- Hints of a OnePlus Watch 3 Pro have emerged
- New health features have also been leaked for the companion app
- Smart watches could be launched very soon
In our review of the OnePlus Watch 2 we gave the wearable 4.5 stars out of 5, so we’re excited to see what its successor has to offer, and new information suggests some potential health features, as well as the possibility of a Pro edition of the watch.
Starting with the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro rumor, it comes from the team at Android Authority: references to a more premium version of the wearable are hidden in the OHealth phone app that accompanies the OnePlus and Oppo watches.
The OnePlus Watch 3 Pro apparently has the model number WWE251 and is different from the standard OnePlus Watch 3. However, at the moment, we don’t know what the differences could be in terms of features or price.
We haven’t seen a Pro model in the OnePlus Watch series so far, but it makes sense that an additional option would be introduced since Apple has the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Samsung has the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra.
New health features
Let’s move on to the next fact, and once again we are indebted to Android Authority for it. The OHealth app has more to reveal besides the presence of a second OnePlus Watch 3 model apparently, specifically, some notable health improvements.
Code currently hidden in the Android app reveals ECG (electrocardiogram) functionality, with the ability to detect conditions such as unusually high or low heart rate, atrial fibrillation, and PVCs (premature ventricular contractions).
There is also a wrist temperature reading option, which can help assess your body’s overall health. Other features spotted in the code include a quick ’60-second checkup’ tool and a new Health tab in the app that provides deeper, longer-term insights into your health based on the readings you get from your watch.
It’s still unclear which watch models might have which features, but this shows that a substantial software update is on the way, as well as new hardware. Based on recent leaks, it seems that the launch of OnePlus Watch 3 and OnePlus Watch 3 Pro could be imminent.
