To recall, OnePlus recently unveiled the Watch 2 during the MWC 2024 event (Mobile World Congress). Quickly after the announcement, the smartphone went on sale. In just the first day, the OnePlus Watch 2 achieved record breaking sales. The Chinese brand took to X (formerly Twitter) to share this milestone from its official European handle. The tweet states that the OnePlus Watch 2 “smashed records” of the OnePlus Watch 1’s 1 first month sales in just one day.

This clearly showcases the popularity and success of the new wearable device that is only listed for pre-orders right now and sales kick off on March 4. For those unaware, the OnePlus Watch 2 sports a 1.43-inch AMOLED display that offers 600 nits of peak brightness. Under the hood, it is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 SoC that is paired with BES 2700 MCU Efficiency chipset.

The processors are paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Furthermore, the smartwatch runs on Google’s Wear OS 4. It is powered by a 500mAh battery pack that promises to offer 100 hours long battery life in smart mode and 48 hours in heavy use.

It could come with music controls, call alerts feature, and notification alerts. The smartwatch is also expected to bring sports modes like other smartwatches in the market.

Furthermore, it is expected to launch at least one new product in India every month this year.

Among some of its upcoming launches, the company will even expand its wearable lineup as well. In 2022, it is expected to release a new smart band and a new smartwatch. While it is currently unknown how many new Nord smartphones will be launched this year, OnePlus is already rumored to release the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G as well, which will be positioned below the new Nord CE 2 5G. This model is expected to sport a 6.59 inch FHD+ display that supports 90Hz refresh rate. It will also run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 as well, as per previous reports.

Earlier this year, the OnePlus Watch was made official in the Indian market in two color options — Midnight Black and Midnight Silver. There was a Cobalt Edition as well, featuring a golden-colored dial with a green-colored strap.

Now, the Chinese company is gearing up to launch a new variant of its smartwatch in the Indian market, dubbed the OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Edition. It was originally teased at the launch of the smartwatch a few months ago but hasn’t been made official yet.

With the recent teaser of the OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Edition shared by the company, its launch is imminent. Now, ahead of that, details about the wearable device have leaked online, including its pricing.

A tip on Twitter from Yogesh Brar claims that the OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Edition has a box price of ₹19,999. Since this is the Maximum Retail Price (MRP), the actual selling price for the smartwatch is expected to be lower, likely around ₹16,999.

While the upcoming smartwatch variant may have customized casing and straps to match the theme, the internals is expected to be the same as the standard model. It comes with a 46mm round watch dial with two buttons on the sides.

The smartwatch features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 454 × 454 pixels. This display has a 2.5D curved glass, offers an HD resolution, and also has a 326PPI pixel density and support for more than 50 watch faces.

The OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition was initially teased during the launch event of the brand’s first smartwatch. This product later leaked multiple times in the following months. Back in August, it was even tipped to launch soon. Now, weeks later, OnePlus officially teases the arrival of this wearable.

The upcoming OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition will be the third special variant of OnePlus’s first smartwatch. For those unaware, the first two were Cobalt and Cyberpunk 2077. The former was made available in multiple regions, while the latter was exclusive to China.

Since the teaser for the Harry Potter version comes from OnePlus India, it could be limited to India. That said, the company is yet to officially reveal the release date for the wearable.

We think that the new OnePlus Watch should hit the stores ahead of the Diwali festive season, which kicks off in the first week of November.

As far as specs are concerned, we expect it to arrive with the same set of features as the regular OnePlus Watch. But it should have a customized casing color and a strap as suggested in the teaser poster.

Additionally, it has been previously exposed that this smartwatch will come with six custom watch faces based on Hogwarts, Hogwarts seal, and seals of the four Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw).

Last but not least, the OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition should cost more than the standard variant that currently retails at ₹14,999.

The upcoming OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition is expected to be identical to the regular OnePlus Watch in terms of features and specifications. It might only differ in terms of appearance and UI.

As per the APK teardown, the smartwatch will come with six exclusive watch faces themed after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Two of the watch faces will showcase Hogwarts and its seal. Whereas, the remaining four will flaunt the seals of the four houses of Hogwarts, namely Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

The watch comes with a yellow-accented bezel and strap. The latter even has the ‘Cyberpunk’ branding. Further, the wearable features Cyberpunk 2077-based UI, watch faces, and bootanimation.

