OnePlus made a rocky debut in the smartwatch world in 2021 with its first model, which was chock-full of bugs and lacked many features that rivals boasted.
After a few years away from the scene, the ‘Never Settle’ brand is back with the follow-up model, the OnePlus Watch 2. Thankfully, there’s been a major shake-up in the software, with the latest wearable sporting the latest edition of Google’s Wear OS instead of the firm’s own effort. Though it’s a big step forward from the OnePlus Watch, the build may not suit everyone – it certainly wasn’t for me.
DESIGN
The Fluororubber strap comes in either Black Steel or Radiant Steel, which matches the colour options that the OnePlus 12 comes in, a nice touch if you’re in the OnePlus ecosystem.
The chassis is made from silver stainless steel, giving the watch a premium look and feel. However, make sure you wipe down the device now and again, as this shiny material is prone to picking up fingerprints… and that’s not the only downside to a stainless-steel build.
At 12mm thick and a weight of 49g (sans strap),to wear as other models, and the strap is not a great fit for me.
