CMF (Nothing) - CMF Watch 3 Pro

Because you are standing still while taking the photo and have been for at least a couple of seconds. So your current pace is obviously not what you just ran. The time your watch gives you is an estimate of how long you will need for a kilometer if you keep up your current pace. I ran a half marathon with mine and my watch time is on par with the official timing.

I am generally really happy, considering it's a 60€ product. The only thing that mildly annoys me is that the watch basically becomes functionless while tracking an exercise. You cannot access calls, weather or messages. Only music. Never had any issues syncing it and the app has worked well for me so far too - Been using it only since September though.

I got this watch as an upgrade to a 3 year old Fitbit Versa 4, and have been using it for 3 days. With all the frustrations I'm feeling and the general consensus on this forum that Nothing don't push updates, I've decided to get rid of it. The following is an opinionated list of the good and the bad regarding this watch (in contrast to other watchesI have used). **Nice things** * Nice design, sleek, comfortable. Hardware is great. * Software runs fast and (mostly) smooth * Screen is bright, high quality, and (mostly) responsive * Great battery life **Issues** * 🚨 Notifications * I only have select notifications on. No messaging apps. * My selected notifications do not show on screen when received, and does not vibrate * Have to actively scroll down to see them * Some don't show up at all * You can't swipe to dismiss (most common UX pattern) * ⏱️ Timers * Running a timer overhauls the interface, making the watch unusable for the duration * Accidentally touching the screen or bumping the crown might pause or reset * Display is always on, draining battery * A finished timer lightly vibrates twice, that's it, very easy to miss * ⏰ Alarms * Sound on by default (weird move) * Short, weak alarm buzzer, might not be enough for everyone * 📆 Calendar alarms * Has to be acknowledged (which is fine I guess, but not my preference) * Only shows up 10 minutes before a meeting, then never again. This will cause me to miss meetings. * ⌚ Watch faces * Nice variety, but still not enough faces imo * Some of the nicer ones don't adapt to 24-hour time * Customization is limited * Video watch faces glitch on every wake, showing the last frame before looping, causing a visual "jump" * Cannot change font, or add widgets * 👑 Crown * A bit stiff, cannot be smoothly turned with a single finger * Awkward placement imo * ✋ "Cover to turn off screen" * It works maybe 1 out of 7 times, often triggers a widget or long-press face selection * Doesn't seem to use the light sensor, but requires you to touch the entire screen all at once which is difficult because of the thick bezel design * 🖊️ Overall copywriting * Often feels directly translated from non-english, examples: * When snoozing an alarm, screen shows: "It will ring again in 5 minutes" — weird sentence * When turning off alarm, screen shows: "Close" — ok, I guess? * There are more examples, and these things have a "Chinese direct translation"-feel to them, which is a bad look for Nothing * ☁️ Weather app * Weather app is great, but it stopped syncing for 8 hours one time * ❌ Every night the watch... disconnects? * In the morning, going into the Nothing X app, the watch is nowhere to be found in my list of devices * I have to do a fresh device search and re-add it * Goes through the onboarding "Welcome to Nothing! Please sign in." as if this is a completely new device, every time I suspect pretty much all of these things could be "fixed" with software updates. But I don't trust that will happen, since the community here seems disappointed in the lack of support from Nothing. In conclusion, I will probably not buy CMF again. I absolutely love my Nothing Ear (2), but this gave me the impression that CMF is a piggyback off the Nothing brand, not really up to Nothing standards.

Yeah, like I said, the hardware is really nice. Just that the software is worse in every way compared to my Versa 4. They have the same battery life, and the Versa 4 even supports NFC (payments) and completely custom drag and drop design watch faces via a third party service. I bought the Watch 3 Pro because I wanted a refreshed style, but I cannot take this many compromises.

Yeah I bought the watch about a week and a half or two weeks ago, and I actually really really liked it at first. Looks great, feels great, battery life is INSANELY good, and the UI is actually much faster and smoother than WearOS ... Unfortunately I ran into the same problems as you. Some notifications on some apps only work when they want to, and sometimes they just don't work at all. It also wasn't a good sign that they had a server error within the first week of owning it, which resulted in me and most other people basically having to reset it and start it up all over again. It's just not polished enough, so I went back to my pixel watch. The unfortunate part is that I can't even return it, because it was made so cheaply that it already has a scratch on the crown resulting in the black paint peeling completely off. I got the Phone 2 Pro on the same day, and my experience is the complete opposite. I'm still blown Away that performs better than my pixel 9. Sure the camera isn't as great but it's still acceptable. Everything else on it is better I will say though, that for 60 or $70, it's still worth it. You can't expect much for that price. And they do pack in a lot of things that do work
