Nothing eyes $300 smartwatch

Under $300. That is the number that could reshape the low-end smartwatch market if Nothing follows through with a new product in September.

The essentials
  • The new watch is expected to price under $300 and target 'limited markets.'
  • The watch could run Wear OS, a step up from current models running a lightweight RTOS.
  • The CMF line has sold sub-$100 watches, but Nothing’s own brand is expected to offer a more refined design.

Nothing, the design-forward phone maker, is rumored to be launching a smartwatch under $300. That would mark a departure from its CMF sub-brand, which has focused on low-cost, basic smartwatches priced well below $100.

A bigger step for Nothing

The new smartwatch, set for release in September, would be the first product directly under the Nothing brand. Unlike the CMF line, which relies on a lightweight real-time operating system, this new model could offer a more powerful platform.

Google’s Wear OS is a likely candidate. At a price of $250 to $300, the watch would undercut the Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch, while still offering a better user experience than the current CMF models.

The market opportunity

A $300 smartwatch would sit at the sweet spot between budget devices and high-end smartwatches. If Nothing delivers a refined design and Wear OS, it could capture users looking for a cheaper alternative to flagship models.

Nothing hasn’t yet confirmed the details, but leaks hint at a product that could expand the company’s reach beyond phones and into wearables with a strong, design-led identity.

Between the lines

The shift to Wear OS suggests Nothing is aiming for a more robust user experience — and that could help the company break into a broader market.
