OnePlus Watch 2
Unparalleled efficiency
The OnePlus Watch 2 blows past the old 80-hour standard of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro for a Wear OS watch. Now that it has proper Play Store apps and Google Assistant, the Watch 2 gives Android watch fans a new option to consider. That said, it still uses OnePlus' own proprietary software behind the scenes, with some problems as a result.

Wear OS polish & Fitbit tools
Google lent its expertise to the OnePlus Watch 2's software, but its best Wear OS experience is still reserved for its own Pixel Watch 2. If you can accept the 24-hour battery life — and that's a big if, with the OnePlus Watch 2 overshadowing it — you'll prefer it for its superior health data and more effortless software tools.
For
- Light and comfortable design
- More polished Wear OS software
- Better/ more health & sleep data
- Only LTE option
Against
- Small, thick-bezeled display
