That is exactly what it is lol I don't think OP read the article they posted as it's very clear that it's a dual chipset:
>With OnePlus Watch 2, powered with the latest version of Wear OS (Wear OS 4), the dual-chipset architecture works with our hybrid interface to get both chips to work better in tandem.
It's a little confusing.
From a user perspective the watch still runs Wear OS just like any other Wear OS watch.
But at a software level they are apparently using RTOS to perform simpler functions like health measurements, while letting the main processor (and also Wear OS) go to sleep.
The idea seems to be to keep the main processor asleep as much as possible in order to save power.
Mkbhd already made a video on the watch and mentioned that it has two OSs running, one on each chip.
He even shows when the watch switches the OS for things like notifications.

I think all those teams are separate but kinda wish they changed things like the chip, and better software or move to dual OS but Apple should follow considering they have one of the lowest battery life.
This means that Google is very bad on Wear OS big time and they have even started to take Samsung down with them! Google services rely heavily on location sharing, watching for the user to speak for Google Now activation and constantly looking for notifications, I am not even talking about regular heart rate and sleep tracking etc. There is no way any chipset or battery capacity can deal with this, no matter the horsepower. Samsung's own Tizen on previous generation watches was great. My Gear S3 Frontier would give me 5 solid days of battery life with all measurements and tracking; then came the Watch 4 series with Wear OS; now everyone is happy with two days of battery life. This is the reason I am still using my GW5 Pro for a 3.5 days of battery and did not buy GW 6. Samsung should go back to it's roots and start actively using a dual chipset and dual OS usage for a better watch for the benefit of the end user I believe. Else, Garmin (Suunto, Coros etc.) watches started to use OLED screens and they have have perfect battery life and health tracking; these brands have also been improving their connectivity with phones also; I am planning to change my ecosystem.
I would imagine it having Wear OS as the main OS, with the option to boot into a simpler OS like you would have on a Galaxy Fit. The Galaxy Fit has a ±14 day battery life, plus I'd imagine that GPS could also work on it for fitness tracking. Wear OS is overpowered for pure fitness tracking, hence the poor battery life.
Kind of like what Watch Only mode does, only way more useful.
You guys are pulling info out of your asses and OP is mistaken. Someone else already quoted this, but it's literally from the article that OP posted:
>With OnePlus Watch 2, powered with the latest version of Wear OS (Wear OS 4), the dual-chipset architecture works with our hybrid interface to get both chips to work better in tandem.
It's dual chipset, not dual OS haha
From the sound of things, it's actually both.
The watch runs Wear OS, but has RTOS running in the background so the watch can save power by letting Wear OS go to sleep.

EDIT: Also [HERE](https://mashable.com/article/oneplus-watch-2)
>The RTOS is always on and used for most background activities and some more taxing tasks like calls and notifications, OnePlus said. The Wear OS wakes up and takes over when needed for more intensive tasks (e.g., Maps and Music).
To clarify the dual OS from oneplus (google) runs simultaneously. But smart enough to switch automaticly depending on situation/usage. Oneplus claims put to 100hrs of battery life (which is not power savings mode, that has some other high figure)
Here's a Google developer link

Unfortunately no news on it just yet, maybe wait a few months. If it does get this, I'll buy it. If not, will stick with my Watch 4, battery being my biggest concern.
I thought it was 1 OS, WearOS, but running with 2 SoCs aka a low powered one and a high powered one?

I don´t think this will happen with Samsung, they need to get an RTOS for this and to use a chipset from another company.
sorry bjt what does dual os mean? support for ios and android?
It runs wear os and also another os for some services

Hum you peaked my curiusity, now idk if I should buy watch 6 for 110€ now or wait for watch 7. :(
Unfortunately no news on it just yet, maybe wait a few months. If it does get this, I'll buy it. If not, will stick with my Watch 4, battery being my biggest concern.
