As of August 18, 2026, Nothing’s U.S. store lists the newer CMF Watch 3 Pro and several earbud models. The latest confirmed 2026 audio announcement is the open-style CMF Clip Pro; a new CMF smartwatch has not been confirmed.
What is CMF by Nothing?
CMF is Nothing’s more affordable, design-led consumer-electronics brand. Its lineup includes watches, earbuds, headphones, phones and accessories, while Nothing also sells products under its main brand. CMF was introduced as a Nothing sub-brand; Android Central later reported a corporate restructuring and investment in India. That development does not mean CMF products are unrelated to Nothing.
What CMF launched first
CMF unveiled its debut products on September 26, 2023: the CMF Watch Pro, CMF Buds Pro and Power 65W GaN charger. At launch in the United States, the Watch Pro was priced at $69, the Buds Pro at $49 and the charger at $39. Those are historical launch prices, not current prices. The products had a limited Nothing Store Soho drop on September 30, followed by broader availability in October, according to the launch announcement.
CMF Watch Pro
The original Watch Pro paired a 1.96-inch AMOLED display with Bluetooth calling, multi-system GPS and health and fitness tracking. Nothing advertised battery life of up to 13 days under specified usage conditions. That is a manufacturer claim, not a guarantee of typical runtime. The watch was not a Wear OS model, according to contemporaneous CMF product information; buyers should not assume it offers Wear OS apps or services.
#1 Best Overall
- 50dB Adaptive Hybrid ANC: CMF Buds Pro 2 ANC earbuds automatically detect noise leakage between the earbuds and your ear canal to ensure optimal noise cancellation performance. With smart ambient sound recognition, they keep you alert during runs and focused in transparency mode.
- Smart Dial & Dual Connection: Customize volume, tracks, and noise modes directly via the smart case dial. Bluetooth 5.4 enables seamless multipoint connectivity, while 120ms low latency gives you a competitive edge in gaming—making these a top choice for Bluetooth earbuds.
- Dirac-Tuned Dual Drivers: Equipped with an 11mm ultra-bass driver and a 6mm tweeter, these noise cancelling earbuds support LDAC lossless audio transmission for rich, detailed sound. Dynamic Bass Boost 2.0 further refines the rhythm, creating an immersive listening experience.
- 6 HD Mics for Clear Voice: Compared to traditional wireless earbuds, the CMF by Nothing Buds Pro 2 triples the audio transmission rate and offers Hi-Res Audio support, preserving sound clarity. AI-enhanced microphones featuring Clear Voice Technology 3.0 ensure natural voice pickup and excellent call quality.
- 43-Hour Total with Fast Charging: Enjoy up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge and 43 hours total with the charging case. A 10-minute quick charge delivers 3 hours of playback—perfect for non-stop gaming, sleep, travel, and commuting. The IP55 waterproof design ensures durability and allows for a quick post-swim rinse.
CMF Buds Pro
The original Buds Pro were advertised with hybrid active noise cancellation rated up to 45 dB, Ultra Bass Technology and six microphones with Nothing’s Clear Voice Technology for calls. Nothing claimed up to 11 hours of playback from the earbuds with ANC off, or up to 39 hours including the case. These are stated maximums; ANC, volume, calls and other usage can change real-world battery life.
How the CMF lineup changed
In July 2024, CMF introduced the Phone 1, Watch Pro 2 and Buds Pro 2. The Watch Pro 2 carried forward the brand’s smartwatch approach with an interchangeable bezel design. The Buds Pro 2 were marketed with dual drivers, LDAC, Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification, Smart ANC rated up to 50 dB and a Smart Dial control. These launch details were reported by Khaleej Times; advertised ANC ratings alone do not establish how much noise a particular listener will hear.

