The watch is packed with some unique features such as Running Wear OS 5 and a secondary operating system, its 120-hour battery life, rugged titanium bezel, and others beating some of the best Andriod smartwatches available in the market today.
Extended Battery Life
In an exclusive interview, OnePlus Europe’s CMO, Celina Si highlighted the OnePlus Watch 3 improved battery life and efficiency. The smartwatch features a dual chipset system that optimizes performance while maximizing energy use. A key upgrade is its 631mAh battery, enhanced with Silicon NanoStack technology. The same innovation is found in the OnePlus 13 smartphone thus boosting energy density for extended usage.
She also emphasized the importance of sleep tracking, stating that the OnePlus Watch 3 delivers greater accuracy in monitoring sleep patterns and quality. With an increased focus on wellness, the device aims to provide users with detailed insights into their sleep habits,
This ultimately helps them to enhance their daily energy levels and overall health. The longer battery life ensures that users can track their sleep without frequent recharging, making the Watch 3 a more reliable companion for continuous health monitoring.
The New Digital Crown
The watch brings key hardware upgrades, including a rotating digital crown, a titanium bezel that replaced the stainless steel of its predecessor, and a sapphire crystal face. The rotating crown enhances navigation and user experience, making interactions more intuitive for Wear OS users.
OnePlus Europe’s CMO, Celina Shi acknowledged that while the OnePlus Watch 2 design received positive feedback, the community requested a functional rotating crown. In response, the company integrated a press-and-rotate mechanism.
This allows for efficient menu and app navigation. This improvement reflects OnePlus’s focus on user-driven innovation and ensures a smoother and more engaging smartwatch experience.
Fitness Features
While details on the health and fitness features of the watch remain limited, the smartwatch aligns with the industry trend towards larger and more rugged design as seen in its competitors like Apple Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Garmin devices.
The OnePlus Watch 3 keeps the same bulky design as its predecessor, but its sapphire crystal face and titanium bezel increase durability. These components support its outdoor-ready look, as do its debut hues, Emerald Titanium (green) and Obsidian Titanium (black).
The goal was to produce a highly accurate fitness and sleep-tracking device that lasts well beyond user expectations while preserving an elegant look, according to Celina Shi, CMO of OnePlus Europe, who highlighted the watch’s lifetime and durability. Although OnePlus is certain that the Watch 3 can manage any activity in any condition, specific durability characteristics will be described before launch.
The OnePlus Watch 3 will launch in North America and the EU, while the price is yet unknown. It seeks to be a dependable partner for fitness fanatics and those looking for a fashionable, long-lasting smartwatch with its high-end construction and long battery life.
