OnePlus is preparing for a big launch on January 7, introducing the OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R smartphones, and a new color variant for the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro. Alongside these exciting announcements, reports reveal that OnePlus is also working on its next smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3.
According to a report from Smartprix, the OnePlus Watch 3 is set to launch globally in Q1 2025. This new smartwatch aims to be more feature-packed and functional, helping OnePlus compete in the growing wearables market.
What’s New in the OnePlus Watch 3?
Improved Design and Features
- The OnePlus Watch 3 keeps its sleek design but introduces a rotary dial for better navigation, much like Apple’s Digital Crown. This makes it easier to use the watch, even in situations where touchscreens are inconvenient, like with wet hands.
- The watch will also feature ECG (Electrocardiogram) monitoring, enhancing its health-tracking abilities and putting it in direct competition with premium smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch. However, the availability of ECG may depend on health certifications in different regions.
LTE Connectivity
The OnePlus Watch 3 could also support LTE, allowing users to make calls, receive notifications, and stream music without needing a connected smartphone. This feature is expected to launch in selected markets, with China likely being the first.
Powerful Specs and Battery Options
The smartwatch might come with:
- A Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, ensuring smooth performance.
- Conflicting battery reports suggest either a 500mAh or a 631mAh battery, as noted in an earlier FCC certification.
- Like its predecessor, the Watch 3 will run on a dual operating system setup, combining WearOS and RTOS for better efficiency.
Slightly Larger Build
The FCC listing indicates that the OnePlus Watch 3 (model number OPWWE251) will measure 46.6 x 47.6 x 11.75mm, making it slightly bigger than the previous model.
Launch Timeline and Availability
The OnePlus Watch 3 has already received FCC certification, hinting that its global launch may happen soon. With its upgraded design, health-focused features, and powerful performance, the Watch 3 is poised to become a strong contender in the smartwatch market.
