The OnePlus Watch‘s new special edition was recently teased by the company. Now, the brand has officially announced the new Cobalt Limited Edition in China and has even announced the pricing as well.
For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant
announced the smart watch back in March along with its flagship OnePlus 9
series of smartphones. Now, the wearable is available in two variants, namely
the Classic Edition and the Cobalt Edition. The company had previously
announced the launch date of this new color variant, and it is currently listed
on the popular Chinese e-commerce website, JD.com for a price of 1,599 Yuan (US$ 250) and will be available for purchase starting from 17th
May 2021.
This pricing is almost around 60 percent
higher than the base Classic variant of the smart watch, which is priced at 999
Yuan (US$ 155) in China. Similar to the classic edition, the
OnePlus Watch Cobalt Edition will also feature a 316L stainless steel but with
a cobalt alloy frame as well. Another new addition includes a sapphire glass
cover, which is surrounded by a circular dial that has a gold color finish.
Similarly, the wearable will also be available with leather and fluoro rubber
straps.
Interestingly, even the packaging retail
box of the Cobalt edition arrives in a new luxury design. While there are
aesthetical differences between the two variants, the specifications and
internals of the device remains the same. The watch will still sport a 1.39
inch AMOLED displau with a 454x454px resolution. This is coupled with 1GB of
RAM and 4GB of internal storage. It also offers the same bloog oxygen, sleep,
and heart beat monitoring system along with activity trackers as well.
