Reports indicate that Nothing Ltd. is preparing to launch its first smartwatch under the primary Nothing brand in September 2026. The device is expected to retail for less than $300 USD and will feature the company’s signature transparent design, described as the “typical Nothing DNA.”

While the watch will initially be available in limited markets, analysts suggest it may utilize Google’s Wear OS or a proprietary real-time operating system. This move follows the company’s previous strategy of releasing budget-friendly wearables exclusively through its CMF sub-brand.
