Three years after launching its first smart watch, OnePlus continues with the second edition. And this time, the tech company promises to “do it right.”
The OnePlus Watch 2 will launch at the MWC show in Barcelona on February 26, 2024, so you don’t have long to wait. We don’t yet know the details regarding pre-ordering/purchasing the watch – they will likely be revealed after launch.
The title image shows the two colors the OnePlus Watch 2 will be available in: Black Steel and Radiant Steel. The names are inspired by the laptop’s steel chassis, paired with a round sapphire crystal dial.
These colors correspond to the options in which you can get the flagship OnePlus 12 smartphone – take a look at the Radiant Steel watch next to the Flowy Emerald version of the phone:

Hardware aside, the OnePlus Watch 2 is said to have an impressive battery life of 100 hours in “smart mode” – we imagine there will be different options available depending on whether you want to run the watch at its maximum performance levels or keep the juice.
Kinder Liu, COO and President of OnePlus, gave the following quote about the OnePlus Watch 2: “After a three-year hiatus and a pause for reflection after the OnePlus Watch 1, the Watch 2 has re-emerged, and we are more confident than ever. about this product.
“This confidence is not unfounded, it is based on substantial advances in our ecosystem and our technological capabilities. Watch 2 indicates our determination to move from “Flagship Killer” to “Ecosystem builder”.
The main criticism of the original OnePlus Watch was its buggy and unfinished software. OnePlus said it learned from its mistakes, which could indicate that this smartwatch runs on Google’s wearable operating system. Rumors about this have been circulating from leaker Max Jambor, who claims that the Watch 2 will run on Wear OS 4.
If true, that would make it a serious competitor to models like the Pixel Watch 2 and Galaxy Watch 6. Hold on tight, because we’re just days away from officially knowing if that’s the case when the OnePlus Watch 2 will make its official. debut under the Spanish sun.
