Imagine how good the battery life would be if they combined that with TicWatch's dual display technology. Youd get over a week of battery life in default mode and 3-4 weeks with Low Power Mode.
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.
Already preordered. The dual nature of the OS's won me over. I have maybe like 1 or 2 things that holds me to wear os. This watch gives me those for the few times I need them, and I can live in the RTOS OS the rest of the time. Eagerly waiting for mine to arrive lol
Honestly, I have watches with and without rotating crowns and I never ever end up using them. I always figure I will, but I don't. Pixel watch has sad, sad battery life. It's pretty, but just too small.
@@lazarsekulic2694 and you have the one plus 2 watch to say it's not accurate ?? Bearing in mind it's not even out to the public yet?? Listen I have the galaxy watch 6 classic you prob don't im guessing
@jamiehunter3567 i dont, but I watched a couple of reviews, and it looks like it is gonna be inaccurate like all android smartwatches. Sorry its bad to say that. I am looking to buy one to just cam not decide and dont wanna go with non smart garmin and their buggy software
Nice to see the battery life improving on these wearOS devices. It's been the main reason I tend to avoid them. I'd take this over the Pixel watch though. Excellent vid!
I've just ordered mine :) I have ticwatch pro 5, and although i love the watch and dual display, the thing that bothers me on TW is that in essential mode, it's completely disconnected from bluetooth, no messaging, no calls, basically just basic measurements of steps, O2, heart beat and sleep. OnePlus watch 2 seems to have more flexibility in the power saving mode and will last approx 12 days, so it's a no brainer for me. :)
My Garmin doesn’t support speech to text. I can reply with pre-canned text responses. But I can live without those because the battery life and activity tracking is second to none. It’s nice not having to think about the battery for 14 days. But that OnePlus watch looks like a step in the right direction.
I'm really hoping that this thing can stand up well to a Venu 2. I'm trying to learn more about Wear OS in general since I've just ignored it. The Garmin Venu 2 is what I use now. I love the amount of health metrics that it tracks at decent quality, how simple and easy it is to create and complete workouts and the battery life (~8 days). I disabled all messages and other smart phone connectivity features for it. If i get the OnePlus Watch 2, i plan to do the same thing. I'm really hoping for comparable battery life when using it similarly as a Venu 2. The only extra things that I can see myself doing with the OPW2 is using youtube music while working out and google maps directions while driving in other people's cars.
For your needs, I really don't think you should bother with a "smarter" watch. Garmin is a MONSTER at rugged health tracking. I'd maybe look at a casio too? Why spend the money on more computer-y stuff if you're not going to use it?
@@SomeGadgetGuy true, it's why I've stuck with Garmin for a bit. Still, if this watch can effectively have comparable battery life (loving the fast charge and usb-c cord), present data equally/better, and share data better then those are huge pluses for me. Garmin is such a headache with syncing weight to Garmin Connect. It also provides data to Cronometer, but doesn't take much from it (water/calories) but Googles health stuff can do that. Garmin is just so isolated on the data front without entire workarounds to fix it. It's the only reason I still have the Fitbit app installed on my phone and even then the sync is not consistent. With Health Connect, that's going to be a two way street between Google and Cronometer, so I'm looking forward to having better data and insights there. Garmin does their core stuff very well, but if the a watch can do the core stuff well enough while being much better with data sharing and visibility then that's what I'm going to use. The Venu 3 gets two weeks of battery life, but I can deal with just over a week if it makes the rest of my life better.
I've had my issues with OnePlus ( the update debacle and the change to the os in the time of the OnePlus 7T), but I'm glad that they are listening and making changes that their customers have asked for. Might consider this an option when I go shopping around for a new wearable.
