The original OnePlus Watch was an abomination. But the OnePlus Watch 2 is a masterclass in redemption and a great option for folks who want an Android smartwatch with good battery life. It’s currently $209.99, or 30 percent off, for day two of Amazon Prime Day.
It’s a great-looking watch, but the real winner here is battery life. I got four days of battery life with the always-on display turned off. (It’s 1.5 to two days with it on, but that’s still better than average.) The watch also includes Google Assistant, Wear OS 4, and dual-frequency GPS — something very few non-Samsung, non-Google Android smartwatches have.
The main thing to be aware of is that you don’t get LTE, EKGs or atrial fibrillation detection, or fall detection. That’s…
