Nothing has launched the CMF Watch 3 Pro, and it\u2019s clearly a step forward \u2014 though it comes with a higher price tag. What’s a bit odd is the naming: the previous model was the Watch Pro 2, but the new one is called the Watch 3 Pro. Numbering aside, there\u2019s plenty new here to talk about \u2014 from a larger screen to longer battery life and smarter features.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the visuals. The CMF Watch 3 Pro gets a clean, minimal look with a precision-milled metal frame and a soft-touch silicone strap that feels light and comfortable on the wrist. The display has grown to 1.43 inches, up from 1.32 inches on the previous model. Brightness has also improved slightly to 650 nits typical brightness, and the resolution is now 466 x 466 pixels with a crisp 326 ppi and 60Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n
The watch supports over 120 watch faces, including animated and interactive designs. You still get the handy rotating crown for navigating the UI, and some watch faces are optimized for Always-On Display (AOD) \u2014 a welcome touch.<\/p>\n
Battery life has seen a good bump. With a 350mAh battery, the CMF Watch 3 Pro promises up to 13 days of typical usage without AOD, and around 3.5 days with AOD enabled. A full top-up takes about 99 minutes. That\u2019s an upgrade over the CMF Watch Pro 2, which had a 305mAh battery and offered up to 11 days of use.<\/p>\n
The watch now measures 47mm in width, and the depth and weight vary slightly based on the colour you choose:<\/p>\n
Dark Grey \u2013 14.4mm, 51.9g<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Light Grey \u2013 15.2mm, 51.0g<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Orange \u2013 14.5mm, 52.4g<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Build-wise, you get a metal body with a liquid silicone strap. Unlike before, the bezel is fixed, so if you\u2019re someone who likes swapping things around, your only customisation option now is the removable strap.<\/p>\n
If you’re into fitness or casual workouts, the CMF Watch 3 Pro has you covered. It supports 131 sports modes, ranging from HIIT to yoga, and comes with automatic workout detection. One neat addition is the animated 3D warm-up guides, which can walk you through pre-exercise routines.<\/p>\n
The watch is IP68-rated, so it\u2019s splash-resistant (though not meant for swimming). Outdoor tracking is more precise too, thanks to dual-band GPS (L1+L5) and support for GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS systems.<\/p>\n
The CMF Watch 3 Pro brings a few surprising extras. Most notably, it has ChatGPT integration, meaning you can ask the assistant questions directly from your wrist. It\u2019s also used to power the built-in running coach and Essential News, which reads out current headlines based on your interests. You can even record voice notes, which get transcribed automatically.<\/p>\n
On the connectivity front, there\u2019s Bluetooth calling through two MEMS microphones and a speaker, with AI-powered noise reduction for clearer audio. You can use smart gesture controls, and toggles like music controls and Do Not Disturb mode are always within reach.<\/p>\n
The CMF Watch 3 Pro is now live on nothing.tech and will soon be available through major retail channels. The price is $99 \/ \u00a399 \/ \u20ac99, although US buyers can currently grab it for a discounted price of $79. That\u2019s still pricier than the $69 \/ \u00a369 \/ \u20ac69 launch tag of the CMF Watch Pro 2, but the upgrades may just justify the jump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
