This video was made in collaboration with OnePlus
So this is the brand new OnePlus Watch 2 and much like other OnePlus products, this boasts some wildly impressive specs, including very fast charging, a 100 hour battery life in smart mode, dual chips for faster and more efficient processing, dual band GPS for superior accuracy, and other exciting features. In essence, this watch aims to fix the smartwatch. Let’s be honest, smartwatches have struggled to overcome some serious hurdles like “all day battery” for example.

That's a pretty lengthy and detailed review my man. Good job.
Exactly the kind of review I would hope to find for EXACTLY this comparison. Thanks!
I have a GW5 I cant stop using (loved my PW2 experience) simply because of the sapphire glass and style.
I JUST saw a random Reddit about the ONEPLUS Watch 2 and thought, "Hmm... 100 hours of battery with moderate use, when I'm already getting ~50 from my GW5...?".
THEN I saw you open the Play Store @8:15 and I was pretty much sold on performance.
The watch has a somewhat vintage feel with the cylinder where the buttons are located.
Great video Mike,thanks for taking the time to do this. Also, BTW, nice golf swing!😊
This is a really comprehensive review. I have been in a test group for the Watch 2 and tested it for a while. This is very representative for the Watch 2. Great work man😁
Great review! I liked how you focused on training, other reviewers really dropped the ball on that element. Well done, thanks!
Been waiting for your review.
Definitely great watch!
I've had the the OP Watch 2 for a couple of days now and really like it. Battery life is great and it's really comfortable to wear. My main use case for it is as a HR monitor for the Peloton Bike and it works perfectly for that. In the Peloton watch app it automatically detects when a workout is about to start on the bike and ends when the ride ends. HR monitoring works just as well as the dedicated Peloton chest strap HR monitor. The instruction manual is pretty bare bones, so you need to figure most stuff out on your own, but so far the watch is great.
I switched to Garmin after the galaxy watch. Samsung makes one hell of a watch. I did construction and smashed it rebar, concrete and dropped it off the roof. Wore it for almost 4 years. Battery life was my one complaint.
So what's your point?
@@MrCougar56i guess good but bad watch
Good but battery suck
I would agree with that for sure. I had a Galaxy watch classic that handled tons of abuse and lasted years. Now I have the Galaxy Watch 4 classic and it is just as tough. Charge it every day but I charge my phone too so big deal accept it makes it harder to use it fit sleep unless I charge it when I get home before I go to bed.
@@911blackadderyes, battery suck but i simply charge when working
That's a cool watch! I like my Watch 6 47mm Classic and it is also stainless steel so that makes the durability statement more even. I also get terrific battery life. Between 2.5 and 3 full days. I might consider the One Plus though some day. Mighty fine looking watch.
Gonna get the watxh 6 44mm next week
Great review! I have a GW6, and often use it while lifting at the gym. I usually use the "Other" workout. Curious what you use and what you've found to be best for weightlifting. Thanks!
Nice watch, but it's too big and not having a tactile UI navigation option like a crown or bezel are major deal breakers.
Did you play music on to your watch (as a standalone) during workout sessions or runs / hikes because it draws extra power.
Hey Mike, is a review on One Plus 12 on the way?? if not, i'd really like to see a review from you because i do value your opinions more than any other channel out there, i see you have the phone already so..really hoping on a review!! also I love this one plus watch totally a bang for your bucks.
4 torx screws secure the bottom case to the watch. That means, you can replace the battery.
What phone did you use to vlog, Mike?
Thanks for the detailed review. Wanted to buy a watch 6 classic but the Exynos chip stopped me from buying it with mediocre battery life. Finally decided to buy this partly due to its good Battery life and wear os integration.
Love ur videos Mike😍😍
Thank you!

Mike ! I'm always watching good your videos. From your South korean fan
How do u get Spotify to play from the watch? When I hit watch in the app it says pair new device?
you have to pair headphones
Can you get any functionality for your camera with the oneplus watch? I loved that about the samsung, would set my phone up and take pictures or videos right from the watch.
Does the app sync with strava? Thanks!
Do you like the one plus watch 2 more or your Venu 3 more?
