OnePlus has new phones on tap for next week’s product launch, but YouTube channel Unbox Therapy has details about another device on the agenda—a smartwatch.
Unbox Therapy tweeted the first full image of the device. It looks pretty similar to other smartwatches on the market, with a round watch face, at least two side buttons, and a rubber or silicone band.
OnePlus responded to the image by inviting everyone to attend its March 23 event, where the smartwatch will launch alongside the OnePlus 9 flagship phones. (Stay tuned for our coverage.)
On Wednesday, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau also teased details about the upcoming watch, which he says has been the most requested device from the company’s customers. “Our priority for devices that are part of the OnePlus ecosystem is to offer fashionable designs, provide seamless connectivity and deliver a best-in-class user experience. And the new OnePlus Watch is no exception,” he wrote in a forum post.
He stressed the product will arrive with an “affordable price point.” It will also skirt Google’s Wear OS operating system for an unspecified real-time operating system, “because we believe it provides you a smooth and reliable experience while offering a great battery life,” Lau said.
Other leaks claim the watch sports a 46mm watch face, an IP68 rating for some water resistance, 4GB of storage, and features to track your sleep, stress, and blood saturation levels.
Earlier this year, the company also launched a $35 fitness tracker, but it’s only available in India.
