The OnePlus Watch 2 has stood out as one of the top Wear OS smartwatches this year. The OnePlus Watch 2R, offering similar features at a lower price, has also generated interest. Naturally, there’s anticipation for how OnePlus plans to build on these successes next year. It wants to go beyond with a new OnePlus Watch 3 Pro variant.
OnePlus Watch 3 Pro Coming Next Year
A recent report hints at the arrival of the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro. The name was discovered in Oppo’s OHealth app, which manages both Oppo and OnePlus smartwatches. Interestingly, Oppo is set to release its versions of these upcoming OnePlus models, dubbed the Oppo Watch X2 and Oppo Watch X2 Pro.
Leaks suggest the OnePlus Watch 3 will feature a rotating bezel, reminiscent of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Classic series. However, details about what the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro will offer over the standard version remain unclear.
It’s reasonable to assume the OnePlus Watch 3 might succeed the OnePlus Watch 2R, while the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro could follow the OnePlus Watch 2, possibly differing in materials used for the case. That said, if the R model remains, OnePlus could potentially release three smartwatches next year.
The fact that OnePlus is actively developing new smartwatch models indicates that the OnePlus Watch 2 and Watch 2R likely performed well enough to justify continuing the lineup. This is promising news for consumers seeking Wear OS smartwatches in 2025.
