On the last day of February, the Oppo Watch X made its global debut in Malaysia. Just a few days earlier, the same product was also unveiled as OnePlus Watch 2 at MWC 2024.
This wearable is now tipped to be released in China. A reliable source has not only revealed the launch date but also its price point.
According to Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Watch X will launch in China on March 22. He adds that this is a tentative launch date, and therefore, there could be changes.
Further, the tipster claims that the Chinse variant will support eSIM. Despite the additional feature, the device will only cost around ¥1,000 (~$140).
For comparison, the global variants of Oppo Watch X and OnePlus Watch 2 without eSIM are priced at around $300. That’s more than double the Chinese price.
The higher international price is most likely due to Wear OS 4. In China, Oppo smartwatches boot ColorOS Watch based on AOSP, which does not require the company to pay any hefty licensing fees to Google.
Apart from software differences, the Oppo Watch X Chinese variant is expected to have the exact same hardware as its global counterpart.
For the unaware, the Oppo Watch X arrives with a 1.43-inch circular AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, IP68 rating, MIL-STD-810H certification, WiFi, Bluetooth, GNSS, a speaker, a microphone, a 500mAh battery, and 7.5W charging support.
