The OnePlus Watch 2R is the best budget Android watch I've tested, and now it's another $50 off


The OnePlus Watch 2R was a budget Wear OS watch done right, and it's a viable alternative to the Watch 3 43mm coming next month.

The downside is that it's quite heavy compared to the 2R, but OnePlus will launch a smaller Watch 3 43mm on July 8, though we don't know the official price or battery life yet. You can save $30 by subscribing to OnePlus's newsletter, so assuming the price hasn't changed, you must choose whether $319 for the best experience or $179 for the Watch 2R fits your budget. Of the two, the Pro 5 has comparable performance, display quality, and battery life, but Mobvoi's slow updates and lack of Google Assistant make it a little harder to recommend.
