TechRadar reports that the OnePlus Watch 3, featuring Wear OS 5 and a secondary OS, boasts an impressive 120-hour battery life, surpassing competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra.
This longevity comes from a dual-chipset system combining the Snapdragon W5 and BES2800 MCU, intelligently switching between high-power Wear OS 5 and low-power Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to optimise energy use.
Celina Shi, OnePlus Europe’s CMO, highlighted the watch’s larger 631mAh Silicon NanoStack Battery, an upgrade from the OnePlus Watch 2’s 500mAh cell, ensuring higher energy density and longer power retention.
This improvement could potentially enhance sleep tracking, a key focus, offering more accurate insights into users’ sleep patterns.

In terms of design, the OnePlus Watch 3 introduces a titanium bezel, replacing the stainless steel of its predecessor, and a durable sapphire crystal face.
There’s also a new rotating digital crown, resembling the latest Apple Watch Series 10’s design, for smoother navigation. The watch will be available in two stylish colours, Obsidian Titanium (black) and Emerald Titanium (green).
While fitness features remain undisclosed, the rugged build suggests it will cater to adventure seekers and fitness enthusiasts, with OnePlus promising durability for any activity.
Could this be the new best smartwatch to beat? Only time will tell.
