Following (Delayed) The launch of OnePlus Watch 3, in which the OS 5 is pre-installed, OnePlus has confirmed a timeline for the same update for last year’s OnePlus Watch 2, and it is not good news.
Talk to Android Central, OnePlus says that Watch 2 will not get an update to wear OS 5 till this year’s “Q3”:
Watch 2 users are expected to receive their OS 5 updates in this year’s Q3.
This means waiting for updates by at least July 2025, which Google and Samsung rolled out for Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch owners at the end of 2024.
Auch.
The cause of the delay is not clear, although Mobavoi has also maligned that its update has been delayed due to its unique hardware setup. This is for this reason that updates for OnePlus’s dual-architecture system can also be more complex, but it is difficult to say that Google officially supports the wear OS.
Cosesman decisions do not end there. OnePlus also told AC It will end with the latest smartwatch, OnePlus Watch 3, actually a short support window than the former model. While OnePlus Watch 2 was promised at least three years of software support, Watch 3 is getting only two years. Then, Ouch. The logic here is not clear, and it seems possible that it is just a case of misunderstanding. If true, however, it comes well behind the current policies of Google and Samsung.
