  • The OnePlus Band is the company’s first wearable product.
  • It packs thirteen different training modes and supports blood oxygen monitoring.
  • The OnePlus Band is priced at Rs. 2,499 (~$34)

OnePlus is finally getting into the wearable ecosystem in India with the OnePlus Band. The company’s first foray into the fitness wearable ecosystem is an entry-level tracker that errs suspiciously close to the existing Oppo Band.

The spec sheet on the OnePlus Band shouldn’t surprise anyone and packs all the key features you would expect at this price point. This includes a 1.1-inch AMOLED display, heart rate tracking, SpO2 monitoring, and sleep monitoring.

No, there’s no GPS here, but you do get a connected GPS feature. Additionally, the OnePlus Band is IP68 certified allowing you to comfortably take it for a swim. Battery life on the OnePlus Band is rated for up to 14 days on a single charge.

Like the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, the OnePlus Band ships with a range of activity modes. Check all of these modes below:

  • Outdoor running
  • Indoor running
  • Fat burn run
  • Outdoor walking
  • Outdoor cycling
  • Indoor cycling
  • Elliptical trainers
  • Rowing machine
  • Cricket
  • Badminton
  • Pool swimming
  • Yoga
  • Free training
