OnePlus has officially announced the global launch date of its highly anticipated smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3. Scheduled to debut on February 18, 2025, the smartwatch is set to offer notable improvements over its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 2, which launched in February 2024. The OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to feature a premium Titanium Bezel, Sapphire Crystal Face, and an extended battery life of up to 5 days in Smart Mode. However, there is no official confirmation regarding its India launch yet.

The upcoming smartwatch is rumored to be a rebranded OPPO Watch X2, which is set to be unveiled on February 20, 2025, alongside the OPPO Find N5 in Singapore. Here’s a detailed look at what the OnePlus Watch 3 brings to the table.

OnePlus Watch 3: Global Launch Details

Launch Date: February 18, 2025

Regions: US, Canada, and Europe

Event Timing: 8:00 AM EST / 6:30 PM IST (Indian Time)

The official OnePlus website now has a dedicated announcement page for the smartwatch. However, the OnePlus India website does not yet feature an announcement page, leaving the India launch timeline uncertain.

Design and Build

The OnePlus Watch 3 retains a familiar design but enhances durability with:

Titanium Bezel – A premium build for a sturdy and stylish look

Sapphire Crystal Face – A scratch-resistant display for improved longevity

Battery Life & Performance

One of the major upgrades in the OnePlus Watch 3 is its longer battery life. The brand claims:

Up to 5 days (120 hours) of battery life in Smart Mode

Improved battery capacity: The smartwatch is expected to house a 648mAh typical battery (631mAh rated), a significant increase from the 500mAh battery on the OnePlus Watch 2.

This battery expansion likely contributes to the improved runtime compared to its predecessor, which offered 100 hours in Smart Mode.

Pricing & Discount Offers

While OnePlus hasn’t officially disclosed the pricing of the Watch 3, it is expected to be slightly higher than the OnePlus Watch 2, which was launched at:

$299.99 (US)

₹24,999 (India)

Additionally, OnePlus is offering a $30 discount for users who subscribe to launch notifications (discount may vary by region). Furthermore, subscribers stand a chance to win exciting prizes, including:

OnePlus Pad 2 (1 Winner)

Expected India Launch

OnePlus has yet to confirm an India launch date for the Watch 3. However, given that the OnePlus Watch 2 was introduced in India in February 2024, we can expect the brand to make an announcement either later this month or in March 2025.

Conclusion

The OnePlus Watch 3 is shaping up to be a premium smartwatch with improved durability, battery life, and performance. While its global debut is set for February 18, Indian consumers will have to wait for an official confirmation regarding its availability in the country. With a potential price hike over its predecessor, OnePlus aims to position the Watch 3 as a high-end smartwatch offering premium features. Stay tuned for further updates as more details emerge.
