Great Review ! Just ordered mine unbelievable value, used a £50 voucher one plus gave me plus Buds 3 included all for £219. Looking forward to 8th March 24 delivery date.
You can get it for $100 in the USA if you order with the OnePlus 12 (you get 66% off). I just got the OnePlus 12, one plus buds 3 and the OnePlus watch 2 all for under $1000.
This watch is FANTASTIC! I've had the GW 5 and 6 but this watch is so much faster, battery life is better, less money and better looking (subjective) but its a great watch so far!
This is what redemption looks like. Oneplus is just delivering banger after banger since the launch of oneplus open; OP12 / 12R, OP Buds 3 and now this brilliant smartwatch. It's just outstanding.
tbh i dont really get the whole "it will do three days between charges!" thing if I'm charging my phone pretty much every day anyways. I'm using the Pixel Watch 2 and although it can survive 2 whole days I just charge it whenever I'm charging my phone, makes it really easy to keep track and its a super simple ritual since I'm already used to charging my phone anyways. Besides these things charge so fast, in like 10~15 mins its full
I've ordered the Watch 2 yesterday but I was a little bit sceptics since all reviews so far were kinda meh and didn't show me what I was looking for so I didn't know if I made good or bad decision. But your review included absolutely every detail I wanted to know (well almost every. I can't find anywhere if the haptic feedback is strong enough) and I am even more hyped for the Watch 2. 10/10 review. As someone who has never used a smart watches but only xiaomi mi bands I am really looking forward to try the Watch 2 ^^
I remember MKBHD saying the haptics are kinda meh and the watch takes a couple seconds to display a notification after he raises his arm but other than that it's a great watch
@@trojanman4715 Yeah I saw that video. The notifications were surprising to me since MKBHD was the only one talking about it (we have to take into consideration that he had the pre release software). And it's hard to say what can we imagine by "meh haptics"
I bought this watch yesterday and connected to my S24 Ultra and i really have allot of issues.. Notifications not coming trough, saying theres no connection with WIFI while i'm on WIFI, saying that the bluetooth connection isn't there while in the bluetooth section on the phone is saids connected , can't connect a JBL tour pro 2 and Airbuds pro 2 bc of bluetooth issues, allowing the app to allow things keeps turning off even though I have checked it. Gonna change it for a Classic 6..
I ordered mine and got it for £192 with discounts !! Forget the trolls that are slating it without even trying it😂 looking forward to getting it in few days LTE doesn't bother me as I take my fone wherever I go. And you also get a great pair of buds worth £100 for free ??? It's a no brainer 👍
@Ignacio.Romero it depends. I have a galaxy watch 4 classic, 5 Pro, watch 6 classic and pixel watch. Love the other watches and rotate them, but every day while at work I use the pixel watch because of the size.
it does not. i am running the latest version of the watch and in general it doesn't do anything, I've tried it on soundcloud aswell and it does not increase or decrease volume. I heard it was designed to spin to add strength to the watch.
Step count doesn't need to be super accurate, the whole recommended 10000 daily steps wasn't based on anything scientific to begin with. As long as you have a fairly decent idea.
@@SantoValentino I'm not defending it, it's not great. I just think step counting is for people who don't do any real exercise, and doesn't really mean much, so some inaccuracy is not going to really impact them in any noticeable way.
Beautiful watch but those BEZELS!!!! I just bought the Galaxy watch 6 and it has really slim bezels which looks sharp. I'm debating returning it and getting this but not sure I could get past the chunky border
I got myself the Xiaomi watch 2 pro, on the 14th day of having it (the returns window) Oneplus announced this. Although the Xiaomi wathc is excellent the battery life isn't anywhere near the advertised 55 hours. This would definitely have been the watch id gone for if they had announced it earlier or if I hadn't of been so impatient
Been waiting for your review as I am torn between Amazfit Balance, Huawei Gt4 or Oppo watch X (same watch as One Plus Watch 2 but different branding for Malaysia market). Opinion anyone which should I get @_@.
I have a Ticwatch Pro 5 and, due to never updating the previous models, I'm wary of Ticwatch NEVER updating the 5 to Wear OS 4.0. So... I've ordered the OnePlus 2. Done. Goodbye Ticwatch (Shame, as the 5 really is a lovely item).
I have tried the Watch 2 for a couple of months and I absolutely loves it. You can get a really good price on my Ticwatch pro 5 that has been stuck in a drawer since I got the Oneplus watch 2 😂
No one ever mentions the strength of the vibration motor. These things are an extension of the phone. If the phone is on vibrate it's really important that the vibration motor be strong. Can you briefly tell me, genuinely, if the vibration motor is strong and you can feel it while on the wrist?
The reviewer doesn't care about you. He just posts his free product to get some clicks and get a check. It's rare to find a reviewer that's genuinely into the product
@@kop1986 he has anime stuff in the background like he's really into cartoons. Don't get me wrong, I like him and I hate picking on him. He's charming but I can tell he isn't really genuine.

