While most fitness trackers are losing the screens to keep the price low, the CMF by Nothing Watch 3 Pro is a bit different. The budget-friendly smartwatch with a 1.43-inch OLED display is even cheaper than usual at Amazon, where it costs $69 in every color (the price fluctuates between $79 and $99). Some notable specs include compatibility with iOS and Android, and long battery life of up to 13 days on a single charge. It’s great for workouts (with accurate, dual-band GPS, IP68 protection, and a heart rate sensor), but stylish enough to wear out to dinner. It currently costs $20 less than the screenless Google Fitbit Air.
I’ve had trouble sticking with smartwatches in the past, but I picked up a Watch 3 Pro during a similar sale a few months ago, and I often reach for it over my beloved Casio GA-2100. It helps that I rarely have to worry about keeping it charged thanks to its impressive battery life. Even with the always-on display enabled, I can usually wear the Watch 3 Pro for two or three days of constant use before I have to charge it.
The Watch 3 Pro has a big, eye-catching face, and is available in four different colors, each with their own bezel shape, detailing, and color-coordinated strap. The Nothing X app has a ton of different face options to choose from, with some that are heavy on complications, and others that focus on fun and style. I have the light green model and I’ve gotten quite a few compliments, although I also like the orange model for a more fitness-focused look. It’s a little large, which is my preference for watches anyway, but it does make it a little uncomfortable for sleep tracking.
If $69 is a little too much, consider the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2, which is currently $39 (usually $55) at Amazon. The newer model has upgraded GPS, a more accurate heart rate monitor, longer battery life, and a slightly larger screen. But the older version uses the same app, and has swappable bezels to customize the look.
