Nothing's CMF Watch 3 Pro debuts with ChatGPT and larger display, but leaves mixed signals

Mint2 days ago
The latest smartwatch from Nothing's CMF Watch 3 Pro launched globally on Tuesday under its affordable CMF sub brand. It improves the heart rate sensor, battery life of up to 13 days, ChatGPT integration and GPS tracking capabilities of its predecessor but it gives up on some of its customisability. Priced at $99 (approximately ₹ 4,999) and currently available for $79 (around ₹ 3,999), the CMF Watch 3 Pro is aimed at budget smartwatch users looking beyond basic step counts and call alerts.
It looks ambitious at first glance, but in practice, the watch feels caught between trying to be smart and playing it safe.
The CMF Watch Pro 3 keeps a familiar look, much like the Watch Pro 2, but brings a few small changes. The 1.43 inch AMOLED display is slightly larger than the previous 1.32 inch, giving about a 10% bump in screen to body ratio. It also supports an always on display, comes with a metal case, and has silicone straps. That extra bit of screen space does help, especially when glancing at data or navigating through tiles.
The standout feature of the CMF Watch 3 Pro is its ChatGPT integration, which lets users speak to the watch for quick responses like weather updates, setting timers, or general queries. Since there's no speaker, replies show up as text on the screen. This makes the interaction feel more like a visual shortcut than real voice assistance. Still, it remains a rare feature at this price.
The dual band GPS makes a real difference, especially in crowded or signal prone areas. Nothing says this is a big step up from the Watch Pro 2, helping it hold a stronger signal and follow routes more clearly even in places where regular GPS might struggle.
The smartwatch takes about 99 minutes to completely charge. Nothing says it can last up to 13 days with regular use, which is about two days more than the last model. With heavier health tracking, battery life drops to around 11 days. If you keep the always on display turned on, expect around 4.5 days of use.
Health tracking on the CMF Watch 3 Pro covers the basics well, offering heart rate, sleep, stress, and menstrual cycle tracking, along with 130 workout modes. Smartwatch users can now manage these features using the updated Nothing X app, which brings a cleaner interface and support for syncing with Strava, Apple Health, and Google Health Connect. Nothing also confirmed that previous models like Watch Pro and Watch Pro 2 will gradually move to the same app environment.
The battery life of this smartwatch is said to last up to 13 days with basic usage and about 6 to 7 days with regular health tracking. A full charge takes about 90 minutes using the magnetic cable.
The CMF Watch 3 Pro gets some key things right. The sharper display, better GPS, and ChatGPT support do lift the experience in small but clear ways. ChatGPT is fun to show off, but you'll likely stop using it after the first few days.
Still, the software keeps it in check. You can't reply to messages, store music, or use third-party apps. It looks smart and does the basics well, but for those expecting full smartwatch depth, it's not quite there yet.

Teacher, Teacher, Look Who's Smarter—It's Your AI Starter

Personalization at Scale Smart Tutoring and Virtual Assistants Real-Time Feedback Loops Automation for Educators Live Events Inclusive and Accessible Learning Looking Ahead The contemporary classroom is experiencing a quiet revolution. The era of lecturing, one-size-fits-all, and chalk-and-board is over. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leading a revolution in the delivery, consumption, and optimization of learning—redefining not only what students learn, but also how they the centre of AI influence is one-to-one learning. AI systems can analyse huge sets of data on student performance, behaviour, and learning modes, allowing platforms to present content that is customized. No two students learn alike or at the same rate, and AI gets that. Whether it's suggesting a different kind of video for a visual learner or providing extra practice problems for a struggling student, the technology is adapting the learning experience in real intelligent tutors such as Khanmigo, Squirrel AI, and Google's Gemini for Education are already functioning as on-demand instructors. These platforms offer 24/7 support, respond to students' questions, and provide step-by-step elaborations on difficult subjects. They're bridging the gap for low-income students who cannot access private instruction and allowing teachers to do more mentoring and less rote not only educates but also listens and learns. Through natural language processing (NLP), Grammarly and ChatGPT can analyse student writing in an instant, make recommendations, and give reasons. In math and science, there are applications like Photo Math where AI vision scans handwritten mathematics and guides the student through the process of solving it. The instant feedback helps improve speed and increases confidence among typically bogged down with administrative work, are recovering precious hours through AI. From auto-marking homework to condensing student performance reports, AI is optimizing classroom administration. It's even assisting in curricula development, analysing which modules work best and recommending adjustments for the next is also democratizing learning. For the disabled or the language-challenged, technologies such as real-time translation, speech-to-text, and adaptive interfaces are opening education to everyone. AI can change text sizes, read speeds, and even translate into local languages, so no learner gets left AI-powered classroom is no longer a sci-fi fantasy; it's the here and now. As the tech continues to evolve, we can look forward to an even more engaging learning experience with AI-powered simulations, VR/AR adoption, and predictive analytics to detect struggling students as AI allows for efficiency and scale, the human touch cannot be replaced. The future of learning is in a hybrid approach—where AI works behind the scenes on data and personalization, and teachers bring empathy, mentorship, and hasn't simply modernized classrooms; it's revolutionizing the very notion of education. And that's not all.

