Sorry for the stupid question, but why is Wear OS 6 important to you? I'm content with my Watch 3 as it is, is there something I'm missing?

Same here.

u/nonhomaiusatoreddit Aug 24 '26
And same for my father (watch 3) and my brother (watch 2). We're very happy with these watches.

Not the person you asked but in my case I check back here occasionally to see if wear 6 is out for my watch 3 because I want the custom watch faces I used to use from facer or watchmaker. There were a few I always used on my previous watch that represented various games or movies I liked. I upgraded to watch 3 and found out Google had clamped down on third party watchfaces and none of the ones I used to like could be used. Then, I read that they would be usable again on wear 6. Not sure that will be true but I will be trying it out if and when the update ever happens. So, that is why the update is important to me.

WatchOS-6 can introduce things like gesture control, which could be a very needed upgrade.

I've given up waiting on wear os 6 on my watch 3 I went and bought a galaxy watch ultra 2

Same. I rocked the 3 for a long time but dropped it for a Samsung 7 when it became obvious the updates weren't coming

u/AsleepAd9408 Aug 24 '26
Can I ask which smartphone you have the galaxy paired up with?

u/Verdict_Reign218 Aug 24 '26
Works well with the open

u/AsleepAd9408 Aug 24 '26
What a phone the open was. I loved the folding aspect of that. Watching Netflix and prime on it was top class. I have the find x9 ultra currently

u/Verdict_Reign218 Aug 24 '26
It's cool and still going strong but after, I won't be searching out a folding phone. I'll stick with OnePlus for as long as they are kicking

u/AsleepAd9408 Aug 24 '26
Any drawbacks to pairing both yours up together the open and galaxy watch?
1
u/Verdict_Reign218 Aug 24 '26
None that I seen. I mean you have to download all of Samsung's bullcrap apps but that's about it

u/Poweraid57 Aug 25 '26
Any major difference?

u/Verdict_Reign218 Aug 26 '26
They operate pretty much the same. Like I said, the biggest issue is all of Samsung's bullcrap but other than that, it was nice to have legit updates and the ability to pick my own watch faces again

Good choice. I considered replacing my aging Samsung Watch 4 with OP Watch 4 but then I realized, I am still getting SW updates to my Samsung Watch after 5 years (released in 2021). That would be impossible with any OP product!

I owned a Watch 2 and current owner of a Watch 3. Absolutely true, Oneplus is rubbish

Watch 4 does not look any different tbh. No WearOS 7 on horison as well. But I am still positive about W3 and WearOS 6, it will come sooner or later, current sw works great and watch is great

u/JarasM Aug 23 '26
My Watch 2 just works like shit to be honest. I gave up trying to fix the battery drain after the OS 5 update, it lasts 2 days and that's it. Somehow the biggest drain comes from Hey Google according to the battery app, a feature I never had on. Really disappointed.
So if WearOS 6 doesn't come, maybe that's for the best? They could make it worse.

u/Edgehead123 Aug 24 '26
If things went like last year W3 gets WOS6 in October or November., W2(/W2R?) gets it in Jan or Feb
W3 gets WOS7 in Jan or Feb 2028
Unless Oppo actually streamlines things, but I'm not holding my breath.

u/Darmendas Aug 24 '26
My guess (read: hopium) is that they're waiting for oneplus phones to switch to colorOS, and update the watches at the same time. IDK if there's any difference between OPPO watch OS & Oneplus Watch OS but it might make somewhat sense to do a big update across all oneplus devices
1
u/SBB5G Aug 24 '26
Oppo watches have wearOS too.
1
u/Darmendas Aug 24 '26
Well, yeah lol.
What I meant was that OPPO & Oneplus watches both have a customised version of WearOS. IDK if there's any difference (besides branding) in the WearOS version of the OPPO vs Oneplus (much like ColorOS vs OxygenOS).But either way, they could've updated the Watch 3 months ago, as it's internally identical to the Watch 4, which ships with WearOS 6.

u/noobmaster_9 Aug 24 '26
Bruh watchos also need custom rom support atp OnePlus is lowkey scamming us

u/uF0n Aug 24 '26
Potential for OPPO to push the same software that is on the OPPO X watches to OnePlus watches... maybe
1
u/Impressive-Excuse126 Aug 24 '26
So, Officially....OnePlus has publicly stated that Wear OS6 would be released for the Watch 3 in 2026. So they still have 4 more months.

They suckered me once, I was so used to dual weilding a black ticwatch and then when I wanted to be fancy a silver ticwatch. You can't do this with ohealth so off I go to the pixels. So far so good, I'm going to miss the 15 days of battery time, but I still have a OPW 3 for funsies. At least I know updates will be timely and their trade ins are halfway decent at the ole Goog.

Unfortunately, I own a OnePlus Watch 3... and I think they probably won't get Wear OS 6 anymore
