Citing the massive boom of the smart wearables business around the world, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau announced to launch a smartwatch earlier last year. The company later confirmed the launch with an official teaser. We have since seen many leaks, rumors, and patent filings about the OnePlus Watch pop up on the internet. Today, alongside the OnePlus 9 series, the company has finally released the OnePlus Watch in India.
So, here are the key specifications and features of the OnePlus Watch.
OnePlus Watch: Specs and Features
Now, the OnePlus Watch comes with a 46mm circular dial and looks much like the Galaxy Watch Active 2 at first sight. The wearable has two buttons on its right edge, one of these is a power button (with the OnePlus branding) and the other is a multi-function button. It has a stainless steel body with a glossy CD pattern on the display bezel.

Internals
Coming to the internals, the OnePlus smartwatch includes 4GB internal storage and enables you to store up to 500 songs onboard. There’s also built-in GPS to track your workouts even when you’re carrying your phone on you.
OnePlus Watch also has a 402mAh battery that offers you up to 14-days of battery life. It also comes with Warp Charge support, enabling the device to run for a week on a 20-minute charge. That is pretty impressive.

Custom OS
Now, we already know that the OnePlus Watch does not run on Google’s Wear OS platform. Instead, the smartwatch runs on a custom OS. That is much like what Samsung did with their Galaxy Watch series, which runs on the company’s proprietory Tizen OS platform.
