For a moment I thought you were going to say all the processing was done on the connected phone and the watch was a just a screen outputting stuff... that would be stupid wouldn't it?

[@skibidabndada6683]

I think the Delay would be the big problem. A Signal to the phone and Signal back would take way too Long

[@Ignacio.Romero]

Yes, that would drain your phone and watch batteries having to constantly stream video between them, not to mention the delay

Battery is a major parameter while buying a smartwatch, kudos to Oneplus for building something like this, it's great to see how it all started for them with Oneplus Watch 1 and how it's going right now.

[@4161moon]

Exact. What holds me back from buying an iWatch is their useless battery time. I won’t buy it until it last at least two days.

[@afk71afk36]

I would also say battery is major for smartphones, together with price. How can Apple continues with Pro series (not Max) that are so poor in terms of battery, recharging time and price? I got one plus 12, I have 14 Pro, seems to see the present future and past. For people that are tech enthusiast and want to have new product every 1-2 years and a great price performances, Chinese products are the only way. One Plus is making everything too good for the price. No way.

i bought this thing the day of launch not knowing a single thing about it, as my first smart watch ever just cause If what OnePlus is doing with their phone and new earbuds are anything to go by, this should be a really great piece of hardware as well.

They're not real "smartwatches" though. The thing that drains battery in these smartwatches are WearOS and WatchOS which huawei GTs don't have. A watch that I know that have WearOS and can last for weeks are ticwatch pro 3 ultra, which advertised can last 3 days in smart mode and >a month in "essential mode" (time, heart rate monitor, step counter, etc. And thanks to it's dual screen display). I was gonna get it but unfortunately their software supports seems unreliable.

[@igorsantos07]

​@@k.vn.k(1) you definitely have spare cables on your house, in case the original cable snaps (2) you can swap for a longer cable without having to resort to workarounds in case you need a longer connection to charge your watch comfortably (3) less resources if you need to replace the charger - you still have some spare cables, right? haha

[@FrotLopOfficial]

I really wish someone would make a newer generation watch that uses Transflective display technology. My Amazfit Bip lasts 45 days before charging is needed because it draws very little power because the screen can be viewed in the sun, in fact the brighter it is outside the better it works. And it is backlit for night use.

[@troycampbell1781]

[@Alias_Anybody]

It may not be the same tech but the concept is very similar to e-ink displays. Zero idea why nothing uses that any more.

[@griffin8062]

Agreed. I miss my Pebble 2. Seems like the Garmin Instinct is the best replacement for it

[@michaelwilson9557]

Ihave the Amazfit T-rex2 for over a year now. It does not have the option for answering calls or replying messages. But I got over 7 days with all options on. And if I turn off always on display and th option to show the notification when I turn my hand I can reach to 20 days without charging. And it is tracking my workout, my sleep.

Sadly, people always think they need a high res OLED and a whole ass Android running on their smartwatches....

don't forget that this watch can withstand up to 5 ATM. It's perfect for freediving. My only negatives for this watch are: - does not play nice with Samsung security -- had to uninstall my work email on my phone - workout tracking doesn't count individual reps Otherwise it's great.

I charge my Forerunner (295, I think?) once a week. That’s with about 4-6 hours of exercise tracking (cycling or running) with in-watch GPS. I don’t use it for music playback though, so I don’t know how much that would drain it. I personally could not and would not use a watch that I had to charge every day.

[@annakissed3226]

How important is the Display? As the newest EL & colour transreflective eink displays look like standard TFT albeit not with a 1000 nits.

Slap an OxfordPV translucent solar cell on the screen as well and in sunny states you may never have to charge it

[@MarcThomas]

Excited to see some progress in the smartwatch market in terms of actually usable battery life. But I’d be remiss not to point out that long battery life on smart watches is not new. Garmin, Coros and others measure in weeks and sometimes months with always on MIPs displays. And even their OLED models tend to be 6+ days in always on mode. They just don’t run Android Wear or WatchOS. Which may be part of the reason they are so good!

[@mbazoka]

Thing is, watches not running WearOS kinda all "suffer" from laggy or straight up unresponsive UIs. And when your smartwatch freezes up when you're trying to reply to a notification, it leaves a bad impression on the consumer. Apple Watch might not be the battery champ - but that thing is hard-coded to display at 60fps at all times, and jumping through the UI has that classic Apple-certified smoothness.

