The Chinese smartphone company has today announced their highly anticipated smartwatch, OnePlus Watch. The company's first smartwatch was accompanied by the release of the new OnePlus 9 Series smarpthones.
Interestingly, OnePlus has decided to not go with Google's smartphone OS, or any other common smartphone platform, instead they've created their own.
This Apple-like move might make it easier for OnePlus to customize the experience but amount and quality of apps is reliant on OnePlus as well.
The smartwatch has a clear focus on health but it's packed with features, like GPS and Warp fast charging. You can charge week's battery life in just 20 minutes.
OnePlus has created the body from stainless steel, although there's also a special cobalt version, and watch face is measured at 46 mm.
While the watch is designed to be used alongside OnePlus 9, you can use it with any Android device or even iPhones, although that is still a work in progress.
OnePlus Watch is IP68 water and dust resistant, has a 15 day battery life, features over 110 workout modes, can measure blood oxygen, and offers 4 gigabytes storage for in-device music
OnePlus Watch starts at $159 with Cobalt special edition coming later.Permalink | Comments https://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2021/03/23/oneplus-unveiled-their-first-smartwatch-here-s-oneplus-watch
