Today Oppo officially announced that it will launch the Oppo Watch X smartwatch in China on March 22. The company has already debuted the Oppo Watch X in Malaysia on February 29th. Notably, this is the same product that was shown off as the OnePlus Watch 2 at MWC 2024 in late February.
A notable difference between the Chinese and Global versions of the watch is the use of software. While the Oppo Watch X comes with Google’s Wear OS 4 in the global market, the company will offer the product with its ColorOS Watch based on AOSP in China, which might help them to reduce the product pricing. Apart from that, the hardware specifications should remain the same.
Appearance and specification
The global version of the product is available in two different color options – Platinum Black and Mars Brown and the strap is made of “fluororubber” and stainless steel buckle.
In the front, you will look at a 1.43″ 466×466 resolution circular AMOLED display that offers a decent 326PPI pixel density. Oppo notes that the Oppo Watch X can reach up to 1000 nits in high brightness mode (typically triggered by direct sunlight or bright ambient lighting) and 600 nits of default maximum brightness. The watch comes with a 500 mAh battery and weighs around 80 grams including the strap. The Chinese version reportedly supports eSIM.
For computing needs, Oppo Watch X comes equipped with a dual chipset architecture same as the OnePlus Watch 2, where the Snapdragon W5 chip runs the heavy tasks and a ultra low-power co-processor microcontroller unit (BES2700BP) leads the system during less demanding tasks. Notably, this device is rated for 12 days of battery life. Google enabled the dual-chipset architecture as part of Wear OS 4 with OnePlus Watch 2 and we aren’t sure at this point if Oppo has managed to implement the same for the Chinese version with the AOSP-based ColorOS Watch operating system.
Pricing (rumored)
The pricing for the Chinese market isn’t official yet. Nonetheless, some previous leaks claim that the Oppo Watch X will cost around ¥1,000 (~$140) in China. This is a lot more affordable price tag as compared to the global market. For reference, the Oppo Watch X with Wear OS costs NT$10,990 (~$366) in Taiwan.
