With less than a week left before the OnePlus global hardware event, a report has emerged that the company is working on the OnePlus Watch 2 successor.

Keen-eyed folks at Android Authority, while reading through the programme code of OHealth, the official smartwatch app for OnePlus and Oppo phones, detected several unreleased product names-- OnePlus Watch 3, Watch 3 Pro, Watch X2, and X2 Pro. The latter two are said to be Oppo's rebranded versions of sister firm OnePlus Watch 3 and 3 Pro.

Like the Apple Watches, OnePlus is planning to introduce state-of-the-art health tracking features such as ECG (Electrocardiogram) to detect Atrial Fibrillation (AFib).

Further, it is said come with '60-second Checkup" feature will provide a quick health assessment based on seven key parameters including blood-oxygen saturation, sleep pattern (minimum five days recording), arterial stiffness, ECG, mental wellness, wrist temperature, and more.
