OnePlus Watch 2 vs. Galaxy Watch 6: Both built to last, but in different ways

A more stylish, 100-hour OnePlus Watch 2 can't dethrone the Galaxy Watch 6, with its One UI Watch polish and better sensors.

Samsung's One UI Watch interface, combined with Wear OS 4, is incredibly popular, while OnePlus relies on a hybrid system that uses its own proprietary RTOS for background tasks to save on battery.
