CMF Watch Pro 2 gets Google Health Connect and UI Improvements
A new software update is coming to the Nothing Watch Pro 2 wearable that launched in July 2024 under the CMF. Version 1.0.0.51 of the update is rolling out incrementally to users with minor tweaks and one essential feature in store—Google Health Connect integration—but it only works with Android devices.
This changelog brought a lot of optimizations; the new updated has added coming call notifications with a revamped light animation, and adjusted the presentation of weekly temperature data for clearer clarity. The world clock feature has also gone through minor adjustments to daylight saving time information.
Moreover, some watch widgets now show enriched measurements of calories and exercise duration. Lastly, it also brings an overall “boost” in user experience, though the changelog does not specify.
The largest addition with version 1.0.0.51, without a doubt, is integration with Google Health Connect. This feature, available only on Android devices, will let people sync health data captured by the Watch Pro 2 with Google’s platform for consolidating health data. Doing this could provide users with a much more complete picture of their health data by bringing info collected from the Watch Pro 2, along with data from other fitness trackers and health apps in the Google ecosystem, into one place.
The company accompanies the update with an updated version of the CMF Watch app on Android and iOS, in line with the Watch Pro 2 firmware. It has revamped the homepage of the app to display data from the Watch Pro 2, along with support for the first generation Watch Pro. Besides, users will also be in a position to set their daily step goals directly from the app.
CMF Watch Pro 2 Specifications
For a simple overview, the CMF Watch Pro 2 features a 1.32-inch AMOLED display that offers a refresh rate of 60Hz with a peak brightness of up to 620 nits and supports gesture control.
It has an aluminum alloy body and a rotating crown with IP68 dust and water resistance, along with an additional feature of customizable bezels. Health features range from a heart rate monitor to an SpO2 sensor, a sleep tracker, and 120 sports modes that support auto-detection. It also provides breathing training, sedentary reminders, and hydration alerts.
It also supports Bluetooth calling, has built-in GPS, and integrates health data across apps. It comes with a 305mAh battery and is said to last up to 11 days on a single charge.
Just a day after the Pixel 10’s color options were leaked, the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL have now been shown in all their colors too.
The Pixel 10 Pro will reportedly come in four color options:
- Obsidian (a dark gray/black),
- Porcelain (white),
- Moonstone (a slate blue-gray),
- Jade (a soft pistachio green with gold accents).
These names follow Google’s usual style of using creative names for color variants.
Interestingly, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will be available in the exact same four colors. While some fans were hoping for a unique shade exclusive to the larger model, Google has decided to keep the options consistent across both Pro versions.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is expected to have a 5,200 mAh battery which is the biggest ever in a Pixel phone. Both Pro models will come with telephoto cameras, macro photography support, and run on Google’s new Tensor G5 chipset, made by TSMC.
The entire Pixel 10 series is set to launch officially on August 20.
Nothing recently launched its Phone (3), which the company says is its first true flagship device. But now, new rumors suggest that Nothing may be planning to expand its smartphone lineup even further.
According to a well-known Indian leaker on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the company might be working on new models under the “Lite” or “T” series. The leaker claims that “Pro models are just not cutting it,” hinting that Nothing might be looking for a new direction.
It’s not completely clear which models the leaker is referring to. Recently, the only Pro version from Nothing was the Phone (3a) Pro which is a mid-range phone with better specs than the regular Phone (3a).
At this time, no detailed information has been shared about the possible Lite or T models. For example, it’s unclear whether Nothing will release a Phone (3) Lite, a Phone (3a) Lite, or both. Each could target different types of users depending on price and features.
If the rumor is true, more leaks and official updates from Nothing may follow soon. Until then, users can check out the company’s current flagship that is the Nothing Phone (3) which is already available.
Nothing sub-brand CMF by Nothing has officially launched the new CMF Watch 3 Pro, which comes with several upgrades over the previous model, including a larger screen, improved battery life, and unfortunately, a higher price.
Bigger and Brighter Display
The Watch 3 Pro features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, which is slightly larger than the 1.32-inch screen on the older model. It’s also a bit brighter, reaching 650 nits, and offers a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels with a 60Hz refresh rate. Users can choose from over 120 watch faces, including animated and interactive ones. Some of these are specially designed for the Always-On Display (AOD) mode.
Better Battery Life
This new smartwatch packs a 350mAh battery, which can last up to 13 days in normal use (without AOD) and about 3.5 days with AOD enabled. A full charge takes around 99 minutes. In comparison, the older model had a smaller 305mAh battery with up to 11 days of usage.
Stylish Build and Colors
The CMF Watch 3 Pro comes with a metal body and soft silicone straps. It’s available in three colors: Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Orange. Each variant has slight differences in weight and thickness due to the bezel design, but the bezel is fixed and can’t be changed — only the straps are removable.
| Color | Thickness | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Grey | 14.4mm | 51.9g |
| Light Grey | 15.2mm | 51.0g |
| Orange | 14.5mm | 52.4g |
Features for Fitness and Connectivity
The Watch 3 Pro supports 131 sports modes, including HIIT, yoga, and more. It can automatically detect workouts and guide users through warm-up exercises using 3D animations.
For outdoor use, it offers dual-band GPS (L1 + L5) and supports multiple satellite systems like GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. The watch is also IP68 rated, meaning it’s water and dust resistant (but not suitable for swimming).
Smart Features
The watch allows Bluetooth calling with two microphones, a speaker, and AI noise reduction. It also supports gesture controls like flipping or double-shaking the wrist to perform actions.
In a unique addition, ChatGPT is built into the watch to answer questions and offer help, including a running coach feature. Users can record voice notes that are automatically transcribed, and the Essential News feature can read out the latest headlines.
Price and Availability
The CMF Watch 3 Pro is priced at $99 / £99 / €99, but is currently available for a discounted price of $79 in the US. However, it is not yet available in India, and there’s no listing on Flipkart at the moment.
