CMF by Nothing has just launched their new smartwatch — the CMF Watch 3 Pro. At first glance, it seems like a very strong budget contender. While there are plenty of affordable smartwatches that skip serious fitness tracking to cut costs, this one tries to do both without skimping on features or design. Priced at just $99 in the USA, 99 Pounds in the UK and 99 Euros in Europe, the new smartwatch brings a few features usually reserved for pricier watches, like dual-band GPS, AI-driven workout summaries, and even built-in ChatGPT support.
The CMF Watch 3 Pro comes with a larger 1.43-inch AMOLED display, offering Always On support and thinner bezels compared to its predecessor. It still has a metal body, IP68 dust and water resistance, and is available in Dark Grey, Light Grey and a bold Orange. You also get over 120 watchfaces to choose from, including animated options, with enough personalisation options for most users.
In terms of fitness and health features, CMF has added a new four-channel heart rate sensor that claims better accuracy for users across all skin tones and workout intensities. The big addition this year is dual-band, five-system GPS, which should make outdoor runs and cycling routes more accurate. You also get over 130 sports modes, blood oxygen monitoring, stress tracking, breathing guidance, and women’s health features.
One of the standout additions is the AI-powered post-workout summary. It gives insights into your training load, recovery time, and even estimates your performance in 5K or 10K runs. It also auto-detects seven core activities, saving users from manually starting a workout each time.
As for smart features, CMF has added some surprising tools here. You can talk to ChatGPT from your wrist (as long as your phone is nearby), record voice notes with automatic transcriptions, and receive daily news summaries through its Essential News tool. Bluetooth calling is supported too, now with an extra microphone for clearer calls.
Battery life is also claimed to be another strong point. CMF says the Watch 3 Pro can last up to 13 days on a full charge, and around 4.5 days with everything turned on. A full top-up from 0 to 100 per cent takes about 99 minutes.
All said, this is a global launch, but there’s no official word yet on when the CMF Watch 3 Pro will arrive in India. That said, it’s likely not too far off. Last year, the CMF Watch Pro 2 launched in India, starting at Rs 4,999, so the big question is — how much do you think CMF will price the Watch 3 Pro at this time?
