Australia doesn’t often get OnePlus products for instance; the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro won’t get on sale there. So, we’re not confident you will be able to buy this wearable within the country.

Design

The OnePlus Watch may be a circular smartwatch, so OnePlus is eschewing the ‘squircle’ design of Fitbit, Apple, and Oppo, and it’s made from stainless steel.

Its bands are made from a material called fluoroelastomer, which is breathable and powerful. The smartwatch has two crowns. One among which is for the app menu and also the other presumably brings up another shortcut. The case itself is 46.4 × 46.4 ×10.9mm.

And this makes the OnePlus Watch fairly sizable compared to its competition. Including the strap, it weighs 76g.
