The reasonable price of the OnePlus Watch may have finally leaked
While the mobile world’s most trusted leakers, OnePlus itself, and… T-Mobile took care of revealing everything there is to know about the two global high-end phones scheduled to be properly announced tomorrow, the company’s rookie smartwatch effort started the week with a couple of question marks still hovering around its name.
$150 or… more?

Basic software + refined design + stellar battery = winner?
As it turns out, the OnePlus Watch will not run a “full” version of Wear OS after all, but it remains to be seen exactly what the company’s proprietary software platform can do. Rendered in both black and silver hues by Ishan Agarwal today, the device, which we fully expect to be compatible with Android handsets and iPhones, continues to be teased by its manufacturers on social media as well.
Design this refined takes time. Each #OnePlusWatch is individually hand polished for a stunning finish that’s infinitely irresistible.

The latest such promotional tweet focuses on the hard work needed to “refine” that circular design, which requires the “individual hand polishing” of every single unit for a “stunning finish that’s infinitely irresistible.”
To be perfectly honest, we wouldn’t call that design irresistible based on existing renders, but perhaps real-life photographs will do the smartwatch justice when it is finally announced and detailed on March 23 and hopefully commercially released shortly thereafter.
Then again, with a full week of endurance between charges, blazing fast Warp Charge technology, IP68 water and dust resistance, a heart rate monitor, blood oxygen saturation, and sleep tracking purportedly in tow, the OnePlus Watch could have plenty of things going for it under the hood to offset any and all software shortcomings and warrant $150, $175, or even $200.
