Third-party reviews

What we like about Oneplus Watch 2

  • Exceptional battery life (up to 100 hours in Smart Mode and 12 days in Power Saver Mode)
  • Fast charging capabilities (full charge in about 60 minutes)
  • Premium and durable build featuring a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal glass
  • Smooth and responsive performance due to the dual-chipset architecture
  • Full Wear OS 4 integration providing access to a wide range of third-party apps and Google services
  • Accurate dual-frequency GPS for outdoor activity tracking
  • Comprehensive fitness tracking with over 100 sports modes

What we don't like about Oneplus Watch 2

  • Large and bulky design that may be uncomfortable or look 'comical' on smaller wrists
  • Lacks advanced health features found in competitors, such as ECG, fall detection, and skin temperature sensing
  • The rotating crown is non-functional for software navigation (it only acts as a button)
  • No LTE/cellular model available, requiring a nearby phone for most connectivity
  • Short software support window compared to rivals (only 2 years of Wear OS updates)
  • Heart rate and step count accuracy can be inconsistent during high-intensity workouts
  • No support for wireless charging; relies on a proprietary pogo-pin puck

Verdict

The OnePlus Watch 2 is a high-performance smartwatch featuring a unique Dual-Engine Architecture that pairs the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset for Wear OS 4 with a BES2700 efficiency chip for RTOS, delivering up to 100 hours of battery life in Smart Mode and 12 days in Power Saver Mode. It boasts a durable stainless steel chassis, a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with 1,000 nits peak brightness protected by 2.5D sapphire crystal, and robust MIL-STD-810H, IP68, and 5ATM ratings. Key pros include its class-leading endurance, dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS for precise tracking, and 2GB RAM with 32GB storage for smooth app performance. However, cons include its large 47mm single-size design that may be bulky for small wrists, a non-rotating crown despite its appearance, and the lack of advanced health features like ECG, fall detection, or cellular LTE options.
