Practical upgrade and buying answers based on published specifications and previous-generation comparisons when available.

An upgrade is easiest to justify if you care about a peak brightness change from 600 nits to 2200 nits, a display technology change from AMOLED to LTPO AMOLED and a chipset change from Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 + BES2700BP MCU to Snapdragon W5 + BES2800BP MCU. If those areas already meet your needs on OnePlus Watch 2 (2024), the move is optional rather than urgent.

Versus OnePlus Watch 2 (2024), the display changes are a peak brightness change from 600 nits to 2200 nits and a display technology change from AMOLED to LTPO AMOLED. Higher refresh or brightness usually helps scrolling smoothness and outdoor visibility more than a small size change alone.
