CMF by Nothing unveiled a rather nifty budget-friendly smartwatch recently called the CMF Watch 3 Pro with quite impressive specs, apparently. It positions itself as a feature-rich device boasting decent design and high performance at a surprisingly affordable price point. Priced at $99 in the US and £99 in the UK, the watch offers premium features like dual-band GPS and AI-powered fitness insights alongside built-in ChatGPT integration.The Watch 3 Pro’s vibrant 1.43-inch AMOLED display gets a boost with slimmer bezels and Always On support, making it a clear step up from its predecessor. It retains a sturdy metal build and IP68 dust and water resistance rating, and is available in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and an eye-catching Orange. Over 120 watchfaces are available for users, including some rather snazzy animated options that offer plenty of customization possibilities.
With its upgraded four-channel heart rate sensor, the Watch 3 Pro promises more accurate readings, no matter your skin tone or workout style. The real highlight, though, is the dual-band, five-system GPS — built for seriously accurate tracking, whether you’re sprinting, cycling, or scaling a hill. Over 130 sports modes are available alongside features such as blood oxygen monitoring, stress tracking, and guided breathing exercises. Women’s health tracking is included as well.
This year, a pretty cool feature is the AI-generated post-workout summary offering heaps of feedback on training load and recovery estimates — even for 5K runs. Auto-detection of seven super popular exercise routines happens automatically, eliminating the need for manual tracking right from the get-go.
Users can access ChatGPT directly from their watch (when paired with a smartphone), record voice memos with automatic transcription, and get daily news updates via the Essential News tool. Bluetooth calling has been ramped up significantly with the addition of a secondary microphone for markedly better voice clarity.
CMF touts battery performance as a highlight, with up to 13 days of usage on a full charge and roughly 4.5 days with all bells and whistles activated. Filling up from zero percent takes around 99 minutes — pretty quick to reach full capacity.
CMF hasn’t confirmed the India release date yet, although the Watch 3 Pro has launched globally with much fanfare overseas.
