Replacing My Galaxy Watch6 w/ OnePlus Watch 2 for One Week

The problem with the Samsung watch is you don't get all the features if you don't have a Samsung phone

I switched to Garmin after the galaxy watch. Samsung makes one hell of a watch. I did construction and smashed it rebar, concrete and dropped it off the roof. Wore it for almost 4 years. Battery life was my one complaint.

Great video Mike,thanks for taking the time to do this. Also, BTW, nice golf swing!😊

That's a pretty lengthy and detailed review my man. Good job.

This is a really comprehensive review. I have been in a test group for the Watch 2 and tested it for a while. This is very representative for the Watch 2. Great work man😁

Been waiting for your review. Definitely great watch!

Great review! I have a GW6, and often use it while lifting at the gym. I usually use the "Other" workout. Curious what you use and what you've found to be best for weightlifting. Thanks!

I've had the the OP Watch 2 for a couple of days now and really like it. Battery life is great and it's really comfortable to wear. My main use case for it is as a HR monitor for the Peloton Bike and it works perfectly for that. In the Peloton watch app it automatically detects when a workout is about to start on the bike and ends when the ride ends. HR monitoring works just as well as the dedicated Peloton chest strap HR monitor. The instruction manual is pretty bare bones, so you need to figure most stuff out on your own, but so far the watch is great.

Exactly the kind of review I would hope to find for EXACTLY this comparison. Thanks! I have a GW5 I cant stop using (loved my PW2 experience) simply because of the sapphire glass and style. I JUST saw a random Reddit about the ONEPLUS Watch 2 and thought, "Hmm... 100 hours of battery with moderate use, when I'm already getting ~50 from my GW5...?". THEN I saw you open the Play Store @8:15 and I was pretty much sold on performance. The watch has a somewhat vintage feel with the cylinder where the buttons are located.

Great review! I liked how you focused on training, other reviewers really dropped the ball on that element. Well done, thanks!

What phone did you use to vlog, Mike?

Did you play music on to your watch (as a standalone) during workout sessions or runs / hikes because it draws extra power.

Nice watch, but it's too big and not having a tactile UI navigation option like a crown or bezel are major deal breakers.

4 torx screws secure the bottom case to the watch. That means, you can replace the battery.

That's a cool watch! I like my Watch 6 47mm Classic and it is also stainless steel so that makes the durability statement more even. I also get terrific battery life. Between 2.5 and 3 full days. I might consider the One Plus though some day. Mighty fine looking watch.

Hey Mike, is a review on One Plus 12 on the way?? if not, i'd really like to see a review from you because i do value your opinions more than any other channel out there, i see you have the phone already so..really hoping on a review!! also I love this one plus watch totally a bang for your bucks.

Does the app sync with strava? Thanks!

you are using AOD on Galaxy Watch and not on OnePlus! This is unfair when comparing the battery. 😅

Thanks for the detailed review. Wanted to buy a watch 6 classic but the Exynos chip stopped me from buying it with mediocre battery life. Finally decided to buy this partly due to its good Battery life and wear os integration.

Mike ! I'm always watching good your videos. From your South korean fan
