The OnePlus Nord Watch is yet another solid entry into the budget smartwatch segment from OnePlus, which has been steadily carving out a niche for itself in the wearables realm. Combining style, functionality, and affordability, it’s a solid option for fitness enthusiasts and everyday users.
Slim with a touch of luxury
The OnePlus Nord Watch features a square-shaped dial with 1.78-inch AMOLED display with 60Hz of refresh rate, which promises bright colors as well as smooth viewing experience. Resolution (368 x 448 pixels) guarantees readable text and icons: easy to read messages, fitness stats or navigate the menu. The watch has a slim zinc alloy frame with soft silicone straps that make it feel light and durable on the wrist.
Styled in Midnight Black and Deep Blue, the Nord Watch not only performs but also looks the part. Whether you’re dressing for the gym or the office, it falls right in line.
Fitness and Health Tracking are Spot On
It comes with more than over 105 fitness modes including walking, running, yoga, cricket, and strength training. It also monitors your heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO2), stress levels, and sleep cycles. The OnePlus Nord Watch instantly syncs with the N Health app which is used to track the progress and set up various fitness goals.
DIAGNOSIS PRO: One of the benefits is that the watch can automatically detect some workouts, making it more convenient to use. There’s a menstrual cycle tracking feature for women too, so it’s a more inclusive fitness tool.
Battery Life That Keeps Going
The most enticing aspect of the OnePlus Nord Watch is its good battery life. It lasts up to 10 days of regular use and about 30 days on standby on a full charge. This is perfect for users who do not want to charge their wearables every night.
Charging with the magnetic charger takes about two hours to reach full capacity.
Daily Smart Features
The Nord Watch is all about fitness, but the features support an everyday lifestyle. You can also get call, SMS, and other app notifications, control music playback, and control the camera shutter remotely from your wrist. Although it lacks support for Bluetooth calling or voice assistants, the features present are well-optimized and run without a hitch.
Seamless Compatibility
Compatible with iOS and Android devices (although Android always has a somewhat deeper integration). The pairing is quick and easy as well, while the N Health app itself is very user-friendly and will be very easy to use for first-time smartwatch users.
