Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
OnePlus Watch 3 43mm has a AMOLED display with a 466 x 466 resolution, making notifications and workout figures easy to read. The case weighs 37.8 g without the strap.
Wear OS provides Google Play apps, maps and music. NFC supports Google Wallet payments with compatible banks and countries. Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 works alongside a BES2800BP companion chip that handles some background tasks.
OnePlus rates battery life at up to 60 hours in standard smart mode or 36 hours with heavy use. That leaves room to skip nightly charging, although GPS, calls, brightness and watch faces affect the result.
Built-in GPS navigation records routes without a phone. Heart rate, SpO2, sleep tracking and workout modes help you follow activity trends, while 5 ATM water resistance supports pool swimming within the manufacturer’s guidance.
