\nThe OnePlus Watch 2 made waves when it launched last year because of its design, battery life, and Wear OS integration among other things. This time around, it looks like OnePlus didn\u2019t want to rock the boat. It comes with a design similar to last year\u2019s watch with the side protrusion that houses the main button. The main difference is the metallic bezel with five-minute intervals marked. This gives the watch a more traditional look.
\nOnePlus prioritizes the battery performance of its smartwatches, as it can deliver up to five days of normal usage. This is with all of the smartwatch features available. This is thanks to a dual-operating system that lives within the watch. The smart functions are handled by Wear OS.
\nHowever, when the watch is idle or when it\u2019s not using the smart features, it jumps over to a much more power-efficient operating system dedicated to fitness tracker functions. Switching to the other operating system exclusively can get this watch through 16 days on a single charge. Your mileage will vary, of course.
\nIf you\u2019re interested in picking up the OnePlus Watch 3, you can pre-order it today. It costs $329, which undercuts much of the competition in the premium smartwatch space.
\nThe OnePlus Watch 3 won\u2019t get the ECG feature in the U.S.
\nOne of the more notable features to come with their watch is the addition of an ECG (Electrocardiogram) measurement tool. It\u2019s a tool that measures the electrical activity of your heart. The OnePlus Watch 3 has a feature called 60-Second Health Check-In. To activate that feature, you\u2019ll place your finger on the designated spot for a minute. The watch will then do a quick check-in to give you a general picture of your health.
\nThe thing is that the feature requires the ECG to function. As such, if you can\u2019t access the ECG, you won\u2019t be able to use the 60-Second Health Check-In. OnePlus stated that, since it wasn\u2019t able to get the FDA certification, users in the U.S. and Canada won\u2019t be able to use the feature. However, the global variant of the watch will use the feature.
\nWhile you can\u2019t use this feature, there\u2019s so much to the OnePlus Watch 3 that you most likely won\u2019t miss it. Everything else functions, if you\u2019re interested in getting it, you won\u2019t be disappointed.
