If the report is to be believed, then along with the OPPO Watch Free fitness tracker, which has already been spotted on the BIS portal, the company could launch the Enco Free 2i TWS earbuds which are expected to launch today in China. However, it has not yet been confirmed if it’s Enco Free 2i that will be launched in India early next year or some other TWS earphones from the company.

Battle For Your Wrist: Huawei Watch Fit New vs OPPO Watch Free

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 13:29:57 +0000

The Huawei Watch Fit New and the OPPO Watch Free are two new fitness trackers that were announced recently in China. Both wearables share a similar design, one that was actually pioneered by the Huawei Watch Fit released in 2020. Apart from looking alike, the two devices also have identical features but try to differ in their own unique ways.

If you are planning to pick up a fitness tracker, there is a chance these two are on your shortlist. To know which one is better, here is a comparison pitting them against each other.

Design

The two smartwatches are very similar in their appearance with subtle differences. For instance, the Huawei Watch Fit New has a physical button on the side of its frame for operation alongside support for touch input. While both are made from similar materials – a plastic frame and silicone straps – Huawei’s watch has the advantage of being available in more colors than the OPPO Watch Free. However, the latter’s leather-like silicone strap may be more appealing to buyers.

1 of 2

Another factor to be considered under design is weight. Both are pretty light but the OPPO Watch Free is the lighter one at 32.6 grams (NFC version is 33 grams) while the Huawei Watch Fit New weighs 34 grams. Most people will not be able to tell the difference seeing as the difference is very minute.

Technically, this category should be a tie, but Huawei gets an extra point for coming up with the design.

Display

Both fitness trackers have the same 1.64-inch 280 x 456 AMOLED display with 2.5D glass on top. Neither of the two fitness trackers mentions having protection for the display but we believe there should be a degree of protection against scratches.

OPPO Watch Free AI Watch Face feature gives you a watch face that matches your outfit

Users will be able to choose from more than 300 different dials on the Huawei Watch Fit New while OPPO says there are more than 100 dials to choose from. While that is fewer than what Huawei offers, OPPO adds the option to generate a custom dial for your watch using a photo of your outfit.

Activity Tracking

The Huawei Watch Fit New has 97 sports modes while OPPO says the Watch Free can track more than 100 different physical activities with support for automatic detection when running, walking, or working out using a rowing machine or elliptical bike. OPPO’s fitness tracker can also track jump rope workout, a mode Huawei plans to add to its wearable via an OTA update.

1 of 2

Both fitness trackers have built-in running coaches but the Huawei Watch Fit New has the upper hand with its built-in GPS and animated workouts that show you how to perform certain exercises.

Health Tracking

The two fitness trackers have a heart rate sensor for 24 hours heart rate monitoring, a SpO2 sensor for blood-oxygen-level monitoring, and sleep tracking. OPPO also adds snoring detection which is an important metric to determine how well a user sleeps. Huawei, on the other hand, includes stress tracking along with guided breathing exercises to help you relax. There is also a menstrual cycle reminder on the Huawei Watch Fit New that will estimate menstruation and ovulation dates.

Other Features

The Huawei Watch Fit New has NFC and thus can be used to make payments and also for commuting (bus and subway pass). There is also a built-in AI assistant for controlling compatible smart home appliances.

The standard version of the OPPO Watch Free doesn’t have NFC but has support for Alipay and WeChat payment. There is a version with NFC that will let you add your bank, bus, and subway cards for contactless payments. It also has the Breeno AI assistant built-in with support for an offline mode.

Both fitness trackers support app alerts, music playback control, call and message alerts, and have a find-my-phone feature. OPPO adds a special eSports Mode that automatically redirects notifications to the wearable when playing a game on compatible phones such as the Find X3 series and Reno6 series.

Huawei Watch Fit has a 10-day battery life

Battery life

The OPPO Watch Free has a 230mAh battery capacity that OPPO claims will last up to 14 days depending on the usage. Huawei’s fitness tracker has a 180mAh battery capacity of and its battery life is stated to be 10 days in typical usage mode.

Price

The Huawei Watch Fit New is priced at ¥799 (~$124) while the OPPO Watch Free is priced at ¥549 (~$85) for the standard version and ¥599 (~$93) for the NFC version.

Conclusion

The two fitness trackers are not only similar in terms of design but also have corresponding features. However, differentiating ones such as the eSports mode on the OPPO Watch Free and the animated workouts as well as built-in GPS on the Huawei Watch Fit New can sway buyers to choose one over the other.

Another major difference is the price tag. The Huawei Watch Fit New costs about $30 more than the OPPO Watch Free NFC version, and for folks who are on a tight budget, they will prefer to pick up OPPO’s fitness tracker.

One advantage Huawei has is experience in the wearable space, an area OPPO can still be considered a greenhorn. Huawei has been making smartwatches and fitness trackers for years and has been able to fine-tune features across models. We should expect better tracking on the Huawei Watch Fit New in addition to having a companion app that is well put together. Bearing this in mind, only a usage-based comparison can tell which fitness tracker provides the better experience.

