Recently, OnePlus confirmed that it will be announcing the OnePlus 9 series of smartphones on March 23. The event will see the arrival of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro smartphones powered Hasselblad cameras. It has now confirmed that it will be also unleashing the much-anticipated OnePlus Watch smartwatch on March 23.

Earlier this year, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Band as is its first wearable device. The company had teased a smartwatch back in 2015. However, it decided to ditch it in a bd to focus more on its smartphone lineup. In October 2020, the company released the first teaser of its smartwatch, which suggested that it will go official in the coming months. In December, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that it will be announced in early 2021. Shown below is the latest tweet, which confirms that the OnePlus Watch will be debuting on March 23.

Reports have suggested that there could be two models of the OnePlus Watch. The one with the W310GB model number may feature a square-shaped dial and it is likely to be called the OnePlus Watch.

The other variant with the W501GB model number could be sporting a circular screen and it may break cover as the OnePlus Watch RX. Both models are expected to land in India since they have received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The OnePlus Watch series is speculated to run on Wear OS.

It is still unclear whether the company will be announcing the rumored OnePlus 9R/E smartphone alongside the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro smartphones. The Chinese manufacturer is also yet to confirm the arrival of the OnePlus Nord SE, which is nothing but a specially designed version of the original OnePlus Nord phone.

OnePlus is expected to debut into the world of Smartwatches with two products this year. Ahead of the launch, a lot of leaks about them have been appearing online. Now, another leak shows the possible design of the OnePlus Watch courtesy of Techniknews.

OnePlus has patented a Smartwatch design on German Patent and Trademark Office(GPTO). Although OnePlus hasn’t confirmed the design yet, the description of patent shows that OnePlus Technologies themselves have filed it. This suggests that the design with a round dial could be final as leaked before.

Talking about the design itself, one of the sketches shows a round dial with flouted bracelet(straps). On the right side, there are two buttons probably for UI navigation. On the back, there are sensors that could be for Heart rate, Blood Oxygen, Blood Pressure etc.

Beneath them, two contact points likely for magnetic charging are also visible. The report says that this could be the ‘Sport Version’ of the ‘OnePlus Watch’.

The second design, however, is already known to us via various leaks. This one has a frame that extends slightly outer and also has a differenet strap design. That is, we can spot a new Clip on one end of the strap whose functionality is a bit unclear at this point.

Apart from this, other areas like button placements, sensors look similar as mentioned above.

The OnePlus watch(model: W501GB) is rumored to launch sometime in March and both have received certifications already. The company will seemingly launch a watch with ‘OnePlus Watch RX’ moniker having a round-shaped dial(like OPPO Watch RX) and also a Watch with a square-shaped dial (model: W301GB).

There’s also a Cyberpunk Limited Edition in the making. For software, it is likely to host an in-house UI and not the Google’s Wear OS courtesy of leaks.

OnePlus Watch: Everything you need to know before the launch

OnePlus has been teasing to launch a smartwatch for a very long time. Finally, it seems like the time has come for it as the brand’s fist smartwatches have begun to get certifications. Yes, you heard it right, OnePlus could be releasing not one, but two watches. Let us take a look at everything that has leaked about these wearables so far in this article.

OnePlus Watch Design

According to the OnePlus Health app, the Chinese smartphone maker may release two smartwatches. One of them will have a circular dial and will bear the model number W501GB. Whereas, the second watch with model number W301GB will sport a square-shaped dial.

Both these wearables have been certified by India’s BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). Hence, we could expect them to release in the country just like the OnePlus Band, which was launched in early January as OnePlus’ first wearable product.

The OnePlus Watch could be similar to the already available OPPO Watch

That said, these watches could debut as ‘OnePlus Watch RX’ and ‘OnePlus Watch’ respectively. Also, they are expected to be either rebranded or tweaked versions of OPPO Watch RX and OPPO Watch respectively. Out of these two, the former is yet to go on sale.

OnePlus Watch Software

OnePlus was expected to ship its smartwatch with Google Wear OS. But unfortunately, it may not be the case, as per a reliable leaker. Even the OnePlus Health app confirms the same.

Hence, we can expect these wearables to run in-house software. Therefore, it may not have support for third-party applications.

In a nutshell, if this happens to be true, then the OnePlus Watch and OnePlus Watch RX will not be anything but fitness trackers disguised as smartwatches.

OnePlus Watch Limited Edition

At least, one of the two OnePlus smartwatches was initially planned to release alongside the OnePlus 8T. It could have been the one with the square dial (W301GB) since it was certified by Singapore’s IMDA in late August 2020 itself.

As this watch was supposed to launch in the second half of last year, the company even had plans to launch a Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition along with the OnePlus 8T model with the same theme.

We are aware of this variant as its straps were leaked in early November. Anyway, it is not sure if this special edition will be ever released now. But maybe, there could be a different limited edition instead.

OnePlus Watch Launch Date

OnePlus is yet to officially announce the launch date of the OnePlus Watch. But the company’s CEO Pete Lau has revealed that it will be released in early 2021.