@@kwabena787the normal mode is the power saving I'm this watch,you can have the best of both worlds,and decide when you want more battery of the wear os stuff
I've been rocking a galaxy s3 classic watch since 2017.... frickin loved that watch for the past 7 years. Samsung is sunsetting support in 2024, so I ordered this bad boy for $230 shipped with all the discounts. It comes in today and can't wait to put it through the ringer :)
Aweseome video! How did you get Gemini actions to go through the watch!? Is that when you set the phone to Gemini it transfers over? Or is it in the watch app store maybe I need to update my galaxy watch 4 classic 🤔 I've been sticking with Assistant, Chat GPT, and Perplexity. They work great when I need one for a certain task. Sadly when I tried out Gemini I couldn't even add stuff to my shopping list, or play my liked music.
Damn... I might end up with this over the latest Ticwatch. I hate the Apple app drawer layout, but the Ticwatch having an unguarded middle button and missing the assistant features... if the battery life is equally great I'm not opposed to this at all.
Yea that’s a HUGE issue for me! I hate that it doesn’t have a rotating crown… if not at least a rotating bezel. But I despise having just the screen to scroll through.
@@kwabena787 hard to compare the two considering that the GT4 doesn’t have wearOS. The OG OnePlus watch had nearly two weeks of battery life but it ALSO didn’t run wearOS with all the google features and was more like a fitness tracker than a real smartwatch. Not to mention, that the GT4 is not available in the U.S. and the Huawei Health app isn’t support here either. Glad the GT4 has great battery life but you have to consider why it does and what EXACTLY it offers in comparison to others that don’t have that longevity.
I started with a Pebble, moved to OnePlus Watch, and ended up with Samsung Galaxy Watch. Pebble was pretty sweet, and I might try to charge it to and see how it performs today. OnePlus Watch was good once they ironed out the bugs, just lacks call and messaging support. Galaxy Watch has ok battery life but man does it have all kinds of connection issues with my phones. I've come back to the OnePlus Watch for a tradeoff between modern OS and looks vs battery life and functionality. OnePlus Watch 2 looks pretty cool, and I think using RT OS for basic functionality makes sense since Google hasn't nailed down efficiency with Wear OS yet. Might just be my next smartwatch!
Oh Im sorry to hear that. I've had really good experiences with Samsung Watches in the past. As to the efficiency point, LOL yeah... WearOS is THIRSTY...
Does the watch work fully separate of the phone? I've had some cheap watches that rely on the app that stays open on the phone in the background and drains the battery.
It depends on how you define "work." It doesn't have a cellular connection, so it can't get calls or notifications without the phone, but it does have a Wi-Fi radio and does it's own data processing and GPS.
Looks nice, but it needs more to replace my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. I do quite like having the (arguably not INSANELY accurate) blood pressure and ECG readings on my wrist all the time. It actually just popped a notice at me today that it's time to recalibrate against my BP cuff before it will take readings again. I find it runs SLIGHTLY higher than the BP machine, but y'know what, for what it is, knowing it runs about 10 points high, I can get a pretty good gauge on things. Looks like a great effort from OnePlus though. Be nice paired with a 12R, I think.
Looks great. What I really want in a watch is just the basics. Music control, notification, nfc payment (i still hate Google Pay tho), look battery life, GPS and being light weight. Something like 4 days with the watch being as lighr as possible. Edit: And I want Find my Device. Find My Device, Notifications, Music Control, Battery, and Light weight are top my wants.
Thanks for the review. I haven't worn a smart watch in several years, but I ordered a One Plus 2 watch on launch day (yesterday)! Can't wait to get it. Thanks again for the review brother!
Amazing innovation when it comes to battery life, truly WearOS' Achilles hill, I'll wait for a version with a rotating bezel or crown to switch from my Galaxy Watch 4 classic
I know. Different strokes for different folks, but the battery was the bigger deal to me. A rotating crown or bezel isn't useful if the watch is dead before the end of a long weekend LOL.
