CMF by Nothing's New Affordable Lineup Includes Smartwatch, Earbuds
When Nothing released its first Ear true wireless earbuds, they were little more than a curiosity. That led to the Nothing Phone (1) and then to sequels for both devices. Now, through its sub-brand CMF, the company is back to releasing new affordable products: a $69 smartwatch, $49 earbuds, and a $39 GaN power brick.
The $69 Watch Pro smartwatch might be the most standout product from CMF, given its price. For $69, you get a smartwatch that we'll generously call "inspired" by the Apple Watch. But you won't get WearOS (let alone watchOS) on this device.
What you will get is a 1.96-inch square AMOLED display, support for GPS, heart rate tracking, and SpO2 sensors. If you like to answer calls from your wrist, the Watch Pro can manage that, along with tracking sleep, stress, and workouts. You'll get a variety of clock faces to choose from as well. CMF claims the watch will last 13 days on a single charge.
The new $49 Buds Pro earbuds offer noise cancellation and 11 hours of playback for a low price. They don't sport Nothing's traditional transparent look, and the buds themselves resemble AirPods. But by ditching the transparent look, you get a few color choices: dark gray, light gray, and orange. If 11 hours isn't long enough listening time, the case will get you another 39 hours, and fast charging will get you five hours of music in just 10 minutes.
Finally, the $39 Power 65W GaN charging brick is just what the name says on the tin. For your money, you get a 65-watt charging brick that the company says can take the Nothing Phone (2) from 0 to 50% in just 25 minutes. All three products will release "later this month."
