hey tnx ! How is the battery life ?

I agree that he should do more budget friendly devices. but i think he should still only stick to the ones that really stand out from the rest. which is what he does right now. you've got this, he did one on the pocophone f1, he reviewed the mpow headphones. those are devices that really have something that differentiate them from other budget tech. so he does review budget tech, but he is more selective. i think instead of doing 1 or 2 budget devices each year, he should do 5 or 6. but he needs to still stay selective. there are great channels that do high quality reviews of budget tech. i used to follow a couple, back when i was going trough a financial rough patch, and couldnt afford premium phones that werent 4 years old. but to be honest, when you can afford premium tech, the budget options are not an option anymore. because you give up a lot of things when you go budget. the cameras always suck, screen quality sucks, processor speed sucks, and you start to appreciate the premium stuff again. but there is a need for low budget tech when you're counting every dollar you make. but once youre back on your feet, all the budget tech blends together. dont get me wrong, i still enjoy a great deal on a low budget item. but it has to really stand out from the rest. just like mpow headphones did back before they got cancelled. the pocophone f1 was a great budget device with premium features, but a tech item, has to be at that level of price advantage for me to even consider it anymore. if I want something cheap, i just look for a used premium item that is 1 or 2 years old.

I still use mine switching between different watches for various reasons. But as far as smartwatches go my Pebble Steel Time gets more wrist time than any other smartwatch I have.

But doesn't have auto brightness

@@richenjoshi7054 hunh, I never noticed. I've never once thought I wish this was brighter, or I wish this was darker. Might have to give it a go tmrw and see why I don't notice that compared to say my Samsung ones, or my Garmin.

@@richenjoshi7054 Pebble watches use e-ink display, they don't need auto brightness

@@richenjoshi7054it was an eink display. Those are highly visible indoors and arent bright outdoors since they use natural light for brightness. Honestly for a lot of people eink was perfect for a budget smartwatch.

As a fellow Wyze 47 watch user, this also gave me major comparisons to this. With the Wyze being $30 vs $69, but with added features with this watch, it gives me second thoughts to upgrade to it. As Wyze doesn't seem to release or update our watches any more.

Same thoughts here, but while this keeps working, I'll be using it 🙂 Though, replacing the band on my current watch seems to be an issue (unless I want pink...)

I think it would be less accurate, but not that huge, considering the huge price gap

@@kangkhalim6763 Yeah maybe not. I just think there's a lot of technology out now, specifically budget ones, that "check a box" of having a feature. But when they don't work well I think it's just producing trash. It entices people to buy it, it doesn't work, and they throw it out. You'd think Nothing would do some due diligence, but they're not putting their name on it, they're putting CMF's name on it to not hurt their own brand.

It’s accurate bro

Other youtubers have compared the watches in a scientific manner. See The Quantified Scientist. The CMF is not accurate at all.

Well, smartwatches aren't a real tools to measure health anyway, but as a benchmark on how to improved yourself from day to day. If you want a real accurate readings just buy a real medical equipment, there's so many factors that make smartwatches less reliable than the right tools, especially in form factor.

LMFAO I thought the same thing. There are so many cheap smartphones, smartwatches and earbuds which are actually good and us people dont even know about them😭

At work they gave me a cheap $20 smart watch that has a lot of the same features/issues this thing does and also has a suspiciously similar charger lol

@@p5ychy normally because in countries like the USA, we have a negative outlook on cheap electronics. Cheap is only ever considered for food and clothes but electronics is not one of them. You’ll even find most of the low-income families owning a couple of Apple devices. Or at least the more prestigious Android smartphones as an alternative. Even when I was 13 years old, most kids around me had an iPhone. None of us were rich. It’s weird if you ask me but quite normal. And if you were caught with a cheap smartphone or smart watch, anything that isn’t Apple or Samsung, you would be bullied lol.

​@@sandwhichbagYeah, thats why europeans make fun of the yankies lol

You'd be amazefit

almost certainly it's going to suck. Similarly priced smart bands like Mi Band 8 aren't really that great in anything but the simplest scenarios (like running on a treadmill).

Me and friend got it a week ago. Sleep and heart rate has been very accurate for both of us. You can’t silence calls though( only accept and reject).

@@sandeepshankar1813"Very accurate" compared to what? Doing proper sleep tracking requires a lot more than checking your heart rate every now and then.

There is a good scandinavian youtuber who does accuracy tests. I wouldnt really trust mkbhd with accuracy informations since he doesnt do methodical testing, only anecdotal.

@@plissk3n1337 Who is this? Thanks.

Amazfit Bip is Pebbles spiritual successor. Only with 28 days of battery life and cheaper.

How about a miband? Also a lot more subtle design.

@@dekaaizer2550vertical display isnt that great…pebble has circular

I would agree minus the battery life. If what he said was true and this thing was able to get the 13-14ish days without turning on battery saver, then it would be much closer to pebble in my mind. It was the simplicity plus the battery life that I loved about my pebble.

