The esteemed tech company, OnePlus, has recently made a statement acknowledging the fact that they took a considerable three-year reflective pause following the launch of their first-ever smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch. This pause was taken for several reasons, one of the most significant being to focus on enhancing the battery life of the smartwatch’s successor, the OnePlus Watch 2. The company promises that this new model will be able to last up to an impressive one hundred hours when used in smart mode.
OnePlus, a company that originates from China, embarked on their journey in the smartwatch market in the year 2021. Their debut smartwatch came with a 1.39-inch display, housed within a casing made entirely of stainless steel and with a size neatly measuring up to 46 millimeters. In terms of software, the watch was unique in that it arrived with an operating system that was different from the one developed by the tech giant, Google.
Recently, the firm has announced the successor to this device, the OnePlus Watch 2. The unveiling of this new model is set to take place on February 26, as part of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona. While the new model retains some features from the previous model – such as the round layout of the display panel and the black body of the watch – it is set to operate on Google’s Wear OS.
As of now, OnePlus has not provided further specific details about the specifications of its latest release. However, they have given a hint that this model is designed to offer users maximum performance and a user experience that is centered around fitness.
Yes, OnePlus has admitted that this new model comes after taking a reflective pause of three years following the launch of the OnePlus Watch 1. The company has expressed more confidence in this product than ever before, as mentioned in a recent press release.
The company emphasized that this product is constructed on a foundation of significant advancements in both its ecosystem and technological capabilities. This will serve to provide users with an experience that has not only seen improvement but has also undergone a complete transformation.
The new model boasts an improved battery life, to the extent that it can last up to one hundred hours of autonomy when used in smart mode. In terms of design, it encapsulates both elegance and durability, with a chassis made of stainless steel and a sapphire crystal dial.
In addition to these announcements, OnePlus also revealed that the design language of the wearable will closely resemble that of the OnePlus 12 series. It will come in two color options: Black Steel (black) and Radiant Steel (silver).
