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.