We know the existence of the OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition since November 2020. In a different timeline, this version of the wearable would have debuted alongside the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition. Because the watch was supposed to launch alongside the OnePlus 8T in October.

This special edition was thought to be canceled but it is not the case. OnePlus has confirmed to launch the OnePlus Watch Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition in China on May 24. The wearable will be available for pre-order starting at 8 PM (local time) on the announcement day itself.

This version of the OnePlus Watch will have Yellow accents and a ‘Cyberpunk’ branding on its strap. It will be also coming with the game-inspired watch faces, theme, and bootanimation. Apart from these, we expect it to come with the exact same set of features as the regular model.

Unfortunately, we are not sure whether this special variant will be made available in global markets.  That’s because the OnePlus 8T Cyberpubk 2077 Limited Edition was exclusive to China, however, limited quantities (only 10) were sold in Malaysia via lucky draw.

OnePlus has announced a special edition of the OnePlus Watch. The OnePlus Watch Colbalt Limited Edition is made from more premium materials such as sapphire glass, a cobalt alloy frame, and leather straps. Of course, it costs more too.

The OnePlus Watch‘s new special edition was recently teased by the company. Now, the brand has officially announced the new Cobalt Limited Edition in China and has even announced the pricing as well.

For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant announced the smart watch back in March along with its flagship OnePlus 9 series of smartphones. Now, the wearable is available in two variants, namely the Classic Edition and the Cobalt Edition. The company had previously announced the launch date of this new color variant, and it is currently listed on the popular Chinese e-commerce website, JD.com for a price of 1,599 Yuan (roughly 250 US Dollars) and will be available for purchase starting from 17th May 2021.

This pricing is almost around 60 percent higher than the base Classic variant of the smart watch, which is priced at 999 Yuan (roughly 155 US Dollars) in China. Similar to the classic edition, the OnePlus Watch Cobalt Edition will also feature a 316L stainless steel but with a cobalt alloy frame as well. Another new addition includes a sapphire glass cover, which is surrounded by a circular dial that has a gold color finish. Similarly, the wearable will also be available with leather and fluoro rubber straps.

Interestingly, even the packaging retail box of the Cobalt edition arrives in a new luxury design. While there are aesthetical differences between the two variants, the specifications and internals of the device remains the same. The watch will still sport a 1.39 inch AMOLED displau with a 454x454px resolution. This is coupled with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. It also offers the same bloog oxygen, sleep, and heart beat monitoring system along with activity trackers as well.

The OnePlus Watch was announced alongside the OnePlus 9 series in late March. The wearable is now available for purchase in multiple markets. It even received its first-ever firmware update a couple of weeks back. Now, the company is rolling out another update with a much-requested feature by media houses and early adopters.

These features are nothing but the missing AOD (Always-on Display) functionality and camera shutter control function. Apart from these two additions, the new update also adds a ‘Marathon’ workout mode.

OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus Watch alongside the OnePlus 9 series. The watch is the brand’s first smartwatch and it has been received with mixed reactions. OnePlus is now set to launch the smartwatch for sale in India for the first time. The watch will go on sale first starting from April 21 on the brand’s exclusive Red Cable Club. On April 22, the smartwatch will then be on open sale via online and offline channels in India including Amazon.in.

The OnePlus Watch Classic Edition is available in both Midnight Black and Moonlight Silver colors and uses a  Fluoroelastomer strap. This edition, which is the one that would go on sale soon, carries a price tag of Rs. 14,999 (~$199). However, OnePlus will be offering an instant discount of Rs. 2,000 for SBI credit card users and EMI transactions. This offer will run until April 30, 2021, so the effective price of the smartwatch during this period will be Rs. 12,999 (~$172).

As a reminder, the OnePlus Watch features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display and has an HD resolution of 454×454 pixels and 326 PPI. The round watch dial is covered by a 2.5D curved glass. The watch utilizes a 46mm frame made from 316L stainless steel with two buttons on the sides with one of them having the OnePlus’ logo. The smartwatch also features a Fluoroelastomer strap and you can use third-party straps if you want.

The OnePlus Watch is powered by an STM32 chipset paired with 1GB RAM and there is 4GB of internal storage onboard. It equally comes with the usual sensors such as Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Geomagnetic sensor, Barometer, Blood Oxygen sensor, Optical heart rate sensor, Ambient light sensors. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou.

