It has been a couple of years since OnePlus and Oppo transitioned from being sister companies to merging. Since that time, numerous products from both brands have been rebranded by the other. This pattern will persist with the Oppo Watch X2 Mini, which has now been confirmed to debut as the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm.
Confirmed Release
When the Oppo Watch X2 Mini was first revealed in March, we thought it might be launched as a smaller version of the OnePlus Watch 3, considering the OnePlus Watch 3 is basically a rebranded Oppo Watch X2. After a wait of three months, we now have official confirmation that our assumption was indeed right.
Upcoming Launch Event
OnePlus has declared it will present a new smartwatch known as the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm on July 8 at its Summer Launch Event. As the name indicates, this new smartwatch is a more compact variant of the OnePlus Watch 3 (which is available on Amazon.de for €329) that features a 47mm case.
The promotional material for the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm reveals that it will come with a silver bezel and off-white textured silicone straps. This coloration matches the Moonlight Silver version of the Oppo Watch X2 Mini. However, it is still unclear whether this will be the only color option available in global markets.
Features and Pricing
The OnePlus Watch 3 43mm is being promoted not just as a smaller edition of the OnePlus Watch 3, but also as a lighter and slimmer model that is easy to wear throughout the day. Nonetheless, this smaller and thinner design will bring its own challenges, particularly a reduced battery life based on the specs of the Oppo Watch X2 Mini.
Despite this, the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm is expected to be priced lower than its larger counterpart when it is released on July 8 in Europe, the UK, India, and North America.