@@SomeGadgetGuy facts, I've even been considering the Amazfit Balance because of this, but as you said, in the end I didn't make the switch due to voice to text replies on WearOS
@@SomeGadgetGuyYep very true!, surprisingly my watch 4 classic last all day. I end up with 50% before bed I don't use it for much mainly notifications like important messages or emails, nfc payments, the occasional circle pong, and music control. Other than that I just have it on raise to wake, I don't really use it for activity tracking too much and occasionally I'll go to sleep with it but it lasts quite a while. I've been looking at upgrading to the One Plus 12R so the new One Plus watch is a warm welcome!
I preordered this already, but i read in the specs that the smart mode battery life only applies when u use one of their pre installed watch faces, do u happen to kno how long it is when using a watch face that isnt one that already came with the watch?.. also the lack of rotating crown is heart breaking, makes u wonder why they even made the button look like a crown rather than just match the bottom one
Just bummed there's no LTE version. I'm definitely looking for that in my next watch as I'd love to not take my phone with me everywhere. A rotating crown would be nice as well for this price.
"I guess saying send doesn't send." STORY. OF. MY. LIFE. That said? Would I be able to replace O health with fitbit's step tracking and exercising set up? I'm in love with it since I got this pixel watch 2. That might be what holds me back from getting one if I'm stuck on O health.
This is why I'm mad at Google. They took core apps like WearOS and Fit, and then broke them, so every company needs a different app now. From just a little poking around, we can send data to health connect, but so far it doesn't seem that data from OHealth in Health Connect can be seen by FitBit. Fitbit only wants to pull data from a Pixel Watch.
@@SomeGadgetGuy well that answers that. I'll stick with the pixel watch 2. One plus made a pretty solid watch but Fitbit keeps me motivated to stay on track with workouts and works a LOT better than anything else I've tried.
@@majtechtingsMaybe Health Sync would work better? I'm not sure if they added OHealth to their list of supported apps but maybe someone could email them and request it? I know that app works to sync stuff between Samsung Health and Fitbit for me since Health Connect doesn't work anymore. However it still works just for Google apps like Fitbit and Fit.
Very, very nice to see a great android watch for a change. I really wouldn't have expected it from one plus but hey, there you go. I'm hoping this means a improved focus and vision at OP to become more competitive, especially against Nothing who are nipping at their heels I did find the OP12 lite disappointing with it's stupid macro camera. They should have either just stopped the price of the 11 and make it affordable or left off the macro but made sure the wide and ultra wide were top drawer. Also, wireless charging would have been nice. I think the Nothing 2a will eat that OP 12 lite for breakfast.
Nice video, this one looks like a keeper. Anyone else having trouble finding accessories for it though like cases and screen protectors? Thats my only worry here tbh
It's only just in pre-order now. I do NOT believe it will be as well accessorized as an Apple watch, but I think some basics will be covered once it starts shipping. I don't feel like I NEED to protect it like my Pixel Watch though.
Yup. Major issues trying to reign in the shutter speed on my camera, so every shot wouldn't have that banding from shutter sync. I hit a work out, then RAN upstairs to my office to get an elevated heart rate.
I dont like how it looks but it might perform very well with a one plus phone paired to it, I wanted a fold 4 with a watch 5 pro from samsung but the one plus open looks extremely well and perform very sell but the price is extremely high, I'll wait a couple of moths
No E-sim. That function drains the battery in hours on my Samsung. I guess I won't miss it. Nice feature but seldom used. And the rotating crown will be missed. Let's hope it can pick up hidden wifi network.
the only problem with it is not having the rotating crown. i typically like having a screen protector on my watch since i smack it into everything, but a sapphire glass is very enticing. to be fair, i could honestly get rid of my smartwatch and go with something like fossils hybrid, but the thing i love about smartwatches is nfc payments. not having to grab my phone or wallet, just a double tap on the watch button is beyond convenient.
YUP. I love those little applet interactions. It's why I still have a LITTLE grip on wearos still. If I could get speech to text on an RTOS, I think I'd probably leave. But I WOULD miss the payments.
