OnePlus Watch 2: From zero to hero and with room to improve


OnePlus launched one of the worst watches ever in 2021, so I was beyond shocked to test the new OnePlus Watch 2, which beats Google in almost every respect.

The original OnePlus Watch was powered by Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), which was perfectly fine as many smartwatches run lean and mean. Screenshot by Matthew Miller/ZDNETThe OHealth app and OnePlus Watch 2 support the tracking of your heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, sleep, workouts, and more. There is no option for cellular connectivity, the single 47mm diameter with 80 grams of weight isn't the best for people with smaller wrists, there is no support for fall detection, there is no capability to control a OnePlus phone camera from the watch (this is coming in a future update), women's health-tracking features are not present, ECG readings cannot be captured by the watch, and there is no skin-temperature sensor.
