OnePlus Watch 4 clears EEC certification, launch likely soon
The OnePlus Watch 4 has now shown up on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) database, clearing another important certification before launch. The listing, which mentions model number OPWWE261, doesn’t reveal much on its own, but it confirms that OnePlus is preparing the watch for sale in multiple markets.
EEC certification is a standard compliance step and does not reveal specifications, but it usually signals that a product is nearing announcement. This follows an earlier EMVCo certification and multiple leaks, pointing to the Watch 4 moving through final pre-launch stages.

Leaks suggest limited hardware changes
A recent leak from tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore suggests the Watch 4 may not bring major hardware upgrades over the current OnePlus Watch 3. It’s expected to carry forward a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 466 x 466 resolution, similar to the current OnePlus Watch 3. The case size may increase slightly to 47 mm, but that looks more like a design adjustment than a functional shift.
The bigger talking point is the chipset. The watch is tipped to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, which isn’t new at this point. With newer wearable chips already available, this choice suggests OnePlus is prioritising stability and battery optimisation over a jump in performance. Battery capacity is also expected to stay at 646mAh. The one clear upgrade could be durability, with a possible move to an IP69 rating from IP68. That would make it more resilient in tougher conditions, especially around water exposure. Software is still a bit unclear. Leaks mention Wear OS 5, while certification details point to Wear OS 6, which would better match the current Android cycle.
The OnePlus Watch 3 launched globally in February 2025 at around USD 329 (around Rs 30,400), offering a mix of premium materials, strong battery life, and a clean Wear OS experience. The Watch 4 looks like it’s sticking to that same approach, from what’s surfaced so far. The Watch 3 didn’t make it to India, so we aren’t sure what OnePlus plans with the new model.
The pricing puts it in direct competition with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and in a similar range as the Pixel Watch 4. They lean on tighter ecosystem integration and newer hardware, while brands like Garmin and Amazfit focus more on fitness tracking depth and longer battery life. If the OnePlus Watch 4 lands around the same price, it fits users who want something dependable that doesn’t need frequent charging.
