Garmin rates the Vivoactive 6 at up to 11 days in smartwatch mode — far beyond an Apple Watch. Real-world results land at roughly 7-9 days with the always-on display off, dropping to 3-4 days with it on. A full charge takes around 1 hour 45 minutes; there's no wireless charging.

OnePlus Watch 2R
The headline strength. The dual-chipset design makes this the longest-lasting Wear OS watch — 3-4 days real-world against OnePlus's 100h smart / 48h heavy / 12-day power-saving claims — and it recharges in about an hour.
Garmin Vivoactive 6
At $299.99 the Vivoactive 6 is one of the best-value ways into Garmin's ecosystem, undercutting the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch on price and battery. The catch is internal: it's so close to the Vivoactive 5 that a discounted 5 is the smarter buy for many.
OnePlus Watch 2R
At ~$229 (often $175-200 on sale) the 2R is widely called the best-value Wear OS watch — it delivers ~95% of flagship functionality and the platform's best battery, against a Watch 2 that costs more for steel and dual-frequency GPS.