Everything on the watch seems great except for the size. I have small wrists and the Galaxy Watch's 40mm option is perfect for me... anything else and I just look like a kid wearing his dad's watch. If they made a smaller size I'd consider one but for now it's a non-starter for me.
Yeah. I think after the crash and burn of their first watch, I think they need to focus on getting ONE good watch out the door, and THEN expand the line. Samsung has been playing that game since the old GEAR days. DItto Google. I wish they had a larger option. I get why they need to start off with ONE option because their first watch had some build issues.
I agree so much with you. The battery on WearOS stuck. This is a good start to fixing it but i need Amazfit Balance or Huawei watch 4 Pro battery or 2 weeks of charge. I'm still waiting on that.
I'm so glad more Android OEMs are finally going with WearOS. Its not a perfect OS, far from it, but the Platform fragmentation with everyone trying to sell their own OS has been such a big issue with Smartwatches.
It's HIGHLY unlikely that you'll see a full build of Android beat a basic RTOS fitness tracker battery any time soon. The Amazefits are GREAT, but it kills me that I can't do things like speech to text on them.
Type one diabetic here.. can you test to see if the watch can download "gwatch wear" and "wearable widgets" as this watch might be a game changer for diabetics..
OnePlus watch 1 had less than a year of support, and it's full of bugs. (owner of OnePlus watch 1) Idk who will want to buy a second generation with that attitude
It's not even a second gen product, it's another first because they've never released a WearOS watch. As for support, 1+ phones don't even get monthly updates. If Samsung only offers WOS updates quarterly what's 1+ going to do? Bi-annually? Annually? Or will they be like Mobvoi who promise an update only to drag it out for years after the release window and release confusing statements over which models will actually get said update.
The hybrid Wear/ realtime OS thing is genius. It's like big and little core cpus on the software side
Imagine how good the battery life would be if they combined that with TicWatch's dual display technology. Youd get over a week of battery life in default mode and 3-4 weeks with Low Power Mode.

134bpm? Did you just come back from training?
Yup. Major issues trying to reign in the shutter speed on my camera, so every shot wouldn't have that banding from shutter sync. I hit a work out, then RAN upstairs to my office to get an elevated heart rate.
@@SomeGadgetGuynice
can it change to chinese?
I dont like how it looks but it might perform very well with a one plus phone paired to it, I wanted a fold 4 with a watch 5 pro from samsung but the one plus open looks extremely well and perform very sell but the price is extremely high, I'll wait a couple of moths
Will this watch work with Samsung
Any droid devices except Apple 🍏🍏
NFC?
No E-sim. That function drains the battery in hours on my Samsung. I guess I won't miss it. Nice feature but seldom used. And the rotating crown will be missed. Let's hope it can pick up hidden wifi network.
I have E-sim on the Apple Ultra watch 2 and it gives me more then four days.. That's why i'm not a fan of Android watches..
@@Tha-King-Arthur That's kind of cheating. Battery save mode gives 72 hours for the Apple Ultra. 36 hours full use of battery.
@@jorgenquiding2334 nah.. It gives me 4,5 days with everything on.
batteries dont need to be small, battery did last up to 20 days
😮 this looks good. Might have to replace my galaxy watch 5
It's real pretty.
Can connect to iphone?
No
Does it have Google pay
Yup. Supports payments and membership cards
I always switch out the stock watch band, but I haven't seen what size fits the OP Watch 2. I'm guessing 20mm?
Oh I showed it on camera.
22mm
@@SomeGadgetGuy1:27 ah yes I didn't see it printed on the strap
Does this have Google pay and google wallet integration ?
Yup! It's proper Wear OS 4
@@SomeGadgetGuycan I use Google pay on this watch while not having my phone in my pocket?
the only problem with it is not having the rotating crown. i typically like having a screen protector on my watch since i smack it into everything, but a sapphire glass is very enticing. to be fair, i could honestly get rid of my smartwatch and go with something like fossils hybrid, but the thing i love about smartwatches is nfc payments. not having to grab my phone or wallet, just a double tap on the watch button is beyond convenient.
