Nothing sub-brand CMF by Nothing has officially launched the new CMF Watch 3 Pro, which comes with several upgrades over the previous model, including a larger screen, improved battery life, and unfortunately, a higher price.

Bigger and Brighter Display

The Watch 3 Pro features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, which is slightly larger than the 1.32-inch screen on the older model. It’s also a bit brighter, reaching 650 nits, and offers a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels with a 60Hz refresh rate. Users can choose from over 120 watch faces, including animated and interactive ones. Some of these are specially designed for the Always-On Display (AOD) mode.

Better Battery Life

This new smartwatch packs a 350mAh battery, which can last up to 13 days in normal use (without AOD) and about 3.5 days with AOD enabled. A full charge takes around 99 minutes. In comparison, the older model had a smaller 305mAh battery with up to 11 days of usage.

Stylish Build and Colors

The CMF Watch 3 Pro comes with a metal body and soft silicone straps. It’s available in three colors: Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Orange. Each variant has slight differences in weight and thickness due to the bezel design, but the bezel is fixed and can’t be changed — only the straps are removable.

Features for Fitness and Connectivity

The Watch 3 Pro supports 131 sports modes, including HIIT, yoga, and more. It can automatically detect workouts and guide users through warm-up exercises using 3D animations.

For outdoor use, it offers dual-band GPS (L1 + L5) and supports multiple satellite systems like GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. The watch is also IP68 rated, meaning it’s water and dust resistant (but not suitable for swimming).

Smart Features

The watch allows Bluetooth calling with two microphones, a speaker, and AI noise reduction. It also supports gesture controls like flipping or double-shaking the wrist to perform actions.

In a unique addition, ChatGPT is built into the watch to answer questions and offer help, including a running coach feature. Users can record voice notes that are automatically transcribed, and the Essential News feature can read out the latest headlines.

Price and Availability

The CMF Watch 3 Pro is priced at $99 / £99 / €99, but is currently available for a discounted price of $79 in the US. However, it is not yet available in India, and there’s no listing on Flipkart at the moment.

Nothing has released a big new update for its Essential Space feature. This update brings powerful tools that make the AI interface more useful, personal, and easy to control.

What is Essential Space?

Essential Space is a smart feature that was first launched with the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. It helps users collect, manage, and remember information better by using AI tools. It is accessed by separate button called Essential Key.

What’s New in This Update?

• Google Calendar Integration:

• 
  Now, your tasks and events created by AI in Essential Space will automatically appear in your Google Calendar. This makes it easier to stay on top of your schedule.
• Editable Memory:

• 
  You can now edit the tasks and summaries made by the AI. If the AI makes a mistake — like the wrong meeting time — you can fix it yourself.

• Essential Recorder (Now Editable):
  Record meetings, interviews, or conversations, and get AI-made summaries and transcripts. A new “Flip-to-Record” feature lets you start recording just by placing your phone face down — a simple and private way to capture audio.

• Essential Recorder (Now Shareable):
  You can now share your recordings as images, PDFs, or Markdown files with just one tap.

Availability

These new Essential Recorder features are already available on the Nothing Phone (3). They will soon come to the Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, and CMF Phone 2 Pro.

Please note:
The Flip-to-Record feature will only work on the Phone (3).

The Essential Space update will be delivered automatically through the Google Play Store.

Nothing has started rolling out the first official software update for the newly launched Nothing Phone (3). This update does not bring a new OS version, as it remains on Nothing OS 3.5, but the build number has changed to Metroid-V3.5-250711-2047-IND. The update size is 257 MB and includes several new features, improvements, and bug fixes that enhance the overall experience.

One of the key improvements is to the Glyph Interface. A new Caller ID feature has been added, allowing users to long-press the Glyph button during a call to display the contact’s name or phone number. The Essential Notification system now supports selecting either built-in or custom icons. Users will also get access to generative ringtones that include Glyph Matrix lighting effects and randomly generated vibrations. In addition, the visual effects of the Glyph interface have been improved, the stability of Glyph Toys has been enhanced, and the Glyph button is now more responsive to avoid accidental touches.

The Essential Space feature has also been upgraded. It now supports “Flip to Record,” which lets users flip the phone face down and long-press the Essential Key to instantly start taking meeting notes. These notes are automatically saved in a to-do list format, making it easier to organize tasks.

The camera system has received some significant updates as well. Core imaging enhancements have been made to improve HDR, Night Mode, and Snapshot scenes for both front and rear cameras. These changes result in better brightness control and cleaner images. HDR video processing has also been improved, offering more natural brightness and better display performance. The UltraXDR Display has been upgraded too, ensuring smoother transitions between highlights and shadows.

There are many other system improvements included in this update. The performance of a popular battle royale game has been boosted to support 120 FPS, and Wi-Fi latency has been reduced during gaming for a better experience. Private Space now allows users to switch the default Gallery app, and pocket mode has been improved to prevent accidental touches. The audio experience has also been refined by fixing noise issues that occurred while toggling spatial audio during music playback.

The update also addresses slow or inconsistent charging problems and fixes an abnormal battery level display after charging. Lastly, overall system performance and power consumption have been optimized to ensure a more stable and efficient experience.
