OnePlus is hosting a New Year’s sales event on its official website, offering significant discounts on many of its products. By entering the code NEWYEAR26 at checkout, you’ll receive a $50 discount on the 46mm OnePlus Watch 3. The wearable is only available in Obsidian Titanium (black). The Emerald Titanium option is not available for purchase. It’s also possible to save even more money through the company’s trade-in program.Â
The amount you’ll safe depends on the device you trade in. For example, if you trade in an Apple Watch Series 10, you’ll receive an $88 discount. I would also like to mention that you will receive two complimentary gifts: an Emerald Green Watch Strap and a Nordic Blue Watch Strap.

The 43mm OnePlus Watch 3 is also on sale during this time. Once again, enter the code NEWYEAR26 at checkout to get a $50 discount. You won’t receive a complimentary gift, but you do have the option of choosing from two colors: Silver Steel and Black Steel.
The OnePlus Watch 3 is the brand’s latest flagship wearable, combining a sleek and durable design with a long battery life. According to ZDNET contributing writer Matthew Miller, the device can last up to five days on a single charge, which, as he points out, is something that many Apple Watch and Pixel Watch models do not offer.

It sports a bright 1.5-inch AMOLED display made of sapphire crystal glass, a notably hard material made to resist scratches. The OnePlus Watch 3’s fitness tracking is robust, with over 100 sport modes and deep post-workout analytics that display heart rate, running power, and more.
How I rated this deal
If everything in this deal were bought at full price, you would be paying $420. Thanks to the promotion, you’ll save $120, or 29%, off the total amount. With those numbers in mind, I grant this deal a rating of 3/5. I strongly suggest taking advantage of this sales event. The OnePlus Watch 3 is a solid alternative to other flagship wearables, such as Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 and the Pixel Watch 4. I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a smartwatch to help you achieve your fitness resolutions.
As per OnePlus, this deal will end on January 16.
