After the surprising success of the CMF Watch Pro 2, it looks like Nothing (yep, the brand) is getting ready to go again — and this time, they’re aiming a little higher. Their affordable sub-brand, CMF, appears to be prepping the launch of the CMF Watch Pro 3.
If recent leaks are anything to go by, the announcement could be just around the corner. But here’s the thing — it’s not going to be quite as wallet-friendly as before.
According to a report by Marko Maslakovic at Gadget & Wearables (with confirmation echoed by GSMArena), the new model has already started popping up in retailer systems. And get this — it’s expected to launch in Europe at €99.
That’s a noticeable jump from the €69 price tag that made the Pro 2 such a hit when it launched back in July 2024.

The CMF Watch Pro 2 — one of the best bang-for-buck smartwatches of 2024 — is now available for just $39. With a crisp AMOLED display, built-in GPS, Bluetooth calling, and up to 11 days of battery life, this is a total steal. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s your chance.
Why the CMF Watch Pro 2 Surprised Everyone
Let’s be honest — no one expected much from the CMF Watch Pro 2. But it ended up being one of the best budget smartwatches of the year.
It nailed the essentials: a crisp 1.32″ AMOLED display, built-in GPS, Bluetooth calling, and that perfect battery life, often stretching over a week per charge. Add in a minimal, modern design, and you have a device that looks way more expensive than it is.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect. It lacked NFC, the syncing between the watch and app could be a bit flaky, and the interface sometimes lagged.
Also, for people with smaller wrists, the watch felt chunky. But at €69? Those flaws were easy to overlook.
So, What’s New With the CMF Watch Pro 3?
That’s the million-euro question. At this point, there’s no official word from CMF — no press release, no launch teaser, and no spec sheet.
What we do have is that backend leak, which shows the Watch Pro 3 is incoming, most likely in the same Dark Grey color as before.
And while the design may look familiar, the price increase to €99 suggests something meaningful is happening under the hood — or at least, we hope so.
Here’s What We’re Hoping They’ve Fixed or Upgraded
If CMF wants people to spend an extra €30, here are the upgrades we’re hoping to see:
- 💳 NFC support — being able to tap and pay is borderline essential these days.
- ⚙️ Smoother software — no one wants to deal with UI lag or stuttering when checking their heart rate.
- 🔄 Better syncing — especially for notifications and health tracking. It’s got to be seamless.
- 💡 More accurate sensors — whether it’s heart rate, sleep, or blood oxygen, better data = better trust.
- 🩶 A slimmer, sleeker design — something more comfortable and less bulky, especially for smaller wrists.
- 🔋 Battery life that holds up — even with new features, let’s hope the 7+ day battery stays intact.
Even ticking off three or four of these could make the price hike feel worth it.
Final Thoughts: Is It Still Worth It?
Honestly? Yeah — but it depends on the upgrades.
The CMF Watch Pro 2 earned a lot of love by keeping things simple, functional, and affordable.
If the CMF Watch Pro 3 keeps that core value and adds just a bit more polish and performance — especially NFC and smoother software — then €99 could still be a great deal.
That said, at this price, CMF steps into more competitive territory. There are a bunch of entry-level smartwatches now offering decent features around the €100 mark. So the Pro 3 can’t just be “good for the price” — it needs actually to deliver.
Still, CMF has proven it can punch above its weight. Now it just needs to show us it can grow up a little, without losing what made it so likable in the first place.
I’ll be watching for the official reveal. And if you’ve been thinking about buying a smartwatch soon… maybe wait a few more weeks. Something interesting might be right around the corner.
