OnePlus Watch 2 Review | WearOS Done Right!
1,746Reviewing the OnePlus Watch 2, a WearOS smartwatch that for me beats Google's own Pixel Watch 2, and is a solid rival to Samsung's Galaxy Wear efforts. The OnePlus Watch 2 boasts the best battery life of most recent alternatives, outside of Xiaomi and Huawei wearables using proprietary OS's. You can buy one in the UK for £299 or US for $299, and it's 329 Euros.
This amazing longevity comes courtesy of the OnePlus Watch 2's dual chipset and dual OS setup. WearOS is handled by Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5, while basic tasks including health tracking use a low-powered BES chip. In this way, you can get three to four days of battery life from a single charge of this smartwatch.
WearOS is of course as user friendly as always, if slightly buggy here on the OnePlus Watch 2 at launch. This should be sorted in updates, of course. Performance is excellent and the massive display is a stunner, but this smartwatch certainly isn't designed for smaller wrists.
I've reviewed loads of OnePlus Watch 2 rivals right here on Tech Spurt, Pixel Watch and Samsung's Galaxy Wear included. Oh, and stay tuned for my verdict on the Xiaomi Watch S3!
