The OnePlus Watch 2 won't get Wear OS 5

Your OnePlus Watch won’t get Wear OS updates for as long as you think
OnePlus says the OnePlus Watch 2 and 3 will get three years of OS and security updates. However, the company's promised timeline creates more confusion than it answers. The company seems to be counting the Wear OS build the watch is launching with as one OS update.
The OnePlus Watch 2 won't get Wear OS 5 until Q3 of this year, and the news for the OnePlus Watch 3 is even worse
To begin with the latter announcement, OnePlus has essentially confirmed that OnePlus Watch 2 owners will get Wear OS 5 fully one year after it launched on leading models from Samsung and Galaxy. Just to rub it in, Wear OS 6 will likely debut in the meantime.