The OnePlus Watch can also track stress levels, heart rate (PPG), sleep, and Blood Oxygen levels (SpO2), 110+ workout modes. Other features include smartphone notifications, receiving calls, as well as SMS. You also get more than 50 watch faces onboard.

The watch is said to come with both 5ATM and IP68 water and dust protection properties. Perhaps, another impressive feature is the ability to use the watch as a remote controller to control OnePlus TVs. It equally packs a linear motor onboard used for haptic feedback.

Last week, OnePlus launched its very first smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch. The $159 watch comes with several features but also misses out on some, one of which is Always-On Display (AOD). In a Deep Dive and FAQ posted on its official forums, OnePlus explains why the feature is missing and the possibility of it being added later on.

The OnePlus Watch has a 1.39-inch AMOLED display. Owners will be able to wake the display by pushing the side button or lifting their wrist. If the watch had support for AOD, owners would not have to do either of these just to check the time or date.

OnePlus acknowledges that AOD is a much requested feature, however, it explains that AOD can lead to a 50% increase in power consumption. Nevertheless, they are “evaluating the possibility of bringing it in a future OTA”

Some manufacturers that include the AOD feature in their smartwatches allow users to be able to turn it off or on when they want. For example, on the Amazfit GTR, there is a settings menu that lets you turn on or off the feature. It also lets you customize what time during the day you want it activated. We expect OnePlus will follow a similar pattern if it decides to bring the feature to the OnePlus Watch.

The post also mentions some other important details about the watch. OnePlus says that they optimized the bottom layer of the display architecture and increased the frame rate from the industry’s 30 fps standard to 50 fps. This result in the OnePlus Watch beiing one of the smoothest smartwatches with long battery life available.

OnePlus also revealed that an OTA update will allow users customize a pre-set reply list to instantly reply to messages on the watch. At the moment, the pre-set reply list cannot be modified.

The OnePlus Watch will go on sale on April 14 in select markets. It is only compatible with Android devices for now and works with the OnePlus Health app.

Earlier this year, OnePlus ventured into the wearable technology market by announcing the OnePlus Band fitness tracker. Today, it will be taking off covers from the OnePlus Watch as its first smartwatch. Before the launch, reliable tipster Mukul Sharma (aka stufflistings) has shared the key specifications and features of the OnePlus Watch.

The leak reveals that the OnePlus Watch will have a 1.39-inch AMOLED display that will offer an HD resolution of 454 x 454 pixels and 326ppi pixel density. It will be backed by a 402mAh. A recent report claimed that the watch can last for around a week by charging it for only 20 minutes.

The new leak claims that the OnePlus Watch will offer 25 hours of continuous exercise with GPS and 5 days of blood oxygen/sleep monitoring. The right edge of the smartwatch has two buttons, one is a power key and the other one is a function button. Some of the supported features of the OnePlus Watch include a microphone, a speaker, and a linear motor

The OnePlus Watch will be compatible with Android devices. However, the leak claims that it will not support iOS devices. It is not clear whether the company will iOS support a bit later. The smartwatch will offer 5ATM and IP68 rated dust and water resistance.

Amidst a packed launch schedule, OnePlus is bringing their OnePlus 9 series and OnePlus Watch tomorrow(March 23). With just a day left, the pricing of the OnePlus Watch for Europe has now been leaked.

Leaker Ishan Agarwal says that the OnePlus Watch will start at €150 for the European / EU market. He hasn’t mentioned the price for other regions like China, India. Also, do note that he says it’s a starting price so this could be for the standard variant.

Previous leaks say that the OnePlus Watch will launch in two variants- Standard and LTE. The Watch dial, however, will have 46mm size and come in two colors- Silver, Black. Renders have already given us a good look at how the smartwatch would look like in Black.

Unsurprisingly, the OnePlus Watch looks more like the OPPO Watch RX that never released. Today, Ishan has posted the renders in both colors. Considering its OnePlus, the device should also have an AMOLED display and there are chances of it being 1.28-inches in size.

Coming back to the pricing, Ishan clearly says that these prices are only for Europe. Generally, OnePlus products tend to be a little pricier in this region compared to others like Asia so a mere conversion is useless.

As for features, the OnePlus Watch is expected to have heart-rate(PPG) and Blood Oxygen monitoring(SpO2 sensor), in addition to sleep and stress monitoring, 4GB storage, IP68-rating, Warp Charge technology, answer phone calls, control media, serve as a remote for OnePlus TVs, 110+ workout modes, & more.

