The Oppo Watch 3 series made its debut in China in August. It has been more than four months, however, the brand is yet to make an official announcement regarding the availability of its latest wearables in international markets.
But a report recently suggested that the Oppo Watch 3 will make its way to India by the end of March or early April. Unfortunately, the report did not reveal anything more about the product.
In 2020, Oppo debuted the first-generation Oppo Watch in international markets. That wearable featured different chipsets in mainland China and other regions.
The Oppo Watch 2 series remained exclusive to China. Now, if the report is to be believed, the Oppo Watch 3 will be released in international markets.
Since the first-gen model had different specs across regions, there’s a chance that the Oppo Watch 3 for global markets could be different from the original sold in China.
We wouldn’t be surprised if Oppo launches the recently debuted Oppo Watch SE as Oppo Watch 3 outside mainland China. Because this particular wearable could help the company maintain competitive pricing.
Either way, we hope that Oppo brings any of these smartwatches to global markets. Because the options for watches with Wear OS are way more limited than in previous years.
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 series of wearables are currently the default choice for anyone looking for a proper smartwatch on the Android platform. The only other options are Fosill Gen 6 Wellness Edition and Google Pixel Watch. But these two are only sold in select countries, unlike Galaxy Watches which are available in almost all regions.
Both Oppo Watch 3 and Oppo Watch SE feature great hardware. The former is powered by a Snapdragon W5 chip, while the latter houses a Snapdragon 4100 Plus SoC. They also come with co-processors, namely Apollo 4 Plus (Watch 3) and Apollo 4s (Watch SE).
The aforementioned hardware is enough to run the latest Wear OS 3.0 smoothly. Thus, if Oppo brings either of these watches to global markets, they can take on Samsung.
These wearables also offer features, such as eSIM, Bluetooth calling, multiple sports modes, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, sleep tracking, 5ATM water resistance, and more. But they lack ECG and blood pressure monitoring, which are offered on Galaxy Watch 4/5.
That being said, we are looking forward to learning more details about the Oppo Watch 3 global variant in the coming days. Do let us know your expectations of this upcoming wearable in the comment section below.
