The OnePlus Watch 4 just made a slightly surprising debut, stepping in as the company’s latest smartwatch without much lead-up. I’ve been using the OnePlus Watch 3 for more than a year, and it’s still one of my top recommendations for anyone shopping the Wear OS market. Between its excellent battery life, consistently smooth performance, and Apple-like rotating crown, it’s an easy device to live with day to day.
Which is probably why the Watch 4’s arrival lands a bit flat. As a OnePlus Watch 3 owner, I don’t see myself upgrading this time around. There just aren’t enough reasons to replace what’s already working so well on my wrist.
