Vivo is expected to launch the Watch 3 smartwatch in China alongside the Vivo X100 series of smartphones. According to a new leak from Digital Chat Station, the Vivo Watch 3 is rumored to have support for 4G LTE, which would allow users to make calls and receive messages directly from their wrist, without needing their smartphone nearby.

Likewise, the smartwatch is likely to keep the round watchface and will have a circular OLED screen with a new”desktop pet” feature. The feature is expected to be similar to the one on the Vivo X Flip’s external screen. This fun and unique feature will add personality to your smartwatch, making it more than just a functional device.

The watch is also expected to support sports health monitoring functions such as heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring and will also integrate seamlessly with OriginOS 4.0–-Vivo’s upcoming OS based on Android 14.

Digital Chat Station has previously leaked some information about the Origin OS 4.0 system, which is expected to debut in October. Some of the new features that have been rumored to be included in the system include AI large models, global free small windows, and more.

As for the release time of the Vivo Watch 3, the blogger said that it is expected to debut together with the X100 series of smartphones. This is supported by a recent Weibo post from Jia Jingdong, VP of Vivo and GM of brand and product strategy, who said that the X100 series and iQOO 12 series are “getting closer and closer” and will be announced after the Asian Games.

The Vivo Watch 2—predecessor to Watch 3—was released in December 2021, currently retails for 1,199 yuan, and is available in three colors: black, white, and silver. It supports network connectivity via e-SIM and can achieve 7 days of battery life in typical scenarios with this function turned on, and 14 days of battery life with this function turned off. The watch also has dozens of built-in sports modes and supports a 50-meter waterproof design.
