After years of speculation and rumors, OnePlus finally released its beginning smartwatch, the aptly named OnePlus Scout. While we here at Tom's Guide actually liked the wearable in our OnePlus Watch review, other outlets found information technology less than impressive.

No production is perfect, but OnePlus has already started addressing some of the sentinel's faults. In a future update, it will receive an always-on display option and a 12-hour watch face, two smartwatch staples that were somehow lacking at launch.

The lack of an always-on display is particularly annoying, as you shouldn't accept to flick your wrist upwards to see the time.

OnePlus announced its update intentions in a customs postal service over on its official forums. While the always-on brandish and 12-60 minutes watch face aren't coming but nonetheless, the OnePlus Lookout will receive some problems and stability fixes, GPS and eye charge per unit monitoring improvements, and some other stuff in the coming days.

The company did non specify when the Watch volition get the ever-on display and the 12-hour watch face, just that they're coming in a hereafter OTA update. These forthcoming updates volition likewise enable all 110 workout modes, the AI lookout face up, and add back up for German, Italian, Castilian, and Polish.

In our OnePlus Sentry review, staff author Kate Kozuch said that she liked the responsiveness and user-friendliness of the RTOS (which the OnePlus Watch uses instead of Habiliment OS). Her experience with the battery life also impressed her, hands making the two-week mark that OnePlus has promised.

Even so, the lack of iPhone support and the missing key features hold the OnePlus Watch back. That said, the company is evidently planning to address some of these weaknesses with futurity updates.

Fifty-fifty with these shortcomings, the OnePlus Lookout man is an admirable first try. It's sleek, user-friendly and its bombardment life crushes annihilation from the Wear OS, Tizen, or watchOS families.

In our experience with OnePlus phones, the Chinese house usually does a decent job at listening to customs and journalistic feedback. Hither's to hoping that continues with the OnePlus Watch'due south lifespan.
