I tested OnePlus Watch 3 and won the battery life

I was testing $ 330 from OnePlus Watch 3 for 48 hours and found it, so far, strength Smart watch Wrapped in elegant design, reduced. OnePlus aims to compete with its competitors by Android by offering a strong set of health and fitness features, and the promise to detonate them all with a battery life for five days below natural Used.

After I heard similar promises about smart watch batteries before, I was skeptical. Companies often include the battery life, only for a micro-printing burial that requires energy saving mode-stripping “smart” features and converting the watch to more than a glorious digital hour. I was surprised by the pleasure that the default settings at 3 hour include the full use of all its features, always missing the screen, which I usually activate.

The only change I made was to switch the face of the analog style for the other that showed the battery life at a glance, along with the exercise shortcuts, the weather followed and the fitness. A big mistake. It turned out, I chose one of the worst criminals – the third level of three on the OS OS battery drain scale.

During my first two days with 3 o’clock, I used it to receive text notifications and e -mail, and track outdoors for an hour with an hour with a global GPS (GPS Follow two nights of sleep. As a result, a 3 to 50 % battery decreased during the first 48 hours.

Although it does not completely hit the promised five days, I still have to get four full days of the battery life from 3 o’clock on one charge – impressive, taking into account more Android smart watch A struggle for the three past. For my full review, I will turn to the face of an hour below the energy to see if I can push it to the five -day one.

There is a lot to empty it with 3 o’clock, and until now, I’m surprised.

The battery life takes the lead center

OnePlus’s demand for fame in the beginning was to provide high -quality devices at more affordable prices than sophisticated competitors such as Samsung and Google. The fourth hour of the Chinese company aims to get rid of some of this tradition.

Unlike origin 160 $ ​​OnePlus Watch And the past year $ 180 hours 2RWhose low prices were the main call, give an hour a priority for its distinct attractiveness on a low price. OnePlus wants Watch 3 a distinctive major device, which puts it in direct competition with other OS Watch devices like Watch Google Pixel 3 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. What can distinguish it, if it is delivered, is the battery life.

OnePlus claims that the 3 hour can last five days on its default settings. This is thanks to a large battery of 631 mAh and a dual -range system system that uses the Snapdragon W5 processor to focus on running the use of applications, while the BES2800 MCU efficiency chip is dealing with low -energy background tasks.

In my first two days, I liked the battery life at 3, although I was choosing to use the face of the battery thirst. It should be noted that Watch 3 has a high -power saving mode, which can last OnePlus for up to 16 days for full charge.

Design and interface promotions

OnePlus Watch 3 maintains the elegant stainless steel design of its predecessor, with some prominent upgrades. It contains a roar crown with an easy-to-jump tissue and the titanium frame surrounds the screen-it reminds us of the roller edges on the early Samsung hours that I loved. This is thinner and remains in place, but I love how to raise the design, which makes it look like a giant circular circular circular screen tied to my wrist. The screen is bright and easy to see even in direct sunlight. The watch comes with silver or black, with comfortable rubber belts to wear throughout the day and night.

The 3 o’clock operates OS 5, with additional design and features, such as the Ohealth app, which you will need to download on your phone to access a full set of health tracking features.

Watch 3 facade feels a little slow, with a simple delay in response time. It is difficult to know if this is the problem of wearing the operating system or if the actual watch is not completely smooth – although it has improved as it has become more familiar with buttons and gestures. The interface is not particularly intuitive – – require some settings, such as exercise views, drilling through the menus (known problem in the operating system). I also faced a problem in preparing my account in the Ohealth app and its synchronization with my Google Health data. This may be due to the use of a developed version of the application, but it is exhausting.

Access to all my health data through the Ohealth app was not very bad, thanks to the visual and easy interface for use.

Health and fitness features

OnePlus investment in health and wellness is clear at this watch. In addition to the basics such as heart rate and calories, it measures more accurate health standards, such as cardiovascular health, Spo2, wrist and general well -being (which includes emotional and tension levels), but not without some warnings. Nothing of these features Approved by the Food and Drug AdministrationThis means that it does not aim to use it as medical degrees. In addition, the ECG feature is not available in the United States or Canada. 3 o’clock also lacks menstruation – supervision, in my opinion – especially since monitoring the wrist temperature, which is now standard for its main competitors, can be very useful for tracking ovulation.

The 33th hour does not show a 60 -second health access, a feature that checks all of your vital cases in one spot by pressing your finger on the bottom button to watch. The first health arrival registration was related to a red exclamation sign and presented a mark with the word “abnormal” next to it. When making more inspection, it turns out that all my vital cases were in the range, but it was the degree of my sleep that tended the results. I will admit, my sleep habits are not great, and this is partly due to my one -year -old daughter, but I claim at least worth the degree of traffic.

With regard to fitness, the OnePlus 3 clock cover all the basics, with more than 100 different sporty shapes, six of which are automatically discovered: running, walking, rowing, oval machine, biking and swimming. It also provides a “professional” position of 11 sport that maintains signs of a more accurate measurement tab related to that sport. For contestants, it tracks a balance between him and the foot balance, while tennis players measure the speed of swing and stroke. Although it may be mostly exaggerated, as a hostility recently learned how to take advantage of the heart rate areas to intensify TrainingI am excited to clarify these additional measures.

Another main feature for outdoor sports lovers is a dual -frequency GPS tracking system, which can accurately claim OnePlus even in difficult environments, such as crowded cities surrounded by high height. I live in a completely different environment, and sheep more than skyscrapers, so I couldn’t fully test this claim. I completely put me on my usual path through oak trees and chrome farms.

With the IP69 classification, OnePlus Watch 3 is waterproof up to 50 meters.

Everything else

I plan to dive deeper during the next few days and test some other features in Watch 3 for my full review. But at the present time, if the battery life is at the highest list of your wishes for a smart hour, because it is the Smartwatch Android game that is definitely worth considering.

OnePlus Watch 3 for plumbing is now available through the OnePlus site on the web, with an official release date on February 25.
