OnePlus is diving back into the smartwatch pool with the OnePlus Watch 2, marking a significant shift in strategy. This time, the company ditches its proprietary operating system in favor of Google’s Wear OS, potentially opening the door to a wider app ecosystem and familiar user experience for Android smartphone users.

The most notable feature, however, might be the battery life. Touting a massive 100 hours of “smart” use, the OnePlus Watch 2, with its innovative dual operating system approach, could be a game-changer for smartwatch enthusiasts who are weary of daily charging routines. Wear OS handles the main functions and app support, while a secondary RTOS takes over during idle periods, significantly optimizing battery consumption.

The Watch 2 sports a sleek and modern round design, featuring a comfortable 1.43-inch AMOLED display. Under the hood, a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip keeps Wear OS running smoothly, while the BES 2700 MCU takes care of the RTOS side of things. This combination aims to deliver both powerful performance and efficient battery management.

Storage and memory haven’t been overlooked either. The Watch 2 boasts a generous 32GB of storage, which should be ample space for music, apps, and downloaded data. Additionally, the 2GB of RAM ensures smooth multitasking and app switching.

While specific details regarding the local market launch and pricing are still under wraps, the OnePlus Watch 2 appears to be a compelling contender in the smartwatch market. The innovative dual OS approach coupled with the adoption of Google’s Wear OS offers a potential blend of extended battery life, wider app availability, and a familiar user experience for Android users.
