Almost a year after the collapse of the OnePlus Watch, we thought it would make sense to review it, even through a new update company that developed the software and made the smartwatch mature enough to shut down the critics it received on day one. A tangible and versatile device with enough potential to combine the various features of this device, it has a product to target even considering its very attractive price. Let’s find one in this complete review.

The sales box is wide open with red color access but also for the optimal packaging that OnePlus puts into all of its products. In addition to the OnePlus Watch, it charges a 22mm belt and Warp Charge magnetic base and guides made of hypoallergenic silicone (fluoride elastomer). Purtroppo has a plastic to protect the screen, but it’s hard to find in competing products, so I don’t see it as a preferred point.

On an aesthetic level, the company has created a hub that delivers a product with a premium feel at the end of the first contact. It is made of a stainless steel case, which immediately conveys a sense of solidity and resistance over time to the watch, and then we can find a lower impact second, while the daughter of the OnePlus logo placed on the upper impact is placed in the destro bezel of the case. We want some functionality to be programmatic, considering that the base is set up for the demand to watch sports activities. The top stroke also serves to increase/decrease the screen, enter the system menus or return home.

The highlight, however, is the gorgeous 1.39-inch AMOLED circular display with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels, protected by a sapphire vest, surrounded by a series of circular silkscreens that do not enhance the premium look and do not catalyze screen attenuation. self. It offers a very fast, optimal brightness regulation sensor for recognizing lighting conditions, which we recommend leaving the automation active. The definition of the screen provides better visibility even outdoors in direct sun, and the Always On Display, so I noticed that in this case the visibility is significantly reduced even in the shade. In particular, AOD provides a function that only serves to increase energy consumption, since in the case of OnePlus Watch it only allows the Home screen to be displayed, even sports tracking is activated, which allows us to increase the screen by gesturing. .polso.

As mentioned at the beginning of the review, OnePlus Watch received mature and stable software almost a year later, making it more complete to use every day without any lag. Let’s remember that this is the first real smartwatch from the Chinese brand, and it is understandable that there are some loopholes in general, such as NFC. Actually in the Chinese version the sensor is present and working but in the global version NFC has become invisible so we have no choice but to use it on Google Pay and/or similar platforms.

The smartwatch interfaces with the smartphone via Bluetooth as part of the OnePlus Health app, available only for Android users, which allows you to set up certain functions such as receiving notifications to identify more or less apps. We can actually read notifications on the OnePlus Watch’s screen, emit any known text content, while also responding to those from the Whatsapp app, but only with preconfigured replies. Not to mention that the brand could do better, allowing you to customize the response or increase the number of apps it responds to, but we trust future updates will fix this issue.

Relying on the most suitable speaker and microphone, the possibility of receiving the alarm and calling via the alarm, monitoring the environment and deciding to initiate or answer directly will give a “call” experience almost unmatched to that of a smartphone. For aliases we can certainly import from the companion app, quick contacts or actually aliases using the numeric keypad.

In fact, the speaker does not allow you to listen to music from the orchestra, which actually allows you to record musical instruments with 4 GB of internal memory (not all are available). For the music or the commander of the alarm from the smartphone or, leaving this final and independent result at home, you can use the Bluetooth headset to manage the contents of the internal memory with a lot of recognition of the keys of the TWS cuff. . An ideal solution for doing sports without carrying the smartphone with you (you can even change the music track to a long pitch with no clarity).

The software is generally proprietary type and this does not allow the possibility of installing third party apps except for the fact that those integrated with OnePlus cover a large portion of users which makes registration less messy. The OnePlus Watch is a midpoint between a simple smartwatch and a sports watch, offering fast GPS (GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU) at the hardware level, confirming the independence of carrying the smartphone indoors for training sessions. There are 110 physical activities that can be done and monitored, including acetic acid with IP68 and 5 ATM certification. For activities such as walking, cycling and running, OnePlus Watch has automatic information acquisition, you should be able to do this activity effectively and record the data of the sessions. Complexly, the data collected is more complete, but more reliable, with the lowest cost of more professional and cost-effective products. Thus, contamination of the passages and monitoring of the cardiac frequency is possible, but in this case we can also have traces of the SpO2 value thanks to a special sensor (continuous monitoring only in the sound phase).

The software level does not fail in functions such as recording daily activities, exercise recording, stress, breathing relaxation, weather, timer, timer, torch, barometer, bus, remote control of smartphone camera, but also provides interesting function. You can view the path of the smartphone navigator on the screen of the smart watch. With all the functions and all the apps, but one might think that our OnePlus Watch comes from it in terms of autonomy, and even in this section the wearable comes with active app notifications, GPS and at least 10 days silently. auto lights, sports activity. Also, the Warp Charge charging system can reach 50% of the hour in just 13 minutes, while only 45 can be used per full charge.
