Vivo launched its first smartwatch in September last year dubbed Vivo Watch. The smartwatch came with a sleek design and several top-notch features that made it stand out among its peers. The brand has teased a successor for a while now and indeed, the second-generation Vivo smartwatch has been announced in China. The Vivo Watch 2, as it is called, arrives with several outstanding features including e-SIM support and long battery life.
The Watch 2 comes with a decent 1,299 yuan (~$204) price tag and for that amount you get a smartwatch with an ultra-long battery life of 7 days with the e-SIM turned on. If the e-SIM is turned off, the battery life can go up to 14 days.
The Vivo Watch 2 also comes with support for Himalaya FM and Netease Cloud Music, making it possible to stream music directly without connecting with a smartphone. There is also support for dozens of built-in sports modes that users can choose from. The 50ATM waterproof and dustproof rating makes it suitable for use even when swimming. 
Vivo also included an emergency call feature on the Watch 2 that makes it possible to reach emergency services such as the fire services, paramedics, or police in an emergency even without a paired smartphone. Unlike traditional wearable devices that monitor sleep based on acceleration sensors, the Vivo Watch 2 smartwatch uses advanced CPC cardiopulmonary coupled sleep analysis technology, which can more accurately determine the stage and proportion of sleep and can accurately record even the noon nap.
The smartwatch can monitor the user’s health round the clock, including continuous blood oxygen monitoring, all-day heart rate monitoring, etc., and can automatically synchronize the data to the mobile phone to facilitate user traceability. It also provides lifestyle guidance such as stress monitoring, body vitality values, and reminders to drink water.
In terms of the design, the Vivo Watch 2 adopts a bezel-less display design. The Watch 2 uses a 316L stainless steel body while the strap is a standard fluorine rubber strap, which is flexible and durable while being comfortable and stable to wear. The strap uses a new Japanese-shaped buckle, allowing users to wear it without fear of sweating too much. There is also a second option with Nappa leather straps. Nappa leather straps are made of extremely demanding bull-headed leather, which is made by a special tanning process with a history of more than 100 years.
The Watch 2 comes in black, white, and silver frame colors and is presently listed on Vivo’s website.
