The OnePlus Watch 3 has finally launched, and it has a lot of features and benefits—especially to health-conscious users. Whether you’re a serious runner, gym fanatic, or simply a person trying to adopt a better lifestyle, the OnePlus Watch 3 has something for you.
This article will look at the top 5 features of the OnePlus Watch 3 that every health enthusiast will want to know about. The following features are what make this watch special and help you stay true to your health goals over time.
1. Advanced Heart Rate Monitoring That’s Always On
If you are someone who tracks their workouts or heart, this is one feature you will appreciate. The OnePlus Watch 3 has a new heart rate sensor, which is improved. The sensor is more accurate. It monitors all day (so you can track heart rate during the course of the day), and when you are working out, the heart rate is shown to you in real time. Whether you are engaging in cardio, yoga, strength training, or other, your heart rate is always being monitored live.
This provides you an understanding of how hard you are working. If your heart is below the target zone, you can push more. If your heart is above your target zone, you know it is time to slow down. It will also alert you if you experience a heated heart rate or sudden drop in heart rate (which could be advantageous for a person with a health problem).
Ultimately, the best of all features—you can see a full report of your heart activity in the app at the end of every day. The OnePlus Watch 3 is your full-time health companion on your wrist.
2. Sleep Tracking That Helps You Rest Better
Sleep is just as important as food and exercise. Nutrition has to be paired with good sleep, and the OnePlus Watch 3 takes sleep seriously. Their sleep tracking feature has vastly improved from previous versions. It does not just track how many hours of sleep you had but also how well you slept.
The watch even tracks deep sleep, light sleep, and REM stages in your sleeping cycle. It also tracks how often you are waking up at night (even if you don’t remember). By looking at your sleep trends for a week or month, you could see what might be helping or hurting your sleep.
They even have a sleep breathing check. It tracks if you breathe generally smooth throughout your nightly sleep. If it is tracking something that is not quite typical, it flags it in the app. This is good for people who are left wondering if they snore at night or if they have a tendency to stop breathing for short intervals.
Having better sleep data allows you to make little changes to your sleep—such as going to bed early or cutting off caffeine in the afternoon/evening—to maximize your nightly sleep.
3. Stress Monitoring with Real-Time Breathing Tips
Life can be hectic. With work and family and all the other daily hustle and bustle, stress can slip into the back of your mind. Your body, though, doesn’t forget. The OnePlus Watch 3 allows you to stay connected with your mental wellness with real-time stress monitoring.
It uses small fluctuations in your heartbeat and skin temperature to make an educated guess about your stress level. And if the watch determines that you’re stressed, it will gently remind you to take a break. You get guided breathing exercises right on the screen.
These brief exercises allow you to slow your breath and refocus your mind. They can take as little as a few minutes but truly help you at the beginning of the day.
You can also track your stress levels in the app. You will be able to see your stress levels each day. If you start to notice that each Monday morning your stress levels seem to rise, you will be able to plan a less stressful start to your week. This increased awareness allows people to address their health in a more balanced way.
If you’re a health nut, it is important to manage your stress levels just as much as tracking the number of steps you take. This feature makes it easy!
4. Smarter Fitness Tracking Across 100+ Activities
A health-centric smartwatch should do more than just count steps. The OnePlus Watch 3 achieves this. The watch uses over 100 fitness-tracking modes, including the typical walking, running, cycling, and swimming modes, but also includes sports such as badminton and basketball.
Whatever you want to do, the watch will track your movement, duration, heart rate, and calories burned. The watch will auto-detect some exercises so you don’t even have to start the timer.
The watch has GPS built-in. It means you can go for a run or ride without your phone. Your route is tracked on the watch and then synced to the app afterward. For runners and hikers of the world, that’s a huge win.
The data on your workouts is simplified and illustrated with both graphs and numbers. You don’t need to be a fitness guru to understand where you’re at in your fitness journey. You just open the app, look at all your progress, and figure out your next workout.
The OnePlus Watch 3 is a great partner for the serious fitness enthusiast or someone just beginning their fitness journey—to help them keep track of every part of their fitness journey.
5. Long Battery Life That Keeps You Going
You’ve no doubt experienced the frustration of a smartwatch dying in the middle of the day—especially when tracking your workouts or your sleep. The OnePlus Watch 3 boasts an incredible battery life of up to 14 days with regular use on a single charge. Even with heavy use, you should still see at least 7 days of battery life.
In practical terms, this means you can track your health for days on end without endlessly recharging the watch. And when you do charge it, the watch is quick to fill up—10 minutes to 15 minutes of charging gives you enough battery life for a couple of days.
Whether you’re traveling, working, or just busy living your life, you won’t have to worry about your watch dying when you need it most.
This level of battery backup is especially important for people who wear the watch to sleep. As you won’t be charging it overnight, if you do have a long battery life, you can track your sleep in real time, every night.
With the OnePlus Watch 3, your health data will always be accessible to you—day or night, rain or shine.
