A OnePlus Watch 3 Pro launch could be imminent – and it could be packed with features
- Hints of a OnePlus Watch 3 Pro have emerged
- New health features for the companion app have also been leaked
- The smartwatches could be launched very soon
In our OnePlus Watch 2 review we gave the wearable 4.5 out of 5 stars, so we’re really looking forward to what its successor has to offer – and new information hints at some possible health features, as well as the possibility of a Pro edition of the watch.
Starting with that 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 comes with OnePlus and Oppo watches.
The OnePlus Watch 3 Pro apparently has the model number WWE251 and differs from the standard OnePlus Watch 3. However, we do not know for the time being what the differences in terms of features or price may be.
We haven’t seen a Pro model in the OnePlus Watch range yet, but it makes sense that an additional option will be introduced – with Apple having the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Samsung having the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra.
New health features
On to the next fact, and for that we are once again indebted Android Authority before it. The OHealth app apparently has more to reveal than the presence of a second OnePlus Watch 3 model – specifically some notable health upgrades.
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 an option for measuring wrist temperature, which can help assess the overall health of your body. Other features in the code include a quick 60-second check tool and a new Health tab in the app that provides deeper and longer-term insights into your health based on the readings you get from your watch.
It’s not yet clear which watch models will get which features, but this shows that a substantial software upgrade is on the way, as well as the new hardware. Based on recent leaks, it appears that a launch of the OnePlus Watch 3 and the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro is imminent.
