OnePlus’ latest smartwatch falls into the budget category but doesn’t skimp on features. It comes with a heart rate monitor and also an SpO2 monitor. All this for a smartwatch that costs less than Rs 5,000.
Let’s take a look at the features and specifications of the OnePlus Nord Watch, its availability and the launch offers offered by OnePlus.
OnePlus Nord watch: features and specifications
The OnePlus Nord Watch features a 1.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 368X448 pixels. The display has a peak brightness of 500 nits and a refresh rate of 60Hz.
The watch offers a lot of interesting features, although nothing new that you won’t find in other smartwatches at its price. Users get a heart rate monitor, an SpO2 monitor, and a monitor to track sleep cycles. Thanks to its accelerometer it is able to automatically detect training activities and supports 105 types of exercises.
The body of the watch is made of zinc alloy and plastic, while the strap is made of silicone. It is also IP68 rated for complete protection from dust and water.
The battery capacity is 230mAh. It can last a month on a charge in its low-power mode, while the duration of active use is 10 days as with OnePlus. The watch is compatible with iOS and Android. The watch does not have its own GPS, which means it can only collect positioning from the smartphone via Bluetooth 5.2.