POCO X3 Pro

POCO kicks off the week with a global launch event on Monday, March 22. It is believed that it will announce the POCO X3 Pro, an affordable 4G flagship killer, that will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 chipset. The Xiaomi offshoot is also expected to announce a second phone, the POCO F3 which has been reported to be a rebadge of the Redmi K40. This means the POCO F3 will have the Snapdragon 870 5G processor powering it, a super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 48MP triple rear cameras.

Vivo X60 series heads to India but the first stop is Malaysia

The Vivo X60 series will be making its way to India on March 25 but before then, it will make its first stop in Malaysia on Monday, March 22, for its global debut. It has been reported that the camera-centric phones will drop the Exynos 1080 chipset found in the China model for the Snapdragon 870 processor.

Vivo Y72 5G

Vivo will try to grab more of the spotlights on Monday when it unveils its new mid-range 5G phone, the Vivo Y72 5G in Thailand. This phone will have a MediaTek chipset at its heart, a 5000mAh battery, and 64MP triple rear cameras.

OnePlus 9 Series and OnePlus Watch

OnePlus takes over on Tuesday, March 23, for the launch of the OnePlus 9 series. Three phones are expected at the launch which should simultaneously hold in India, Europe, and the United States. There is the top-of-the-line OnePlus 9 Pro which will come along with a standard variant called the OnePlus 9 while an India-exclusive OnePlus 9R will also be announced. The much-awaited OnePlus Watch will also be unveiled at the event. China will get its own launch event on the following day.

Black Shark 4 series

On the same Tuesday, Black Shark will be unveiling its new gaming smartphones – the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro. These two phones will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 processor respectively, 144Hz AMOLED screens, 4500mAh batteries, and support for 120W fast wired charging. The phones will also have motorized shoulder buttons that retract into the frame when not needed.

Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex goes pro

If you don’t want to grab the OnePlus Watch, then you may be interested in Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex Pro smartwatch which is launching on March 23 too. This is a rugged smartwatch and it will be arriving with new features such as a new BioTracker PPG sensor and a revamped operating system.

Another Honor V40 phone, this time it’s “light and luxurious ”

The Honor V40 5G launched earlier this year as the manufacturer’s first phone following its split from Huawei. Now, it is getting a sibling that will be sold as the Honor V40 Light Luxury Edition and it is also coming on March 23.

The phone looks premium with its curved display and eye-catching rear design. It has been reported it will have support for 66W fast charging, so you can refill its 3800mAh battery in under an hour.

realme C25 and realme 8 series

realme has two events next week. The first will hold in Indonesia on March 23 and it plans to unveil the realme C25 smartphone, a budget MediaTek-powered phone with a 6000mAh battery capacity.

The following day, March 24, realme India will take the wraps off the realme 8 series. This will be a bigger event with not only more phones but more fanfare as the phones are realme’s challengers to the Redmi Note 10 series.

Motorola Edge S goes global as the Moto G100

Towards the end of last year, Motorola announced that the first Moto G smartphone with a Snapdragon 800 series processor is coming this year. On Thursday, March 25, the phone will arrive as the Moto G100. The device should be familiar to those who have been following Motorola’s announcements this year as it is a rebadge of the China-exclusive Motorola Edge S, the first flagship killer of 2021. We are excited nonetheless.

iQOO Z3

The iQOO Z3 5G is scheduled to launch in China on March 25. Reports say the phone will come with a Snapdragon processor, an FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and support for 55W fast charging.

The OnePlus Watch is coming on Tuesday, March 23. Specs and features of the smartwatch have appeared in leaks as well as from official sources. Today, new info has been revealed, this time from OnePlus’s CEO, Pete Lau.

In a tweet posted earlier today, the founder revealed that the OnePlus Watch has more than 110 work-out modes. The tweet also includes a short animated video that shows some of the work-out modes such as walking, swimming, cycling, running, cricket, badminton, weightlifting, ballet, free training, and shooting.

It is not unusual to see a high number of supported sports modes on smartwatches these days. Smartwatches such as the Amazfit GTS 2, Amazfit GTR 2, the Huawei Watch Fit, and Honor Watch ES all have sports modes that number over 80.

The OnePlus Watch has a 46mm round dial with two buttons on the side. Along with having support for several work-out modes, the watch will also have a heart rate monitor, a SpO2 sensor, and sleep tracking. It will also be able to answer phone calls, display notifications, control media playback, and work as a remote for OnePlus TVs.

