In a OnePlus Health Lab revealed that the company is currently developing a small-sized OnePlus Watch 3. The currently available variant's case measures 46mm and the watch itself weighs approximately 80g.
As per the official, this means that the OnePlus Watch 3 “remains heavy for a small wrist and that this typically affects women”, emphasising that they will “fix that this year”. Further, it is also expected to offer LTE , a feature that is missing from the flagship watch. Zhang stated that the company offers an LTE variant in China but not in the global markets as it needs to “work with carriers so s can put in an eSIM and have a data plan.”
While details remain scarce, the purported smartwatch may be introduced as the OnePlus Watch 3R, building upon the OnePlus Watch 2R from last year which had a weight advantage courtesy of a different build material. At 59g, the smartwatch also weighs significantly less than its flagship counterpart despite offering almost similar features. The purported smaller-sized OnePlus Watch 3 is also likely to follow in similar footsteps.
