The OnePlus Watch 3 is the kind of consumer smartwatch we all deserve—but unfortunately, not everyone can have it. Despite offering plenty of impressive features and solid hardware, it has notable limitations that may hold it back. Yet, the Watch 3 might just be a blueprint for the next generation of smartwatches, and in this review, I'll explain exactly why.
OnePlus smartwatches have been strong contenders in the wearable market, offering long battery life and versatile tracking features.

Although the Apple Watch has evolved with a larger display and slimmer design, its overall look has remained largely unchanged for years. Apple has primarily focused on introducing new software tricks rather than making drastic changes in the exterior.

As part of the spring break sale, all variants are $60 off, making them up to 17% cheaper on Amazon and Best Buy.
Xiaomi has priced the Redmi Watch 5 at $100, but honestly, it feels like a bit of a stretch. While it’s not without its merits, the overall package leans toward the basic side, and the software algorithms could use some fine-tuning. Plus, when it comes to health data privacy, Xiaomi’s track record as a Chinese brand raises some eyebrows for those concerned about where their data might end up.
I’ve spent some time with the Watch 5, putting it through its paces to separate the highlights from the hiccups. Here’s the lowdown on what Xiaomi’s latest budget smartwatch has to offer and where it falls short. Let’s dive in.
If you're planning to spend more time exercising outdoors this spring or simply looking to improve your overall wellness, a smartwatch can be a great companion.
