OnePlus Watch OPWE242 Spotted: Key FCC Revelations

The FCC certification, first spotted by 91mobiles, reveals some key details about the mystery OnePlus smartwatch:

• Model number: OPWE242
• Dimensions: 48.03 mm x 43.14 mm (smaller than Watch 3’s 47.6 mm x 46.6 mm)
• Battery: 345mAh Li-ion polymer (same as OPPO Watch X2 Mini)
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth
• Design: Circular dial, rotating crown for navigation, magnetic charging pins
• Software version: OPWE242_11_A.02

These hints point towards a compact or “mini” version of the OnePlus Watch 3, possibly named OnePlus Watch 3 Mini, or a rebadged OPPO Watch X2 Mini for global markets.

Is It the OPPO Watch X2 Mini in Disguise?

The hardware specs and battery capacity line up closely with the OPPO Watch X2 Mini, which launched in China recently. If this is a rebranded version, here’s what users can expect:

• Display: 1.32-inch 2.5D AMOLED
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 + BES2700BP dual-chip
• Memory: 2GB RAM + 32GB storage
• Features: eSIM support, heart rate monitoring, SpO2, fitness tracking
• Expected Price: Around Rs 21,000–24,000 in India (based on similar models)

Charging & Compatibility

The charging base model ODP52 seen in the FCC listing is already listed on OnePlus’ global website for €29.99 (approx. Rs 3,000) and is compatible with:

• OnePlus Watch 3
• OnePlus Watch 2
• OnePlus Watch 2R

So, it’s likely the new Watch will share charging hardware with its predecessors.

What About India Launch?

Interestingly, OnePlus Watch 3 skipped the Indian market, with no official word on why. It remains to be seen if this 43mm variant or Watch 3 Mini will make it to Indian shores. Given its compact form and affordable pricing (compared to the full-sized Watch 3), this model could appeal to a broader user base in markets like India.

With a sleek circular design, decent battery, and feature-packed internals, this upcoming OnePlus smartwatch could be the perfect fit for users seeking a more compact and affordable Wear OS experience. Whether it’s a full-fledged OnePlus Watch 3 Mini or a rebadged OPPO sibling, fans will be watching closely.
