If you’ve been waiting for a smartwatch that looks as good as it performs, OnePlus has something new on the horizon. The OnePlus Watch 3 is set to launch on February 18 in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and it’s bringing a combination of classic design, improved durability, and impressive battery life. Available in two colors—Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium—this premium smartwatch keeps OnePlus’s signature look while upgrading materials and performance. Whether tracking workouts, managing notifications, or wanting a watch that won’t die on you after a day or two, the OnePlus Watch 3 is built to keep up.
A Smartwatch That Won’t Quit Midweek
One of the biggest pain points of smartwatches is how often they need charging. OnePlus is tackling that problem with 16 days of battery life in power-saving mode. Even when using smart features like notifications, GPS, and fitness tracking, it can last up to five days before needing a recharge. And if you forget to charge it? A quick 10-minute boost is enough to power a full day.
This long battery life comes from a combination of dual chipsets—a Snapdragon W5 for performance-heavy tasks and a BES2800 chipset for efficient power management. The watch also uses the OnePlus Silicon NanoStack Battery, a technology borrowed from the latest OnePlus smartphones, which allows for a larger 631mAh battery without making the watch bulkier.
A Watch That Looks as Premium as It Feels
OnePlus kept the stainless steel casing from its previous watch but added a titanium alloy bezel with a protective PVD coating to enhance durability. The 2D Sapphire Crystal display is brighter than before and more resistant to scratches, making it a solid choice whether you’re in the office or hitting the trails.
The Emerald Titanium model pairs a silver titanium bezel with a green fluororubber strap for a sporty yet refined look. The Obsidian Titanium version features a black titanium bezel with a black fluororubber strap if you prefer something more understated. Both models have a stainless steel buckle that complements the high-end design.
More Details Coming Soon
While OnePlus has revealed some key specs, they’re keeping a few surprises under wraps until launch day. More details on features, software improvements, and pricing will be shared during the official launch event on February 18. If you want to see the watch in action, OnePlus will host a video event featuring industry experts on its OnePlus Europe YouTube channel.
If you’re in the market for a smartwatch that blends classic style with modern tech, the OnePlus Watch 3 might be worth keeping an eye on. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to launch day.

Update 02/25/2025
The OnePlus Watch 3 was set to launch today, but due to a minor typo on the watch’s back, open sales are now delayed until April 2025, while OnePlus fixes the issue. If you receive a watch with the typo, you can return it—no questions asked.
Pre-orders are still open, and OnePlus offers a discount: use code TIME1010 to get $30 off in the U.S. ($299.99) while supplies last.
OnePlus will announce a new open-sale date soon, but in the meantime, the deal is live for those who are willing to wait for the corrected batch.
I have a OnePlus as my daily driver. I will definitely consider OnePlus as a wearable tech.
Thar is a sharp looking watch, and 16 hour battery run time? Excellent 🙂
Wow that looks great!
I’ve been using an Apple Watch for years, but I’m honestly getting tired of it. The sleek design and 16-day battery life of the OnePlus Watch 3 definitely look amazing!
The watch looks good, and the battery life is great!
