OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to be released on January 7, 2025, coinciding with the launch of the OnePlus 13 in the global market alongside the OnePlus 13R.
The Internet has been buzzing with speculations about the forthcoming release, and recent claims suggested that the smartwatch is likely to feature a rotating crown, a new addition to its design.
Earlier reports also suggested the rumoured OnePlus Watch 3 prototype includes this rotating crown.
Moreover, some credible tipsters suggested that the OnePlus Watch 3 will be offered in two colour options and will feature a heart rate sensor and an electrocardiogram (ECG).
The inclusion of ECG functionality marks a key feature for fitness enthusiasts, as it is already available in several regions.