Great video. I'm using a Amazfit GTR4 at the minute but it doesn't have goggle pay, but it has membership cards using bar cards and qr code. Does the new oneplus watch have membership cards.😊
Yes, you can add them in Google Wallet.
which phone did you pair it with? i want to know how it would interact with the Galaxy S24U or Pixel 8 Pro
All features of the watcg work on all phones
When not using a workout mode it seems to take forever for the heart rate sensor to realize iv been moving,If i run up stairs it stays at for example 70 bpm but takes a good 20 seconds to adjust to the higher bpm when im at the top.. Another question i have is why does the heart rate not change when i have the AOD on,i have to press the screen then it jumps to the new bpm
Is the always on display activated on OnePlus? What battery difference would that make?
I have the watch 2. For me it took about a day off the battery life from 4 to 3 days approximately
This OnePlus watch 2 fit and finish is simply amazing. Wearing comfort and strap feel is just superb.
What's the SARs rating? Is all we need to know.
you are using AOD on Galaxy Watch and not on OnePlus! This is unfair when comparing the battery. 😅
For me on my Oneplus watch 2 it goes from 4 days to 3 days battery with the AOD activated
LMAO I own both. Using the same custom watch face on Facer, AOD, everything on, and the OnePlus easily doubles the life of the Galaxy 6. Don't be ridiculous.
Add to that the OnePlus is waaaaaaay better looking and it's a no-brainer.
@@pjaypender1009no rotating bezel, no deal.
Hey quick question , does the watch have a find my phone in the quick settings?
8:55
I can confirm that it does
yep
Excited about this one - ditto - pretty tired of charging a watch everday - wow $250? That's not bad at all - 👍
Is One Plus 2 watch makes good smart watch/fitness tracker within One Plus eco system or did you have similar experience with any Android? I would like to try One Plus 2 watch with an android phone I have with me but do not want spend on phone too. BTW, I am in to Apple and Garmin ecosystems :)
Works great with any Android phone. I'm using it with a Samsung S24U.
Can this watch connect to a Motorola Razr 2023?
from all the people who've tested this against actual scientific equipment, it on par with it's competition in terms of tracking. would love to see it up against a garmin though. That being said however, im amazed at the interface of the companion app. Oneplus really took their time building up O health and making sure this watch was NOTHING like it's predecessor. I'll wait a year or so till it goes down to $250 and then buy it, but even at $300 it's remarkable value for money given it's amoled display and battery life
Coming from gw (472) to gw6 (425), I miss the battery lasting a few days vs. a day. Noticed Op 2 is (500) mah battery.
Seems like a great watch, the one drawback is HR accuracy. Is it possible to pair an external HR monitor?
It's pretty accurate. If you really do want 100% accuracy, get an expensive device to measure your bpms, not a smartwatch that is not meant to do that as accurate.
@@NevvalthAll of Apple's watches are insanely accurate with all their health measurements. I don't understand why no Android watches are accurate
@@BLNKT. 2-3 times the price for that but trash battery
It's pretty accurate. I compared it to a dedicated chest strap HR monitor for the Peloton Bike and the readings are virtually identical.
Is the oneplus watch compatible with samsung exynos?
I replaced my galaxy watch 5 for opw2 and I feel it way better! Screen appears bigger, watch feels skinnier on my wrist and is more comfortable to sleep with. There is no huge gap under the wristband and battery is way better. Charger is better (usb-c and quicker).... I'm really happy with this product
Are you using it with a Samsung phone?
@@Bob_Squared23 no, OnePlus Open. But there is no benefit in using two op devices, and I'm happy with that... A device should work at his best always
@@IoSonoAndreaZ I'd imagine alarm and DND sync and certain things like bedtime mode would be exclusive to using it with an OP phone like how they are with a PW with Pixel or GW with Samsung, no?
@@Bob_Squared23 maybe only alarm sync
Is there any camera functionality like there was with the galaxy watch?
Mike great video as always. Unfortunately for the watch It could've been a great watch if the crown actually had a function. Just seems unfinished to me.
