Recently, OnePlus unveiled the highly acclaimed OnePlus 12, garnering positive feedback. While the company has diversified its product range successfully, its initial smartwatch lacked distinctiveness, emitting generic vibes. Fast forward two years, OnePlus is gearing up to introduce the OnePlus Watch 2, promising notable improvements. Here’s a comprehensive overview of what to expect.
The impending launch of the OnePlus Watch 2 holds promise, with rumors hinting at a potential improvement over its predecessor, addressing the shortcomings of the initial OnePlus Watch. This anticipated upgrade could present a compelling overall offering.
Based on leaked renders and information, the OnePlus Watch 2 is slated to operate on Google’s latest WearOS 4.0. The official landing page displays the watch featuring a circular dial and several watch faces. It will debut in two color options: Black Steel and Radiant Steel.
The OnePlus Watch 2 features two buttons on the right side, with the bottom resembling a standard button and the top appearing to incorporate a rotating crown. The watch’s sleek design extends to the right to accommodate these buttons, showcasing a polished metal finish that adds to its aesthetic appeal. Overall, the design stands out from other smartwatches on the market.
Determining the exact size of the smartwatch is challenging based solely on the images, but an estimate would suggest it falls within the range of 45 to 46mm. OnePlus has yet to officially confirm the available size options.
OnePlus has stated that the watch body is crafted from stainless steel, featuring a “sapphire crystal watch face.” Reports indicate the watch will boast a battery life of up to 100 hours in “smart mode.” Given the typical battery longevity of WearOS devices, which usually last no more than two days on a single charge, it will be intriguing to see if the Watch 2 can surpass this threshold without smart mode enabled. Additionally, rumors point towards the inclusion of a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor under the hood.
In any case, the OnePlus ecosystem appears poised to gain a significant addition with the imminent arrival of the OnePlus Watch 2. Set to debut on Monday next week (February 26) during MWC at 8:30 PM IST, it will enter the arena alongside competitors such as the Pixel Watch 2 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. While pricing details remain undisclosed, it’s anticipated that OnePlus will position it within the same price range as other premium smartwatches.
