New OnePlus smartwatch: the long-awaited 2024 update

After releasing its first smartwatch last year, which received mixed reviews due to its limitations, OnePlus is preparing to introduce the OnePlus Watch 2 in 2024. SSPDaily has told you what to expect from the new gadget in more detail.

Disadvantages of OnePlus Watch

The original OnePlus Watch had its share of mistakes and shortcomings. It was often criticized for looking more like an advanced fitness tracker than a real smartwatch.

While the gadget boasted good battery life and health tracking capabilities, its software was considered rudimentary and lacking in attention to detail. In addition, it was considered a low-quality Wear OS clone that lacked some important features.

Why OnePlus Watch will no longer be produced

However, OnePlus took the criticism into account and gradually worked diligently to eliminate the main shortcomings. Despite these improvements, the first-generation watch struggled to regain its popularity and was eventually discontinued. Unfortunately, it also did not receive any updates after the beginning of 2022.

News about OnePlus Watch 2

According to Max Jambor, OnePlus is actively developing the OnePlus Watch 2, which is scheduled for release in 2024. Expectations are high, and the company has hinted at a commitment to release a significantly improved product.

Details remain scarce, with the emphasis on making this device "better" than its predecessor, which will be a crucial step in restoring OnePlus' reputation in the smartwatch market.

Most users are interested in the operating system of OnePlus Watch 2. The previous model was built on the Wear OS platform, albeit with mixed results. Oppo, the sister company of OnePlus, has also experimented with Wear OS, mostly on square-shaped watches.

Now OnePlus is choosing whether to continue working with Wear OS or go independent.
