OnePlus has a habit of building hype around its launches. Big announcements, countdown pages, everything. So it’s a bit strange that the OnePlus Watch 4 just appeared quietly But OnePlus official global website With a full spec sheet, no press release, no event, and no pricing or release date attached to it.
The Watch 4 runs on the Snapdragon W5 and BES2800 dual-engine setup, the same architecture that made the OnePlus Watch 3 such a strong performer in the battery department. OnePlus claims up to five days in smart mode and up to 16 days in power saver mode. The display is a 1.5-inch LTPO OLED with 466 x 466 resolution, now reaching 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The Watch 4 also boosts durability with an IP69 rating added on top of the IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certification carried over from its predecessor.
what actually changed
The design sticks with the same circular titanium case that comes in the Midnight Titanium and Evergreen Titanium. The weight of the Watch 4 has been reduced slightly, it is 43 grams and 11 mm thick. According to OnePlus, it is 13% lighter and 6% thinner than the Watch 3. Health monitoring covers the usual bases: ECG, heart rate, SpO2, wrist temperature, and sleep tracking. There’s also a new 60-second health check-in feature that pulls together a snapshot of your vitals in one tap. Gemini is also included, which can be accessed with a “Hey Google” prompt.
Aside from the slimmer build and brighter display, there’s not much here that Watch 3 owners haven’t already seen. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, and it’s unclear when the Watch 4 will actually go on sale or which markets it will reach. OnePlus has been restructuring its global business recently, so a quieter rollout isn’t entirely surprising. However, a release date would have been nice.