OnePlus will officially announce the OnePlus 9 series on March 23 and along with the flagship series will arrive the OnePlus Watch, the brand’s first smartwatch. Ahead of the event, the OnePlus Watch is already listed for pre-order on Jingdong. The listing which targets potential buyers in China will be available upon payment of 50 yuan (~$7) which will result in a deduction of 100 yuan (~$15) from the final price whenever the device goes on sale.

The Jingdong product page sadly doesn’t reveal any further details of the device apart from the official teasers that have been shared earlier by OnePlus. The specs page, however, shows that the wearable device will come with Bluetooth and GPS. We’ll still have to wait until the launch to find out more.

However, the renders of the OnePlus Watch appeared on Twitter earlier today, thanks to Unbox Therapy. This is our first look at the watch’s entire design. The smartwatch is expected to be available in a 46mm dial size. It is said to come in Silver and Black color options even though the teasers have only shown the Black variant consistently.

In addition, noted tipster Ishan Agarwal disclosed recently that the OnePlus Watch will feature support for heart-rate monitoring, and Blood Oxygen monitoring (SpO2 sensor). It is also expected to come with regular fitness tracking features like sleep tracking, stress levels, automatic workout detection, and a host of other features.

The watch which will have an IP68 waterproof rating will also arrive with support for call notifications and can be used to control the OnePlus TV. You also get 4GB of internal storage that can be used to store your favorite songs which makes this a fitting companion while out jogging or during workouts.

OnePlus confirmed that it is bringing its first Smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch alongside the OnePlus 9 flagships on March 23. Today, popular Unbox Therapy has revealed the official render and it looks a lot like the forbidden fruit OPPO Watch RX.

Looking at the image shared by Unbox Therapy on Twitter, we see the straps having textured patterns as shown in previous teasers. The watch dial is round and it isn’t surprising after seeing designs on the GPTO. However, what is surprising is that it looks more like the OPPO Watch RX and this was already denoted in an earlier leak.

For the unware, OPPO revealed the OPPO Watch RX briefly but it never went on sale as promised. The company had said that the smartwatch would launch in Blue, Black, and Gold colors and come with a 1.28-inch AMOLED round display.

Cut back to the OnePlus Watch render, we see a similar round-shaped display and two buttons(one has ‘OnePlus’ logo on it) on the sides like the OPPO Watch RX. Now, keep in mind that we aren’t firmly saying it would be the exact same watch but there is a possibility that it will have a lot of similarities.

There’s a lot of things going on with OnePlus and OPPO lately. The companies whose majority of shares are with OPlus(Oujia Holdings Ltd.,) have already merged their hardware R&D department and the latest rumors point to a software merger with the OnePlus 9 series in China.

It could have been easier for us to put forward the resemblance had OPPO launched the Watch RX. Either way, the OnePlus Watch is said to launch in Silver and Black colors according to Ishan Agarwal.

The OnePlus Watch also looks to have an AMOLED display however, the always-on isn’t confirmed yet. As for the features, it is said to support heart-rate(PPG) and Blood Oxygen monitoring(SpO2 sensor), in addition to sleep and stress monitoring, 4GB storage, IP68-rating, Warp Charge technology & more.

The smartwatch also would have options to answer phone calls, control media, serve as a remote for OnePlus TVs. Let’s wait for a few days to know the official pricing.

It’s a no-brainer that the OnePlus 9 series is arriving on March 23 globally and March 24 in China. The company has so far been promoting the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro devices but never spoke about the rumored 9R. That ends today as OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed it himself.

In an exclusive interview with News18, Pete Lau says that the company is excited to bring the OnePlus 9R. The device will be targeted for a flagship experience at an affordable price.

If we recall, an older Android Central report said that the company is planning to bring a third device with an older Snapdragon 865 chipset. This was first believed to be the OnePlus 9 Lite only to be revealed as the OnePlus 9R later.

Coming back, Pete says that both the OnePlus 9R and OnePlus Watch will launch alongside the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro on March 23. He goes on to say further that the device will focus more on “smooth scrolling, immersive gaming controls and a superior viewing experience”.

To aid the above parameters, the device will also have the technology and class-leading industrial design so that the company can give a balanced all-around smartphone as per Pete. Talking about 5G, he says the network provides improved speed, better latency for cloud gaming.

