You’ve probably heard of the upstart tech brand Nothing by now, but if you haven’t, here’s a quick TLDR: The UK-based tech startup aims to make products like cellphones and headphones that incorporate innovative features and designs that are an incredible value for the money. The company just released their new smartwatch this month, the CMF Watch 3 Pro , and it’s already discounted by 20%. Originally $99, you can now grab one for $79, unsurprisingly the lowest price since the recent release.
The CMF Watch 3 Pro is designed for “everyday users and casual fitness explorers” and just given the price, its already a strong contender for best budget smartwatch/fitness tracker of 2025. The most impressive aspect of this watch is its direct ChatGPT integration: You can use voice prompts to ask the chatbot questions or set reminders, among other things. One neat feature is its ability to record voices and auto-transcribe conversations or notes (great for work meetings or class). How well it works, though, remains a bit of an open question, as it has yet to be widely reviewed.
If you’ve used the CMF Watch 2 Pro, you’ll already be familiar with the design, which hasn’t changed much. It’s still got a round display with a rotating crown on the top right, thought the display is a bit bigger—1.43 inches compared to the Watch 2 Pro’s 1.32 inches. Nothing kept the auto brightness adjustment, which is determined by the built-in sensor and makes it very practical to walk outdoors from a dimmer indoor setting and vice versa. They also kept the dual-band GPS support with access to five satellite systems, providing greater accuracy when tracking your outdoor activities.
The real upgrades come mainly from the software. The Watch 3 Pro has over 130 sport modes, compared to 120 on the older model. The battery now lasts 13 days with a single charge, which is two days longer than before. It’s certainly in the running for the best sub-$100 smartwatch you can buy right now.
