Last week, Oppo unveiled its first smartwatch dubbed as ‘Oppo Watch’ alongside the Find X2 series in China. Starting at 1,999 Yuan (~$285), it features almost everything one needs in a smartwatch. However, the company did not say anything about its international availability at the launch. But now it has been confirmed to debut in Western Europe later this year by none other than the brand’s Vice President Brian Shen on Twitter.
On the China release of OPPO Watch Series, each model is equipped with esim to make calls. For the price I think this is great value for the user.
Users will have to stay tuned for our global launch, there will be a separate launch in western Europe later on this year. 👀 https://t.co/nD9lFYBBAj

Oppo has been making smartphones for years now but the company introduced its first smartwatch last week. Brian Shen, the company’s Vice President and President of Global Marketing has been lately sharing glimpses of the brand’s upcoming devices on his Twitter profile. Following his regular routine, he revealed the Oppo Watch to be launched globally in Western Europe sometime later this year. Unfortunately, he did not provide any further information and merely asked his followers to stay tuned.
Oppo watch is the brand’s most ambitious product in recent times. It comes powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 platform paired with Apollo 3 co-processor. The wearable runs ColorOS Watch OS, a custom skin based on unspecified Android. The device sports a 1.6-inch (41mm) / 1.91-inch (46mm) curved AMOLED display and even features eSIM functionality.
