Vivo launched its first smartwatch last year. The Vivo Watch, as it is officially called, is now set to get a successor and a new leak has revealed it will have a feature not available on the original.
While some folks are fine with their smartwatch being limited to telling the time and tracking health features, there are users who want more, up to the extent of being able to leave their phones at home when going for a run while not missing calls and messages. This category of users are those Vivo is targeting with its upcoming smartwatch.
According to the Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Vivo smartwatch, expected to launch as the Vivo Watch 2, will have an eSIM. This will allow users to be able to make and receive calls as well as send and receive messages on the smartwatch without being tethered to a phone.
In addition to having an eSIM, the source also mentioned that the watch will have support for more apps, probably in a fashion similar to the recently announced Xiaomi Watch Color 2. He also mentioned that the Vivo smartwatch will have a round dial. However, we do not know if it will be available in multiple sizes like last year’s model.
The Vivo Watch comes in 42mm and 46mm sizes with a 1.19-inch and 1.39-inch AMOLED display respectively. The smartwatch can track up to 11 sports modes, supports heart rate and blood oxygen level measurement, and has a built-in assistant, NFC, GPS, built-in storage, and a waterproof rating. The 42mm version has a 9-day battery life while the 46mm version pushed the battery life up to 18 days.
