Back in May, OPPO teased a smartwatch during the Reno6 launch event in China. Several details of the OPPO Watch 2 had also appeared on Weibo around the same time. Today, the company released a poster to reveal that the OPPO Watch 2 will be announced at 3 PM (local time) on July 27 in China.
The launch poster does not reveal anything about the specifications and features of the Watch 2. In May, XDA Developers had revealed that model numbers such as OW20W3 and OW20W1 belong to the 46mm edition of the Watch 2. It also mentioned that the 46mm variant will arrive in three colors like Dust Gray, Mine Shaft, and Steel Blue.
It further revealed that the model number OP20W2 model number belongs to the smaller 42mm variant. This model is expected to arrive in colors like Mine Shaft, Gold Sand, Water Leaf, and Matisse.
The OPPO Watch from last year was the company’s first device in the smartwatch market. It was powered by the Snapdragon Wear 3100 chip, and it ran on Wear OS in global markets. In China, it came with ColorOS.
As far as the Watch 2 is concerned, it is expected to arrive with the newer Snapdragon Wear 4100 SoC and an Apollo 4s secondary chip. While its global version is likely to run on Wear OS, its Chinese edition could be running on an OS based on Android 8.1. The Watch 2 may offer 16 GB of native storage, which is twice more than its predecessor model.
The Watch 2 is likely to sport a square-shaped dial like its predecessor. It is expected to offer features like new watch faces, a stress detection function, a new OPPO Relax app, and LTE support through e-SIM. The company is also said to be working on a smartwatch called the OPPO Watch Free, but nothing much is known about it.
