Oneplus Confirms Development Of Improved Oneplus Watch 2 Model

Successor to original smartwatch, OnePlus Watch 2 promises to 'do it right'.

OnePlus has officially announced the development of the OnePlus Watch 2, a successor to its original smartwatch. The company aims to rectify the shortcomings of its first iteration with a promise to 'do it right' this time around.

The unveiling of the OnePlus Watch 2 is scheduled to take place at the upcoming MWC tech show, set to run from February 26 to February 29. A rendered teaser image of the watch reveals a sleek design featuring a round face and two side buttons, available in two color options - Black Steel and Radiant Steel. The watch boasts a stainless steel casing and a Sapphire crystal screen protection, ensuring durability and a premium look.

One of the standout features of the OnePlus Watch 2 is its impressive '100-hour battery life,' positioning it between traditional smartwatches with longer battery spans and more advanced models like Wear OS and Apple Watch devices. This extended battery life is likely to attract attention, especially if the watch offers full Wear OS functionality.

OnePlus President hints at significant technological advancements and a shift towards becoming an 'ecosystem builder' with the OnePlus Watch 2. The promise of a transformed user experience suggests a focus on innovation and improvement over its predecessor.

Reflecting on the original OnePlus Watch, its shortcomings primarily stemmed from malfunctioning GPS tracking, rendering outdoor exercise tracking unreliable. Despite its attractive design, long battery life, and competitive pricing, the first watch failed to deliver on its core functionalities.

With the OnePlus Watch 2, OnePlus aims to learn from past mistakes and deliver a smartwatch that meets user expectations. By addressing key issues and focusing on enhancing the overall user experience, the company is poised to make a significant impact in the smartwatch market.
