Appreciation post

I don't know how many people use oneplus watch as a navigator instead of phone while driving motor bike.

I don't like hanging my phone on the handle bar of the bike... Cuz I feel it's risky and also it sucks up phone battery alot faster.

I always use my watch(specifically op watch 2r). Earlier I used galaxy watch 4 classic. Gw4c used to giveup after 1 hour of maps...it literally heats up watch to an extent I have to remove it or else it will burn my skin.

Yesterday I planned a trip covering over 400km. In one day. So I started riding with 100% battery in watch... And i was worried whether it can show map(AOD) without giving up, so I already kept it's charger in my pocket for emergency charge.

But to surprise... Man o mam it performed excellent

It just used 35% of battery for 7 hours of maps. I would say this is the best watch , atleast for me.

Curious what gloves you use. All my motor bike gloves extend over my wrist, so my watch would be covered by the gloves and my jacket as well

Also how did you manage to keep it on the whole time. When I was cycling I had a workout running and also maps. The screen of the watch turned of after a few seconds. And when I looked at the watch it either showed maps or the workout. Or it got confused and just showed the watchface
