The OnePlus Watch 3 arrives on February 18
OnePlus has revealed that you'll be able to get your hands on (or wrist under) its latest smartwatch very soon. The OnePlus Watch 3 will be available in the US, Canada and Europe on February 18. The company hasn't announced pricing just yet, but you can get a $30 discount if you sign up for updates. It claims that the Watch 3 can run for up to 16 days in power saver mode and five days in smart mode (which would be 20 hours longer than the Watch 2). Meanwhile, the wearable is said to run for up to 72 hours on a single charge if you're a heavy user. The company added that you can get a full day of use out of a 10-minute charge as well. OnePlus is trying to balance performance and battery life by employing two chipsets: the Snapdragon W5 performance chipset and the new BES2800 MCU Efficiency chipset. The Watch 3 also uses the same battery tech that the company employed in the OnePlus 13, while battery capacity has increased from 500mAh in the previous model to 631mAh. The extra capacity plus the promise of lower power consumption make for a potent combination to boost battery life. As was the case last time around, the OnePlus Watch 3 supports WearOS. The latest model doesn't look very different from the previous one on the surface, though there's a new bezel made from titanium and the sapphire crystal screen should bolster durability. The OnePlus Watch 3 will be available in two colorways, emerald titanium and obsidian titanium.

OnePlus Watch 3: what to expect
The OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to be revealed on February 18, and TechRadar recently got a first look at this wearable device. The new watch from the maker of the OnePlus 13 is expected to feature Wear OS 5, powered by the Snapdragon W5 chipset, which also includes a secondary MCU chip. This combination is expected to provide up to 120 hours of battery life between charges. As OnePlus Europe's Chief Marketing Officer Celina Shi explained, 'Our software seamlessly switches operations between these two chipsets enabling the OnePlus Watch 3 to run with maximum efficiency and strike the perfect balance between peak performance and extended battery life.' The OnePlus Watch 3 should feature a rotating digital crown alongside a titanium bezel with a sapphire crystal face. This is an update from the OnePlus Watch 2 that features stainless steel. How that digital crown compares to the Apple Watch Series 10 remains to be seen. According to Shi, 'With the ability to both press and rotate, the rotating crown makes navigating through apps and menus efficient and intuitive – and ultimately the user experience even better.' Beyond this, little is known about the new wearable device. Recent rumors indicate that the upcoming watch will include features now standard on smartwatches, such as health and fitness tools. Like recent Samsung Galaxy Watches such as the Galaxy Watch 7, it is expected to monitor blood pressure. This feature is projected to be available this fall with the release of the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The OnePlus Watch 3 should be available in the U.S., Europe, and other locations when released. The new watch will be revealed on Tuesday, February 18, at 8 a.m. EST.

OnePlus Watch 3 promises 16-day battery life and a sleek titanium design

Quick Summary OnePlus has announced its latest smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3, set to launch on 18 February in Europe and North America. With a 16-day battery life in power saver mode and a new titanium alloy design, it aims to blend endurance with elegance. OnePlus is back in the smartwatch game with the OnePlus Watch 3, a premium wearable that keeps things ticking for up to 16 days. Set to launch in Europe and North America on 18 February, this new model builds on its predecessor's strengths with a refined design, upgraded battery tech, and a striking titanium finish. Battery life is the big selling point here, and OnePlus isn't messing around. The Watch 3 offers up to 120 hours (five days) in smart mode and a hefty 16 days in power saver mode. If you do somehow run low, a quick 10-minute charge provides a full day's juice. Take that, Apple Watch Ultra 2. Under the hood, the OnePlus Watch 3 runs on a Dual-Engine Architecture, powered by the Snapdragon W5 performance chipset and a new BES2800 MCU Efficiency chipset. Thanks to improved 6nm FinFET fabrication and the same silicon anode battery tech found in the OnePlus 13, the battery capacity jumps from 500mAh to 631mAh – more power, less drain. OnePlus has stuck with the classic stainless-steel casing but introduced a titanium alloy bezel with a PVD coating for added durability (and Huawei Watch GT 4-esque look). The 2D Sapphire Crystal display not only boosts brightness but also adds strength and longevity, making it more resistant to scratches and everyday wear. Available in two colours, Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium, the OnePlus Watch 3 offers a choice between a silver titanium bezel with a green fluor rubber strap or a black titanium bezel with a matching black strap. OnePlus has promised a deep dive into the Watch 3's full capabilities during its launch event on 18 February, hosted on the official OnePlus Europe YouTube channel. While we don't have all the details yet, expect deeper Wear OS integration, optimised power efficiency, and a smartwatch designed for those who want longevity without sacrificing performance.
