Overview

OnePlus hasn’t formally announced its next smartwatch – the brand as a whole is in question right now – but the new OnePlus Watch 4 has just been posted to a global OnePlus website, revealing nearly every detail about the Wear OS watch.

The OnePlus Watch 4 has appeared a couple of times lately, including with some global packaging showing up earlier this month. With OnePlus looking increasingly likely to shut down its global operations, an actual global release has been a mystery—until now.

The OnePlus website has just posted the OnePlus Watch 4’s promo page in full. This appears on the generic “global” website rather than regional sites.

There’s no official announcement, no social‑media teasers, and essentially nothing you’d expect from a typical product launch.

Whatever is going on behind the scenes, the OnePlus Watch 4 at least looks like a solid setup. The Wear OS watch runs Wear OS 6 with “OxygenOS Watch 8” and offers the same battery life as its predecessor – 16 days in power‑saver mode, 5 days in “smart mode,” and 3 days for “heavy use.” The battery capacity is nearly identical at 632 mAh. Gemini is advertised here as well.

Design & Build

The biggest change this year is the physical hardware. The OnePlus Watch 4 features an all‑titanium design that uses a titanium alloy for the entire case. The previous Watch 3 used titanium only for the bezel, with the rest of the case made from stainless steel. As a result, the Watch 4 is lighter at 43 g (68 g with the strap) and measures 47.4 × 47.4 × 11.0 mm, making it a bit thinner.

Specifications

• Processor: Snapdragon W5
• Co‑processor: BES 2800 (enables switching between Wear OS and a low‑power RTOS)
• Display protection: Sapphire crystal over the display
• Memory: 2 GB RAM
• Storage: 32 GB internal
• Health sensors: Multiple sensors with a number of health certifications (notably lacking in the US)

Launch Uncertainty

It looks like a solid overall update, but the mystery remains around the actual launch. The listing provides no price and no release date. Given OnePlus is cutting staff and officially “evaluating” its global business, it’s unclear what will happen next.
