Fans thought that the launch is imminent when the straps of the Cyberpunk 2077 limited edition appeared online, but the company decided to postpone the launch. Now, OnePlus has revealed that the Watch will be released early next year.

The information comes to us from Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, who tweeted a message letting fans know that the much anticipated OnePLus Watch is set for a release early next year. There is no specific information or date, but we can expect the watch to be announced alongside the OnePlus 9 series. As mentioned earlier, the watch is supposed to be released back in October. The company has sent engineering samples to a few telecom agencies. But the device has remained unreleased for some unknown reasons.
OnePlus is also reportedly working closely with Google, to make improvements on Wear OS. Lau made it clear that the OnePlus Watch and Wear OS projects are completely unrelated. OnePlus wants a watch that should be a part of its IoT ecosystem so that it communicates with TV, phone, and various other smart devices. So, deep-level integration is required. Lau further added that “Wear OS definitely has room to improve. What we’re trying to do is work with Google to try to improve the connectivity between the Wear OS ecosystem, Android TV, and smartphones to create this ability for better device interoperability across the ecosystems.”
