OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus Watch 2R at a summer launch event in Milan, Italy. The watch is a lighter and cheaper alternative to the OnePlus Watch 2, with the same flagship features, excellent battery life, and a classic yet modern look.
The Watch 2R has a slightly different look than the Watch 2 that launched last March. It features an updated watch bezel, two round side buttons, and an updated watch band. Plus, it’s also 25% lighter than the Watch 2, which is great for something you’re forced to wear all day. The Watch 2R weighs just 37 grams thanks to its aluminum casing. It has an IP68 rating.
In addition to a classic, elegant and modern design, the Watch 2R features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with Always-on functionality. Under the hood, you have the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. To ensure efficient power management of the timepiece, OnePlus has implemented a Dual-Engine architecture for the Watch 2R and allows you to use the Snapdragon W5 chip and the BES 2700 chip. This combination also ensures reliable and long-lasting battery life. Thanks to the second chip, you can use a power saving mode that can give you up to 12 days of battery life!
The smartwatch runs on Android Wear OS 4 and offers 80 downloadable watch faces for customization.

Of course, you also get the regular health and fitness monitoring features that every smartwatch should have these days (and then some). You get dual-band GPS for accurate tracking, 100 activities, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and even stress monitoring.

With its 500mAh battery, OnePlus claims that the watch can last for 100 hours of active use, which is truly epic. The company claims that with heavy usage, such as GPS, phone calls, and app usage, the smartwatch can last for 48 hours. The OnePlus Watch 2R comes in two recognizable OnePlus colors: Forest Green and Gunmetal Gray. It is now available for purchase in the US, Europe, and the UK, priced at $230.
