- OnePlus has announced the more compact Watch 3 (43mm) with a stainless steel build, AMOLED display, menstrual tracking, and up to five days of battery life in smart mode.
- Though it lacks temperature sensors or vascular health features found in other smartwatches, the new model retains high-end specs like a Snapdragon W5 chip and Wear OS support.
When OnePlus launched the OnePlus Watch 3 earlier this year, my colleague Kaitlyn complained about its large 46mm case size and hefty 81g weight. While some people wouldn’t mind a big, weighty watch on their wrists, others will, and OnePlus is aiming for the latter audience with the new, smaller OnePlus Watch 3 43mm that it has launched today alongside the OnePlus Buds 4, and the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord 5 CE.
The OnePlus Watch 3 is 43mm in diameter and weighs just 59g with the strap, despite its stainless steel build, making it much better suited for thinner wrists than its 47mm brethren. Up front, there’s a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466, giving it a 352DPI. The default maximum brightness is 600 nits, though high brightness mode can push it up to 1,000 nits.
