OnePlus on Tuesday unveiled<\/strong><\/a> its first-ever smartwatch alongside its OnePlus 9 flagship smartphones.<\/p>\n

The smartwatch comes packed with top-tier features such as exercise monitoring, long battery life, and easy connectivity.<\/p>\n

“The OnePlus Watch showcases the same sense of craftsmanship and build quality as OnePlus smartphones, resulting in a product that is powerful to use and beautiful to hold,” OnePlus said.<\/p>\n

It comes in a round design resembling a conventional watch and comes with a stainless-steel case that measures 46mm in diameter.<\/p>\n

The new OnePlus watch boasts a crisp resolution thanks to its 2.5D curved sapphire glass case, 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen, and 326 pixels per inch (PPI) density.<\/p>\n

The watch sports a feature that allows users to select a photo and create a watch face that matches the shade of colour in the image.<\/p>\n

To further personalise the watch, it comes with a removable strap that can be replaced with any regular third-party strap.<\/p>\n

Customers can select from two classic colours – Moonlight Silver and Midnight Black – as well as a third option – the Cobalt Limited Edition.<\/p>\n

The limited-edition case is made of a hypoallergenic cobalt alloy that is twice as strong and rust-resistant as stainless steel.<\/p>\n

OnePlus smartwatch features <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The OnePlus Watch runs on its own operating system and supports software updates from third parties via Google Play.<\/p>\n

Its connectivity features allow the user to respond to notifications, make and answer phone calls, play music, and take photos.<\/p>\n

Not only does it offer built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, but it can also act as a smart remote when connected to a OnePlus TV.<\/p>\n

Fitted with 1GB RAM and 4GB of standalone storage (2GB for actual use), it can store more than 500 songs and is compatible with most Bluetooth earbuds.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the watch uses a 2 Pogo pin charger that promotes all-day battery life. OnePlus claimed a five-minute charge will provide a day\u2019s worth of power, while a 20-minute charge can provide a week\u2019s use.<\/p>\n

The smartwatch has over 110 fitness workouts, as well as predictive exercise monitoring for jogging and running.<\/p>\n

Coupled with its built-in GPS, 5ATM and IP68 rating, it allows users to universally monitor their performance with metrics such as pulse, distance, calories, speed, and SWOLF.<\/p>\n

Finally, it also offers on-demand blood oxygen saturation monitoring, stress detection, and breathing exercises.<\/p>\n

The OnePlus Watch will be available first in North America from 14 April starting at $159 (R2,352).<\/p>\n

It will then be available in Europe from 26 April.<\/p>\n
