A week ago, OnePlus revealed that the OnePlus Nord smartwatch will be the company’s latest offering. Since then, the company has been gradually revealing details in an effort to keep the buzz around its forthcoming product alive.

The company has revealed that the most recent upgrade to the Nord smartwatch will have around 105 Sports modes. To help the user maintain their lifestyle, it will not only have the necessary modes, such as indoor and outdoor walking and running but also sports modes, such as cricket, yoga, etc.

The 1.78-inch AMOLED screen of the OnePlus Nord smartwatch has a 500 Nits peak brightness and a high resolution of 368448. The display will have a refresh rate of 60Hz. Additionally, the Nord Watch will offer more than 100 online changeable Watch Faces. Although the brand has not yet provided details regarding the watch’s launch date, it is anticipated to do so shortly.

The watch could debut around the end of September or the beginning of October if the current claims are to be believed. The Nord Watch, according to OnePlus, seeks to “make the hallmark OnePlus technology available to a broader set of the audience” and will “bolster OnePlus Nord’s position inside the wearables category.”

The Nord Watch has gained popularity online. It is anticipated that the next Nord-series smartwatch would feature Bluetooth 5.2 and the customizable N-Health app. Both iOS and Android devices should work with the smartwatch. It would have a side-mounted navigation button and a rectangular dial.

Given that it contains the functionality found in less expensive wearables, the smartwatch is anticipated to be less than Rs 5,000. In India, OnePlus currently offers a high-end watch for Rs 14,999, and it is getting set to introduce a brand-new model in the entry-level price range.

OnePlus isn’t new in the wearable technology market and already offers products like Nord Buds, and Nord Buds CE. With their slim in-ear design, they have a similar aesthetic to the first Apple AirPods.

The OnePlus Watch, the company’s first wristwatch, was introduced in India last year. The wristwatch has a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen, 1GB RAM, and 4GB of internal storage and is powered by a 402 mAh battery. The OnePlus Watch is optimized for Android 6.0 and higher and offers Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Among other sensors, it has a gyroscope sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, an optical heart rate sensor, and a blood oxygen sensor.

The wristwatch, which costs Rs. 13,499, includes over 110 fitness programs, an integrated GPS, speaker, and mic for calls. It is water and dust-resistant and has an IP68 rating. It appears like OnePlus is also developing the N Health app, a new companion software for the Nord Watch that will run on both iOS and Android. According to rumors, the smartwatch would come in two colors—blue and black—and have a battery life of up to ten days.

Oneplus is a Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer. It is fully owned by Oppo, which, like Vivo, Realme, and iQOO, is a division of BBK Electronics. The OnePlus Nord, the company’s first mid-range phone ever since OnePlus X in 2015, was introduced by OnePlus in 2020.
