You might remember the OnePlus Watch that launched in 2021 and the budget OnePlus Watch Nord that came out in India the year after – and while there hasn’t been a OnePlus wearable this year, it looks like the OnePlus Watch 2 could arrive in 2024 .
This comes from a regular tipster Max Jambor (through 9to5Google), which says that the watch, like its predecessor, will use a round dial and that it will be “better” than the original – which is what you’d actually expect, after a two-year hiatus.
Last year we heard a report about the OnePlus Watch 2, but it was planned for a launch sometime in 2022. That obviously didn’t happen, or perhaps there was some confusion between the OnePlus Watch 2 and the OnePlus Watch. North.
The OnePlus Watch Nord, which was never released outside India, used a square watch face in the style of the Apple Watch, but based on this leak, it looks like OnePlus is sticking with the same round design for its main smartwatch line.

Very few details
Apart from the prediction that it will launch in 2024 and that it will have a round watch face, we don’t know much else about the OnePlus Watch 2, both in terms of design and internal specifications.
One question is whether the OnePlus wearable will run Watch OS, like the original, or switch to Wear OS – Oppo’s smartwatches run Wear OS, and Oppo and OnePlus are pretty much the same company at this point.
We praised the “sleek look and week-long battery life” and low price of the original OnePlus Watch, while also noting our frustrations that there were few third-party apps for the smartwatch, mainly due to the OnePlus Watch OS.
Let’s hope that the OnePlus Watch 2, when it eventually sees the light of day, improves in all the areas that need improvement. We might even see it appear alongside the OnePlus 12 early this year.
