OnePlus is getting back into the smartwatch game


OnePlus says it went back to the drawing board.

The company claims in an announcement that the new watch will have up to 100 hours of battery life and said it will come in black and silver colors. The watch had no third-party app support, no voice assistant, and in our testing, bad fitness tracking. OnePlus president Kinder Liu acknowledged its bad watch in the announcement, saying the company took a “reflective pause” afterward and that it’s now trying to “transform from ‘Flagship Killer’ to “Ecosystem builder.’” Given the shorter battery life, hopefully that means it’ll be much more of a, you know, smart watch.
