CMF by Nothing Watch 3 Pro Just Might be the Perfect Smartwatch for Under $100, Here’s Why

By Jackson Chung May 16, 2026

Short battery life frustrates many smartwatch owners more than anything else. Prices for decent models climb higher every year. CMF by Nothing Watch 3 Pro, priced at $69 (was $99), changes that equation completely. A 47-millimeter case sits comfortably on most wrists at just 51 grams. Liquid silicone straps attach easily with standard 22-millimeter pins so swapping colors takes seconds. Brushed details around the rotating crown add a subtle finish that feels more expensive than the asking price suggests.

Prototypes of the Jaguar Type 01 rolled quietly through the winding streets of Monaco this weekend, parked in plain view just hours before the Formula E race weekend kicked off. The four-door electric grand tourer wore a bold camouflage wrap in red, white, and beige, with its new name printed large across the roof so no one could miss it. Crowds gathered along the harbor and narrow roads caught sight of the long hood, slim headlights, and clean lines that mark the start of something fresh for the British brand.

By Bill Smith May 16, 2026

Years of sticky residue had turned a sleek Red Rabbit cotton candy vending machine into something far less reliable than its price tag suggested. Block from Block’s Retro Repairs took on the challenge after the unit stopped producing those fluffy strands customers expect. The first step was to thoroughly clean the spinning head where the magic happens, removing the crusty sugar buildup.

By Jackson Chung May 15, 2026

Hot afternoons demand something cold and sweet right when the craving strikes, yet store pints cost plenty and rarely match what fresh ingredients deliver at home. Traditional machines take time to churn and leave bowls to clean afterward, so many people stick with whatever sits in the freezer section. The CuisinArt FastFreeze Ice Cream Maker (ICE-FD10), priced at $97.56 (was $120), changes that routine entirely by handling the heavy work in under a minute once the base sits ready.

By Bill Smith May 15, 2026

Kayden Knapik set out to copy one of Disney’s BD-X droids from the Star Wars areas in their parks. He had no big budget and only basic robotics experience when he started his bachelor’s thesis project. The finished machine walks on two legs, turns on command, keeps its balance even when nudged, and moves its antennas to show feelings. All of it runs on parts bought online and printed at home.

By Jackson Chung May 15, 2026

Sharp detail from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope brings every feature of NGC 1266 into clear view. Dust lanes in shades of reddish brown stretch across the galaxy’s flattened disk and weave around a bright central bulge. Hints of spiral structure linger in the disk even though no obvious arms stand out. Tiny clumps and filaments of dust partly hide the core while distant background galaxies shine through the outer haze in red, blue, and orange tones against the black of space.
