Most of you are considering the OnePlus Watch
The OnePlus watch is now official, roughly five years after it was first introduced by the company. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it marks the company’s first foray into the smartwatch segment. For a $ 159 smartwatch, it offers a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen, 4GB of storage, and a claimed two-week battery life. But does this feature set appeal to readers?
In a recent survey, we asked you if you’d like to buy the OnePlus watch. Here’s what you told us:
Will you buy the OnePlus watch?
OnePlus Watch poll results
In contrast to the timid reception of the OnePlus 9 series, the OnePlus watch apparently has quite a few fans. More than 1,400 votes were counted and only 24.5% of voters said they would not buy the OnePlus watch. This is a surprisingly big part when you consider that OnePlus is largely untested in this segment.
36% of the respondents were on the fence and answered the question “maybe”. Almost 40% were safer and gave us a resounding “yes”.
OnePlus does not compete against the Apple Watch or the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, but against budget offers from Amazfit and Xiaomi. OnePlus stands a good chance in this battle, but if the watch has something to do with the OnePlus band, you might want to look elsewhere for a new wearable.
Here’s what you told us:
- Cometer: Several flaws. Few apps, no NFC. It lacks some high-end smartwatch features like EPG and apps. The problem I have with this device is that it targets a niche within a niche. Sure, it is cheap compared to other options and offers decent battery life. But that’s the problem. There are many similar established alternatives.
- MOSSIE125: Looks really nice and can’t wait to do an in-depth comparison. If it stacks up I’ll probably get the limited edition because of the sapphire crystal.
- Tennis freak: No mention of whether or not this watch works with a phone. And if so, will it be fully functional on all platforms or will it have to be paired with OnePlus devices?
