Amazon is selling the CMF by Nothing Watch 3 Pro for $69 in every color, below its usual range of $79 to $99. The discount puts a full-screen budget smartwatch below the current price of some simpler fitness trackers, including the screenless Google Fitbit Air, which is $20 more.

The Watch 3 Pro is a low-cost wearable from Nothing’s CMF line with a 1.43-inch OLED display. Nothing lists compatibility with both iOS and Android, giving it broader phone support than watches tied to a single mobile platform.

For fitness tracking, the watch includes dual-band GPS, IP68 protection and a heart-rate sensor, according to the product details. The model also supports 131 sports modes and common app integrations, including Strava and Apple Health.

Battery life is one of the main selling points. Nothing says the Watch 3 Pro can run for up to 13 days on a charge under normal use, while the always-on display will shorten that time. A Verge writer who bought the watch during an earlier sale said it typically lasted two or three days with the always-on display enabled.

The Watch 3 Pro is sold in four styles, with different color options, bezel shapes, detailing and matching straps. The Nothing X app also offers a range of watch faces, including designs built around complications and others focused more on appearance.

The large face is part of the design, and that may be a tradeoff for some buyers. The Verge writer described the watch as eye-catching and said the light green model drew compliments, but also said its size made it less comfortable for sleep tracking.

Amazon’s current deal applies to all listed colors, including light green and orange. The orange version has a more fitness-oriented look, while the other colorways lean more toward everyday wear, according to the product images and style options shown by Nothing.

Shoppers looking to spend less can also consider the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2, which Amazon lists at $39, down from its usual $55 price. That older model uses the same app and has swappable bezels for changing its look.

The Watch 3 Pro is the newer option. Compared with the Watch Pro 2, it brings upgraded GPS, a more accurate heart-rate monitor, longer battery life and a slightly larger screen, according to the product comparison details.