Kerala HC issues policy for use of AI for judiciary work: What does it say? Why is it significant?

The Kerala High Court last week issued a policy document titled 'Policy Regarding the Use of AI Tools in District Judiciary' for 'responsible use' of artificial intelligence (AI) in judicial work. The policy aims to reduce dependence on AI in the judiciary by limiting its use to administrative tasks. This is the first time that a High Court in India has tried to frame principles and guidelines for using AI in the judiciary. What does the policy cover? The document focuses on four key principles: transparency, fairness, accountability, and the protection of confidential data. The guidelines apply to all members of the district judiciary, including judges, clerks, interns, court staff, and other employees who are involved in judicial work. They apply regardless of whether AI tools — softwares that use AI algorithms to perform different tasks such as problem-solving — are used on personal or government devices. The document provides a separate definition for Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, saying they produce human-like responses to prompts that have been entered by the user. The policy also differentiates between 'general' AI tools and 'approved' AI tools. Only an AI tool approved by the Kerala High Court or the Supreme Court can be used for court-related work. The guidelines set clear limits on the usage of AI tools. Writing, drafting legal judgements, orders, or findings is strictly prohibited. Translating documents by using AI tools without the verification of a judge or a qualified translator is also not allowed. Using AI for research work like looking up citations or judgements should be verified by an appointed person. The document encourages the use of AI tools for administrative tasks like 'scheduling of cases or court management'. However, it must be done within the observation of a person, and should be duly recorded. Errors in the tools, if any, must be reported to the Principal District Court or the Principal District Judge and forwarded to the IT department of the High Court. Judicial officers and staff are required to attend training sessions that cover the ethos and technical issues involving the use of court-related work. The document specifies that violation of any rule will automatically lead to disciplinary action. Why is the policy relevant? In February 2025, the Centre, in a press note, encouraged the use of AI in judicial work to help alleviate the backlog of cases and improve the speed of justice administration. Since then, several discussions have taken place regarding the risks and safeguards that such a move would require. On July 17, the Karnataka High Court, while hearing a petition on X Corp's challenge to the Centre's orders to block content under Section 79 of the IT Act, through Sahyog portal, discussed the usage of AI algorithms in moderating content on online platforms. Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta noted that 'there are instances where the lawyers start using AI for the purpose of research and artificial intelligence, as an inbuilt difficulty, it hallucinates.' AI hallucination is a blanket term for various types of mistakes made by chatbots in response to the facts inserted as a prompt. Justice M Nagaprasanna said, 'Too much dependence will destroy the profession…I keep saying dependency on Artificial Intelligence should not make your intelligence artificial.' In 2023, the Punjab and Haryana High Court took the assistance of ChatGPT to understand the global view on bail for an accused with a history of violence, including an attempt to murder. Justice Anoop Chitkara denied bail, seeking AI insights on global bail jurisprudence. He inserted the question in ChatGPT, 'What is the jurisprudence on bail when the assailants are assaulted with cruelty?' However, the court said, 'Any reference to ChatGPT and any observation made hereinabove is neither an expression of opinion on the merits of the case nor shall the trial Court advert to these comments. This reference is only intended to present a broader picture on bail jurisprudence, where cruelty is a factor.'
