OnePlus starts teasing its first fitness band as launch nears

OnePlus is gearing up to launch a fitness band in India soon. With the announcement, OnePlus has also launched the ‘Pursuit of Fitness’ quiz under which participants have to answer a question every day to stand a chance to win the upcoming device. OnePlus Band can even launch before the upcoming smartwatch from the Chinese smartphone maker.

With the launch of the OnePlus fitness band, the company will be extending its product lineup and try to create an ecosystem of devices like other brands. As per tipster Ishan Agarwal, the fitness band will have a 1.1-inch AMOLED display. The features of the band include 24/7 heart rate and SpO2 blood saturation monitoring, sleep tracking, and 13 exercise modes. It will also have up to 14 days of battery life and an IP68 rating.
