OnePlus entered the smartwatch space with the first-gen OnePlus Watch. But the company oversold the “smart” in smartwatch, as the first-gen device ran on a simpler RTOS platform without an app store. Three years later, the company is back with a true smartwatch with Wear OS, but surprisingly, it isn’t letting go of RTOS either. This is the OnePlus Watch 2, and its unique dual-architecture setup and massive battery help it become the Ultra smartwatch on the Wear OS side of things.
The highlight of the OnePlus Watch 2 is certainly its dual-engine architecture. It comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip alongside a BES2700 co-processor. The Snapdragon powers Wear OS 4 on the watch, while the co-processor handles RTOS functionality in power-saving mode.
