OnePlus Watch 2R review: NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

What's your smartwatch of choice (and why)?

[@lolakay9303]

Apple watch for iphone. The best watch ever. Samsung watch for Samsung phones. Still searching for a decent watch for non-Samsung Android phones. Thank you for the review! Gonna buy this one or OnePlus watch 2.

[@MrBblack92]

Is there a delay when you want to watch the notification? Saw something about the processor change that needs to kick in

[@MrWinger1951]

Hopefully you will be one of the first on YT to get access to the very soon to be released Garmin Fenix 8.

[@mohamedabdelsalam6094]

Great review Could you make a comparison between Galaxy watch 6 classic & OnePlus watch 2?

[@mellymoo_eats]

Currently using a Whoop band, only gripe is that it doesn't count your steps. But I'm used to not having that feature.

[@terrym540]

A comparison, especially re battery life, with a Huawei watch would have been interesting.

I have to say your review for the OnePlus Watch 2R is one of the best and unbias ones I've seen so far and I want to commend you for that. As a Android/Linux fanboy myself. And with Android entering the smartwatch market first....The Apple Watch is a masterpiece. And I still feel it's a shame it took Samsung, Motorola, Google and other makers to come try and play catch up to something they started. I'm not afraid to admit, although I can't use it as a Google Pixel Pro owner, I have an Apple Watch to admire. I needed a watch that was good, and wasn't a Google Pixel as I feel....it's still not what I want it to be. OnePlus stepped in, and gave me the 2R, yea the OnePlus Watch 2 is pretty much the same aside from aesthetics. But it's not attractive, the 2R is attractive and with a case and different band options (which I have) I'm liking this more than my Pixel Watch Series 1, and this is bigger without having to get the new Pixel Watch 3, and pay more. 47mm vs 45mm I'm happy with the watch 2r and I enjoyed your review.

So if I have an iPhone, can I connect it in such way to see my notifications on the watch, and also still track my fittness on my phone?

[@casualobserver9113]

Oneplus makes good stuff. I’m undecided between them and Samsung for my next phone/watch.

[@StevenCottrell-o2w]

If I didn't have the watch 6 classic 47mm,I would buy this oneplus watch and wait till February,March time and buy the oneplus open 2.i hope that answers your question😊

[@microzoom]

The user experience of Samsung watches is very unsatisfactory.

[@jamesw657]

I cannot possibly stress enough just how amazing the OnePlus 12 is for a phone. Hands down the best phone I've ever owned, and it has the exact same specs as the Galaxy 24 ultra, but for significantly less money. In fact it actually has more storage and more RAM then that phone. Amazing screen, incredible battery life, charges from 0 to 100 in about 30 minutes flat, and it even has faster wireless charging than the wired charging on Samsung and Apple phones. I simply cannot recommend this phone enough, it has been flawless for me over the last 6 months. The only thing you're really missing are AI features, but OnePlus says they will be bringing them to the phone eventually, and honestly I couldn't care less about those because everything else about the phone is PERFECT

Oneplus

[@garrisonbennett2693]

When you said that when you woke up the next morning it was still at 62% battery, did you take it off overnight? Or did you wear it while you slept? Every time I hear viewers talk about how long watch batteries last, I feel like they never specify that. I might be different, but I just prefer not to wear mine to sleep, but I know lots of people like to use it for sleep tracking and wonder how much of a difference that makes!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

As I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the review, it was used for sleep tracking, so of course it was on my wrist overnight.

[@garrisonbennett2693]

@@MarkEllisReviews Gotcha! Sorry, I must’ve missed that when listening the first time 🤦‍♂️ but thanks for clarifying, and another fantastic review! 💪

[@reineroberhaus]

sadly it has no Esim :(

[@OriginalJayMax]

If I am an iPhone user looking for an alternative, how viable is the One Plus for me?

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Very.

[@video-carl]

Thanks. The 2 ignored rotations of its crown. What's that like on the 2R?

[@Tekz12]

He says in the video..

[@video-carl]

Re-watched: the 2R doesn't have a crown.

[@rickyrickstan563]

0:25 for those who dont know, that watch costs over 3000 dollars

[@aidyncherlet8613]

Is it possible to change the bezel?

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Nope.

[@Mambo360]

Nice watch not available in Australia though

[@ssawesome1032]

Can find it on Kogan

[@adityavishwanathan5259]

Great content!!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thanks!

[@viktr9726]

“Tech reviews for normal people” 😂😂😂 love that

[@johntaylor5408]

What’s happened to the Vlogs? It’s all gone quiet since u stopped doing the editing yourself!

[@Tekz12]

Where this watch falls flat is the supporting software. It's barebones.

[@darpinian1]

It's wearOS. What is it you're trying to do that you can't do?

[@Tekz12]

@@darpinian1 have you seen all the health and wellness features other manufacturers are now offering on their platforms? In 2024 it's not really enough to just be like hey we have a piece of hardware that will let you run WearOS all day finally. What is it that Wear OS let's you do that other platforms don't?

[@darpinian1]

@@Tekz12 So you're the target customer. If what you're after is wellness and health features at the forefront then you're wanting a Polar or Garmin watch. For the average user, they may lift weights or go for a jog every now and again... WearOS is great for this. They want connectivity to use tap to pay, Google maps, access to Hey Google and their smart home as well as total access to their phones... But from their wrist. That is the point of this or any WearOS watch. The Chinese companies have been using proprietary OS for a while... This is an important watch because it's a Chinese watch that anyone can use. You just don't happen to be the target customer... And that's fine.