Galaxy watch 6 owner. Easily gets me through the day and still have 60 to 70 percent battery remaining. I don't mind charging it daily. I take it off before I go to bed so why not stick it on the charger.
Swap 4 one plus 2 watch chips runs like melting butter 🧈🧈 won't regret purchase on 5th day since I charged
@@polo-si2rs I was looking at that watch but it's way thicker than the galaxy. I like a slimmer watch.
My only gripe is the big bezel and pogo pin charging. Nice smartwatch.
Yes need bezeless display and USB Type-C charging with the next iteration
the puck has usb c? or do you expect the watch to have a usb port?@@bhushandoiphode
Battery on mine has been underwhelming. Im at 58% after fully charging it to 100% at 12PM yesterday. AOD is OFF. Graphics acceleration is OFF. Only using official watch face. The only thing I enabled was 02 monitoring during sleep tracking. Also noticed DnD and Bedtime Mode dont sync between my OnePlus 12 and cant figure that out. There is no way it can last 100 hours at this rate.
I did try AOD for about 30 minutes but its far too bright for use in dark settings and I cant make it lower so I left it off.
Edit: Checked battery settings. Apparently using the smallest text size was draining a ton of battery?
you can try to use normal size font
@@lubiazhu2040 I did change it after finding that. It was annihilating battery.
Any updates since then , bro now I'm invested to know more
@@malikhussain4983 its only dropped 5% since I put the font size back to default around 5 hours ago.
I am guessing the smallest font puts it into a higher resolution mode and doesnt allow the the smaller chip to take over.
I'm at day four and at 33 percent. AOD off but flip to wake on - Legit battery life.
Have Spotify signed onto the watch but I can play anything from it directly. Anyway I can listen to Spotify on the watch itself
What strap do you have on your galaxy watch 6?
Honestly, I don't remember where that came from but you can definitely find one like that on Amazon

I wonder if it will work this well on my pixel 8 pro
Can you review the one plus 12 phone!
Should compare it to watch 5 pro, not 6
The problem with the Samsung watch is you don't get all the features if you don't have a Samsung phone
Will the watchfaces from Play Store work?
Yes
Would you choose a OnePlus Watch2 or TicWatch Pro 6 if you already own a Galaxy Watch6 Classic?
You mean tic watch 5 pro the 6 pro not out yet 😂
@@blaxican_ yeah, you are right, all those number are mixed up. OP2, Galaxy 6, TicWatch 5. 😄
I have both watches and I will sell my Ticwatch Pro 5. There are many small details that makes the Oneplus watch 2 a better watch due to my opinion
review the oneplus buds 3
I know it’s sponsored but still a really nice breakdown. OnePlus seems to have a nice watch here.
Wrist based heart rate monitors are known to be less accurate.
Wonder how easily the black version would scratch
A comparison with apple watch ultra, one plus watch 2 and galaxy 5 pro will be nice
Premium but not on the price.
does it support esim?
No
Wear it properly and the heart rate will be similar. On the wrist, not on the radius bone.
Why rotating crown if not working? Maybe in a feature update !!!!
No, there isn't any mechanism inside the watch
Can the oneplus watch 2 connect with Samsung Health app?
No, only Samsung watches ...
It installs but doesn't work@@Hackology
@@timwitkowiak6831have you tried this?
Sadly, there is no LTE version ..
Can I used a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 with my pixel 8 pro? I thought it was a samsung only thing....
Yes, you can with some restrictions on the health app and camera app
Let's get confusion out... This watch supports the long battery life with some conditions. I couldn't consider this as replacement for my Galaxy watch 5 Pro. ESim, Samsung Pay ECG and many other features Samsung provides.
I think it is important to say what phone did you use to pair the watch. Because I'm sure there are differences between Samsung paired with OnePlus Watch. In my opinio it's great watch, BUT... The fact that you can't schedule DND or Sleep mode, don't have the option to sync your watch with Modes&Routines with an Galaxy S24 ultra is no go for me. And also you can't disable Daily Routines even if you deny acces to sensors for all sensors. So, I will return it. It's just incomplete
(2:15) Finally a CZcams dude that makes up his own mind and doesn't drive a stale stupid Tesla.
