The OnePlus Father’s Day sale rages on through this week, but it’s time to give some love to the new OnePlus Watch 2. It landed earlier this year as a marked improvement over the previous iteration, is one of the nicest looking intelligent wearables on the market in my opinion, and it’s now at the best prices we have tracked post launch. Just after receiving a substantial update last month, Amazon is now offering the OnePlus Watch 2 in both colorways down at $249.99 shipped – that’s $50 off and the lowest price we have tracked there since release. While we are also tracking a new $80 all-time low on the latest OnePlus Buds 3, if you buy OnePlus Watch 2 directly from the site, you can score it down at $269.99 shipped with a FREE set of regularly $100 OnePlus Buds 3. So $50 in straight up savings from Amazon, or $130 off going direct, and that’s before the guaranteed $50 trade-on value. More details below.
I have said it enough times around here, but I’m a lover of pure, mechanical timepieces for the wrist, no heart rate tracking and fancy displays needed for me. While I do love an Apple Watch Ultra 2, there’s something about the more traditional look of the OnePlus Watch 2 that catches my eye – much like this potentially new edition that was recently spotted in the wild. While it is indeed a smartwatch in just about every way, and one could make an argument that it has a more modern look by comparison to traditional watches, the stainless steel chassis, sporty, almost-diver-like crown, and traditional-looking lugs really do it for me.
But again, this is a smartwatch and serious improvement over the last model, as detailed in our hands-on review. It delivers up to 100 hours of battery life in Smart Mode, a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen behind a 2.5D sapphire crystal face with a 5ATM and IP68 rating. Running Wear OS 4 you can “access the best of Google and over 100 sports modes, alongside essential functions like heart rate and sleep monitoring” and “insights into sleep patterns, stress levels, and a wide range of fitness metrics.”
