OnePlus Watch 2 review: An easy-to-use smartwatch with long battery life

OnePlus has made another attempt to secure its place in the smartwatch market. The company has already succeeded very well at this with the OnePlus Watch 2. The device scores excellent results in many areas and is therefore one of the best smartwatches available in its price category.

OnePlus launched a very interesting smartwatch at the beginning of this month. It's about OnePlus 2 watch. This device looked very promising at the presentation, and after using it for a few weeks, our opinion hasn't changed.

We'll start right away with the best feature of the OnePlus Watch 2: the battery. In this area, the OnePlus Watch 2 leaves the competition far behind. Thanks to a clever trick using two processors, the device is said to last for 100 hours under normal use. In practice, this appears to be not much inferior. Additionally, charging, which is practical using a magnetic charging cable, is also very fast.

design

Although a smartwatch should of course be useful, it's also important that the device looks nice on your arm. The OnePlus Watch 2 actually has an advantage in this regard. The device is available in silver or black, with a black or silver-blue band. We were able to test the silver version with a blue silver band.

At first glance, the OnePlus Watch 2 looks relatively large. This takes some getting used to when wearing it, because at first you feel the device on your arm. However, you get used to it very quickly, so it is not a big problem.

Uhealth

The most important functions of the OnePlus Watch 2 are brought together in the Ohealth app, which OnePlus shares with Opp. Setting up the smartwatch and connecting to the app is very easy. Watch 2 automatically starts collecting a lot of data about your health.

The device tracks your heart rate, as well as your stress level and oxygen saturation. You will automatically receive notifications if any violations are detected. You can also get a very detailed analysis of your sleep. It definitely ensures that the OnePlus Watch 2 far outshines its predecessor in terms of health.

an exercise

OnePlus focused heavily on training tracking while developing the Watch 2. This gives you the option to set up many different sports – more than 100 options – and start a session. By default, the smartwatch will track your training session based on your heart rate. This way you can then see what heart rate zones you were in during training and therefore how many calories you burned.

In addition, there are some sports that have additional features. This way, after running, you will receive an analysis of your running technique, which can be very useful for making progress, but also for preventing injuries. After badminton you will receive an analysis that shows you your strengths and weaknesses. The Watch 2 also shows you your longest career and number of hits. Tennis players are shown similar data, including the speed of their serve, and there's plenty of additional data available for skaters too. Unfortunately, no additional data is available for other sports.

Conclusion

The OnePlus Watch 2 is a huge improvement over its predecessor from three years ago. It is a very powerful, beautifully designed, high-quality smartwatch with many useful functions. Those who care about their health and exercise regularly should consider purchasing the OnePlus Watch 2. Moreover, no competitor can match its impressive battery life. Thanks to the very competitive price, the device is one of the most interesting options on the market for Android users.

The OnePlus Watch 2 is available at a price of 329 euros.
