OPPO has today announced that the company has entered into a partnership with telecom operator Orange (France Telecom) to launch an eSIM variant of the OPPO Watch in the European market.

Not just the OPPO Watch, more products from the company will also be adopted for the Orange network, including two new 5G smartphones — Reno 4Z 5G and Reno 4 Pro 5G, along with a 4G smartphone named OPPO A72.

OPPO has now established a partnership with major telecom operators in the European market, including Orange, Vodafone, and Deutsche Telekom.

The OPPO Watch features a large 1.91-inch 3D curved flexible AMOLED display with 326 PPI and 100% DCP-P3 color gamut. The company says that it opted for the square design because it feels squares are more efficient at displaying information.

The device comes powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 platform and paired with Apollo 3 co-processor. The wearable runs ColorOS-based Watch OS, which is a custom skin based on the Android operating system.
