The OnePlus Nord Watch has appeared, and it looks a lot like the Apple Watch

OnePlus ventured into the smartwatch space with the launch of the OnePlus Watch in April last year. The watch wasn’t optimally smart, as instead of Google’s Wear OS, it ran OnePlus’ own custom operating system based on RTOS. Now, as per some new leaks making the rounds, another wearable from OnePlus running its custom OS is in the works. And this time, it’ll be launched under the Nord lineup.

Dubbed the “OnePlus Nord Watch, “the wearable is expected to be priced cheaper than the OnePlus Watch. A few leaked screenshots of the N Health App – supposedly the watch’s dedicated app for smartphones – show us a glimpse of what the smartwatch would look like. Unlike the OnePlus Watch, which had a round dial, the Nord Watch will get a rectangular Apple Watch-esque design with a crown on the right side.

The screenshots reveal some information about the watch, like the inclusion of a step counter feature and workout modes for outdoor cycling and outdoor walking. An image also shows six watch faces of the smartwatch, while more of them would be accessible from its dedicated app. The ability to set photos as watch faces is there as well.

Apart from this, the leak claims that the watch will come equipped with a SpO2 sensor, along with sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring. There isn’t any official announcement from OnePlus yet, but that might change in the upcoming days.

What’ll be really interesting to see is whether or not the OnePlus Nord Watch is destined for North America. While a few Nord smartphones and the OnePlus Nord Buds have appeared in the U.S., the Nord brand is much more prominent in other markets around the world. Whether or not this also applies to the OnePlus Nord Watch remains to be seen.

OnePlus has just confirmed that its next flagship arrives on October 31 in China. Over the past few days, the phone has appeared in unceremonious leaks, was spotted at an event in China, and appeared in teaser silhouettes. The wait for a better look, however, is finally over.

The preorder page for OnePlus’ upcoming phone has gone live on Oppo Shop in China, and with it, we now have a whole bunch of official images. It’s a familiar design, if you ask me, but it still stands out with a few neat changes.

I wore the titanium and aluminum Apple Watch Series 10. This is the one I would buy
A person wearing the titanium Apple Watch Series 10.

For the last few weeks, I’ve worn the latest Apple Watch Series 10 in titanium to find out if it’s the first smartwatch to take me away from only wanting to wear my various quartz and mechanical watches. I wanted to find out if paying more for the titanium version would help it give me that same warm feeling, like meeting up with a good old friend, I get when I put on one of my other favorite watches.

I thought I had the answer quickly, but then things were complicated when the aluminum Series 10 arrived for me to try. It changed my opinion, but was it enough to make me want to return the titanium smartwatch?
