The first smartwatch from OnePlus failed to make a lasting impression. To compete in the crowded smartwatch market, a brand needs to stand out. The recently unveiled OnePlus Watch 2 seems to address the original’s shortcomings, particularly in battery life.
The OnePlus Watch 2 boasts an impressive battery life of up to 100 hours in full Smart Mode, setting it apart from competitors that sacrifice features for longer battery life. This focus on battery performance is crucial as companies emphasize sleep tracking capabilities and a minimum of 24-hour battery life for a seamless user experience.

The smartwatch market continues to evolve, with companies like Apple and OnePlus pushing the boundaries of battery life. The OnePlus Watch 2 offers up to 100 hours of regular use, and 48 hours under heavy use, thanks to its Dual-Engine Architecture that optimizes battery performance.
Google’s Wear OS team collaborated with OnePlus to enhance the smartwatch experience, allowing seamless switching between low power and high-performance modes for extended battery life.
The OnePlus Watch 2 features two chips—the Snapdragon W5 and BES 2700 MCU—to maximize battery efficiency. With a Power Saving Mode that disables non-essential features, the device offers a balance between functionality and battery life.

Unlike competitors, the OnePlus Watch 2’s Power Saving Mode restricts certain features to preserve battery life. This approach makes the device a practical choice for users prioritizing battery longevity.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is available for pre-order at $300, indicating a shift towards a higher price point compared to its predecessor. With shipping starting next month, OnePlus aims to appeal to consumers seeking premium features in a smartwatch.
