OnePlus is adding a simple incentive to its new flagship launch: purchase the 512GB OnePlus 13 and it will include the OnePlus Watch 2R at no additional cost. The smartwatch, which normally sells for about $230, is available in Forest Green and Gunmetal Gray. And if you don’t like wearables, you can choose a Wood Grain Magnetic Half-Pack Case instead. Like most of the flash perks from phone manufacturers, the offer is good while supplies last.
How Can I Qualify For The Free Smartwatch?
The rules are simple. Just add the 512GB OnePlus 13 to your cart, pick one of the two new colorways of the OnePlus Watch 2R when prompted, and check out before stock gets gobbled up. There is no additional promo code, and the discount appears automatically in the cart as a bundled item. The 256GB-only version does not feature the watch, but you can still get the Wood Grain Magnetic Half-Pack Case as your freebie.
OnePlus is also piling on a universal trade-in credit on top of the bundle. Trade in any device, in any condition, and you’ll knock $100 off the phone’s price at checkout, dropping the 512GB model to $900. That credit applies to the 256GB model too, albeit without the smartwatch add-on.
What You Get With the OnePlus Watch 2R Smartwatch
The Watch 2R is a more athletically minded variation of OnePlus’s flagship wearable. It’s running Wear OS; everything syncs with Google apps and notifications, and most of the essentials are built in, like GPS, all-day heart rate and SpO2 tracking, and sleep staging. OnePlus claims multi-day endurance from a single charge due to its dual-engine approach that flicks between performance and efficiency modes, which is the design difference that made its high-end Watch 2 stand out in battery tests by reviewers worldwide.
Value-wise, a free Watch 2R is an oversized perk. The ability to get turn-by-turn navigation on your wrist, track a run without bringing a phone, and pay for stuff contactlessly — snaps the 13/Watch combo into place as an ecosystem and not just a phone with accessories.
Is This the Best Bundle Purchase Right Now?
For buyers who are already considering the 512GB OnePlus 13, the answer is almost certain to be yes. So, you’re essentially getting $230 worth of bonus value — or a high-end case if you like to travel light. Trade-in for devices in any condition is uncommonly permissive, making it easier to turn a drawer-bound phone or tablet into actual savings.
Rival brands, meanwhile, tend to offer free watches only for short preorder windows or more expensive foldables. A smartwatch inclusion with no strings attached on a standard flagship is rarer. That is important, particularly as some recent industry trackers, like Counterpoint Research, have pointed to the doubling of smartwatch penetration — thanks in part to fitness-oriented features and tighter phone linkups. In other words, there is a market for wearables — and these bundles bring the barrier down.
OnePlus 13: Key Highlights to Know Before Buying
The 13 emphasizes performance and durability. It is underpinned with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite platform and backed by an onboard 6,000mAh (Silicon NanoStack) battery with 80W wired fast charging for quick top-ups. A tougher-than-the-average-flagship IP69 rating also provides far better protection against high-pressure water jets and particle penetration than just plain old, splash-resistant flagships.
And on the camera front, the triple-lens layout is out to get bright, detailed images which are processed with way too much punch. Although you can operate it more vividly straight out of the box, there’s room in the camera app to dial down saturation should you want a less colorful look. The vegan leather finish means the phone has more tactility and a premium feel than glass-and-metal slabs of recent times.
How to Make the Most of the OnePlus 13 Watch Offer
Be fast, and double-check that your watch selection is locked in at checkout; inventory-based promos can evaporate mid-cart during popular shopping days. If you’re trading in, back up and factory-reset your device; be honest about its condition to prevent clawbacks on the credit. Think about storage needs — if 256GB meets them, balance the free smartwatch against your usage. If you were going to buy the watch anyway, the 512GB model now has a more compelling reason.
Finally, look beyond the day-one discount. Yes, remember that Wear OS is very much dependent on app support, and while most of the big names are available nowadays, check for your specific services — fitness tracking platforms, maps, payments — and make sure they’re set up. That will take the sting off the free watch feeling like a consolation upgrade to your routine, a mere box stuffer.
Bottom Line: A Strong Value if You Want OnePlus 13
For those thinking of buying the 512GB OnePlus 13, this is one of the most straightforward value-adds you could ask for: a perfectly serviceable Wear OS smartwatch included at no additional charge and just a simple trade-in that lowers the final price.
It’s a simple, consumer-friendly pitch — just don’t take too long deciding, as the watch is only included for as long as supplies last.
