OnePlus Watch 2R is one of our favourite smart wearables to come out this year. The Watch 2R undercuts the price of the OnePlus Watch 2 by Rs 5,000 while matching most of its specs. The Watch 2R is encased in an aluminium alloy casing while its flagship counterpart rocks a stainless steel frame. Its 1.43-inch flat AMOLED display has a 466p resolution and a default brightness of 600 nits. In High Brightness Mode, this display can hit 1,000 nits. The smartwatch is powered by Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and BES2700BP chipsets. The latter handles tasks like sleep tracking, background heart rate monitoring, and more. It takes over when the watch is set to power-saving mode. The Snapdragon chipset manages the ‘smart’ functions of the wearable. For more information, read our review of the OnePlus Watch 2R.
