Reviewing the OnePlus Watch 3, an upgraded version of the best Wear OS smartwatch (I reckon, at least) for 2025. With a boost to the battery capacity, rotating crown and other tweaks, the OnePlus Watch 3 is my favourite wrist rocket now. Check out my reviews of the other greatest smartwatches right now for alternatives!
UPDATE: In our briefing we were told a UK price of £299. This is actually now £319, apologies for the last minute change.
While the Pixel Watch 3 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 struggle to make it through a day or two, the brilliant OnePlus Watch 3 can survive four full days with all features active. That's thanks to the dual chipset design, LTPO display and other great features. Wear OS is handled by Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5, while basic tasks including health tracking use a low-powered BES chip.
Wear OS is of course as user friendly as always, and less buggy now on the OnePlus Watch 3 at launch. Performance is excellent and the massive OLED display is a stunner, but this smartwatch certainly isn't designed for smaller wrists.
I've reviewed loads of OnePlus Watch 3 rivals right here on Tech Spurt, Pixel Watch 3 and Samsung's Galaxy Watch 7 included. Hit subscribe for more smartwatch shenanigans in 2025!
