OnePlus recently launched the Nord Watch, but how does it stack up against the more premium OnePlus Watch?

OnePlus' new smartwatch doesn't run Wear OS, but the lightweight RTOS OS is also used by several other manufacturers.

[{"selector":"#anim-6593a640-266c-4eae-a796-324768d33c86","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5afbe04f-c255-4b84-baf3-5bf648d90e93","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 124.09046%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15424545-69db-41eb-bb8a-3e221f584e3b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-960bf4d6-4a9f-49ca-a078-953785ff4d2c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 152.40902%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34b01acb-0653-402b-8e03-5d4f5a1cbb90","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-412687bd-86fb-41bb-adcb-9b3f688596a4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 172.76305%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The biggest disadvantage of RTOS watches is the lack of third-party apps, unlike Wear OS and Apple's watchOS.

The new Nord Watch will be facing intense competition in the budget wearable space with rivals such as Redmi Watch 2, Amazfit GTS 2, GTS 4 Mini.

The Nord Watch and the OnePlus Watch appear strikingly different. The former has a square dial and sits in a case made from zinc alloy.

[{"selector":"#anim-b4f084a3-e7e3-4f8a-92bb-f7888b1f7b23","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06a36b74-cfff-450f-996a-d8174b02c1c8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 124.09046%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1d93089-1624-4e29-91ce-998eb39887db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-128d7286-9bd7-4bcc-a133-86cb8d86de95","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 152.40902%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-67921329-5e89-42a4-adb5-b8baa32294e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ceaf060b-6029-4b26-9141-55fdc8fa3f37","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 172.76305%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

On the other hand, the OnePlus Watch has a circular display nestled inside a stainless steel case.

Both smartwatches use the same type of silicon band which has a ridged design on the outside but is smooth on the inside.
