Nothing has launched the CMF Watch 3 Pro, and it’s clearly a step forward — 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’s plenty new here to talk about — from a larger screen to longer battery life and smarter features.
Bigger Display, Sharper Details
Let’s 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.
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) — a welcome touch.
Battery Life You Can Count On
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’s an upgrade over the CMF Watch Pro 2, which had a 305mAh battery and offered up to 11 days of use.
Design, Size & Colour Options
The watch now measures 47mm in width, and the depth and weight vary slightly based on the colour you choose:
-
Dark Grey – 14.4mm, 51.9g
-
Light Grey – 15.2mm, 51.0g
-
Orange – 14.5mm, 52.4g
Build-wise, you get a metal body with a liquid silicone strap. Unlike before, the bezel is fixed, so if you’re someone who likes swapping things around, your only customisation option now is the removable strap.
Fitness Features That Actually Matter
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.
The watch is IP68-rated, so it’s 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.
Smart Features: ChatGPT, Bluetooth Calls & More
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’s 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.
On the connectivity front, there’s 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.
Global Availability and Price
The CMF Watch 3 Pro is now live on nothing.tech and will soon be available through major retail channels. The price is $99 / £99 / €99, although US buyers can currently grab it for a discounted price of $79. That’s still pricier than the $69 / £69 / €69 launch tag of the CMF Watch Pro 2, but the upgrades may just justify the jump.
