Nothing's CMF Watch 3 Pro debuts with ChatGPT and larger display, but leaves mixed signals
The latest smartwatch from Nothing's CMF Watch 3 Pro launched globally on Tuesday under its affordable CMF sub brand. It improves the heart rate sensor, battery life of up to 13 days, ChatGPT integration and GPS tracking capabilities of its predecessor but it gives up on some of its customisability. Priced at $99 (approximately ₹ 4,999) and currently available for $79 (around ₹ 3,999), the CMF Watch 3 Pro is aimed at budget smartwatch users looking beyond basic step counts and call alerts. It looks ambitious at first glance, but in practice, the watch feels caught between trying to be smart and playing it safe. The CMF Watch Pro 3 keeps a familiar look, much like the Watch Pro 2, but brings a few small changes. The 1.43 inch AMOLED display is slightly larger than the previous 1.32 inch, giving about a 10% bump in screen to body ratio. It also supports an always on display, comes with a metal case, and has silicone straps. That extra bit of screen space does help, especially when glancing at data or navigating through tiles. The standout feature of the CMF Watch 3 Pro is its ChatGPT integration, which lets users speak to the watch for quick responses like weather updates, setting timers, or general queries. Since there's no speaker, replies show up as text on the screen. This makes the interaction feel more like a visual shortcut than real voice assistance. Still, it remains a rare feature at this price. The dual band GPS makes a real difference, especially in crowded or signal prone areas. Nothing says this is a big step up from the Watch Pro 2, helping it hold a stronger signal and follow routes more clearly even in places where regular GPS might struggle. The smartwatch takes about 99 minutes to completely charge. Nothing says it can last up to 13 days with regular use, which is about two days more than the last model. With heavier health tracking, battery life drops to around 11 days. If you keep the always on display turned on, expect around 4.5 days of use. Health tracking on the CMF Watch 3 Pro covers the basics well, offering heart rate, sleep, stress, and menstrual cycle tracking, along with 130 workout modes. Smartwatch users can now manage these features using the updated Nothing X app, which brings a cleaner interface and support for syncing with Strava, Apple Health, and Google Health Connect. Nothing also confirmed that previous models like Watch Pro and Watch Pro 2 will gradually move to the same app environment. The battery life of this smartwatch is said to last up to 13 days with basic usage and about 6 to 7 days with regular health tracking. A full charge takes about 90 minutes using the magnetic cable. The CMF Watch 3 Pro gets some key things right. The sharper display, better GPS, and ChatGPT support do lift the experience in small but clear ways. ChatGPT is fun to show off, but you'll likely stop using it after the first few days. Still, the software keeps it in check. You can't reply to messages, store music, or use third-party apps. It looks smart and does the basics well, but for those expecting full smartwatch depth, it's not quite there yet.

We tested Nothing Headphone 1, the most unique looking over-ears on the market
Tech upstart Nothing has sparked a lot of debate after launching its first attempt at a futuristic style of headphones. The Carl Pei led firm has again steered away from today's tech design norms to further carve out its identity with another unique aesthetic. Headphone 1 look and feel premium. They employ the firm's now trademark translucent design language that enables some components to be on display, and look retro and futuristic at the same time. The only gripe is the softshell carrying case is quite large to accommodate the way the cans fold flat when not in use. But if you don't travel or commute much, this won't be such a big deal. READ MORE: Nothing Phone 3a review: is this the best smartphone you can buy for less than €400? READ MORE: Nothing confirms new Eir partnership ahead of launch of Phone 3 flagship Nothing Headphone 1 everyday use Nothing has curated a sound profile that perfectly matches the luxurious style of Headphone 1, while the Nothing X app unlocks the full potential of these cans. They feel like a vacation for your ears as the soft cushioning allows for unbelievable comfort even during lengthy listening sessions whether at home, at the gym or on a walk. Headphone 1 employ Nothing's trademark translucent design language that enables some components to be on display (Image: Nothing) As well as this, the effective passive and active noise cancellation (ANC) of the Nothing Headphone 1 allows you to exist in this bubble of comfort and luxury without distraction. And with no connectivity or stability issues, it's easy to enjoy your favourite tunes for hours on end. There's a decent Transparency mode for making and taking calls too. Headphone 1 feature custom-made 40mm audio drivers and support the standard SBC and AAC codecs along with the higher quality LDAC codec. Renowned audio brand KEF was integral in shaping the sound of these cans, and their moniker adorns the left earcup. They sound decent right out of the box, both bright and lively. Music isn't all they're good for, thanks to the new Spatial Audio that Nothing has introduced on these headphones. It's enabled in the Nothing X app. Watching your favourite show or playing a new video game is so immersive it feels like you're one of the characters on screen. Spatial Audio isn't the only feature that the Nothing X app opens up. The app allows the listener to fully customise the controls and the sound profile, making every set feel personal.

If you also own a Nothing Phone 3, the circular multifunction button can be used to channel hop between your five favourite apps. Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity is included along with fast-charging and on-head detection which automatically plays and pauses your content when you put on or remove the cans. If wireless connectivity isn't your thing, that's not a problem, as the headphones come with a cable in the box. They are IP52-rated for dust and water resistance. Headphone 1 deliver up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC switched on and an impressive 80 hours with it turned off. However, this depends greatly on the volume you are listening to your content at. In Ireland, they cost less than €300, which is well below the likes of Sony's flagship WH-1000XM6 and Apple's AirPods Max. Headphone 1 verdict Headphone 1 blend fashion and functionality (Image: Nothing) Nothing has pulled no punches in making these headphones feel like a gift of luxury sent from the future. Headphone 1 are a perfect blend of fashion and functionality and hopefully the start of a new era of audio. Nothing is making a statement with these cans, taking big risks in many aspects of its design and features. And their light and soft design makes it easy to forget you're even wearing them. Overall, Headphone 1 is a great choice for anyone looking for a pair of high-end over-ears who has tired of the bland styling offered by other brands. In a world where minimalism and monotony dominate the tech industry, I think Nothing is doing something truly incredible with their devices and I always look forward to what they'll do next. Pricing and availability Nothing Headphone 1 cost €299 from You can also buy them from Amazon. Product review and testing by Ryan Kavanagh. Edited by Mark Kavanagh.
