OnePlus is set to launch its very first smartwatch, OnePlus Watch, on March 23 alongside OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro phones. The brand currently tends to make a wise fitness band, OnePlus Band, but this will be the very first time it will come up with a appropriate smartwatch even though how appropriate, we do not know just but. All we know is that the OnePlus Watch has apparently been the “most-requested device” from the OnePlus neighborhood, brand co-founder and CEO Pete Lau stated in a weblog post on Wednesday.

In common OnePlus style, the brand is dropping subtle cues—Easter Eggs if you will—to construct hype about its very first smartwatch. This suggests, we currently have some concept of what to anticipate on D-day. Here’s every little thing we know about the OnePlus Watch so far:
The moment you have been waiting for is virtually right here. #OnePlusWatch

OnePlus Watch value
As described earlier, OnePlus Watch will be the brand’s very first smartwatch. Lau stated OnePlus saw “smartwatches as more than just instruments that indicate the time and heart rates, but powerful devices capable of elevating our personal digital experience to new heights.”
Lau stated that OnePlus will present a “best-in-class experience at an affordable price point” so that is a key cue suitable there. It is really probably that the OnePlus Watch will not price as substantially as some thing like say an Apple Watch or even a Samsung Galaxy Watch. Those smartwatches have their added benefits, one is, you do not require a tethered smartphone to use them all the time, they have their personal app retailer, and just normally speaking, they are actual “smart” watches.
OnePlus Watch software program
The OnePlus CEO has confirmed that the OnePlus Watch will not be based on Google’s Wear OS which is a very good point really—there’s a explanation why Google acquired Fitbit right after all. What that also suggests is that the OnePlus is going with a “custom” OS, more particularly, a wise put on operating technique created based on RTOS (or Real-time operating technique). Lau stated this would support OnePlus in supplying a “smooth and reliable experience while offering a great battery life.” For some context, the Realme Watch also comes with proprietary software program constructed on major of RTOS.

OnePlus Watch connectivity characteristics
Speculations are rife that OnePlus Watch will come in normal (Wi-Fi) and LTE configurations, but OnePlus hasn’t confirmed this but. It has on the other hand confirmed some of its crucial characteristics which includes heart price monitoring and step counting. With proprietary software program, it is also anticipated that the OnePlus Watch will give customers access to a number of sports modes.
OnePlus is touting interconnectivity components which suggests that the OnePlus Watch will be capable to communicate with “OnePlus smartphones, audio peripherals, smartwear devices, and even OnePlus TVs, making smart control over all these devices simple and intuitive.”
Expertly crafted and meticulously developed, the #OnePlusWatch is the ideal companion to elevate your digital life. Rack up methods, monitor your heart-price, and substantially more, with our debut timepiece.

OnePlus Watch style
As for style, Lau stated the OnePlus Watch will be a “fashionable” accessory although one more teaser reveal by the brand has confirmed that it will have a round dial with physical buttons one of which will carry the OnePlus logo. Rumour mills recommend the OnePlus Watch will be obtainable in 64mm size—though this is not confirmed but.
