The spec sheet confirms that the OnePlus Watch 4 comes with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 process and BES 2800 co-processor that preceded the OnePlus Watch 2 and Watch 3 – sadly, no upgrade to the Snapdragon Wear Elite here. The Watch 4 comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. There is also a 646mAh battery on board that promises three days of battery life under heavy usage and up to 16 days in power save mode.
Other specifications on the Watch 4 include Bluetooth 5.2, dual-band L1+L5 GNSS, 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, and NFC, but apparently no eSIM support. For security, we have 5ATM, IP69, IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certifications.
Perhaps the most surprising upgrade here is that the OnePlus Watch 4 comes with OxygenOS Watch 8 with Wear OS 6.0 (based on Android 16). The Wear OS 6 update for the OnePlus Watch 3 and Watch 2 has been promised for this year, so it’s a pleasant surprise to see it on the latest product. We hope that the older watches will also get the update soon, as all three generations of watches have the same processor. Gemini is also available out of the box.
OnePlus Watch 4 price and availability
The OnePlus Watch 4 will be available in two colors: Evergreen Titanium and Midnight Titanium. However, pricing and availability are unknown, so we’ll have to wait for OnePlus to make a full announcement on this soon.
Considering its price, the OnePlus Watch 4 looks similar to its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 3. The main changes are the slightly reduced weight and IP69 rating. Given that the rest of the watch remains the same, we’re expecting OnePlus to stick to the same $350 price tag as its predecessor.
