A good time

While the first iteration of the OnePlus Watch was no smarter than a fifth grader, the OnePlus Watch 2 brings WearOS chops to rival the best of Samsung and Apple and even trumps Google’s Pixel Watch.

You don’t have to be shy with the OnePlus Watch 2. This stainless steel and sapphire crystal glass mini-burger can take on the messiest workouts and the toughest terrains. Well, it’s not ironclad like the Garmin Fenix or Epix but the Watch 2 is built to the MIL-STD-810H US military standard.

At 47mm, it’s also quite thick and big, so you may want to walk into a OnePlus store and put this on your wrist. That is, if you’re unsure how chonky you want your wrist computer to be — because OnePlus only sells a single-size variant.

It’s the most comfortable watch we’ve tested. The fluor rubber strap bundled with the watch feels like a hug and there’s no reason to upgrade from it unless you’re bored of the colours you get at launch.

You won’t find your nose stuck to the strap to read a text or see the navigation pointer on the map. It’s sharp and bright for the price you pay.

Double trouble

The phenomenal battery life is due to a dual chipset integration. The Snapdragon W5 performance chipset runs WearOS 4 and handles all the clever duties of apps and tracking workouts. Meanwhile, BES2700 manages background activities like notifications and calls.

Strap on

The quick-release buckle for the straps is of 22mm standard format so you can buy thirdparty straps and find another reason to keep wearing the watch. Although the bundled strap is extremely comfortable for everyday exercise and leisure. It looks sporty though.
