Nothing has always been a very design-focused company, but under its sub-brand CMF, that's an even bigger consideration. Every device released by CMF By Nothing places a lot of focus on looks, and the craziest part is that its portfolio manages to do that while releasing products at a relatively low price point.
In today's episode, CMF has just unveiled the newest entry into its wearable arsenal, and that device is the CMF Watch 3 Pro. The smartwatch brings several solid upgrades over the previous model, and unsurprisingly, you get AI features thrown in. What's really crazy is its pricing though. For a smartwatch, the CMF Watch 3 Pro is dirt cheap.
The CMF Watch 3 Pro Comes in Three Very Modern and Stylish Designs
The CMF Watch 3 Pro comes in three colorways, but what makes this product unique is that each colorway comes with a unique design. You can choose between:
- Dark Grey
- Light Grey
- Orange
The Light Grey option is perfect for those who want a Teenage Engineering sort of vibe. The rounded frame adds to that. The Orange and Dark Grey colorways are a little more similar, with a flat frame, though the Orange option is naturally a “louder” choice. And despite the price, you do get a metal body.
Keep in mind that the device is only available in one case size: 47mm; that puts it on the bigger side. IP68 certification sticks around.
This Smartwatch Gets Several Upgrades Over the CMF Watch Pro 2
The spec sheet for the CMF Watch 3 Pro is pretty solid, not just when you consider its pricing, but when you consider what it brings that its predecessor simply didn't have. Let's take a quick look.
| CMF Watch 3 Pro | |
| Screen Size | 1.43 inches, 466 x 466 |
| Peak Brightness | 650 nits |
| Refresh Rate | 60Hz |
| Battery | 350mAh |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.3, Dual-Band GPS (L1+L5) |
| Sensors | Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Heart Rate, SpO2, Ambient Light |
To make things clear, compared to its predecssor, this smartwatch gets a bigger screen, and it's brighter too. Its battery gains 45mAh, which should extend use to 13 days—2 more than before. The dual-band GPS and the heart rate sensor are both improved.
The Software Features Get a Little Boost, Including AI
Of course, there has to be a lot of love for the software, because CMF isn't able to ride on the already-built Wear OS for this smartwatch. To be honest, it might be better to call it a fitness tracker. Semantics? Maybe.
There's support for Always-On Display this year, and that'll be a major perk for a lot of people. You also get up to 120 watch faces out of the box. There are also 131 sports modes, so as long as the activity you engage in isn't completely obscure, you'll probably be able to track it. In fact, smart activity detection means it can actually start tracking exactly what you're doing on its own.
And it'd be wrong for me not to mention that the watch comes with ChatGPT built in. Your questions can be answered more conveniently than ever, and recorded voice notes can instantly be transcribed.
The CMF Watch 3 Pro Pricing
The CMF Watch 3 Pro will be available in the US, the UK, and Europe. It costs $99 in the US, and the same number whether you're buying in euros or pounds. This is almost 50% more expensive than its predecessor, but you do get a lot more for the price.
However, for now, the watch is being discounted to $79. It's not clear for how long this will be, so you might want to take advantage of it as soon as you can.
