India-headquartered consumer technology brand CMF has launched the release of its latest smartwatch, the CMF Watch 3 Pro, in the Indian market, as it had promised.
Positioned for everyday users and fitness tracking, the new device integrates precision health metrics, AI-powered features, and several hardware upgrades over its predecessor, the Watch Pro 2.
Fitness and Health Monitoring
The CMF Watch 3 Pro introduces several updates to its tracking and navigation systems designed to accommodate varying fitness levels. Key tracking features include:
- Dual-Band Five-System GPS: An upgraded setup intended to provide stronger signal stability and enhanced location accuracy across different environments.
- Comprehensive Sports Tracking: The device supports 131 distinct sports modes and features automatic detection for seven core activities.
- Upgraded Sensors: A new four-channel heart rate sensor is included, designed to improve reading accuracy across various skin tones and workout intensities. Motion tracking is also updated with a 6-axis accelerometer.
- Performance Metrics: The watch utilizes “Active Score” to provide a weekly summary of physical exertion based on Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) data. Additionally, AI-powered post-workout summaries deliver data on training load, estimated recovery times, and endurance predictions for 5K and 10K runs.
- Everyday Wellness Tools: Standard health features include blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, stress tracking, guided breathing exercises, hydration/inactivity alerts, and women’s health tracking.
Smart Features and Connectivity
The Watch 3 Pro integrates with Nothing OS to offer enhanced on-wrist smart capabilities:

Design, Display, and Battery
The device features a precision-milled metal body paired with soft-touch silicone straps and carries an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
