OnePlus returned to the world of wearable devices this year after a three-year hiatus with the OnePlus Watch 2, a device that impressed with performance and ultra-fast battery charging.
In addition, the company also introduced a more affordable model, the Watch 2R, for those who wanted an economical option without major compromises.
It looks like OnePlus is showing no signs of slowing down. On the contrary: preparing for a major new release.
Early global release
According to information recently revealed by sources close to the company, OnePlus plans to launch the Watch 3 internationally alongside the new 13 and 13R phones.

This new generation of devices is set to conquer the international market in the first months of 2025, continuing the company’s tradition of simultaneously launching both flagship models and more budget-friendly variants.
What we know about the new smartwatch
While details about the OnePlus Watch 3 are still pretty limited, it is expected to run Google’s Wear OS, just like previous models.
Another likely aspect is the preservation of the impressive battery autonomy, which has already become a defining feature of OnePlus-branded smartwatches.
Design and ergonomics
Premium looks and robust functionality will remain priorities, but there’s a chance that OnePlus will address some criticism received from users, such as the 47mm size of the previous model, which was considered too large by some of them.
A possible point of interest for the Watch 3 could be the return of the dual-chip setup, with possible improvements to the main processor.
This setup has been praised for its energy efficiency and overall performance, and an update could strengthen OnePlus’ position in the smartwatch market.
Multiple releases, an established strategy
The company’s strategy of launching several products at once is not new. For example, the Watch 2 was presented right after the OnePlus 12 and 12R flagships.
Now, with the Watch 3 set to debut alongside the 13 and 13R, OnePlus continues to expand its portfolio with products to appeal to diverse consumer segments.
It remains to be seen what surprises the OnePlus Watch 3 will bring.