YUP. I love those little applet interactions. It's why I still have a LITTLE grip on wearos still. If I could get speech to text on an RTOS, I think I'd probably leave. But I WOULD miss the payments.
@@SomeGadgetGuy so stuff like GPay is working fine in the US? I know the first watch did not have NFC payments in the US region.
is it possible to connect with IOS ?
Not compatible with Apple 🍏🍏
No speakers built-in?
Everything on the watch seems great except for the size. I have small wrists and the Galaxy Watch's 40mm option is perfect for me... anything else and I just look like a kid wearing his dad's watch. If they made a smaller size I'd consider one but for now it's a non-starter for me.
Yeah. I think after the crash and burn of their first watch, I think they need to focus on getting ONE good watch out the door, and THEN expand the line. Samsung has been playing that game since the old GEAR days.
DItto Google. I wish they had a larger option. I get why they need to start off with ONE option because their first watch had some build issues.
What a missed opportunity with the fake crown. I really hope they can still make it functional via a software update.
Not possible
Nice timepiece doesn't look super small like the pixel watch 1 & 2
That's the complaint for some, that there isn't a smaller option too.
@@SomeGadgetGuy well this option for me is great, I'll choose this watch over the pixel
I agree so much with you. The battery on WearOS stuck. This is a good start to fixing it but i need Amazfit Balance or Huawei watch 4 Pro battery or 2 weeks of charge. I'm still waiting on that.
Yeah, Google really screwed over Mobvoi, who stitch with them through the lean years.
Speaker quality?
Must be stellar
Not a fan of how that strap sticks out on the top , samsung straps tuck in nearly on the back
Switching the strap is easy. I might go to my maroon leather strap.
After surviving on the first OnePlus Watch, I'm immediately grabbing this and I'm not going back 😊
Kind of reminds me of the old Motorola watch 1 😜👌🔥🔥
Nice looking Watch! Tnx!
It's so pretty.
@@SomeGadgetGuy"thanks for Watching" lol.
i like the watch, but im afraid of buying a chinese watch
Great review. Mine is on the way 😂
Did i see lte on this watch? 🤔
Like but, too big for my wrist. Please make a 42mm or 43mm. I have to pass for now.
I'm so glad more Android OEMs are finally going with WearOS. Its not a perfect OS, far from it, but the Platform fragmentation with everyone trying to sell their own OS has been such a big issue with Smartwatches.
NFC имеется?
Yes
O bought first one ... And now im not sure to buy it
I still can't put down my Amazefit GTS 3 with 2 weeks of battery life... I thought it was this one but no.. maybe watch 3 xD
It's HIGHLY unlikely that you'll see a full build of Android beat a basic RTOS fitness tracker battery any time soon. The Amazefits are GREAT, but it kills me that I can't do things like speech to text on them.
I will tell my kids this was Pixel Watch 2
Damn, it's huge
I just want the watch faces on my galaxy watch 😂
"maybe I won't leave wear os after all" Staples RT OS watch to Wear OS to make it usable LMAO
LOL YUP!
Ohealth stands for Oppo Health 😊
Type one diabetic here.. can you test to see if the watch can download "gwatch wear" and "wearable widgets" as this watch might be a game changer for diabetics..
OnePlus watch 1 had less than a year of support, and it's full of bugs. (owner of OnePlus watch 1)
Idk who will want to buy a second generation with that attitude
It's not even a second gen product, it's another first because they've never released a WearOS watch. As for support, 1+ phones don't even get monthly updates. If Samsung only offers WOS updates quarterly what's 1+ going to do? Bi-annually? Annually? Or will they be like Mobvoi who promise an update only to drag it out for years after the release window and release confusing statements over which models will actually get said update.
It’s basically a oppo watch just round
