Alongside the Oppo Find X2 series, tomorrow Oppo will also unveil its first smartwatch: the Oppo Watch. It will not be just a random affordable smartwatch or fitness band: we will see a high-end product with a lot of features you would expect on the best smartwatch of 2020 and more. Thanks to several leaks and official renders, we know a lot about the upcoming Oppo Watch, we already know its design and form factor, as well as several specifications. We collected every info we got in a roundup ahead of the official launch which will be live-streamed tomorrow. Let’s discover together whether or not it is really one of the potential best smartwatches of the year by analyzing its known features.
Oppo Watch Design
A lot of people are already calling the Oppo Watch an Apple Watch clone. Not only its name is similar to the Cupertino giant’s smartwatch, but even its design looks like the expensive Apple wearable. But the good thing is that it will be the Apple Watch for Android handsets. Oppo Watch will feature a square display with 3D curved edges. Oppo decided to ditch the twisting digital crown and replaced it with two buttons on the right side of the case. It will come in black and copper cases with blue and gold straps similar to the sport bands of the Apple Watch. According to the VP Brian Shen, the gadget is there to serve the users and not just look good, that is why Oppo opted for a square design instead of a circular display.
Oppo Watch Specs
Below you can find the known specifications of the Oppo Watch, but keep in mind that not everything you will read below is officially confirmed by the company.
- Square design with blu and gold straps
- 1.91-inch retina display with a 326 ppi pixel density, 3D curved edges and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut
- Snapdragon Wear 2500 chipset with Apollo3 ultra low power chip
- Wear OS (unconfirmed)
- ECG sensor (just speculations!)
- eSIM support
- Calls support
- 5ATM waterproof
Yes, Oppo’s smartwatch might run Wear OS by Google, just like the Xiaomi Mi Watch. That would be a piece of amazing news since it will guarantee the best integration with the Android operating system. And after Google acquired Fitbit, we expect great news in the wearable sector. It will support eSIM, so that the user will be able to use it independently from its smartphone, even for calls. There might even be an ECG sensor (electrocardiogram) just like the latest Apple smartwatches that read the rate and rhythm of the heart and can spot signs of atrial fibrillation.
