After teasing it for a long time, OnePlus announced on Monday launched the OnePlus Band, the first wearable device from the brand. The band is tailored to the Indian market.
OnePlus said that it packs in the features of a smart fitness tracker including blood oxygen modes, and has 13 exercise modes including yoga and cricket. Other features include sleep tracking, real-time heart rate tracking and personalised heart rate alerts.
It has an IP68 and 5ATM rating, which means it can withstand dust and stand, and can stand to be immersed in water for a specific time.
OnePlus said that there are an array of watch faces and dual-coloured strap options. It is a AMOLED colour display, and adjustable brightness.
From tracking your sleep and heart rate to tracking your favorite cricket shot, with the #OnePlusBand you can truly be #SmartEverywear.
