ONEPLUS SMART WATCH
The first smartwatch from OnePlus has arrived. After years of hype, the OnePlus Watch finally joins the affordable smartwatch race following Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo and others. Only that the OnePlus Watch can not be called affordable at a price of Rs 14,999, considering the Indian market. OnePlus has managed to make a good- looking watch with key focus on decision to opt for it's own software to sync the watch with a lesser- known OnePlus Health mobile app may need to be reconsidered. Going beyond the looks, software is the key for any wearable to shine. And making good software takes times.
The OnePlus watch offers a silicon band with a pin-strap mechanism. It's interesting that OnePlus did not opt for a buckle system particularly because the brand wanted the device to look like a traditional analog watch. The band is soft, comfortable and it's easy to keep it clean.
Talking about the display, you get a 1.39- inch AMOLED panel. The display is bright with good color reproduction. Sunlight legibility is decent with a pixel density of 326ppi. The touchscreen is responsive and there are no noticeable lags while navigating on this display. But there's huge round bezel that you need to hide with a watch face of dark color. In fact, it seems as if the bezel itself has pushed OnePlus to opt for 46mm case. You don't get an always- on display and you can set the screen timeout to a maximum of 60 seconds. This means you will have to tap the screen to glans at the time or turn the wrist, the display lights up.
The OnePlus Watch offers essential sensors to monitor heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, stress, activities, and more. There is a barometer and compass too. Workout modes include walking, jogging, running, marathon, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, freestyle training, swimming, among others. OnePlus is expected to roll out more workout modes later.
