OnePlus introduces Buds 4 and Watch 3 43mm
OnePlus had its summer launch event today where we saw the debut of the Nord 5 series but they weren’t the only new devices announced on stage. We also got the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm edition and the OnePlus Buds 4 wireless earbuds
OnePlus Watch 3 43mm
If the original 46mm OnePlus Watch 3 seemed too big, then the new 43mm version should be easier on the wrist. As the name implies, this is an identical smartwatch but with a 43mm casing. This means the display has shrunk to 1.32-inches (still 60Hz AMOLED) and the overall weight is down to 36.8 grams vs 49.7grams on the larger OnePlus Watch 3.
The watch features a stainless-steel casing alongside IP68 ingress protection and comes with a new set of 130mm-210mm straps. As for connectivity, you can only pick up the new watch in a single Bluetooth/WiFi-only trim.
