While the Pixel Watch 4 is generating plenty of buzz, the Wear OS watch I’m actually looking forward to the most is a potential OnePlus Watch 3R. The Watch 2R showed up about six months after the OnePlus Watch 2. If the current generation follows the same pattern, we should be seeing a 3R soon. With tariffs driving up prices across the board, a well-priced budget smartwatch (that doesn’t compromise on essentials) is more appealing than ever.
Still relatively fresh off my review of the OnePlus Watch 3, I’m itching to see the company launch a budget model follow-up. Last year, the OnePlus Watch 2R landed at $229, instantly making it one of the most affordable Wear OS watches available. What was most impressive, though, was how little OnePlus sacrificed to hit that price point.
