Upcoming CMF smartwatch and earbuds Now a new leak has surfaced online revealing the design and some other details about the upcoming CMF smartwatch and earbuds. A Telegram account by the name of Alchimist recently shared banners showcasing upcoming products from Nothing’s CMF brand. These online banners reveal three forthcoming CMF by Nothing products: the “Watch Pro” smartwatch, a 65W GaN 3-port USB-C charger, and a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds known as the “Buds Pro.” The Watch Pro represents Nothing’s inaugural venture into the smartwatch arena. According to the leaked information, this wearable will feature a square display with rounded corners and will sport an orange-colored strap. The absence of visible lugs in the images suggests that the company may employ a proprietary connector or that the device may not support interchangeable straps. Further details from the leak indicate that the CMF Watch Pro could boast a 1.96-inch AMOLED display offering up to 600 nits of peak brightness and a 50Hz refresh rate. It is expected to provide users with access to 100 watch faces and support more than 100 workout modes. The smartwatch may also incorporate a heart rate sensor and an SpO2 monitor, in addition to tracking sleep patterns and stress levels. With a single charge, the device is rumored to deliver up to 13 days of battery life. The leaked information also suggests a price point of Rs 4,500 for the Nothing CMF Watch Pro in the Indian market. On another note, the Buds Pro earbuds are anticipated to feature active noise cancellation technology. These true wireless earbuds are expected to offer up to 11 hours of music playback and come equipped with 10mm dynamic audio drivers and three HD microphones.
