It’s official—the second OnePlus wristwatch is on its way. With the comment, “It’s about time,” the company teased a silhouette of what appears to be a smartwatch on its community forum on X (previously Twitter). Although the official account requested guesses with “wrong answers only,” the picture appears to be a teaser for the OnePlus Watch 2 debut. Here is everything we currently know about the announcement.
OnePlus Watch 2: Expected launch date
Max Jambor, a well-known source, revealed that the OnePlus Watch 2 will be unveiled by the company at the forthcoming MWC 2024. It is predicted that this launch will take place on February 26. In addition, he continues by reporting that the smartwatch will include major improvements over its predecessors.
In addition, the community post that OnePlus has released as of right now invites users to submit in their incorrect responses before February 26th, which is also the day that the OnePlus Watch 2 is anticipated to ship. In addition, the page mentions that users from North America, Europe, and India are welcome to enter the contest, suggesting that this may be the market in which the wristwatch will find its niche.
It’s interesting to note that OnePlus stoked speculation on its community forum by releasing a teaser image and asking users to speculate as to its meaning. The turn of events? Only untrue responses are acceptable. The deadline for submissions is February 26 at 17:00 IST, which may indicate when the OnePlus Watch 2 will be on sale. Additionally, the forum states that participants from North America, Europe, and India are welcome to enter the contest, which suggests that these areas will be important markets for the new wristwatch.
OnePlus Watch 2 design and specifications (expected)
The circular dial of the OnePlus Watch 2 might feature a protrusion on the right side. Leaked renders suggest the side may have two buttons. It has a distinctive look because of this protrusion.There seems to be a speaker grille on the opposite side. There are sensors for monitoring several elements of health on the base.The bezel surrounding the watch face appears to be quite thick. Several digital and analogue watch faces are available. It is stated that the 1.43-inch AMOLED type display.
In the renders, the surrounding frame has a lovely gloss. Regarding the materials utilised for the strap and body, we are unsure. The strap mechanism has resemblance to the one found in Apple watches.The Watch 2 was shown in light grey and black in the leak.There might be a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 SoC located underneath.
It is possible that it may inherit its predecessor’s GPS and 5ATM+ IP68 dust and water resistance.Whether the watch comes with a proprietary WearOS or RTOS is a matter of some debate. On top of a potent chip like the Snapdragon previously indicated, the former is illogical. When the watch is eventually unveiled, we will know this.
