Deemed “the smartwatch you should get in 2025” at the very beginning of the year in our original review, the OnePlus Watch 3 is undeniably more versatile than ever before and arguably more appealing than ever at a rare $30 discount in two different versions.
You’ve got the older model, available in a 46mm size in Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium colorways, and the recently released 43mm variant coated in Silver Steel and Black Steel, and unlike during other promotional periods on the official OnePlus US website, you don’t need to trade anything in right now to save the aforementioned 30 bucks on the unit you prefer out of that roster.

The smaller and younger edition, mind you, is also cheaper, normally costing $299.99, while the larger device is typically priced at $349.99. That means that you’re looking at paying as little as $269.99 and no more than $319.99 if you hurry for an objectively handsome, powerful, and reliable Apple Watch Series 10 alternative compatible with Android smartphones and Android smartphones only.
Because it doesn’t work with iPhones, the OnePlus Watch 3 has the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra as its main rivals rather than the industry-leading Apple Watch portfolio, and compared to… pretty much all its “mainstream” alternatives, this bad boy holds a major advantage in the battery life department.

With “power saver” features enabled, you’re looking at endurance scores between charges of up to seven days as far as the 43mm OnePlus Watch 3 is concerned and no less than 16 days (!!!) for the 46mm variant, which is essentially unheard of outside the rugged smartwatch category.
The AMOLED touchscreen is remarkably sharp and bright on both OnePlus Watch 3 versions, the health monitoring arsenal virtually unrivaled for the sub-$350 and sub-$300 price brackets, and the rotating crown (although far from original) clearly enhances the user experience and convenience, making this Wear OS soldier hard to beat… at its latest and greatest discount. Just don’t wait too long or the killer new deal may well go away.
