Oppo Watch 3 series is finally here as scheduled. The company took wraps off its latest wearable lineup in China today. The series consists of two models, namely Oppo Watch 3 and Oppo Watch 3 Pro.
Oppo Watch 3 Series Specifications
The Oppo Watch 3 arrives with a square dial, just like its predecessors. They feature an aluminum alloy frame and fiberglass casing. The Watch 3 has a 1.75-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 430 x 372 pixels. Whereas, the Watch 3 sports a larger 1.91-inch LTPO curved OLED display with a resolution of 496 x 378 pixels. Interestingly, both models come with the same 326 PPI but only the Pro version flaunts a crown.
Talking about common things, the duo is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chipset paired with 1GB RAM and 32GB storage. They also house Oppo’s own Apollo 4 Plus chip. They dual-boot ColorOS Watch based on Wear OS and RTOS.
In typical usage (mix of Wear OS and RTOS modes), the Pro variant (550mAh battery) is rated to last for up to 5 days, while the vanilla (400mAh battery) model is said to offer an endurance of up to 4 days. With LTE, the battery life drops by a day for both, and with heavy usage, it further drops by 1.5 days. In RTOS-only mode, they can last for up to 15 days and 14 days, respectively.
Based on this information, the Oppo Watch 3 series seems to be the best Wear OS smartwatch for battery life to date. It is probably due to the new Snapdragon W5 chip, which is making its global debut on these wearables.
Further, both variants offer LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, and NFC (payments, passes, car keys). They are 5ATM water resistant and feature all the essential sensors, like accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, optical heart rate sensor, SpO2 sensor, ambient light sensor, and altimeter. The Pro variant also comes with an ECG sensor.
Last but not least, the Oppo Watch 3 series can be paired with both Android and iOS.