Mr. G......?
People still use keys to start their car? Lol
Good video. I have a PW2, nothing on this make me want to change but seems like a decent watch.
Nice video
If the Galaxy watch 6 didnt exist, I would totally get this
Can I pair this watch with my iPhone 14 pro max?
Nope only works on droid sorry
Will it also work with iOS?
No. Only for android phones
Garmin general go for close to a week without charging.
PLEASE do the Galaxy Fit 3
Battery sucks don't even waste your time😅 2 days with AOD and 4 days without, no workout just notifications. Advertised 13 days so I'm highly disappointed but considering I got it $30 off I'm still going to keep it.
@@jaquezcarter7018 how about their claim? they said 13 days battery life, is that a lie ?
@@mbsw28 complete lie. 2 days with always on display enabled and 4-5 days max with no always on display. I'm hoping an update fixes it.
Galaxy Fit 3 is just broken. Battery life is pretty good, but either after a few hours or a day or so heart rate data stops syncing and there's no fix. Resetting it and logging in and out and making sure everything is up to date doesn't resolve the issue and Samsung has no fix in sight. More focused on the Watch 7 release so that might be the real reason why it won't be released in the US. I'm in the US and I tried it twice but unfortunately had to send it back twice.
I just got one and it won't pair with my oppo find x7 ultra 🤦🤦🤦
X7 Ultra is China SKU without required Google Mobile Services integrated I think
Mike why are switching to one puls Watch like doesn't the watch6 classic bit better
You said Bangladesh. I am from here. Love from Bangladesh
❤ My Classic
98bpm avrg for lifting and you don’t even sweat.
Totally off topic here but has anyone ever told u that u sound like daniel tosh? Lol
Wawa hell yeah!!!
And that’s how you release a watch. Year after year, Samsung drops the ball when it comes to accuracy regarding health metrics and GPS. Ironically, they’re releasing a smart ring. I will probably go for the OP watch 2. Apple Watch is still king for fitness tracking on a smartwatch.
Cycling and oneplus auto stop? Samsung pause immediately, oneplus?
I wish you the money!! 💵💵
I don’t care for the apple watch due to lack of battery life. Does this work with Iphone at all?
Sadly it will not. WearOS watches no longer work with iPhones after the WearOS 3 update a few years ago

@@MikeOBrienMedia
That is thick bezel
Should have mentioned that you can’t use facer on the watch
Mine works fine with facer
Great review but this goes to show that Samsung watches are sub par. They need a snap dragon 🐉 not a tweaked low performance chip. I wont purchase another Galaxy watch without 32G, at least a 590 battery 🔋. Thanks again 👍
What made you ask for the weather of Bangladesh? Just curious since i’m from there and its so random.
Galaxy watch 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What's everyone's problem with the battery life of these smartwatches? If it gets me through the day without any problems, I don't really care. What counts for me is the operation, whether all the UI elements are easy to read and, above all, how accurately the sensors work. What good is 4 days of battery life if the heart rate monitor only shows nonsense?
You Americans don't know about huawei watches, those watches with 14 days autonomy?? What a pity of you
What happened to the heart rate test??? 👎
Is the one plus watch your favorite watch?
It depends on what I want from a watch. The OP watch 2 is great for everyday use. You gain battery life and charging speed but compromise the rotating bezel and HR accuracy during interval sprints.

The galaxy watch 6 has a 1.5 inch screen
You know its a paid review when you use as regular galaxy watch with aluminum body to compare with the best one plus smartwatch. The classic is also stainless steel and a sapphire glass screen.
9:42 surprised to hear Bangladesh! I am wondering Why this country came to your mind! I am from Bangladesh living in UK.
I am astonished to hear him asking the weather about Bangladesh. Thought about meeting him in person if he is here but alas!
Switched from samsung watch 6 to op watch 2. Samsung watch os is sluggish..whereas oneplus watch is smooth as hell
I pray you don't get Green lines !!😅
no lte. pass
I want to buy samsung watch but I dont have samsung phone..
Holy crap Samsung watches are still that slow?
