The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 runs on Google’s Wear OS combined with Samsung's OneUI user interface which means that you get multiple apps support and a seamless scrolling experience. It also has an LTE variant, which means you can use it as a standalone calling device. It also has up to 425mAh battery with more than 40 hours of battery life.

The OnePlus Watch 2, on the other hand, has a big 500mAh battery, which means that it can last for more than three days of active usage. However, it lacks any temperature sensor support, like the Galaxy Watch 6. Samsung also provides a BioActive sensor that helps measure ECG and body composition analysis.

But the OnePlus Watch 2 has dual GPS support, which is far more accurate for tracking the distance traveled and even sleep monitoring. OnePlus has still not given any rotating functions in its crown, unlike the Galaxy Watch 6, which has a rotating dial that is fast and responsive.


OnePlus Watch 2 vs Galaxy Watch 6: Final verdict

To conclude our OnePlus Watch 2 vs Galaxy Watch 6 comparison, the OnePlus Watch 2 stands out with its more than 100 hours of battery life, 32GB storage space, and stainless steel build. If battery life is a top priority for you, and you always have your phone connected to your watch, then it's the more obvious choice.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series, though, stands out with its advanced health tracking features, premium rotating dial, and LTE support. If you value important health parameters like ECG measurement and body composition analysis and want a watch that can be used without a smartphone, albeit with less battery life, then the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is the better pick.
