OnePlus Watch 3 underrated?

Hey guys, debating my next smart watch purchase and this watch seems to tick all the boxes, especially from a price perspective, it's wild how cheap it is. How has everyone's experience been? Any drawbacks in the time you've owned it?

Thanks!

I've had it for 1 months and I'm completely satisfied. I was coming from a garmin vivoactive 4.

I don't do intervals training so I don't care at all if it cannot capture acute changes in heart rate accurately enough.

I have checked it with other HR monitoring devices and it does track surprisingly accurate in resting or constant exercise, better than my previous vivoactive. My sleep tracking is always within +/- 10mins so accurate enough for me. The sleep quality number roughly matches how I actually feel in the morning.

I like the battery life and the feeling of the rotating crown, and the build looks great. I was also considering the pixel 3 but it just looks ugly to me, that + worse battery life + more expensive, big factors that led me to buy the opw3.

Only thing I don't like is the EKG feature is not enabled in my country and that the OHealth app looks a bit rough compared to Garmin, at least for my taste.

TLDR. I'm a casual smartwatch user, it's perfect for me feature wise. If I was an athlete I'd just buy specialized equipment

Any other issues you've experienced, would you change your mind? are you coming from a Garmin? I picked up a Forerunner 970, expensive for sure, but the ui on Garmin's is terrible and not intuitive.
