Nothing is gearing up to introduce a ton of new technology to its budget-friendly CMF lineup, including the CMF Phone 1, CMF Buds Pro 2, and the CMF Watch Pro 2 on July 8. We don’t know many of the details behind these products yet, but it has announced a pretty unique design feature that will be appearing on the Watch Pro 2: interchangeable bezels.
Details haven't been divulged yet, but in an image shared online by Nothing we see that it's possible to unclip the Watch Pro 2's default bezel. It can then likely be replaced with options with different thicknesses or aesthetics to further customize the style of your smartwatch beyond the strap and digital watch face. This is what we saw on the Xiaomi Watch S3's interchangeable bezels when it debuted a few months ago.
While for many people price and specs will be the main deciding factors, design is an important consideration for some when purchasing their accessories, smart or not. And in general, that's one area where smartwatches have struggled, with their designs often featuring a variation of the same slightly futuristic, metallic look. The CMF Watch Pro 2 could change things for the better in this regard.
It also ties into what appears to be the main focus of this upcoming CMF release: lots of customization.
Customization is the key
As for the watch, Nothing has said you can “create watch faces to suit your daily needs” to personalise the details and features you want to access quickly. Meanwhile, images of the CMF Phone 1 have shown very different versions of its backplate.

Some feature a stand, others a carabiner-style clip, and others display what appears to be a battery pack. You can probably switch between these options by unscrewing the screws that Nothing has proudly highlighted on social media along with a CMF screwdriver.
The only fairly standard-looking product in this line is the Buds Pro 2, though we'll have to wait and see what Nothing announces on July 8.
