It looks like OnePlus' rumored smartwatch might be just around the corner. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau on Tuesday said in a tweet that the company is making a smartwatch and expects to release it early in 2021.  

"Many of you said you wanted a watch, and as you might have heard over the weekend -- we're making one, to be released early next year," Lau tweeted. "Wishes do come true."

Rumors have been swirling for a while that OnePlus has had a smartwatch in the works, but details on the expected device are limited. OnePlus is reportedly working with Google on the smartwatch, meaning it'll likely run Wear OS , and some rumors have said the watch will have a round display.
