- OnePlus has pretty much confirmed its smartwatch plans.
- The company has teased the launch of the so-called OnePlus Watch on Twitter.
- The arrival of the first teaser suggests that the release is not far off.
OnePlus has finally acknowledged that the OnePlus Watch is real and will launch soon. The company posted a teaser on Twitter, suggesting that it will soon add a smartwatch to its ecosystem. The announcement closely followed the launch of the OnePlus 8T flagship.
The OnePlus tweet (seen below) returns to its previous plans to make a smart watch. The company first experimented with the idea in 2016. In fact, OnePlus not only had plans, it actually had a finished product back then. It decided not to go ahead with the launch because it didn’t want to confuse its device lineup by adding a weak product, just because most smartphone companies were jumping on the smartwatch bandwagon at the time.
Now, it seems, OnePlus sees some merit in adding a watch to its growing ecosystem of products. After all, its sister brands Oppo, Realme, and Vivo have already entered the market for wearable fitness devices, and OnePlus is the only one left out.
What to expect from the OnePlus Watch?
We first heard about the OnePlus Watch when it appeared on regulatory listings under that name a while ago. A former OnePlus employee also confirmed that the company has been actively researching a smartwatch for the past year. However, this latest tweet is the first time OnePlus has officially recognized its smartwatch plans.
Since the company has now started teasing the device, we may see it launch before the end of the year. The teaser also suggests that OnePlus Watch could launch in India before it is introduced in other markets.
The OnePlus Watch is expected to have a circular dial. No other specs have been proposed yet, but we expect to see the latest Snapdragon Wear processor alongside Google’s Wear OS software. You can read our OnePlus Watch wish list here.
