The OnePlus Watch 3 has been rumored to have rotating crown technology.
It is possible that the much-anticipated OnePlus Watch 3 may be released in the coming months. According to a fresh rumor, this model may finally contain a rotating crown that is functional, which is a feature that was noticeably omitted in its predecessor.
In comparison to its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 2 was a huge advancement that provided users with a powerful Wear OS wristwatch experience together with exceptionally long battery life. As a result of a leak from SmartPrix, it has been speculated that the OnePlus Watch 3 will continue to improve upon the formula, which will be built upon this foundation.
The Structure and the Characteristics
Some preliminary information indicates that the OnePlus Watch 3 will continue to have a design that is comparable to that of its predecessor, as depicted in images based on prototype material. The OnePlus Watch 2R, which was released in the middle of the cycle, strayed from the design of the Watch 2 more than the future Watch 3 appears to have done.
It is reported that the OnePlus Watch 3 has a rotating digital crown that is functional, which is the most notable feature of the watch. It was a disappointment for many people that the crown on the OnePlus Watch 2 did not interact with the user interface, despite the fact that it could physically rotate. This shortcoming is one that the Watch 3 intends to correct, giving an experience that is more dynamic and naturally intuitive.
Enhancements to the Sensors and Functions
Included in the list of rumored improvements for the OnePlus Watch 3 are the following:
Tracking of health that is improved: A heart rate sensor that is more advanced and also has ECG capabilities.
An increase in connectivity could include compatibility for LTE, which would allow for greater autonomous usage.
OS 5 for Wear: According to the rumor, the Watch 3 will be sent with Wear OS 5, and it is possible that earlier versions, including the Watch 2 and the Watch 2R, may also receive this update.
The Mechanisms and the Performance
It is anticipated that the OnePlus Watch 3 will maintain the following major hardware specifications:
Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 will be the processor.
Memory and Storage: 2 gigabytes of random access memory (RAM) and 32 gigabytes of storage!
Integration of Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) alongside Wear OS for the purpose of optimizing battery life.
The capacity of the battery is listed as “500+ mAh,” although earlier leaks suggest that it could be far larger, which could potentially increase the already remarkable battery life beyond its current capacity.
A Timeline for Launch
The OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2025. Although the OnePlus 13 series will be the primary focus of the upcoming major event with OnePlus, which is slated to take place on January 7, there is no strong indication that the Watch 3 will be introduced alongside the new devices.
