OnePlus has priced the Watch 3 at $449 in Canada, which is in line with the price of the Galaxy Watch 7, even though it has features to match the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
I’ve been wearing the new watch all week, and so far, it’s been impressive. It has a super long battery life, a bright screen, and solid fitness tracking tech. OnePlus has also added a real rotating crown that controls the software and has haptic feedback. This makes the watch feel a lot more premium compared to the previous OnePlus watches, even if the actual feature set is pretty much the same.
The main improvements are a slightly longer max battery life of 120 hours in regular use and 16 days in battery saver, which pares it down to simply being a timepiece. The watch’s design feels slightly more premium than the OnePlus Watch 2R and Watch 2, but there are a few noticeable differences beyond that. Honestly, I think most people would be just as happy with the OnePlus Watch 2R since it also has a multi-day battery life and pretty great fitness tracking features.
The $449 price tag puts this watch in the middle of the pack price-wise, but in terms of features, I’d compare it with Samsung’s really expensive $879 Galaxy Watch Ultra. While OnePlus might have strayed away from its flagship killer mentality with smartphones, it’s still utilizing that strategy with watches.
