OnePlus has officially stepped into the Wear OS market with the launch of its flagship smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 2. This marks a significant move for the brand as it aims to position itself against other dominant players like the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Google Pixel Watch with a device that blends style and functionality.
The OnePlus Watch 2 showcases a refined and robust design, offered in two color options. It features a scratch-resistant screen with 2.5D Sapphire Crystal glass, which boasts a high rating on the Mohs hardness scale, indicative of its durability. In addition, the watch’s stainless steel body not only adds to its luxe appeal but also offers greater resilience compared to aluminum alternatives.
Durability extends beyond the materials used as OnePlus ensures users that the Watch 2 is built to last, meeting high standards of resistance including IP68, 5 ATM water resistance, and US MIL-STD-810H.
Performance-wise, the OnePlus Watch 2 introduces a dual-engine architecture that includes BES2700 efficiency chip and the Snapdragon W5 processor. This setup is designed to offer exceptional battery life, with the brand touting up to 100 hours in Smart Mode and up to 12 days in Power Saver Mode, making it a standout in the market.
With the latest Wear OS 4 onboard, users can access a variety of apps through the Google Play store, including Google Wallet and Google Maps. The OnePlus Watch 2 also comes equipped with OHealth, the brand’s all-in-one fitness and wellness suite, to cater to those who are keen on tracking their health and physical activities.
The smartwatch doesn’t skimp on technological advancements either, offering dual-frequency GPS for enhanced location accuracy, an array of sensors for health tracking, over 100 sports modes to choose from, ample storage of 32 GB, and a robust 2 GB of RAM. Additionally, users will enjoy the convenience of VOOC Fast Charging, minimizing downtime and ensuring the watch stays powered up when needed.
Those interested in owning the OnePlus Watch 2 can purchase it at a price of EUR 329, which is approximately $356. Further details and a full specification chart for this device are available for prospective buyers.
Whether it is breaking new ground in performance or offering a suite of health and fitness features, the OnePlus Watch 2 is set to be a powerful Wear OS smartwatch that promises to offer users not just a gadget but an experience that stands the test of time in both form and function.
