   The OnePlus Watch 2 is here, and it’s quickly become my favorite Wear OS smartwatch after only a few days of use! Its battery life has been STELLAR - it lasted me 75 hours during the first cycle! This is thanks to its huge battery (500mAh versus 306mAh in the Pixel Watch 2) and also Google’s new Wear OS hybrid OS interface.

   I’ll share my full impressions on tomorrow’s episode of the Android Faithful podcast, but here’s a rundown of the key specs and features:

     @MishaalRahman I have the first-gen OnePlus Watch, and it honestly kind of soured my impression of OnePlus's ability to make watches. Is this one a significantly better experience?

     @MishaalRahman I'm aware, but I'm really interested in the specific experiential differences between the two. For example, the first gen watch got around 10-14 days of battery life in my experience during the first couple of months of use

     @gianni this one runs Wear OS. The first gen ran a custom RTOS, which was one of its biggest issues.
