OnePlus has announced its commitment to addressing user feedback regarding the Watch 3, unveiling some exciting updates for its fans. The latest smartwatch features a compact design at 46 mm and a weight of 80g with the strap (50g without), placing it in the mid-range category compared to competitors like the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Pixel Watch 3. Nevertheless, Dr. Leo Zhang, Head of R&D at the OnePlus Health Lab, acknowledged that the current model may feel heavy for users with smaller wrists, particularly women, and confirmed that a lighter version is already in development for release later this year.
