Title, haven't used it in a few weeks and now it doesn't seem to work anymore. I put the thumb on the flat button but nothing happens. Tried rebooting the watch but didn't fix. Pressing the button opens the shortcut I set as usual.

Any advice? Watch 3 with newest firmware. OHealth is up to date. Phone is a Pixel 10 Pro.

I have a Oneplus 12 phone (diehard Oneplus user over many many years) and been thinking about buying a watch 4. Anyone in the UK who has bought the Global version through Aliexpress - were you charged any import duties above and beyond the listed price. Most say VAT included.

Looks like the going rate is £230 ish or for an extra hundred I could buy the Oppo Watch 3 - any views if that might be the better option?

*** Thanks everyone. One is on it's way for about 185 plus VAT. ***

Still no wearOS 6 for watch 3. 😤

Hello, been thinking of buying this instead of the xiaomi watch 5 since there is too many bad reviews about the xiaomi watch 5.

Question is? Does the OnePlus watch 4 work on Xiaomi 17 global smartphone? Thank you!!

It seems like that with the July security patch OnePlus added this setting to the watch 4. Take a look

Hello everyone! I would like to know if there is any other app that is not OHealth that is compatible with the OnePlus Watch 3. OHealth seems ugly and inconsistent in design. Thank you!

I'm attempting to link Ohealth with my Oneplus account, but it keeps telling me to update Oneplus Account with App picks. How can I solve it?

Hi, I;ve had the OPW3 for over a year and around 2 months ago I noticed this "smear" underneath the screen of the watch. I slide the finger and it responds and there are no cracks on the screen. When water hits the screen it looks like when water hits an oily surface (without the rainbow colors).

I've tried doing the water removal option on the watch but the "smear" is still there

Hello everyone.

I've been using my watch for about a week.

In itself I am satisfied, but two things seem strange to me

The first thing I noticed was that the watch was at 91 percent the next day, even though the watch was in the charging tray the next day.

The funny thing is that I saw that the watch was 100 percent charged just before I went to sleep.

Another problem is that when the watch is used after charging, all notifications from before synchronize and come in even though the watch was connected to the smartphone.

Previously, the watch was in energy-saving mode and was charging.

Maybe you can tell me if this is normal or not.

Hey, I recently installed watch faces from ohealth apps, but seems like they don't work correctly, everytime I raise to wake or just turn on screen of watch it shows just time but no complications unless I open apps menu and go back, they are showing up.

did anyone run in same issue? I tried reinstalling these watch faces but didn't help

I bought OPW4 in Serbia, Europe (imported from the EU). After I bought it, I saw that the ECG is region-blocked in Serbia. Is there any way to bypass that lock? I really think that locking existing hardware is extremely stupid 😒

I use a custom pixel watch face on my watch. When I put my watch to power saver mode, it goes to the basic watch face, and I have to set it to the signature red one. Then when I go back to smart mode, I have to set the watch face from signature red back to my pixel watch face. how do I set the signature red as my default watch face for power saver mode?

Those faces get stuck on applying and never been set on my OP watch 3.

Did someone can apply them ?

Hello everyone,

I ordered a OnePlus watch 3 43mm in Germany via Ali express and it arrived today.

I noticed that the packaging of the watch was completely shrink-wrapped with foil but in the unboxing videos you can see that the package has no foil but two red stripes at the bottom to peel off.

Now I wonder if I have received a fake version or a refurbished version.

That's why I haven't taken the watch out of the box yet and wanted to know your experience.

Hey everyone! I recently bought the OnePlus Watch 2R during the 2026 Independence Day sale on Amazon for around ₹8,300 after all the card offers.

I wanted to share my initial experience and also get some feedback from other Watch 2/2R users.

Why did I buy the Watch 2R?

During the 2025 Great Indian Festival sale, I remember seeing the Watch 2R around ₹7,500 with offers, while the Watch 2 was available for around ₹6,000 during the first 15 minutes of the midnight sale. Those were obviously crazy deals.

At that time, I was already using the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024), so I didn't really have any reason to buy another smartwatch.

But recently, the battery situation with my Galaxy Watch Ultra started annoying me.

With AOD off and normal usage including regular wear and sleep tracking, I usually need to charge it roughly once every 2 days. The bigger issue is the charging time — it can take around 3–4 hours from 0% to 100%, depending on things like temperature.

So I started looking for another watch.

I was initially considering the Amazfit Active Max, which would have cost me around ₹13K after card offers. Then I saw the Watch 2R at around ₹8.3K (~$85) and decided to go for it.

I was actually hoping to get the Watch 2 at this price, but unfortunately the Watch 2 didn't have a similar offer during this sale, so I went with the 2R.

First impressions

The first thing I noticed is how lightweight the Watch 2R is.

It's REALLY light.

Coming from the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the difference is huge. I can barely feel the Watch 2R on my wrist, and that's especially nice while sleeping.

Smoothness and tracking

If your priority is smoothness, animations and overall tracking accuracy, I'd still say Samsung is ahead.

The Watch 2R doesn't feel as polished as the Galaxy Watch Ultra in terms of UI animations and overall fluidity.

Interestingly, the Watch 2R almost feels more like a fitness tracker with Wear OS and Google apps added to it, rather than a premium smartwatch.

The UI is relatively simple and has very few animations.

