Nothing's new CMF smartwatch drops swappable bezels for a bigger display
Nothing has launched a new smartwatch under its affordable CMF subbrand that improves upon the heart rate sensor, battery life, and GPS tracking capabilities of its predecessor, but gives up on some of its customizability. The Watch 3 Pro is available globally starting today for $99 (currently reduced to $79). The 1.43-inch OLED display provides a ten percent increase in screen-to-body ratio compared to the Watch Pro 2's 1.32-inch display. It comes in three color options — dark gray, light gray, and orange — but notably drops the Watch Pro 2's swappable bezel that allowed users to customize the appearance of their watch. The 3 Pro features 131 sports modes, a new four-channel heart rate sensor for better accuracy, and AI-powered coaching and post-workout summaries that offer personalized running plans and fitness insights. Nothing describes the Watch 3 Pro's new dual-band GPS as 'a major leap forward' from the Watch Pro 2, providing better signal stability and precision for 'faster and more accurate route tracking in any environment.' The new smartwatch fully charges in around 99 minutes and delivers up to 13 days of battery life 'under typical use,' according to Nothing, a two-day increase compared to the previous model. This is reduced to 11 days with heavier tracking, or around 4.5 days with the always-on display enabled. Users can manage the Watch 3 Pro features via Nothing's X app control center, which has been refreshed with a new UI and supports Strava, Apple Health, and Google Health Connect integrations. Nothing says the older CMF Watch Pro and Watch Pro 2 models will also be transitioning to the Nothing X app. One other gripe, aside from the lack of customizable bezels, is the inconsistent naming between the Watch Pro 2 and the new Watch 3 Pro. This is becoming something of a habit for Nothing's CMF brand, given the differing format also seen in its Buds Pro 2 and Buds 2 Plus earbuds.

America's Cheapest Grocery Store Has Been Hiding in Plain Sight
America's Cheapest Grocery Store Has Been Hiding in Plain Sight originally appeared on Parade. Doing your weekly grocery shopping can feel like a punch in the gut, especially as prices keep rising nationwide. I personally love grocery shopping to gawk at the new products and admire the gorgeous produce. But lately, it's become more like a chore since I have to spend an arm and a leg every time I go. New data is helping us discover the cheapest grocery stores to spend our hard-earned cash on. The most affordable grocery store in America is actually not what I'd expect. Move over, warehouse giants and scrappy discount chains—Target just snagged the top spot as America's most affordable grocery store in more states than any other chain, according to a study from NetCredit. Yep, Target, home of $5 candles and impulse buys you never knew you needed, is now your go-to destination for low grocery prices.🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 According to the report, Target offers the cheapest groceries in 15 states, including Florida, Hawaii, and a bunch of Midwest and Southern spots. That's more than Walmart, more than Aldi and more than any other big-name supermarket. Target's been quietly leveling up its grocery game recently. In May 2024, the store cut prices on over 5,000 everyday items from name brands like Huggies and Persil to pantry staples and snacks. Plus, Target's own private-label brands (like Good & Gather and Favorite Day) offer even deeper savings, especially if you're willing to swap out name-brand items for store-brand versions that are often just as good (or better). While Walmart still reigns in big cities like New York, San Francisco and LA, and regional players like Grocery Outlet and H-E-B dominate in states like Oregon, Washington and Texas, Target's reach and pricing power can't be ignored. It's affordable, it's clean and let's be honest—it's fun. I love a good Target run! With grocery prices rising almost everywhere, finding deals without sacrificing quality is more important than ever. So the next time you're planning your weekly grocery haul, don't overlook Target!America's Cheapest Grocery Store Has Been Hiding in Plain Sight first appeared on Parade on Jul 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

The budget-friendly holiday hotspot UK families are flocking to
Marmaris, Turkey, has been identified as the cheapest short-haul holiday destination for UK families, according to Post Office Travel Money. A basket of 10 common tourist items in Marmaris costs £128.99, which is nearly half the price of the most expensive destination surveyed, Ibiza. The low prices are primarily due to a significant fall in the value of the Turkish lira against the pound. Despite local price increases in Turkey, the favourable exchange rate means British visitors will only pay approximately 10 per cent more than a year ago. Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, and Portugal 's Algarve were ranked as the second and third most affordable destinations for UK holidaymakers. The cheapest short-haul holiday destination for UK families has been revealed – and its not in Spain

The overlooked city crowned cheapest for a summer holiday revealed - with £2 pints and cheap flights from the UK
For travellers craving a summer escape that won't burn a hole through their pockets, one overlooked city has emerged as Europe's top budget-friendly destination. According to a new study, Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, outshines 69 other European cities for affordability, in line with combining low costs with an abundance of cultural and historical attractions. The research, which compared the average cost of hotels, meals, drinks, transport, and the number of free attractions, found that a weekend stay costs just £136 - significantly cheaper that major tourist cities such as Paris and Rome. In Tbilisi, a pint of local beer is just £1.64, while a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant costs less than £33. Budget diners can even two lunchtime meals for around £16.50 without compromising on quality and flavour. In Tbilisi, visitors can find a range of hotels to suit different budgets, with options from hostels to more upscale hotels. Budget-friendly accommodations, including hostels and budget hotels, can be booked for as low as £7-£30 per night on KAYAK and Skyscanner, while mid-range hotels can range from £50 to £200 per night, according to the research carried out by luggage storage company Bounce. The capital's food, drink and accommodation are not only reasonably priced, but it also boasts a range of free culture-rich experiences. Tourists can explore the Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi (pictured) - one of the largest religious buildings in the world - free of charge Tourists can explore the Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi - one of the largest religious buildings in the world - free of charge. Its iconic gold dome and landscaped gardens make it a favourite for architecture fans, photographers or those who want an impressive selfie for their Instagram. Another free must-see is the Bridge of Peace, a futuristic pedestrian bridge over the Mtkvari River, which glistens at night with thousands of sparkling LED lights. Georgia's diverse and distinctive cuisine is also a highlight, especially for fans of hearty dishes that incorporate a range of fresh herbs and spices. Visitors are urged to try Khachapuri, a cheesy, doughy dish often described as 'Georgian pizza,' as reported by the Mirror. Khinkali, Georgia's iconic dumplings, are also a must-try, characterised by their distinctive shape and a twisted dough 'crown' at the top. The meat-filled dumplings are known for their juicy broth inside, which you slurp out before eating the rest of the dumpling. Transportation in Tbilisi is surprisingly inexpensive, with a 1km taxi ride costing about the same as a pint, while fares for public transport are even cheaper - averaging just 27p.

The study by Casinova revealed the top ten party destinations in Europe ahead of this summer and found that the Czech capital won hands down. Already established as a popular stag party destination thanks to low-cost flights from destinations across Europe - with flights from around £25 - the city has worked hard to make its nightlife a more sophisticated affair in recent years.