OnePlus Watch Pricing and Availability

OnePlus was born as a flagship killer brand. Since its inception, the company’s products have been cheaper than the mainstream high-end products. Therefore, we believe the firm’s smartwatches could be affordable just like its smartphones and other products.

As far as availability is concerned, the OnePlus Watch and OnePlus Watch RX should hit the shelves in almost all the markets where the company has its presence.

Two OnePlus smartwatches receive BIS certification

OnePlus has been selling budget flagship smartphones for years now. Last year, the company finally released its proper flagship smartphone in the form of the OnePlus 8 Pro. That’s not all, it also entered the mid-range and budget smartphone segments along with TWS. The brand has even confirmed to launch its first smartwatch in early 2021. Ahead of its release, two OnePlus-branded watches have been certified by India’s BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).

Rumors of OnePlus releasing a smartwatch have been in the news for a long time. Mostly because the brand itself has teased it on multiple occasions. This wearable was first spotted on Singapore’s IMDA certification bureau in late August with model number W301GB.

The following month, this wearable was tipped to come with a circular dial. Then, in October, OnePlus confirmed the existence of a smartwatch. In the same month, the watch was reported to be postponed. Then, in November, we get to see the straps of the OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition and at around the same time, the product was reported to skip Google Wear OS.

In December, Pete Lau, the CEO and co-founder of OnePlus revealed that the watch will go official in early 2021. A few days later, ahead of the OnePlus Band launch earlier this month, more information about the OnePlus smartwatch leaked, thanks to the OnePlus Health app.

As per OnePlus’s companion app, the company may release two smartwatches – one with a square dial and another with a circular. Unsurprisingly, both of them seem to be a rebranded or tweaked versions of OPPO Watch and OPPO Watch RX.

Straps of OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition

The square variant called ‘OnePlus Watch’ is expected to come with model number W301GB. The same wearable was certified by IMDA last year and it has now received BIS certification along with another watch with model number W501GB. This second watch could be the ‘OnePlus Watch RX’ that was found in the OnePlus Health app with a circular dial.

So as of now, we can say that the OnePlus Watch could launch in both Singapore and India. But the OnePlus Watch RX may only debut in the latter country, just like the OnePlus Band. Anyway, we do expect the company to release its smartwatches in more regions.

Massive leak reveals details of the OnePlus Watch, OnePlus Band, and a OnePlus Watch RX

OnePlus will announce its first smartwatch this year, and if all goes well, it should arrive this quarter. The manufacturer is also expected to launch a fitness tracker that should hit markets as the OnePlus Band. Now, a leak has revealed more details including colors and watch faces of the OnePlus Watch and the fitness tracker.

The source of the leak is Nils Ahrensmeier (@NilsAhrDE) and he says he got the details from the OnePlus Health APK. To make it easier to understand we will group the info under the respective devices, starting with the OnePlus Watch.

OnePlus Watch and OnePlus Watch RX

The OnePlus Watch has the model number “W301GB” for the global version and “W301CN” for the Chinese version and it will be available in “obsidian black”. However, there is a chance that we will be getting more than one smartwatch as an image shared by the leaker shows that there is a second smartwatch called the OnePlus Watch RX. If the name sounds familiar, then that is because there is a watch called the OPPO Watch RX which is OPPO’s round-faced watch that was announced after the square-faced OPPO Watch. Surprisingly, the OPPO Watch RX is yet to go on sale since it was first announced in October.

OnePlus Watch pretty much confirmed (like @MaxJmb) already told us, but it looks like a rebranded OEM thing. Also Watch RX? pic.twitter.com/vcJ8EGGetY

Previous leaks have revealed that the OnePlus Watch has a round dial but now that there is a OnePlus Watch RX, there is a possibility that OnePlus may be planning to launch one watch with a square dial and another with a round dial. Our guess is that OnePlus will likely be rebadging the OPPO Watch and OPPO Watch RX.

The same image that mentions the OnePlus Watch RX also shows us a list of the sports modes and activities the two OnePlus Watches will be able to track. There are strings for swimming, badminton, “ball”, dance, elliptical machine, free training, and rowing machine. There are also strings for “exclusive”, “leisure”, “snow”, “water”, and “yoga”. We believe the watches will have support for more than the aforementioned sports and activities.

The leak also includes a ton of watch faces for the OnePlus Watch with a high percentage of them having a dark theme.

OnePlus Band

Nils has also found details of the OnePlus Band in the APK. First, there is a 3D render of the fitness tracker and it shows that it will come in black and have a matching strap with a ridged design.

Animated gifs shared by the leaker show that the OnePlus Band will have SpO2 measurement and will track steps and calories burnt. The gifs also show that the OnePlus Band will be operated with touch gestures.

The OnePlus Band is expected to launch next week, in India first, for under $40. We also expect it to get announced in other markets.

Unfortunately, the leak doesn’t include details such as the operating system powering the OnePlus Watch/Watch RX and if it will have a cellular modem. We also have no idea what the price tags of the watches will be.
