The Nord Watch packs a 1.78-inch AMOLED display. The company’s first product, the OnePlus Watch, wasn’t excellent. It got a lot of bad reviews because the software was hard to use and didn’t track steps correctly. After that, the company owned by BBK never even tried to get into the smartwatch market, but it didn’t give up on it either.
OnePlus did release a fitness band in India, but it wasn’t as good as other products on the market that did the same thing. Now, 1.5 years after the first Watch came out, the company has released the OnePlus Nord Watch, its second smartwatch and first wearable under the Nord brand.
The wearable device has a rectangular AMOLED display that is 1.78 inches and has a rated brightness of 500 nits. It also has a refresh rate of 60 hertz. OnePlus asserts that its chassis, which has an IP68 certification, is waterproof and weatherproof. The straps are constructed of materials that let air pass through; a feature carried over from the OnePlus Watch.
The Watch includes a 3-axis accelerometer, a heart-rate scanner, and a SpO2 sensor to monitor the wearer’s health. The data acquired by the wearable is used to display your stress levels and to track your sleep cycle in addition to the standard metrics such as the number of steps you take and the number of calories you burn.
In addition, it is capable of tracking over 105 different types of exercises and physical activities, such as yoga and cricket. Runs and walks are automatically recognized as workouts, but you must activate the feature first for other types of exercise to be tracked.
Using the N Health companion app and Bluetooth 5.2, the Nord Watch may establish a connection with your phone. Using the app, you will have the ability to access all of the data that has been collected and manage your health better. Additionally, it lets you personalize the notifications appearing on the wearable device.

Because it has a 230mAh battery, the OnePlus Nord Watch has a battery life that OnePlus claims can last for up to 10 days on a single charge or up to 30 days in standby mode. The fact that the Watch does not run Wear OS but instead has RTOS is one of the reasons why it has such excellent battery life.
Even if you have access to a wide variety of watch faces, you cannot download and utilize any third-party applications on this Watch. Although OnePlus claims that there are more than one hundred watch faces, you may only access any five styles straight from the wearable anytime. You must use the companion app on your mobile device for the remaining aspects.
The OnePlus Nord Watch is offered in two different color options: Midnight Black and Deep Blue. Phones running Android 6.0 or later, as well as iPhones running iOS 11 or later, can use it. The OnePlus Nord Watch is being introduced exclusively in India, in contrast to the company’s original smartwatch, which was sold in the United States.
The Nord Watch can be purchased for Rs 5,000 (about $68 at the current exchange rate). Because the OnePlus Watch was met with such a hostile reception, it is unlikely that the availability of the Nord Watch will expand outside of the country.
