Nothing released the new CMF Watch 3 Pro globally on Tuesday. It belongs to their low-cost CMF line. The heart rate sensor is more efficient. Battery life is almost two weeks. You may apply ChatGPT. It possesses GPS. It was deprived of some of the custom tweaks of the previous version, but it acquired some grit. It costs 99 dollars (approximately ₹4,999), but you can get it now at 79 dollars (around ₹3,999). It is aimed at people who desire more than steps and buzzes on the wrist.
It attempts to accomplish much. Perhaps, excessively. The watch desires to be smart but is safe. It resembles the previous one a lot. Not bad. The AMOLED screen is larger than before (1.43 inches). Not very much, but enough. Approximately, an additional ten percent of display. Always on as well. Metal. Has silicone straps. It’s solid. The additional display is useful when you are viewing the statistics or swiping tiles. Not a revolution, but it stands its own.
ChatGPT Integration and Dual-Band GPS Offer Smart Enhancements
The most notable feature in the CMF Watch 3 Pro is the usage of ChatGPT. The users can use simple words to say what they want to do, request the weather, set a timer, and ask general questions. It has no speaker, and the answers are displayed in text. The outcome is more of an eye shortcut than a real voice communication. However, such a feature is not common in a device of this price range.
The fact that it includes dual-band GPS is more than a technicality. It provides better tracking in areas where the signals are likely to be lost- congested streets, thick vegetation or congested areas. The company says this is a definite step up on the previous model that did not perform well in such conditions. The routes are logged more precisely, and there are fewer signal drops. The charging process between empty and full is less than 100 minutes.
The battery is reported to have thirteen days of life under normal usage, which is approximately two days more than the earlier model. That number drops to eleven when more advanced health features are employed. With the always-on screen turned on, it lasts even less, and there are approximately four and a half days until the next recharge is required.
Health Tracking and Fitness Features Deliver Reliability Without Innovation
The CMF Watch 3 Pro handles standard health monitoring with little fuss. It tracks heart rate, sleep patterns, stress levels, and the menstrual cycle. In addition, it supports 130 types of physical activity. These functions are now managed through the redesigned Nothing X app, which offers a simpler layout and allows data to sync with Strava, Apple Health, and Google Health Connect. The company has also stated that older models, including the Watch Pro and Watch Pro 2, will gradually adopt this same platform.
On light use, the battery can hold out for nearly thirteen days. With more frequent tracking of health metrics, that figure drops to about six or seven. A full recharge, carried out with the magnetic cable, takes around an hour and a half.
Strong Hardware and Feature Set Let Down by Software Limitations
The CMF Watch 3 Pro does well in some key aspects. Its more legible screen, better location tracking, and ChatGPT integration all bring something to the table, but none of them is revolutionary. The chatbot is new at first, but it seems more of a novelty than a tool that one would use every day, and its novelty wears off fast.
Nonetheless, the software has restrictions. You are not able to respond to messages, save music or install applications outside of what is already there. It looks good and handles the basics just fine, but it is not an adequate substitute to a full smartwatch.
Final words
The CMF Watch 3 Pro is in that strange no-man-land between ambition and reality and reality takes it by a hair. Nothing has made a device that is undoubtedly capable, ticking off the boxes like a good student revising before exams. It costs 79 dollars, and you cannot really complain about a watch that monitors your morning jogging more effectively than its predecessor and can inform you about the weather forecast of the next day in the form of text messages.
However, hoping that it will be able to substitute your smartphone notifications or serve as your digital assistant may disappoint you as much as a person who asks Siri how to improve their relationships. The CMF Watch 3 Pro is a cheap fitness tracker with smart aspirations, but with an emphasis on aspirations. It is not revolutionary, but at least it is dependable to the point that you can strap it to your wrist without feeling that you have compromised on digital mediocrity.
