Our verdict
Nothing suits you if you want one smartwatch from a company based in the United Kingdom, backed by a 2 year warranty. The £99 entry price costs more than Oukitel's $34.99, but the 13 day battery puts it mid-table, and the range stays narrow rather than wide in this group.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The 2 year warranty sits above the 1 for the smartwatches in this group.
- Health tracking covers heart rate, spo2 and sleep on the watch itself.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so help is written and email based.
- You know what the £99 entry price covers: a smartwatch with 13 days of battery and 2 years of cover.
- The £99 price is listed in GBP by a company based in the United Kingdom, which suits buyers in the UK.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line among them, while 67.5% of the brands we cover take calls.
- Smartwatches are the only listed product type, so nothing here covers rings, straps or scales: compare Amazfit's smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring.
- The 13 day battery ranks 12 of 23 brands, below the 21 mark that marks the upper end of this group.
- The £99 entry price is higher than Oukitel's $34.99 and ranks 19 of 31 brands on price.
Who it suits
- You want a single smartwatch rather than a spread of wearables from one brand.
- You are buying in the UK and want a company based in the United Kingdom with a 2 year warranty.
- You are comfortable with support that runs on email, help centre and community instead of a phone line.
Who should look elsewhere
- Oukitel, if the entry price decides it: Oukitel starts at $34.99 against £99 here.
- Amazfit, if you want one brand covering more than a watch: Amazfit spans smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring.
- Runmefit, if a plain fitness tracker is on your list: Runmefit covers smartwatch and fitness tracker.
How it compares on our data
Two numbers carry most of the weight in this group, and Nothing sits between the leaders on both. On battery life it places 12 out of 23 brands, and on entry price it places 19 out of 31 brands. In plain terms, you are not buying the cheapest watch here, and you are not buying the one that runs longest between charges. That middle position matters because the brands above it on price tend to be the budget models, while the ones above it on battery are the endurance specialists. If one of those two numbers matters more to you than the other, the ranking shows which direction to move.
Core features
The two numbers that shape daily use are battery life and cover. Battery life is listed at 13 days, and the warranty runs 2 years. A 13 day battery suits people who would rather not pack a charger for a short trip, and it asks more of you if you expect the watch to be ready without planning around a charge. The 2 year warranty is the quieter advantage: an early fault becomes a shorter conversation, and the cover stretches past a single year. Judge both against how you actually wear a watch day to day, because together they set the pattern of the first year more firmly than any other choice.
The company behind it
The company behind the range is Nothing Technology Limited, based in the United Kingdom. That tells you who sits on the other end of a warranty claim, a delivery problem or a return, which matters more than a long brand story when something goes wrong. Check that the name on your order matches Nothing Technology Limited so a claim lands with the right party. Support runs on email, help centre and community. Read that as written answers and a help centre first, email second, and a community space for anything not yet documented. It suits readers who prefer to search and send rather than pick up the phone, and it works well if most of your questions arrive after a purchase rather than before it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Nothing smartwatch cost?+
Nothing lists an entry price of £99 for its smartwatch. That is the starting figure for the range rather than a subscription, and it sits above Oukitel's $34.99. On our ranking of entry prices, Nothing places 19 out of 31 brands, so expect mid-range pricing here rather than the cheapest ticket.
How does Nothing compare with Oukitel on price?+
Oukitel starts at $34.99 and Nothing at £99, so the gap shows up right at the entry point. Both stay in the smartwatch end of the market, which makes price the clearest way to separate them. Nothing pairs its £99 figure with a 2 year warranty, so the choice is not purely on cost.
How long does the battery last?+
Battery life is listed at 13 days. On our ranking of brands by battery days that places Nothing 12 out of 23, and the upper end of this group reaches 21. Expect an above average watch rather than the longest lasting one, and plan your charging around the 13 day figure.
What health data does the watch record?+
Sensors cover heart rate, spo2 and sleep, which handles the daily basics and overnight tracking. Across the brands we compare, heart rate appears on 90% of them and skin temperature on 53.3%, so heart rate, spo2 and sleep sits close to the common core rather than the widest set. Read the sensor list if you need readings beyond the basics.
What support can I use after buying?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. That means written answers and a help centre first, then email, with a community space for anything not yet documented. Across the brands we cover, 67.5% offer a phone line, and 19.2% in this group add live chat, so Nothing suits readers who would rather search and send.
Does Nothing sell anything besides a watch?+
The listed product type is smartwatch, so the range is deliberately narrow. Amazfit covers smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring, and Runmefit covers smartwatch and fitness tracker. If your plan is to add a band, a ring or a set of scales later, Nothing keeps you within one kind of device, and you would shop elsewhere for the rest.
How long is the warranty and who honours it?+
The warranty runs 2 years and it sits with Nothing Technology Limited, the company based in the United Kingdom. The 1 for smartwatches in this group is shorter, so the cover here is one of the stronger ones. Keep your order details with the company name in case you ever need to claim.
Where is Nothing based and what does that mean for a UK buyer?+
The company is Nothing Technology Limited, based in the United Kingdom, and the entry price of £99 is listed in GBP. Your warranty therefore runs with a GB company rather than an overseas seller, and the price you read is the UK price. If you are buying from outside the UK, check the listed price and the warranty terms in your own country before you order.
