Vivo has released the much-anticipated Vivo Watch, the brand’s first smartwatch. The watch arrives with a premium design and several topnotch features. It is also priced at 1299 yuan (~$191).
The Vivo Watch comes in two different models based on the frame size and design. It is available in 46mm and 42mm versions. The 46mm version packs a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with a 454×454 pixel resolution. On the other hand, the 42mm version sports a 1.19-inch AMOLED screen with a 390×390 pixel resolution.
In terms of the build, the watch utilises a stainless steel body which is tougher than common aluminium alloys and can easily resist daily wear and sweat. The bezel is made of precision ceramics which Vivo says it took nearly two months to complete the complicated process which involves subjecting the steel to sintering at 1400℃. Thus, the hardness is 4 times that of stainless steel.
In terms of straps, there are two options for the Vivo Watch models – Nappa leather straps and Fluoroelastomer straps. Among them, the leather strap is selected from the bull’s head skin, which maintains natural texture, smoothnes and has a delicate touch.
Further, the watch arrives with six built-in sensors including blood oxygen, accelerometer, air pressure, geomagnetism, ambient light, positioning, etc. The positioning system supports four major global systems, including the domestic Beidou, which is more accurate than the common dual-system positioning.
As a sports and fitness tracker, the Vivo Watch supports 11 types of sports monitoring, including outdoor running, swimming, cycling, mountaineering and so on.
The new watch also supports music playback, NFC traffic card, access card and JOVI voice assistant. In terms of battery life, the 42mm version of the Wivo Watch has a battery life of up to 9 days.
