If 60 hours of battery life, Wear OS support, and a stainless steel build sound like a flagship smartwatch to you, the £120 price cut on the OnePlus Watch 3 will be hard to scroll past.
That combination of hardware and software now comes at £149 following a £120 reduction at the OnePlus store, bringing the Watch 3 down from its original £269 asking price.
The OnePlus Watch 3 just got a massive £120 price cut, bringing flagship power to a mid-range price
If 60 hours of battery life, full Wear OS support, and a stainless steel build sounds like a flagship smartwatch to you, then this £120 price cut on the OnePlus Watch 3 will be hard to ignore.
The battery life is the first thing worth understanding with the Watch 3, because 60 hours in standard smart mode is not a figure most watches at this price can match, and it means weekend trips away become entirely manageable without packing a charging cable.
When the battery does need topping up, ten minutes on charge returns up to 24 hours of use, which is the kind of fast charging behaviour that tends to make daily charging feel far less like a chore than it does on competing wearables.
The 1.32-inch AMOLED display runs at 466 x 466 pixels with a pixel density of 352PPI, which on a wrist-worn screen means text and watch faces remain sharp and legible even in direct sunlight without the muddy rendering that lower-density panels tend to produce.

Health tracking covers all-day heart rate monitoring, SpO2, sleep quality scoring with deep, light, and REM stage breakdown, respiratory rate, and a sleep snoring risk assessment, with the data feeding into Google Health Connect and Strava for anyone already using those platforms.

There are over 100 sports modes available, with professional tracking for running, swimming, skiing, cycling, and tennis among others, and the five-system GPS setup covering Beidou, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS gives outdoor route tracking a level of accuracy that cheaper watches rarely achieve reliably.
The watch runs Wear OS by Google alongside RTOS, which means Google Maps, Google Wallet, Google Assistant, and the Play Store are all accessible directly from the wrist, and it is worth noting the watch only supports Android 9.0 and above, with no iOS compatibility.
At £149, the OnePlus Watch 3 is a strong option for Android users who want a capable, long-lasting smartwatch without paying the premium that comparable hardware from larger brands would demand.
