Like most fitness bands, OnePlus band is also touted to feature sleep tracking as well as 24/7 heart rate tracking and SpO2 blood saturation monitoring. It will most likely retail for $34 and will launch in India before making its way to other markets.

In addition to the specifications, Sharma also uploaded some product shots revealing the wearable’s design. Except for the wider display, the band looks a lot like the recently launched Mi band 5. It will come with a removable interface and a wide array of color combinations all sporting a ridged silicone band design.
