Stuff Verdict

A more refined take on what was already a fantastic WearOS watch. The OnePlus Watch 3 lasts longer, looks slicker, and is even more fitness-focused.

Pros

Outstanding battery life for a WearOS watch

Slick styling inspired by traditional timepieces

Cons

Some health features country-dependent

Still just one size option and no LTE model

Introduction

We don’t talk about the original OnePlus Watch very much. At least, not kindly. But instead of slinking back into the smartwatch shadows, the firm’s defiant second attempt met critical acclaim. The styling was striking and the functionality much improved, but it was the seriously impressive battery life that made it stand out from the WearOS competition. The new OnePlus Watch 3 is looking to capture that magic again, with more of a focus on fitness.

It keeps the same two-chip approach as last year, only now they’re paired with the silicon-carbon battery tech found in the OnePlus 13smartphone for an even longer lifespan. Other highlights include a tougher titanium build, a new suite of health sensors, and a reimagined app to make all that data easier to digest.
