    As we wrap up our reviews of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, it’s time to turn out attention to the brands’ first ever smartwatch that you’ll be able to pre-order from tomorrow onwards. The OnePlus Watch looks like a normal watch until the 1.39-inch AMOLED display is activated and sports 2-week battery life, 5ATM, IP68 water-resistance, built-in GPS and heart-rate sensors, and a price tag of $159*/£149.

    Sporting a circular design with 2.5D curved glass and a subtle pattern on the display bezel that sits on the stainless steel case, the OnePlus Watch can be easily customized with more than 50 watch faces, with third-party straps thanks to the universal 46mm band size.

    Able to make and answer calls as well as reply to messages via a selection of canned responses, the OnePlus Watch will let you stay connected in a not-so-obvious way. The device has a 2-week battery life and Warp Charge that achieves enough charge for an entire day in just five minutes and a week’s usage in ten minutes, which is pretty impressive.

    With fitness and activity features such as 5ATM + IP68 water and dust resistance and 110+ workout types, the OnePlus Watch can also track metrics including your pulse, distance, calories, speed monitoring and SWOLF efficiency for swimmers. Its built-in GPS meanwhile tracks all your activity accurately, even when the phone is not next to you. It also offers blood oxygen saturation monitoring, stress detection, breathing training, rapid heart rate alerts and sedentary reminders, all easily manageable on the OnePlus Health app.

    You can pre-order the OnePlus Watch in the UK for £149, while in the US you can claim a $20 coupon that will reduce the price from $159 to $139 by heading over to the OnePlus site before pre-orders go live tomorrow.
