- The newly launched OnePlus Watch 3 offers ECG support, but the feature won’t be available in some regions.
- OnePlus has confirmed that the feature won’t be available to users in the US and Canada as the Watch 3 did not receive certification from the US FDA.
- The new “60-second Health Check-In” feature also won’t be available in North America at launch.
OnePlus just lifted the covers off its latest Wear OS smartwatch, and it’s quite an upgrade over its predecessor. In addition to a more durable titanium build and a larger battery, the OnePlus Watch 3 brings some notable upgrades to health and fitness features. However, some of these features are not available in the US.
9to5Google reports that while the global version of the OnePlus Watch 3 offers ECG support, the feature is absent in the model heading to the US and Canada. That’s because OnePlus could not get FDA certification for the watch’s ECG functionality.