Glad to See old Pebble Users here. Mine died so i switched to Amazfit BIP and later GTS.

They did have a pretty consistent heart rate measurement, but it was slower and typically slightly a lower reading than my Apple watch during the same workout

@@mkbhd Can you please ban the word "AMK33X" from your comments? The bots are absolutely pummeling this scam here, and someone;s going to get suckered eventually into this crypto scam.

Hey @mkbhd, I've been a fan for a while, but I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with this video. I dropped a more detailed comment on your $169 phone video too. I respect your position as one of the top tech reviewers globally, but there seems to be a gap in your understanding of affordable devices, especially those used by people daily in places like India. It would be fantastic to see you explore tech from different parts of the world, especially considering the remarkable yet budget-friendly devices available here. India, for instance, has some hidden gems that surpass the quality of what's featured in your recent video and are more pocket-friendly. I understand you might focus on devices readily available in the U.S., but broadening your horizons could bring a fresh perspective to your reviews. Moreover, your take on EVs in a previous video left me wanting more. There's an impressive EV scene in India that's worth exploring, showcasing innovation and quality that might surprise you. Come experience it for yourself; the love you'll get from the people here is unmatched. I'm confident that exploring tech beyond the U.S. market will provide a richer perspective for your audience. Looking forward to more diverse content from your channel!

​@@iamdarshanmehtaig that's the price to pay for a creator in the US, most Chinese devices are out of reach for you, be it phones or watches.

@@mkbhd that's impressive then because these so called smartwatches which comes under 70$ price are mostly just for show. Some popular smartwatch brands in my country are firebolt, noise and boat. They are basically fitbands in a smartwatch skin or a Bluetooth accessory. Pretty accurate but far from reliable. BTW Marques you should really do more of these budget reviews😅

Scam alert

Is there any of their smartwatches you'd recommend?

I agree. I’ve had an Amazfit Bip U Pro for a while and it’s as budget friendly as it gets. While they run the same OS, they’ve definitely come a long way and is definitely way more accurate and battery efficient than my Apple Watch 3. The GTR 2 and POP3R is a good VFM.

LIGE and LEMFO are worth a look as well ... I have a couple of both and they are like Casio and Timex had a love-child of the indestructible type.

is there anything you wish it did better? or find annoying? like I would be annoyed with this watch having to keep the app open on my main device for certain functions to work. I'm wondering if he could change the app priority so that it would just stay open in the background, but then of course it's using more battery & RAM on the main device to keep the app open in the background

But the UI design on the CMF watch is 10x better.

The Quantified Scientist normally tests watchers and fit bands, so is a nice way to have "more serious" data about the consistency/veracity of their readings.

There's a UKposts channel dedicated to reviewing smart watches. Just forgot the name, but surprisingly there are some watches that are better than others despite being cheaper.

Its really 99.99for the watch😊

@@sabinkrishna800178no its not, its same price

reason why I never buy a smartwatch even though it is hella cool

Notifications, especially call notifications. However, my watch was much cheaper than yours, so yours might have some other features.

The big thing for me is that it legitimately made me look at my phone less, which is a value gain. Timer, time, notifications, flashlight, etc that used to require I pull out my phone, can simply be accessed by the watch, which reduces the chance I then switch over to some social media or game.

I mean if you’re only buying things you can’t live without you won’t get a lot of stuff… I use mine to track exercises and check my progress, heart rate, weight etc… also really good for running, especially downloading songs to it and connecting earbuds and gps, so I don’t need to bring my phone when running. Other than that it’s slightly more convenient to check notifications. It’s also a really good alarm to wake up to, instead of an annoying sound, I just get a silent vibration on the wrist

My phone is always on silent mode because I don't like recieving calls but sometimes in silent mode I missout some very important calls. So that's why I use my smartwatch to notify me about calls via vibration.

It's 79 AUD now, converting it from USD.

I had the mi band, I recently changed to amaze fit bip 3, and its pretty much the same features as he is showing but without the speakers.

damn that's expensive, in Indonesia Xiaomi Smart Band 8 costs around $50 AUD

india there are too much smartwatches like this

Yep, happy with the Mi Band here too. It would still feel weird to me to have a conversation on my watch, so I totally don't miss that functionality! And it was easy to get a third party stainless strap at a decent price, a huge thing for me with any smartwatch because I get a rash from silicone and all the other materials pretty fast.

for instance, asking siri to heat the bed or setting up a custom automation to start heating/cooling the bed based on whether you are home and the temperature outside

You still have a phone that has app support?

It's mind boggling that people actually buy an ultra replica to use as a watch. There are so many better looking watches out there. The only reason to get the apple watch is for the sensors.

I think I got a similar one, it's an Apple Ultra knock-off for Android - $32 - and while it is a little basic, it does so much more that the one shown in this video, it looks good, does a pretty good job AND plays music as a party trick! AliExpress rocks!
