I've worn the smaller OnePlus Watch 3 43mm for weeks. Here's why it's better and worse than the original


The OnePlus Watch 3 43mm offers all the power of Wear OS in a smaller package, but it's not without its disadvantages.

The offset crown means you won't accidentally press the button while working out or leaning on something, a problem that happens all the time for me on the Pixel Watch 3 unless I turn it backward. That's especially true when using battery saver mode, which simplifies the watch by using an entirely separate operating system, all without sacrificing health or GPS tracking features. Two-day battery life, ultra-fast charging, and excellent health tracking features make this an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a great Wear OS watch.
