Oneplus Watch 2: Bridging The Gap Between Smart And Fitness

If you are in the market for a smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 2 offers a unique proposition that bridges the gap between Wear OS and RTOS-running smartwatches. The device combines the smarts of Wear OS with the exceptional battery life of RTOS, providing users with a versatile and efficient wearable technology solution.

The OnePlus Watch 2 features a groundbreaking 'Dual-Engine Architecture' with two chipsets - the Snapdragon W5 performance SoC for Wear OS 4 and the BES 2700 efficiency chipset for RTOS. This innovative approach allows users to enjoy the benefits of both operating systems without compromising on battery life or smart features.

During testing, the OnePlus Watch 2 demonstrated impressive battery performance, lasting up to two nights and three days with sleep tracking and Always on Display (AOD) enabled. With AOD turned off, users can extend the battery life to three nights of sleep tracking and four days of regular use. Additionally, the device offers fast charging capabilities, going from 10% to 100% in just 60 minutes.

For fitness enthusiasts, the OnePlus Watch 2 provides accurate tracking features, including sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, stress monitoring, and sports modes for activities like swimming, cycling, and badminton. The device also features Dual Frequency GPS for precise outdoor running tracking and is IP68 rated and 5 ATM certified, making it suitable for swimming.

Connectivity to Android phones is facilitated through the OHealth app, offering a seamless setup process and intuitive interface. While the app provides essential health data, there is room for improvement in terms of workout tracking details.

Design-wise, the OnePlus Watch 2 boasts a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with sapphire crystal glass, available in Black Steel and Radiant Steel variants. The device features a 47mm case size, which may not be suitable for users with smaller wrists but offers comfort and style for those who prefer larger watches.

Priced at $299.99 / 24,999 Indian Rupees, the OnePlus Watch 2 presents a compelling option for users seeking a smartwatch that balances battery life and smart features effectively. With its unique dual-engine architecture, extended battery performance, and convenient charging capabilities, the OnePlus Watch 2 stands out as a game-changer in the smartwatch market.
