The OnePlus Watch 3, priced at $329.99, focuses on refinement rather than radical innovation, presenting itself as a solid alternative to Google and Samsung watches. Key enhancements include a brighter 2,200 nits OLED display and improved design with a titanium bezel, while retaining the similar overall aesthetic of its predecessor. The introduction of a rotating crown for screen navigation marks a welcome improvement. However, the lack of size options limits its appeal for users with smaller wrists, leaving users wanting more diversity in design options while overall enhancing usability with new health features.
I've had the $329.99 OnePlus Watch 3 for a few days, and so far, this isn't an Android watch that flips the script. Instead, it's a story about refinement (and playing a bit of catch-up), rather than pushing boundaries.
On the design front, the Watch 3 is quite similar to the OnePlus Watch 2, with a few key changes. The OLED display is a smidge larger and brighter at 2,200 nits, and the bezels are notably smaller.
My big design gripe is that the Watch 3 still only comes in a single 47mm size. It's not horrible, but I have smaller wrists, and the lug gaps are notable.
I'll forgive OnePlus this oversight now that there's a proper rotating crown. This time, you can actually use it to scroll through screens - a baffling omission from the last watch.
