Industry-leading battery life supported by Dual-Engine architecture

The OnePlus Watch 2 The watch is equipped with OnePlus' own Dual-Engine architecture, which is powered by two different chipsets. While the BES2700 Efficiency chipset runs the RTOS and handles background activity and simple tasks, the Snapdragon W5 Performance chipset powers the powerful tasks like running the favorite Google apps. This optimized approach, made possible by the Wear OS hybrid interface, creates a seamless transition between the two chips, with the OnePlus Watch 2 automatically switching between the low-power engine and the high-performance engine. In this way, users get an effortless smartwatch experience that also extends the time between charges.

With the unique Dual-Engine architecture and a 500 mAh battery, the OnePlus Watch 2 offers up to 100 hours of regular use with all functions available in Smart Mode and up to 48 hours of intensive use.

In addition, the OHealth app offers fitness features for more than 100 sports such as badminton, running, tennis and skiing, which OnePlus and Wear OS have worked closely together to fine-tune. On the OnePlus Watch 2, for example, the app for badminton can track data such as swing strength and speed, while for running it can track data about time in contact with surfaces, balance and VO2 max.