[@JL1]

@@mbazokaIs there a need for sixty fps at all times though? Especially on an ultra watch that is marketed as having life saving features and being very rugged, when you’re stuck in the woods you probably dont care about your fps but you carry about having days or weeks of battery life

[@mbazoka]

@@JL1 The "need" is there in the sense that anything less is just not smooth. And if it's not smooth, then it "hinders" the user's experience. Technology should be a pleasure to use, not a bother. Apple may have gone in the 'pleasure' direction too far, but you can't deny the results.

[@MarcWickens]

You mentioned the battery life was when using 'Smart Mode' - does this mean there's a 'use more power mode' that might make notifications appear more quickly at the expense of shorter battery life?

[@yon68]

I'm still on the first OnePlus watch and find it pretty good for the price at the moment I bought it. Snappy, light, battery life is excellent (12 / 20d in battery mode) and it makes everything I need a smartwatch to do : give me the moment of the day, buzz with notifications, track my sleep & fitnesses and count my steps ! Don't think i'm switching to the second one but hey, maybe in a few years !

[@VR_JPN]

I'm a little confused here. I've owned an Amazfit 2 for around 3 years, and charge it once a MONTH. Sure display not on all the time (why?) but it handles all the functions I need including notifications (the main reason I own it)... once a month! A real breakthrough would be kinetic charging from movement. Seriously, I thought the surprise was going to be something in the months, even a kinetic drive module to replace some of the battery.

[@BrandonGiesing]

Because the Amazfit isn't a "smartwatch" really, it's a glorified Fitness tracker in a smartwatch shape, can't do remotely near all the stuff actual smart watches can do like run full apps and games by 3rd parties. A Smartwatch is basically a full smartphone on your wrist, a fitness tracker only supports like a quarter of those functions but has the benefit of running a lower powered OS because it doesn't need to support all that stuff.

[@VR_JPN]

Yesssss oneplus !show em how its done.brilliant comeback

[@VitiateTheImmortal]

Preordered one yesterday 😊 so excited to try it. For now i use a galaxy watch 6 classic with my one plus 12

[@peterdnreynolds777]

It looks amazing - does it connect to Google apps and Google fit? do you have a review on the latest Google pixel watch on your channel please.

[@tyyoung7625]

Great review, bro! Very informative.

[@HalfDayHero]

Still aching for a nice analogue watch with the basic smart health functions built in and a basic complication for notifications (to then detail on your phone) I have a few analogue watches I love the look of - much much moreso than a boring smart watch which is just a soulless black disc on my wrist - but with analogue I immediately start missing all the functions of a smart watch.

[@charizard221]

So i have a question. I have had a Samsung Gear s3 since 2017 i still get 2+ days of battery life, use to be up to 4 or 5. What happened to smart watch batteries that make them so small now?

[@57dragon20]

Any insight on blood pressure sensing wearables, accuracy or effectiveness or what have you?

[@v1kytor]

I like what you did there with the hoodie advert 😅❤ brill stuff

[@snx70]

Is the OHealth app out yet? I can only find the old OnePlus Heath app in Play Store?

[@hvorostya]

You should check Ticwatch Pro 5 with two displays... Up to 8 days in real life. And with quick charge - if you are going to charge them during brushing your teeth it will always be around 90%. A lot of other cool features(like changing color of backlight according to your heartrate during exercises)

[@seanstr26m123]

Have you done a deep dive on an amazement GTR3 pro or the GTR 4 pro

[@michaelcady1945]

What i learn from one plus is that apple and samsung overprice their tech. Very soon im looking forward to getting the one plus 12 and the watch. Cant wait. Love all of your content bro!! Definitely my favorite! Just a request, would love to see more car/truck content.

[@KlosiakMK]

Finally someone (One Plus) mimicked Mobvoi and their approach used in the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra and 5 Pro. I am using Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra and I love its battery life. This One Plus Watch 2 is very interesting because of battery life.

[@MihkelKukk]

this is pretty cool, but I still got my Amazfit GTR2 and been running it for YEARS now, it just won't give up, and it does all that I need it to do but would still love an upgrade, prolly gonna run it till it dies but, don't see that happening for a while. It's been through hell and back.

