Samsung's Galaxy Watch gets £99 rival that's way better than its price suggests
Watch out Apple and Samsung, there's a new wearable arriving in the UK and it only costs £99. This latest budget smartwatch is being launched by the UK team at Nothing. This fledgling technology firm already makes some top-notch smartphones, and now they are adding to their portfolio via a sub-brand called CMF.
Some CMF devices launched last year and now there's another gadget coming to the range with the CMF Watch 3 Pro now on sale.
It costs just £99, which is far cheaper than all of its biggest rivals, but that low cost doesn't mean bargain basement features.
For under £100, you get a wearable with a vibrant 1.43-inch AMOLED display with ultra-thin bezels, over 120 custom watch faces and battery life that can last a whopping 13 days.
Its design is fully waterproof, there's fast charging and even smart ChatGPT integration.
Of course, like all watches, Nothing boasts that its new CMF Watch 3 Pro can keep an eye on your health and daily fitness levels. This device offers heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen and even how stressed out you are.
When it's time for some exercise, it will track those workouts and even offer advice on all-important cool downs and recovery.
As we mentioned before, the Watch 3 Pro will be priced at £99 and is available in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Orange
“We designed Watch 3 Pro to be the perfect starting point for anyone beginning their health and fitness journey,” said Andrew Freshwater, Head of Smart Products Marketing at Nothing. “Whether you’re getting into running, building better habits, or just want something that looks great on your wrist, Watch 3 Pro delivers a smart, stylish experience that makes it easy to stay on track without overcomplicating things.”
If Samsung's wearables still sound more appealing, then some new Galaxy Watches are going on sale this week, which get new designs, a faster processor and even a sensor that measures antioxidants in the body.
The new Watch8 starts from £319, with the Watch 8 Classic costing £443.
