very cheap and there's also like kind of a cheap rattly noise

43
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,159
it just it just sounds it's not very robust and now that we've covered

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,760
everything on the outside let's talk about the software that's on the inside

45
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,080
after this message from our sponsor thanks to EO maker for sponsoring

46
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,720
today's video their Galaxy 80 designed in collaboration with fcker is a premium

47
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,519
tkl mechanical keyboard without the premium price it combines a full

48
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,360
aluminum alloy shell ergonomically curved key caps and a whole slew of foam

49
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:30,519
and padding to bring a full-blown sensory experience when typing and of

50
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:35,560
course it still has the awesome features you'd expect like a hot swappable PCB

51
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,840
south facing RGB and options for Wired and wireless connections check them out

52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,159
at the link in the description down below take a look at that that's the

53
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:48,280
default watch face on it you can see the outdoor temperature steps calories one

54
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,519
thing I wish is that these were actually um buttons to get to like different

55
00:03:49,799 --> 00:03:56,599
widgets like I wish I could go to my podometer app or my weather app or my

56
00:03:54,599 --> 00:04:01,280
clock app however it seems that I have to press the crown to navigate to the

57
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,120
menu and then navigate to that app from my understanding they have a custom

58
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:09,799
operating system but it seems very similar to were OS which is great cuz I

59
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:15,599
like we OS we have Quick Settings at the top we have notifications if we swipe up

60
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:18,120
we can uh go to widgets on the sides and

61
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:23,600
stuff like that one thing I do notice is that you can see that um the bezels even

62
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:27,199
though they have this nice bezel that you remove you don't actually go all the

63
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,759
way to the edge with the screen on the inside I kind of wish that because they

64
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,600
had the option of making this little bezel go over top that we didn't have to

65
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,000
have this big extra bezel on the bottom you know and they got a ton of watch

66
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,479
faces apparently 100 of them multifunction this looks like my kind of

67
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,360
thing I like seeing all of my info in one quick go we've heard from owners of

68
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:51,039
their last watch that the app can tend to be a little bit buggy but so far it

69
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:56,240
looks okay one thing you should note is that since this isn't a wear OS watch

70
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:00,160
there's no extra apps that you can download if you say have a specific app

71
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:05,080
that you want to use like I like using say straa you are stuck with the

72
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,520
whatever cmf gives you however this does have integration with straa as well as

73
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,960
Apple health and Health Connect which will allow you to kind of transfer the

74
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,960
data from this to pretty much any other app in the Health Connect ecosystem so

75
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:20,680
stuff like Fitbit or a lot of dieting apps like my fitness pal basically

76
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,199
that's kind of the API that you can send everything to and get your data between

77
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,319
whatever apps you want to use one thing that I care about is actually heart rate

78
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:32,720
detection I have atrial fibrillation which means my heart doesn't really beat

79
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,080
properly all the time when I'm having a an episode with apib I like to be able

80
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:41,360
to track it on my watch cuz then I can send it to my doctor and we can keep

81
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:48,919
track of uh exactly what kind of rhythms are happening this is not rated by the

82
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,720
FDA to track apib but it does have

83
00:05:48,919 --> 00:05:57,520
arhythmia notification so if it senses in a regular heartbeat it will note it

84
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:02,199
honestly it's a pretty robust app run tracking GPS all of that stuff GPS on

85
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:07,240
device by the way not through your phone you don't need to run with your phone to track GPS but let's quickly go through a

86
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:13,000
lot of the other features they have they have 120 different uh exercise modes

87
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,240
including jet skiing the one that I'm always doing it's ip68 water resistant

88
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:20,919
which isn't quite good enough for say like swimming they have like a smart

89
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:24,960
movement algorithm that they claim can measure the effectiveness training load

90
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,160
and recovery time I could see maybe recovery time if they're just kind of

91
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,240
gauging by your heart rate but any sort of motion tracking that I done on

92
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,560
SmartWatches in the past in terms of like working out at the gym they don't

93
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:42,000
really help you at all but all of that stuff comes in at a price of $69 which

94
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:47,000
is great honestly that's cheaper than any Fitbit you're like competing with

95
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:51,639
like a lot of the Chinese uh Brands like tick watch or Amaze fit and I think

96
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:55,039
you're getting a pretty solid experience and you're going to be backed by a

97
00:06:53,599 --> 00:06:58,639
company that's a a little bit more familiar in the western territories now

98
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:05,240
I would need to spend a little bit more time to make sure that all of the apps that are default work smoothly but this

99
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,520
is kind of what I want I don't need a do everything Smartwatch I want something

100
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:12,960
that can give me notifications that can track my fitness and this does

101
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,560
everything and it does it just so much cheaper than other major brands and it

102
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:21,800
makes me wonder why these other brands aren't even trying to make something

103
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,720
good at this price point I think they did a great job thanks for watching this

104
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,680
ShortCircuit if you like this video why don't you learn about a more premium

105
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,000
offering the pixel Watch 2 James did a great job on that video I'm so proud of

106
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,000
him
