Introduction: Learn the Hardware Aspect of the OnePlus Watch 2

The OnePlus watch 2 is the newest smartwatch from OnePlus and it should be able to meet the demand of a booming smartwatch market. Its design is decked in a sleek pattern, while its processor packs power and its battery life maintains long endurance. Is it all a blow or does it keep the promises?

Design and Display: An excuse for the eyes (suitably to the wrist)

We can start with the looks, which is one of its major attributes. Inspiring with a truly stylized and high-tech feel, the OnePlus Watch 2 is the most remarkable piece of tech to adorn the wrist. The watch face is made of high-quality materials, and the display is clear, bright, and both stating and distinguishable even in extreme sunlight.

The crown is also worth mentioning. Unlike the crown commonly found on a standard watch, this crown rotates, enabling different functions and designing the interface of the watch. Unlike other smartwatches that have a delegated crown, this crown remains of no functional use. At least this time one can hope that future software updates will support some controls for noise cancellation.

Performance:

Our mission: delivering clean, reliable, and affordable energy to grids, end-users, and our communities.

The OnePlus Watch 2 does not disappoint in handling heftier jobs because of the refined engine. It features two processors: a Snapdragon W5 for Wear OS and a core processor for daily tasks. Hence, this special design is among a few factors that allowed such striking statistics as a watch’s battery life.

Generally, the system has a good and fast response. Experiencing these results, you’ll find no lag or stutter, even with multiple apps or GPS use.

Battery Life: Does it wear out like that?

One of the most prominent features of the OnePlus Watch 2 is its capacity to run for many days on a single charge without the need for your attention. OnePlus assures that the watch has a battery with a capacity of 100 hours in smart mode (the normal mode) versus 12 days in power-saving mode.

In our testing, the effectiveness of these claims also became more evident. The watch in Sport Mode gave us a full week of use only with a one-time battery charge. Moreover, this is an outstanding battery life for a smartwatch compared to most of the market segment.

Features:

High/Low-Temperature Testing: The OnePlus Watch 2 went through testing in laboratory with a temperature of 70℃ together with -40℃ while switched off. It ensures the safe operation from -20℃ to 55℃.

Medical Use Disclaimer: The OnePlus Watch 2 is not a medical equipment. It just offers information for exercise and health status only and is not recommended to diagnose any medical conditions.

Special Features:

One of the distinctive features of the OnePlus Watch 2 is the availability of many special functions that set it apart from the rest of the competition. These include:

Dual-frequency GPS: Doing so helps maintain the accuracy of GPS tracking, thus being more useful in this type of area.

Always-on display: Glancing the watch you will have a chance to see the present time and other essential information, even with your watch in standby mode.

Built-in health tracking: The watch gives you the possibility to monitor your heart rate, pulse, respiration, and your sleep cycle.

Weaknesses:

No smartwatch is a complete horror either.

Despite being a solid choice, the OnePlus Watch 2 has room for improvement in certain areas. These include:

A time for sending the notifications.

Not-so-great haptics: The buzzing feedback for push notifications and incoming texts could be more intense.

No iPhone compatibility: If you’re an owner of an iPhone you’re SOL (shoot off the lips). The OnePlus Watch 2 has been created for Android phone users only.

The bulky charger: This about the size of the cradle is bulky and it can be annoying to carry around when you go on a trip.
