We’ve been hearing a lot about the OnePlus Watch in the recent past. The smartwatch was tipped to launch alongside the OnePlus 8T, but that didn’t happen. Even before the debut of the regular OnePlus Watch, straps of a special Cyberpunk 2077 edition made the rounds on the internet last week. The latest development about the OnePlus Watch hints that OnePlus may not use Google’s Wear OS software in the smartwatch.

Although there is no official confirmation, developing a custom OS hints that OnePlus is preparing to enter the wearable segment with a long-term vision. Since the company doesn’t seem to be using WearOS, it will be interesting to see if we get sufficient app support in the smartwatch.