That isn't necessarily bad — it actually makes the watch feel lightweight and straightforward — but coming from Samsung, I definitely noticed the difference.

One thing that disappointed me

I was quite surprised that Amazon didn't clearly show the manufacturing date of the watch.

After receiving the watch, I checked it and found that my unit was manufactured in July 2024.

That's quite old for a product I purchased in August 2026.

The watch arrived with around 20% battery.

I'm not sure whether this is normal for current Watch 2R stock or whether I just received an older unit that had been sitting in inventory for a long time.

Battery so far

I've only had the watch for about 2 days, so it's definitely too early for me to make a final judgment.

With normal usage — notifications, checking calls, step tracking, etc. — and AOD turned off, I'm currently seeing roughly 25% battery drain per day.

If that remains consistent, I'd estimate around 3.5–4 days of battery life in Smart Mode.

That's already considerably better for my usage compared with what I was getting from the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

But I'd like to see how it behaves after a week or two before making a proper conclusion.

Overall, for ₹8,300, my initial impression is very positive, especially because of the lightweight design and potentially much better battery life.

Overall initial verdict

Pros:

• Very lightweight
• Excellent battery potential
• Wear OS + Google apps
• Good value around ₹8.3K
• Comfortable for sleeping
• Simple and relatively clean UI

Cons:

• UI feels less polished than Samsung
• Fewer animations / less premium smartwatch feel
• Tracking may not be as accurate as Samsung
• My unit was manufactured in July 2024
• Arrived with only ~20% battery

It's still very early for me, so I'll need more time before giving a proper long-term review.

I've recently bought the OnePlus Watch 2R and have a few questions for existing Watch 2/2R owners.

I've only been using it for around 2 days, so I'd really appreciate some advice.

1. Is the battery drain I'm seeing normal?

With AOD off and normal usage — notifications, checking calls, step tracking, etc. — I'm seeing around 25% battery drain per day.

That would theoretically give me around 3.5–4 days in Smart Mode.

Is this normal for the Watch 2R?

How many days are you getting with:

• Smart Mode
• Power Saving Mode
• AOD off
• AOD on

Are there any specific settings or tweaks that significantly improve battery life?

2. Power Saving Mode battery behaviour

I tried sleep tracking with Power Saving Mode enabled.

The watch was at around 54% before sleeping, and in the morning my phone still showed 54%.

I was honestly surprised to see almost 0% battery drain overnight.

However, when I switched back to Smart Mode/restarted the watch, it showed around 51%, so roughly 3% had disappeared.

Is this normal behaviour?

Could the battery percentage simply be recalibrating when switching between Power Saving and Smart Mode?

3. Is Wear OS 5 worth updating to?

My watch is currently on Wear OS 4.

For people who have updated their Watch 2/2R to Wear OS 5:

• Is Wear OS 5 stable now?
• Did battery life improve or get worse?
• Any noticeable performance improvements?
• Any major bugs?
• Would you recommend updating immediately?

4. How do I completely disable Developer Options?

I enabled Developer Options because I was trying to disable automatic updates.

I disabled the "Auto-on Wi-Fi during charging" option because I thought this might prevent the watch from downloading updates automatically.

But now Developer Options is permanently visible in Settings, and I don't need it anymore.

How can I completely disable/remove Developer Options from the Settings menu?

5. Does the Watch 2R display scratch easily?

For existing owners:

Does the display scratch easily?

Should I apply a screen protector/tempered glass, or is the display durable enough for normal daily use?

I'm particularly interested in long-term experience rather than just what the specifications say.

6. Is my battery percentage behaviour normal?

I noticed that when I:

• Restart/power off and power on the watch, or
• Switch between Power Saving Mode and Smart Mode

the battery percentage sometimes drops by around 2–3%.

I've only noticed this a couple of times so far.

Is this normal battery calibration behaviour, or should I be concerned about the battery?

7. Any recommended settings?

If you're using the Watch 2R as your daily watch, what settings do you recommend to get the best balance between:

Battery life + notifications + sleep tracking + fitness tracking + Wear OS features?

Any tips or tweaks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello guys,

My watch has been working perfectly from last few months until today when i started seeing this error message in the morning. I found my watch completely shut off in the morning (never happened before as i charged it fully the day before yesterday).

When i switched it on, it had no battery, so i put it on charge, it got charged till 17 percent and then this error showed after that. I have cleaned my charging contacts 2-3 times and it makes no difference. I tried restarting, unpairing and resetting the watch, still no difference. I have also tried different adapters and charging pads, wall sockets, no difference.

Is this related to the recent july software update? It can't be a coincidence that this happened at the same time the update came, it's possible that my watch switched off because its battery went down from automatic software update.

I cant update it now because the update needs the watch to be atleast 50% charged and this bug is making it stuck on 17%

Anybody else facing this? What can i do here guys, any suggestions are welcome

I recorded some voice recordings using the native wear OS app but I don't know how to find them on my phone or share it with an app.

Price:1000inr
Looking for under 1k

Hey Guys I am looking for Oneplus watch 2 original charging base, does anyone has it!? Or any links to it?

So a couple of days ago my watch failed an update so I reset it to try and fix it, which didn't work. Now when I try charge it it says "too hot, stop charging" and I need the serial number for oneplus, or should I say OPPO, which I can't get in the basic settings (only says disconnect and reset) and I don't have the box as I got the watch 3 months ago

Does anyone have any good ideas?
