The OnePlus Watch 2R blew my low fitness expectations out of the water


Both of our OnePlus Watch 2 reviewers had problems with its fitness data; so far, the Watch 2R doesn't have those same issues.

With the original OnePlus Watch 2, our reviewer Harish complained that it "just isn't reliable at daily step counts or activity tracking," that it misjudged burned calories after workouts, and that its stress data was artificially elevated. It's difficult to say if OnePlus' dual-band accuracy is more or less reliable than Garmin's since both maps had me straying off the sidewalk at odd moments, but I appreciated that both fell into the same general ballpark for a run with some signal-blocking foliage. It has a comfortable weight for its display size, three-day battery life with Wear OS 4, Google Assistant, and a $229 price tag that I'd expect from an Amazfit watch — not something with proper app support.
