However, the listing means that there will be Bluetooth and GPS connectivity which are common in the smartwatch.

On the other hand, the smartwatch offer posted to Twitter by YouTuber reveals the final design. It has a black circular dial, a black belt and two buttons on the right side.

Recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau revealed that the smartwatch will not work on Google Wear OS. It will work on an RTOS based operating system. “When we built the OnePlus Watch, we tried to understand the pain points for someone wearing a smartwatch. We chose to go with the best RTOS-based wearable app because we believe it provides you with a smooth and reliable experience while providing good battery life, including some of the biggest problems we’ve been experiencing for people who want to buy a smartwatch, ”Lau wrote in a blogpost post.

Earlier leaks suggest that the OnePlus smartwatch will come with 4GB of storage. It will support WarpCharge technology and within 20 minutes of payment will provide a seven-day juice. There could be standard variations with LTE for the second wear of OnePlus. Also, it can serve as OnePlus TV remote control.