The current CMF watch listed in the U.S.
As of August 18, 2026, Nothing’s U.S. CMF collection lists the CMF Watch 3 Pro, rather than presenting the Watch Pro 2 as the newest watch. Reporting describes the Watch 3 Pro as having an AMOLED display, dual-band GPS and AI fitness features, with battery life advertised up to 13 days. Battery estimates depend on settings and usage; GPS, calls and screen behavior can reduce runtime. The store’s displayed price varied across crawled versions, so a reliable current price should be taken from the live regional listing. See the Nothing U.S. CMF collection and Gadgets 360’s Watch 3 Pro coverage.
What is new in 2026?
CMF Clip Pro earbuds
The latest confirmed 2026 CMF audio announcement in the available reporting is the CMF Clip Pro, described as the brand’s first open-wearable-stereo, or clip-style, earbuds. Unlike sealed in-ear buds, this type of design sits outside or clips around the ear rather than plugging the ear canal with a silicone tip. Android Central reported details on July 31 and a launch scheduled for August 4, 2026, at 9 a.m. EDT / 6 a.m. PDT. That scheduled date has passed, but the report alone does not establish current stock or availability in every region. Check the Nothing U.S. store for a live listing.

An open design may suit people who dislike ear-tip pressure, but it generally provides less passive isolation than a sealed in-ear fit. Before choosing it for a particular setting, look for product-specific evidence about sound leakage, bass, wind handling, microphone performance and fit. Do not assume it will match sealed earbuds for noise cancellation or be suitable where maximum isolation is needed.
Is a new CMF watch coming with it?
No new CMF watch is confirmed in the cited reporting. CMF already lists the Watch 3 Pro, while the 2026 announcement concerns earbuds. A separate report discussed the possibility of a smartwatch under the main Nothing brand and said Nothing had not confirmed it; that rumor is not evidence of a CMF Watch 4 or a watch launching alongside Clip Pro. See Gadgets 360’s report and T3’s coverage.

CMF products currently listed in the U.S.
Nothing’s U.S. store listed the following CMF watches and audio products as of August 18, 2026. Listings and prices can change; this is a product-category snapshot, not a claim that every item is in stock at every moment.
| Product | Category | Consider it for | Key trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| CMF Watch 3 Pro | Smartwatch | Affordable smartwatch-style tracking and a large display | Check app support, GPS performance and phone-platform limitations; it is not a Wear OS substitute. |
| CMF Buds 2 Plus | In-ear earbuds | Everyday listening in a sealed-earbud format | A sealed fit may not suit listeners who dislike ear tips. |
| CMF Buds Pro 2 | In-ear earbuds | Buyers interested in the model’s dual-driver and Smart Dial features | Compare its live price and features with newer Buds 2 Plus before buying. |
| CMF Buds 2 and Buds 2a | In-ear earbuds | Price-sensitive buyers comparing entry-level options | Do not assume they offer the strongest ANC or codec support in the range. |
| CMF Clip Pro | Open/clip-style earbuds | Listeners who prefer an open fit over sealed ear tips | Confirm live regional availability and specifications; open designs generally isolate less. |
| CMF Headphone Pro | Over-ear headphones | Listeners seeking an over-ear alternative to earbuds | It is not a compact earbud or smartwatch replacement. |
The current U.S. lineup is visible in Nothing’s CMF collection. Prices and promotions are region- and date-dependent, so consult the store rather than relying on old launch figures or cached discounts.

What to check before buying
For earbuds
- Fit and isolation: Sealed in-ear models can provide a physical seal and passive isolation; Clip Pro’s open format is aimed at a different fit preference.
- Noise cancellation: ANC performance depends on product design and fit. A decibel rating is an advertised specification, not a direct promise of the experience in every environment.
- Battery: Distinguish playback per charge from the total claimed with a charging case. ANC, listening level, calls and codec settings can affect runtime.
- Software: Check Nothing X app compatibility, equalizer and firmware options, and whether the features you want work with your phone. Do not assume Android and iPhone feature sets are identical.
For a smartwatch
- Operating system and services: Confirm support for apps, payments and services you rely on; a CMF watch should not be presumed to run Wear OS.
- Phone compatibility: Verify Android or iPhone support and any platform-specific feature limits before purchase.
- GPS and training: Multi-system or dual-band GPS specifications are not a substitute for independent route-accuracy testing if you depend on precise running or cycling records.
- Health tracking: Treat heart-rate, blood-oxygen, sleep and stress measurements as wellness features, not medical diagnoses.
- Battery expectations: An ‘up to’ figure depends on settings; regular GPS use, calls and display behavior can substantially change endurance.
- Use case: CMF may appeal if price, design and basic tracking matter most. Buyers who require cellular service, a broad app ecosystem, payments or deeper phone integration should compare watches built around those needs.
