New OnePlus Watch 2 is different from the current one

OnePlus has just announced a new OnePlus Watch 2 smartwatch, and it’s different from the current one. Confused? Well, we’re not surprised. Let’s take it one step at a time.

The new OnePlus Watch 2 is different from the current (global) model

OnePlus announced the Watch 2 already, for global markets, and we reviewed it. That watch never launched in the company’s homeland, however. Well, now it did, but it’s not the same watch that was announced for global markets.

You will immediately notice that this device looks different. Its design is closer to that of other smartwatches, without any frame protrusions on the right-hand side. That’s not the only difference, but it’s the most notable one.

A circular display is included, while the watch comes in two colors

This watch still has a circular display, while there are two physical buttons on the right-hand side, which have a good placement. The watch comes with a silicone strap in two colors, green and black. The green one is combined with a silver watch, while the black one is combined with a black OnePlus Watch 2.

This watch also has a different case than the global model. It has an aluminum alloy case compared to the stainless steel model that was launched globally. Most of its specs are similar, but there are some differences compared to the global model.

There is a 1.43-inch AMOLED display included here

This OnePlus Watch 2 has a 1.43-inch 466 x 466 AMOLED display with a default maximum brightness of 600 nits, while its peak brightness is 1,000 nits. The Snapdragon W5 and BES2700BP processors are used here

OnePlus also included 2GB of RAM on the inside and 32GB of storage. ColorOS Watch 6.0 skin comes pre-installed, and the watch is compatible with both Android (8+) and iOS (13+).

The new OnePlus Watch 2 supports over 100 workout modes and is 5 ATM rated

The company included over 100 workout modes on the watch, and it also features automatic workout detection for 6 workouts. There are a bunch of sensors included here: acceleration, gyroscope, geomagnetic, optical heart rate, blood oxygen, ambient light, and barometer.

The watch is 5 ATM rated, while a 500mAh battery is included here. The company says you can get up to 4 days of use in smart mode and 12 days in Power Saver Mode. VOOC magnetic charging is used here, and it can fully recharge the device in an hour.

Bluetooth 5.3 is supported here, while the watch does come with a speaker. The new OnePlus Watch 2 measures 47.6 x 46.6 x 12.1mm, and weighs 37 grams.
