The first OnePlus Watch update promises to fix some of its biggest problems

The OnePlus Watch didn’t really get off to a good start. Reviews of the wearable were largely unfavorable owing to inaccurate activity tracking, lack of marquee features at launch, GPS dropouts, and more. It seems OnePlus has taken note of many of these problems in the latest update now rolling out for the device.

This is the first OnePlus Watch over-the-air update with firmware number B.40. It will initially roll out to devices in the US and Canada, followed by other countries in the coming days.

The changelog of the latest OnePlus Watch update shows that the company has pushed out improvements to things like GPS, fitness tracking, notifications, and more. It even squashes some known bugs. However, you might not be too happy with it since some previously missing features have still not landed.

OnePlus says it’ll push out the Always-on display functionality, remote camera control, all 110 workout modes, and other attributes in a future update. There’s no word on when this update will land, but reports suggest it could release around mid-May.
