Following the launch of the OnePlus Watch 2 at MWC, the Watch 2R was followed at the end of the year as a cheaper alternative.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is a Wear OS-based smartwatch that OnePlus launched in early 2024 as a drastic upgrade over 2020’s dreadful OnePlus Watch. Later on in the year, the OnePlus Watch 2R launched as a slightly cheaper, but essentially identical device.
The Watch 2 has only been available since March and the 2R since July, but the company is clearly already preparing for the launch of another smartwatch in the near future.
According to a very active tipster Yogesh Brar on X, the OnePlus Watch 3 will be hitting “global markets” in the near future.It will launch internationally alongside the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R.However, this seems unlikely as the former was officially launched in China last month, a global launch could be imminent, and OnePlus has yet to reveal anything about the new smartwatch.
There are no details about the OnePlus Watch 3 yet, but we of course expect it to run Google’s Wear OS just like its two predecessors from earlier this year. The Watch 2 was widely regarded for its stellar battery life, but it’s unclear what a sequel might bring to the table.
