Nothing’s affordability-focused subbrand, CMF, launched more than just a $199 smartphone today. It also debuted a new pair of $59 wireless earbuds and a $69 smartwatch that incorporate the unique flair that Nothing has become known for.

The Buds Pro 2 are CMF’s follow-up to the earbuds it released last year. Unlike CMF’s first iteration of the Buds Pro (which are $10 cheaper), the Buds Pro 2 have a charging case with a “smart” dial that you can twist to adjust the volume or manage playback, similar to the one on the CMF Neckband Pro. The dial is fully customizable, allowing you to press it to control noise cancellation, activate a voice assistant, or mute your microphone during a video call.

Aside from that nifty switch, the Buds Pro 2 feature hybrid active noise cancellation at up to 50dB, an 11mm bass driver, hi-res audio at up to 990kbps, and spatial audio support. The buds also offer seven hours of audio playback on a single charge and with ANC off (or up to 43 hours with the case).

Meanwhile, the budget-friendly Watch Pro 2 comes with a new interchangeable bezel you can easily swap out for different styles. In addition to a 1.32-inch AMOLED display, the Watch Pro 2 also features a claimed 11 days of battery life, built-in GPS, 120 sports modes, and more than 100 watchfaces (with 80 available at launch).
