The OnePlus Watch has just taken another important step toward launch, but we also learned that a pair of watches will be available

The proof is in the form of an image taken from a list by Indian regulator BIS, posted on Twitter by Mukul "stufflistings" Sharma The registration only applies to India, but since we expect Watch to launch worldwide, this should be a warning that regulators will soon appear or launch in other countries, such as the US and UK

Two models are mentioned in the list, the W501GB and the W301GB We cannot speculate what these two models refer to based on existing and leaked information However, based on the type of smartwatch in general, these different codes could relate to watches with different face sizes or with different connectivity, such as a Bluetooth-only model and another model that works with LTE

As for software, OnePlus has stated that it is working on Google's Wear OS, but with modifications Pete Lau specifically cited "interoperability" as a priority in one interview, and it appears that OnePlus wants to add more integration between the Watch and the phone than Wear OS supports by default

If fitness bands are your thing, the OnePlus Band is expected to launch soon This band is envisioned to be an inexpensive competitor to the Watch, but will offer the key health tracking features needed to monitor exercise

The release date for the OnePlus Watch is a bit unclear beyond the announced release earlier this year The obvious release date would be around April or May, when the OnePlus 9 is expected to be announced However, OnePlus has done this in the past when it has announced new products like the OnePlus Nord and OnePlus TV, so it is possible that the Watch and Band will be announced in separate showcases