had the Xiaomi 2 and the OnePlus 2 here and the Xiaomi looks a bit sexier but man does the OnePlus just smacks the Xiaomi in every way. No Lag when you edit watchfaces, Google Maps Experience on the OnePlus is just fast and spot on with Voice Controls while driving - the Xiaomi stutters and sticks as hell. We know how good the Battery on the OnePlus is and man...why is nobody saying anything about the Vibration Motor in the OnePlus? In Comparison to the Xiaomi, it feels like a million bucks, the Xiaomi has the old Nokia Vibration, so your Bones feel the Watch vibrating 😂 OnePlus 2R for the Win 🎉
You have my attention.....I am so tired of charging up my watch every day......they'll land here eventually. One Plus is an established brand at this point.
Been a Samsung Knight for ages (shout-out to Flossy Carter) and this is going to be my first time ordering a OnePlus device. I liked my Galaxy Watch 4, but I really need better battery life. I saw some people complain about a lack of an ECG sensor, but then I remembered that I could count on one hand how many times I actually used that feature on one hand.
Oneplus sent me a £50 coupon code this week, and they are giving away a pair of Buds 3 with the watch while also giving you £30 off with your pre-order. So I ended up paying just £219 for the watch and the buds. That's a cracking deal and it felt rude not to. Now I need to sell my TicWatch Pro3 which I've hardly ever used because its so ugly.
Would you pick this over a ticwatch pro 5? I have a pro 3 and deciding between this and ticwatch pro 5 EDIT* Nvm just went with OnePlus Watch 2 since it has wear os 4
@@doudymac I have a ultra but haven't really had problems with BT. I just want to upgrade to something newer. Ordered a black OnePlus watch 2. It looks really nice. Stop thinking of maybe the silver but everything I wear is mostly dark
@TechSpurt Can you disable all sensors on this thing? I just want a smart watch with good battery life, NFC for payments and basic step tracking. I would do a Garmin, but I refuse to use their Garmin Pay when im already using Android Pay/Wallet. Thank you for the review.
@@efonwang You're not wrong. Just need steps, battery life and nfc for payments. Havent been able to find one that fits my use case. I like Garmin except for their odd choice to not support GPay and stick to their Garmin Pay.

Did they fix the GPS? My one+ watch 1 gps picked up the signal 5 minutes in my work out (so basically recorded only 1 minute 😂) a reason to sell it. Update: check, thanks for covering it 2 gps,,🙌
I would've been sold if it had wireless charging so I can reverse charge it over my phone ...i tend to lose dinky stuff or break them so that little dock would be history real soon
Most people shy away from Chinese brands, but OnePlus truly does take the best of the "big brands' and halves the price, matches performance and has better battery life in almost all their tech. On the one hand they show how overpriced Apple and Samsung and alike are, on the other though...they're arguably selling your data constantly while staying they're not, but hey, who isn't these days...

So a fantastic phone. Amazing smartwatch and I'm not sure about the buds but wow what a deal
You just spent 1000$ 🙂
Awesome and fun review mate! Have a pre order in ! Long time iOS recently switched to android OP12.. Loving it!
Chinese stuff is so cool these days .
Made the switch a few years ago, from IOS to Samsung, got a OP12 and haven't looked back at any other manufacturer. Build quality is insane
Nice review! I got an email earlier today from OnePlus and my Watch 2.0 just shipped...
How is the GPS?
Is there any altimeter or barometer?
Is the watch capable to detect atmospheric pressure change and notify?
Already pre-ordered! With OP offering $50 for any smartwatch in any condition, was a no brainer.
This watch is FANTASTIC! I've had the GW 5 and 6 but this watch is so much faster, battery life is better, less money and better looking (subjective) but its a great watch so far!

GREAT REVIEW! Nice watch .. love the button design .. happy with my 47 classic... this would be my number 2 choice

Yes it uses standard 22mm bands. 👍
I've ordered one because the intro offers were crazy good, including free headphones. But damn it does look big, would be perfect at 42mm
I dunno. Lots of mad people about Pixel Watch 2 only being in 41mm. I think 43mm is the magic number for sizing between big and small wrists.
I have a 46mm watch and anything smaller feels way too small to use
@Ignacio.Romero it depends. I have a galaxy watch 4 classic, 5 Pro, watch 6 classic and pixel watch. Love the other watches and rotate them, but every day while at work I use the pixel watch because of the size.
I wish OnePlus had a smaller size like 43mm.
@@Ignacio.Romero I can guarantee, no matter how big your wrists are, something closer to 40mm looks better. The wrist dinner plate is not a look
Concerning the crown, can you confirm that turning the crown actually changes the volume when you hear music as one tester pointed out?
