I’ve had the CMF phone/watch pro 2 combo since November of 2024 and I’ve been in love since then (discovered I can use the thumbscrew to hold a string charm with my tamagotchi on it 🙂 ) but a lot of the watch faces don’t have as many widgets as I usually have, are lacking animation, and lacking color. Prior to my switch to CMF I had a Samsung Galaxy watch, and one of my favorite things on it was an app that had a bunch of watch faces made by a community using an easy to use creator tool, I even made a few! I feel with the community creation oriented CMF brand this is a natural next step when it comes to watch faces, and maybe even watch apps.
A few other suggestions I have
Orientation switch for CMF watch, I wear my watch on my left hand, and having the dial directly where my wrist bends causes a lot of accidental input
A way to send texts using the built in microphone, a lot of times I’m walking or doing something else, and then I’ll remember I needed to text someone. Instead of having to bring out your whole phone, an app to text while connected to a phone would be amazing
A way to add reminders on the watch (again, via that microphone) and maybe a points system for the reminders to assist with motivation (maybe unlock components for custom watch faces?)
Having the assistant feature on the watch, use microphone input and speaker output also on the watch
And maybe a version of the snake game for CMF watch and nothing watch? Would be great when waiting in line or waiting for the train 🙂
I have plenty more suggestions for nothing widgets and even accessories for CMF and design ideas for nothing phone, I’m a disabled adult living in America, so I don’t have much to do, the community aspect of Nothing has given me a joy I haven’t felt since I was a teen in the local convention scene, I hope everyone reading this has a nice day 🙂 thank you!
Update as of 3/11/2025
Hello friends! Back with more watch suggestions, including ideas for the next CMF watch!
Firstly, id like to take note of the connection issues with CMF watch, and propose an easy fix, a lock screen widget, just a little button with an icon, and when you press it, it reconnects CMF watch with the app.
Now let’s get into the shorter ideas
- The ability to see tomorrows upcoming events in the watches calendar app
- More accurate sleep tracking, sometimes I sleep and it says I got two hours when I know that is not the case
- ECG functionality in a future CMF/nothing watch
- Merge nothing watch and CMF app, just remove some features from CMF watch and make the crown a screw for accessories (small radio antennae for listening to the radio for Bluetooth headphones? Emphasises the gadget aesthetic of CMF that I love so much)(sidenote: NFC crown that can be sold separately? Makes up for lack of NFC on CMF phone as well)
- Color themes other than black white and red, but keep the nice dot matrix vibe, also take note of this for nothing widgets
Thanks for listening to me ramble about CMF 🙂 been keeping me busy while I deal with the American Medical system, hoping to get a 3d printer eventually? might post about accessories I make with it, have a nice day 🙂
