The CMF Watch Pro 2 gets all the fundamentals right. The AMOLED screen is sharp and easy to read, the health and fitness tracking covers everything most people actually use, and the battery lasts over a week between charges. It plays nicely with Apple Health, Google Health Connect, and Strava, which means your data stays useful if you’re already in one of those ecosystems. The Bluetooth calling is surprisingly clear, the gesture controls feel intuitive, and the interchangeable bezels and straps give it a playful edge that makes it feel more personal than other budget watches. For under $70, it delivers features you normally only see on pricier devices, which is why we recommend it to first-time smartwatch buyers or anyone who wants solid performance without overspending.
