As scheduled, OPPO has officially launched the OPPO Watch 2 series in China. The lineup includes three models, and two of them support LTE connectivity. The series starts at only ¥1,299 ($200) and boot dual OS. Let’s take a look at what these new smartwatches have to offer.
OPPO Watch 2 Series Specifications and Features
The OPPO Watch 2 series features a design similar to the original OPPO Watch from 2020. It flaunts a hyperboloid 3D AMOLED flexible display with curved edges and narrow bezels. The screen comes with a 60Hz refresh rate, 326 PPI, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.
Users can choose over 100 dials and can even generate new dials using the AI Outfit 2.0 watchface function. Further, the wearable sports a skin-friendly fluoroelastomer strap with a buckle. The company claims this strap to be breathable and comfortable.
As mentioned earlier, it arrives in three variants. Two models have a 42mm dial and the third model has a larger 46mm dial. The 42mm version comes in both eSIM and Bluetooth-only variants, whereas the 46mm is only available in an eSIM variant.
The smartwatch is powered by two chips, namely Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 and Apollo4s. It also boots dual-OS: ColorOS Watch based on Android and RTOS.
Unlike most smartwatches in the market, the device automatically switches between two chipsets based on usage. The watch only uses the Qualcomm chip when it runs any Android app.
Hence, it is said to offer up to 4-day battery life. Additionally, as per OPPO, users can get up to 16 days of battery life when completely switching over to RTOS.
The wearable offers all other common smartwatch features like sports modes, heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking, snore tracking, blood oxygen level monitoring, and more.
