A slick device with a clean aesthetic, the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro is a world away from some of the noisier offerings in the smartwatch market, and it looks good and understated. <\/p>\n
Its style is very Nothing, a British minimalist tech brand best known for its stripped-back and stylish smartphones. CMF is its sub-brand, aimed at the budget market. <\/p>\n
Aided by a scrollable and clickable wheel on the watch\u2019s rim, you access features and apps through a bright, 1.43\u201d AMOLED touch screen. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot going on under that glass. You can make Bluetooth calls, use the on-board torch, read your step count, and get heart rate, sleep \u201crating\u201d, blood oxygen measurements, see your stress levels and more. Out on a cycle, it tracked the distance well and gave me useful heart rate readings, offering a training score and recovery time when I was done. There\u2019s a whole suite of other fitness aids on top. <\/p>\n
It was a pleasure to use. The crispness of the screen and style gave it a laidback feel, but it had enough data to be useful as a sports or smart watch. <\/p>\n
A fly in the ointment, though, is accuracy, especially of the heart rate monitor. It may raise your eyebrows. Yes, I was excited to tuck into my new book while sitting on the sofa, but can my heart rate really have reached 142? Take the readings with a pinch of salt, but perhaps that\u2019s what you can expect, given the RRP. <\/p>\n
Functionality, fun, and character, with caveats \u2014 not bad for under \u00a3100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A slick device with a clean aesthetic, the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro is a world away from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[2175,589,330,85,46,2174,334,920,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-131383","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-fitness","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-running","14":"tag-smartwatches","15":"tag-tech","16":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
