Tired of having to remember to charge your Apple Watch or Pixel Watch every night? The OnePlus Watch 3 boasts an incredible five days of battery life, letting you go almost a full week without finding an outlet, and it’s currently marked down to just $300 on Amazon in both the Emerald Titanium<\/a> and Obsidian Titanium<\/a> colorways.<\/p>\n

OnePlus has employed two main tricks to achieve such a long battery life on such a small watch. The first is silicon-carbon batteries that have a higher storage density than other batteries of the same size, so this watch has a 631-mAh battery in its surprisingly svelte bezel. There are also two operating systems running at the same time, with the Qualcomm chip handling all the Wear OS 5 features and a BES2800 running all the background tasks. The result is a massive five-day run time in normal mode or up to 16 days in power-saving mode, enough for an entire trip.<\/p>\n

It boasts a 1.5-inch AMOLED, which may be on the large side for some folks, but I wear a 45-mm Casio every day, so it sounds like an appealing size to me. It has great performance, with no stuttering or lag, and has all the features you’d expect from a full-fledged Wear OS watch, like fitness tracking, navigation, and even phone calls and texting.<\/p>\n

While it also has electrocardiogram capability, OnePlus didn’t get it approved for use in the United States or Canada, but you will find other classics like a heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, and fall detection, all of which work just as well as they do on the first-party offerings.<\/p>\n

Between the long battery life, great screen, and smooth Wear OS implementation, it certainly feels like OnePlus is coming into its own as a true competitor to the Pixel Watch.
