OnePlus Watch 43mm. <\/p>\n

OnePlus <\/p>\n

OnePlus has announced its next smartwatch, the OnePlus<\/a> Watch Lite. While most of the finer details are still unknown, the company has said when it will get the full unveil. <\/p>\n

The OnePlus Watch Lite will get its proper moment under the spotlight on December 17, when it will launch alongside the OnePlus 15R phone and OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet. <\/p>\n

What is known so far? OnePlus says the Watch Lite will have \u201cflagship-level health and fitness features\u201d despite bearing the Lite name, and is intended to land at an \u201ceven more accessible price point.\u201d<\/p>\n

OnePlus\u2019s most recent watch is the 43mm of the OnePlus Watch 3<\/a>, announced in July. It sells for $299.99 and is a Wear OS watch, not a longer-lasting but more basic fitness tracker. <\/p>\n

The Watch 3 series also offers some obvious places OnePlus can cut down the spec to reach a more approachable price. First up, the OnePlus Watch 3 has a steel casing, where other models use plastic or aluminium to cut down on costs. It made this concession in the last-generation OnePlus 2<\/a> family \u2014 a downgrade from steel to aluminium with the OnePlus 2R. <\/p>\n

OnePlus has already confirmed the Watch Lite will be sold in a single \u201cSilver Steel\u201d style, though, suggesting steel is here to stay. <\/p>\n

The company could also use a cheaper strap than the fluoroelastomer one that ships with the Watch 3 series. <\/p>\n

Perhaps the clearest way to make the Oneplus Watch Lite cheaper would be to employ a fitness tracker OS rather than Google Wear OS, as Amazfit did with the Active 2. This would in itself be potentially a pricey project for OnePlus, though, as this would require additional software development given the brand\u2019s current watches use Wear OS. <\/p>\n

Xiaomi has already set an impressive bar in this area, having released the Xiaomi Watch 2 and Watch 2 Pro in 2024, the former of which is available for around $174.99. <\/p>\n

OnePlus\u2019s current key boasting point for the Watch 3 series is in battery life. The original 46.6mm Watch 3 is rated for up to five days of use between charges, although this dropped down to a more familiar 60 hours in the smaller, lighter 43mm Watch 3.<\/p>\n

The OnePlus Watch Lite was teased a week ago, with a silhouette-style teaser image that suggests it will have a design similar to the Oppo Watch S, a super-slim 8.9mm thick wearable that runs a custom software rather than Google\u2019s Wear OS. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OnePlus Watch 43mm.
