After a three-year hiatus, OnePlus is finally back with a new smartwatch.
OnePlus Watch 2 specs
First, the basics.
I’ve spent the past week with the OnePlus Watch, and here’s what I’ve learned.
And overall, I’d say the company really delivered here.
Operating between the various tilesets was always snappy, and the charge held really well.
Getting smarter
The key to delivering this battery life is what OnePlus calls “Smart mode.”
The app is easy to set up, and it provides a lot of detailed information.
Most people should find it perfectly usable.
It mostly seems to be tied to the performance of the equipment.
There’s no period tracking or body temperature tracking here, either.
Users looking for that in a smartwatch will need to look elsewhere.
But that’s just speculation on my part.
Design and feel
But performance and smartness aren’t everything.
Sure, the OnePlus Watch 2 has great battery life and performs really well, but how does itlook?
To put it quite frankly, the watch is beautiful.
Overall, using the gear felt good.
The company says it supports 80 downloadable first-party watch faces along with third-party faces.
However, the third-party faces won’t work with the Power Saver mode.
So that’s definitely something to keep in mind.
I don’t have a lot of gripes with the watch.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is a solid smartwatch, especially for OnePlus fans.
It goes on sale today, Feb. 26, and is available to preorder onOnePlus.com.