[@SteveOh-ep9tw]

Maybe you should try out the Amazfit GTR4 to make sure the comparison setups are equivalent. I have a GTR3 and I don't use the "always on" feature. But I get 14 days between recharges.

[@AFriskyPigeon]

Currently have a TicWatch Pro 5 which has started to remind me every 5 minutes that it's having "sync" issues with the Mobvoi Health app, and refuses to let me fix it. Given I can return it, get this with some cool looking wireless earbuds AND have change, it's a no brainer. It sounds like this is a ridiculous step up over that one too as it will never look "cheap" which was the only mild gripe I had with the TicWatch's battery saving technique of having an LCD display over the OLED.

[@ryan_nstuff]

I've got a ticwatch Pro, that has dual screens. a normal oled plus an old school monochrome liquid crystal watch display for low power. If I could get that combined with this dual processor it'd be the greatest watch ever!

[@jbttravellita]

Hey Marques, what’s your Watch band ? 3:34 I’m loving the colors

[@simonhitchcock5047]

Would love to know

[@ruxkrish]

The twin OS concept is very similar to Infotainment in cars. Safety critical things like chimes and reverse cameras work on RTOS whereas Android does all the other heavy lifting

[@ShadowNetBG]

What watch face are you using at 9:10? It looks really cool.

[@Cult549]

I genuinely loved the first watch. Still using it today and will absolutely be getting this one!

[@4RILDIGITAL]

Love that you took time to test both watches and gave a straightforward comparison. The hybrid chip system in OnePlus Watch is an interesting take, and despite its quirks, it seems to deliver on battery life.

[@iamanandakb]

4:30 Lol! I thought he was gonna say it's all cloud 😂

[@YOitsBA]

@mkbhd can you please do a video about the best android skin? For example, I really like this watch but I’d only use it if I had a 1+ phone. I hate OneUI and Pixel was too google-y for me so before I could get this watch I need to know more about the OS skin. I’ve only ever used OneUI or Pixel for the past 5+ years probably like most ppl in the US on android so itd be nice to see some comparisons before jumping into something like 1+

[@toondebraekeleer8535]

Dus you mention the sapphire display? That's s pretty big point as well. I've been using the oneplus watch 2 for 3+ months now and i don't have a single scratch on there

[@mikepmena29]

I actually like that watch The only thing is missing from it is wireless charging instead of the pen magnetic book charger for it

[@kimdot69]

can you share a comparison grid to the Pixel and Fitbit Sense 2? Thanks.

[@alainahart4350]

I want to thank you for your advice on that one video you made about the MacBook and how you helped me decide which one to get. You saved me money! You helped me realize that all I needed was the M1 chip and I am so happy I saved that money bc this one that I got does everything I need it to. You rock!

[@Seabei2]

Logic beat in the intro 🔥

[@AntiMetaLokuno]

Was hoping for a Pulse Elite video by now

[@ospringz5923]

You are back Marques :)

[@uncommon8896]

what would be cool is if they could work some kind of small solar panel on these, kind like the solar calculators we've all had at some point.

[@Flyby-1000]

After watching MB review this watch, I purchased the OP Watch 2 via the OnePlus Store app on my OP 11 5G... 10% off using the OP app, $50 off for the trade in of my old TicWatch 2, & free shipping for a total of $80 off +Tax.... $ 235.39. This will be the 3rd OP product I've owned. My first was the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition, coming from the Note 5 and I loved it. Since there wasn't going to be anymore android support for the OP 7T's, I leveled up to the OP 11 5G...and I love that phone just as much... Now we'll see how this OP Watch 2 holds up.... So far, I've been really impressed with OP products!!!

[@KeriBeal]

Hold to end is genius! Apple need to pay attention, the number of times my watch has stopped 1/3 into a hike is frustrating as hell

[@kop1986]

Huawei started that on the gt watches

[@964cuplove]

Is it usable with an otherwise pure apple iPhone Mac iPad setup ?!

[@maximstelea1367]

Maybe you should review the Garmin Tactix 7 Pro Amoled? Don't see any company that came even close to that watch or even the previous version of the Delta.

[@zorloc111]

Is the battery health any better on these smart watches? each one ive had, charged every night, then after 6 months they wouldnt hold a charge for longer than an hour.
