In addition, there are reports on the web that the device will be launched in Q3 of 2022. It is likely to launch alongside the OnePlus Nord 3 smartphone. Mukul also revealed that the internal testing of the device has begun in India. 

As per rumors, the upcoming OnePlus Nord smartwatch will feature a round-shaped dial like the OnePlus Watch. Likewise, the watch will have a touch panel for easy operation. Furthermore, it will be equipped with a heart rate sensor, sleep & step tracker, and SpO2 monitor. Needless to say, the wearable will be fitted with standard smartwatch features like call alerts, music controls, and call and notification alerts. However, it is unlikely to feature the support for calling.
