OnePlus Nord watch Review: Design
The design of OnePlus Nord watch is slightly different. There is no watch of this design in the market but the quality of the strap does not look good. The strap of OnePlus Nord watch is made of silicone but not premium. At first glance, the straps look like plastic. The straps move 360 degrees. The body is made of zinc alloy and the buckle is made of stainless steel.

The style of the strap is of old design. There is a button on the right which is for navigation. The overall weight of the watch with the strap is 52.4 grams. In such a situation, it cannot be called a light watch. It has got a rating of IP68 for water resistant. Overall, the design of OnePlus Nord watch is not the best but it will definitely be said to be fine.
OnePlus Nord watch Review: DisplayOnePlus Nord watch has a 1.78-inch AMOLED display, which is a plus point and it will attract users. The refresh rate of the display is 60Hz and the resolution is 368x448 pixels. With the display is 500 nits and there is no problem in sunlight. The colors of the display are good but if some are too saturated, then it stings in the eyes. We did not data-face any problem in scrolling as well. More than 100 watch data-faces are also available through the N health app.
OnePlus Nord watch Review: PerformanceRealtime OS (RTOS) is available in OnePlus Nord Watch. The display is big enough so viewing content is not a problem. With this, third party apps are not available in bulk. Some settings can be changed by swapping from top to bottom. The crown is rotated but it does not work.

The interdata-face of the watch is simple. It ranges from sleep tracking to blood oxygen tracking. It also has a period tracker. During the review, OnePlus Nord watch gave us the report of heart rate and blood oxygen to a great extent.

Compared to the Galaxy watch 5, the OnePlus Nord watch reported a blood oxygen level of 96%, while the Galaxy watch 5 scored 94%. The step counter is a bit slow but accurate. The watch has GPS inbuilt which gives accurate information. It also tracks GPS exercises.

The company needs to make many changes in N Health. The app does not allow outdoor cycling even after taking permission from location and physical activity. The permission popup appears again and again. Apart from this, even after having inbuilt GPS in this watch, this watch does not allow outdoor cycling without connecting to the smartphone.

OnePlus Nord watch Review: Battery Life
The battery life of OnePlus Nord watch is amazing. It has a 230mAh battery which gave us 8 days of backup during the review, which will be called the best battery life.


Overall, this watch of OnePlus competes with redmi watch 2 Lite and Realme watch 3 Pro. There is very little difference between Realme watch 3 Pro and OnePlus Nord Watch. In the Realme watch 3 Pro that comes at the same price, you get the facility of calling, which is not in the OnePlus Nord Watch. This watch of OnePlus is good in terms of build quality, display, but the company has definitely disappointed by not giving the calling feature.
