OnePlus Watch

The OnePlus Watch 2R looks like it could be a budget watch done right; rather than ditching the tech that makes the OnePlus Watch 2 so special, it instead swapped out the material for something a little more affordable, whilst also managing to be more...

Fantastic battery life ; Massive, bright screen

Uninspiring design ; Only 14-workouts can be tracked ; Very basic app functionality ; You can get better fitness trackers for less

Week-long battery life Sleek design Bright display and nice interface

No facility to add apps Software glitches Only basic fitness tracking

The OnePlus Watch is a great first smartwatch from OnePlus, blowing pricier rivals away in a couple of key areas, with sleek looks and week-long battery life. However, with a bespoke operating system it can’t load more than the preinstalled selection...

Minimalist design with large watch face ; Comfortable on the wrist ; Plenty of fitness / health tracking features ; Syncs well with OnePlus Health app ; Battery life is good and recharge time is fast ; Much more affordable than Apple Watch

Watch strap easily collects detritus ; Accuracy of step counting unknown ; Small amount of Watch Faces to choose from ; Doesn't look markedly different from rivals

If the Apple Watch is the smartwatch industry's flagship product, then the OnePlus Watch is a great first attempt at a flagship killer, which is what the Chinese brand first became known for with its mobile phones. The OnePlus Watch doesn't dethrone...

Very smooth design Huge display

Only size may be too large for some Haven't tested fitness

The OnePlus Watch looks very attractive for its price, but until we are able to test the watch in any way, we’ll have to reserve our judgment on the brand’s first big foray into smartwatches.

Stainless steel case ; Waterproof to 50m ; Flexible and easy-to-use strap ; Long battery life

Too big for some wrists ; Unreliable GPS and step counting ; Basic smartwatch features ; No always-on display ; No contactless payment ; Only supports Android

The frustrating thing about this watch is that it just feels unfinished. Sure, it looks pretty enough and battery life is great, but it's incredibly unreliable as a fitness tracker - so, at launch, not fit for purpose.

Affordable ; Excellent battery life ; Lightweight design ; Solid fitness tracking

Downgrade in case material and screen protection ; Only one size

The OnePlus Watch 2R might get a downgrade in design materials, but it offers a cheaper and lighter way to get a solid-performing Wear OS smartwatch on your wrist.

– Awesome battery life and a stunning screen

— Overpriced, with an insipid design and basic functionality

The OnePlus Watch is a disappointing package given the price and the company behind it. Even though the battery life is good, as is the screen, it only delivers basic functionality overall and you’d be better off considering something like the Honor...

Up to 14-day battery life ; Supports on-watch music ; Stainless steel casing

Faulty GPS ; Poor handling of outdoors exercise metrics

The OnePlus Watch may be a good buy one day, but a few weeks after its launch it is not.

Premium design & build ; Long battery life ; Solid hardware

Unfinished software ; Unreliable tracking ; No smaller size

On the surface, the OnePlus Watch is a premium smartwatch in design and hardware at an affordable price. However, it’s severely let down by its frankly unfinished software.
