A new watch from OnePlus is about to hit the market. OnePlus tweeted, "It's about time," hinting at the design of its second watch. The company did not provide any information about when it would be released. But according to leakers, the gadget might make its world premiere at the MWC, which takes place in Barcelona, Spain, on February 26. OnePlus has yet to formally disclose the launch date.
A frequent leaker of future technology, Max Jambor, had previously predicted that the OnePlus Watch 2 would be unveiled at MWC 2024. He now states that it will occur on February 26. The watch's manufacturer, OnePlus, asked users to guess what the teaser image on their community forum represented. The catch is that they are only interested in inaccurate guesses. You can turn in your incorrect response until February 26 at 5:00 PM Indian Standard Time. This timing may align with the OnePlus Watch 2's release. The fact that the contest is open to residents of Europe, North America, and India suggests that these are the likely regions where the watch will be sold.
According to leaked photos, the OnePlus Watch 2 is anticipated to have a circular dial with a bump on the right side. This bulge most likely contains two buttons, giving the watch a unique appearance. It appears to have a speaker grille on the other side, and sensors monitor health metrics on the underside. With a thick bezel encircling the display, the watch might have a number of analog and digital watch face options. There are rumors that the screen will be a 1.43-inch AMOLED panel.
The OnePlus Watch 2's frame seems to have a smooth finish based on the leaked photos. The fastening system bears similarities to the one found in Apple watches.
The black and light grey Watch 2 was shown off in the leaks.The watch may have a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 SoC inside. It is expected to keep features from its predecessor, such as GPS and 5ATM+ IP68 dust and water resistance.
Whether the watch will use WearOS or a custom RTOS is a subject of conjecture. Considering the powerful Snapdragon chip previously mentioned, the former may seem implausible.
