Nothing targets $300 smartwatch launch in September 2026
Nothing Ltd. is preparing to release its first smartwatch under the main Nothing brand. Leaked information from source Yogesh Brar indicates a launch scheduled for September 2026, with a retail price of less than $300 USD. The device will initially be sold in a limited set of markets and is expected to showcase the company’s signature transparent aesthetic, described as the “typical Nothing DNA.”
The leak also notes that co‑founder Akis Evangelidis posted a cryptic comment on social media, adding weight to the rumor. Analysts speculate the watch could run Google’s Wear OS or a proprietary real‑time operating system, positioning it against established premium wearables such as the Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch and Google Pixel Watch. The announcement follows Nothing’s earlier strategy of offering budget smartwatches through its CMF sub‑brand, which has sold devices only under that label until now.
