The OnePlus Watch was announced for India last night alongside the OnePlus 9 series. It is the first-ever smartwatch launched by OnePlus. Previously, the Chinese smartphone maker had launched a fitness band called the ‘OnePlus Band’.
The OnePlus Band wasn’t expensive and fit well within the budget for most people going for the Mi Band 5. However, the OnePlus Watch is priced at Rs 14,999, and it is not cheap for a majority of the market.
So why is this smartwatch from the OnePlus priced so high? Let’s take a look at all of its features and assess if the price is justified.
OnePlus Watch Features/Specifications
The OnePlus Watch comes with a 1.39-inch HD AMOLED display with the protection of 2.5D curved glass on top. It runs on the RTOS operating system (OS) and has 4GB of internal storage.
For fitness enthusiasts, there are more than 110 workout modes that the smartwatch is compatible with. To keep you relaxed about its safety, the smartwatch comes with IP68 and 5ATM certification meaning it is water and dust resistant.
It has a stainless steel glossy body. In the standard edition of the OnePlus Watch, you will get the strap made out of fluoroelastomer material, whereas in the Cobalt Limited Edition, the strap is made of leather.
The workout modes include activities such as badminton, swimming, elliptical, outdoor cycling, marathon, running, cycling, walking, jogging, cross trainer, rowing machine, yoga, cricket, mountaineering, and more.
Other health features of the OnePlus Watch include rapid heart rate monitoring, SpO2 detection, breathing, stress detection, and sedentary reminder.
The OnePlus Watch has a standalone GPS fitted inside with four satellite positioning. All the health data and stats of the users will be recorded and synced with the OnePlus Health application.