There were vague rumors about the third device launching with watered-down specs like Snapdragon 690 5G chipset but looking at Pete Lau’s interview we feel that the device will be closer to the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro in performance, user experience, 5G but sell at a lower price.

Apart from India, we can also expect OnePlus to bring the 9R to countries like China.

OnePlus has already confirmed that it will bring out its first-ever Smartwatch on March 23. The Watch has already appeared on multiple certifications and some of its info including design has been out before. Now, the entire specs and features of this OnePlus Watch have been leaked before launch.

Leaker Ishan Agarwal has partnered with Pricebaba to reveal the information regarding the OnePlus Watch. According to him, the Smartwatch will come in a 46mm size of Watch dial. Further, it will come in two colors- Silver, Black and launch in both standard and LTE variants.

One of these variants has already been teased by the company and we can see the OnePlus logo etched onto a button. Anyway, Ishan says that the device will support heart-rate(PPG) and Blood Oxygen monitoring(SpO2 sensor). Along with this, the OnePlus Watch would be able to track your sleep, stress levels.

The Smartwatch is also said to have many activity tracking including automatic workout detection, swimming mode, and more. Below are some of the smart features that is coming to the OnePlus Watch:

• Answer phone calls
• Display notifications
• Media Controls
• Double up as remote control(for OnePlus TVs)

Apart from this, the OnePlus Watch is also said to feature a 4GB internal storage. However, we aren’t sure of this processor and the underlying OS just yet. Previous reports have already said that the Chinese smartphone maker would skip Google’s Wear OS and Ishan says the same.

Other features of the smartwatch include IP68-rating, support for Warp Charge technology, and if Ishan’s right, the OnePlus Watch will charge completely in just 20 minutes. Let’s wait for more info at next week’s launch event.

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 has confirmed to launch the OnePlus 9 series on March 23. Though the company has not revealed if the OnePlus Watch will be announced at the same event, the wearable has been tipped to make its debut alongside the OnePlus 9 smartphones. Ahead of its official announcement, the OnePlus Watch has now cleared one more certification.

The upcoming OnePlus Watch with model number W310GB has been spotted on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification bureau. Hence, we can expect this wearable to debut in this country.

According to previous reports, the OnePlus Watch (W310GB) will feature a square-shaped dial. It is expected to sport a similar design as the OPPO Watch. Whereas, a second variant with model number W501GB will have a circular dial like the realme Watch S series from the sister brand realme.

As of now, there’s no concrete proof of whether these two smartwatches will run Google Wear OS. If they don’t, then they will be merely glorified fitness trackers with watch designs like most so-called smartwatches available in the market.

That said, at least one of these wearables was supposed to go official in late 2020 with a limited edition in collaboration with Cyberpunk 2077 video game. However, that never happened and it’s not sure whether the special edition will be debuting now.

The OnePlus smartwatch with a square display could release as OnePlus Watch and the one with a circular screen may launch as OnePlus Watch RX. Both of them are certified by BIS and therefore, the due could get a launch in India like the OnePlus Band.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about these watches, however, there’s a chance that the circular model could sport a design that was recently patented by OnePlus.

OnePlus is expected to break the silence on the OnePlus 9 series next week. The company has already started teasing its partnership with Hasselblad but we will have to wait till March 8 to confirm it. Besides, the color variants of the series have now been leaked and renowned leaker Evan Blass has revealed the pre-order details of the devices.

In a post, Evan Blass says that the OnePlus 9 series’s pre-orders will begin on March 23. This is the same date as the rumored launch date. Anyway, he also reveals the details of the early bird gifts for the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro devices:

• OnePlus 9 – regular OnePlus Buds Z
• OnePlus 9 Pro- OnePlus Buds Z Steve Harrington Edition.

Additionally, Evan says that if the OnePlus 9R and the OnePlus Watch launch alongside the above devices, it won’t have any pre-order gifts. That said we already know that they are indeed accompanying the flagships at the launch event thanks to Ishan Agarwal.

Regarding the colors, the OnePlus 9 series is said to come in the following color variants:

• OnePlus 9- Astral Black, Arctic Sky, Winter Mist.
• OnePlus 9 Pro- Stellar Black, Forest Green, Morning Mist.

Carrier versions:

• OnePlus 9 (T-Mobile)- Astral Black, Winter Mist

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
