Last December OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had confirmed the brand’s first smartwatch will arrive in early 2021. Now the company has teased that it will likely launch the OnePlus Watch on March 23rd alongside the OnePlus 9 series. OnePlus hasn’t revealed the official name of its smartwatch neither any key specifications.
The short video clip shared by OnePlus on its Twitter handle includes comments from users asking about its smartwatch. The captions says ‘You asked for it. You’re getting it’ which indeed hints at the upcoming smartwatch’s launch. As per the teaser, we can expect a round display and a silicone textured band.
