OnePlus had its summer launch event today where we saw the debut of the Nord 5 series but they weren’t the only new devices announced on stage. We also got the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm edition and the OnePlus Buds 4 wireless earbuds
OnePlus Watch 3 43mm
If the original 46mm OnePlus Watch 3 seemed too big, then the new 43mm version should be easier on the wrist. As the name implies, this is an identical smartwatch but with a 43mm casing. This means the display has shrunk to 1.32-inches (still 60Hz AMOLED) and the overall weight is down to 36.8 grams vs 49.7grams on the larger OnePlus Watch 3.
The watch features a stainless-steel casing alongside IP68 ingress protection and comes with a new set of 130mm-210mm straps. As for connectivity, you can only pick up the new watch in a single Bluetooth/WiFi-only trim.
OnePlus Watch 3 43mm
Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 paired with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. The software side is covered by Google Wear OS 5 and a real-time operating system (RTOS) for less demanding tasks. What has changed is the battery capacity, which is now rated at 354mAh. OnePlus claims you should expect up to 60 hours of usage.

Buds 4 are rated at up to 11 hours of battery endurance with ANC off, with the case extending the total run time to 45 hours.