OPPO Watch Free packs an AMOLED screen, 100+ sports modes, an eSports mode, and a 14-day battery life

Habeeb Onawole — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 17:06:15 +0000

OPPO has announced a new wearable today. The OPPO Watch Free arrives with the features expected of a health tracker but also adds some unique ones of its own.

The OPPO Watch Free has a 1.64-inch AMOLED display with a 280 x 456 resolution, DCI-P3 color gamut, and a 326 PPI pixel density. The rectangular display is housed in a frame made of polycarbonate and fiber while the underside is covered in a material made of nylon plastic (PA) and fiber. Attached to the watch are silicone straps with a leather texture which OPPO claims are breathable and comfortable to wear during sleep.

As expected, there is a heart rate monitor, and the OPPO Watch Free will display the five heart rate zones in real-time. It will also warn the user when the heart rate is too high or too low. There is also sleep tracking, snoring detection, music playback control, and support for WeChat and Alipay contactless payment. The wearable has an NFC version that allows you to store bus cards and bank cards for contactless payment. The OPPO Watch Free also comes with OPPO’s Breeno voice assistant with support for an offline mode.

One neat feature the OPPO Watch Free has is an eSports mode. When activated, all notifications and alerts are automatically sent to the watch instead of appearing on your phone. The eSports mode works only with the OPPO Find X3 series and Reno6 series. However, OPPO says that more of its phones will gain support later. There is also a sleep mode on the watch which when activated, turns on Do Not Disturb mode on your phone.

The fitness tracker has a 230mAh battery that will provide up to 14 days of usage. It also supports fast charging as OPPO claims a quick 5-minute charge will provide enough charge to last a day. It connects via Bluetooth 5.0 and it is compatible with Android devices running Android 6.0 and later as well as devices running iOS 10.0 and later.

The OPPO Watch Free is available in two colors Quicksand Gold and Silent Night Black. The price tag is ¥549 (~$85) for the standard version and ¥599 (~$93) for the NFC version. It is already available for pre-order on JD.com ahead of its September 30 release date.

OPPO Watch Free officially confirmed to launch on September 26

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 14:07:21 +0000

OPPO has officially announced that it would launch a new smartwatch dubbed OPPO Watch Free in China. The company revealed this via a post on Weibo, indicating that the launch event will hold on September 26. The post is accompanied by renders of the device, giving us a good look at the design.

From the teaser poster, we can gather that the OPPO Watch Free will feature a vertically elongated rectangular display similar to that of the Huawei Watch Fit and the more recently announced Realme Band 2. The screen is surrounded by what we believe is a metal frame that is coated black on the black variant and gold on the beige model. The watch won’t have a phyical button just like the Realme Band 2. Instead, users will make do with the touchscreen display. In addition, the Watch Free will feature a textured rubber strap with ridges for breathability and comfort.

Te posters, the Watch Free will have some sort of sleep tracking that will allow you to wear it at night. We’ll know what kind of OS will the device run in two days, and we’ll also learn the exact pricing and availability details.

At the moment, other details of the smartwatch are still not in the open. However, we don’t expect its specifications to be as studded as the Watch 2. That also points at a cheaper price tag.

Apart from the Watch Freee, OPPO is also expected to launch the Oppo K9 Pro smartphone and a Smart TV on that same day.

Press renders of OPPO Watch Free reveal a more premium-looking Realme Band 2

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 16:52:19 +0000

Earlier this month, we reported that one of OPPO’s upcoming products this month is a new wearable that will launch as the OPPO Watch Free. Ahead of the launch, a leak has given us an early look at the device which appears to be more of a fitness tracker than a watch. It also has a familiar design, one that we have seen from multiple manufacturers.

The renders were posted on Twitter by Evan Blass a.k.a. ‘evleaks’, and they not only show the watch from different angles, but also show the two colorways it will be avilable in.

The OPPO Watch Free has a vertically elongated rectangular display similar to that of the Huawei Watch Fit and the more recently announced Realme Band 2. The screen is surrounded by what we believe is a metal frame that is coated black on the black variant and gold on the beige model. Just like the Realme Band 2, this too doesn’t have any physical button which means all operations will be by the touch display.

Attached to the case is a textured rubber strap with ridges for breathability and comfort.

We do not know the specifications of the OPPO Watch Free but it should not pack as many features as the OPPO Watch 2 and will definitely cost less too. OPPO is yet to announce a launch date but it is expected to be unveiled this month.

OPPO Watch Free to launch this month, tablet may arrive alongside Reno7 series

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 18:54:11 +0000

OPPO may not have a flagship phone to launch in the second half of the year like its competitors but the Chinese manufacturer does have some interesting products coming before 2021 wraps up. A new leak has not only revealed that it has a new smartwatch planned for release this month, but has also provided details of other products.

The new smartwatch, which will launch as the OPPO Watch Free according to Digital Chat Station, will be OPPO’s second watch this year when it is announced by the end of September. The BBK-owned company announced a successor to its first smartwatch, the OPPO Watch, back in July. Seeing as the OPPO Watch 2 just went on sale last month, this new watch may be a less-powerful model with a more affordable price tag. Let’s hope this watch isn’t missing in action like the OPPO Watch RX that was announced last year but never released.

There are no details about the features of the watch but there is a possibility it may run RTOS instead of ColorOS Watch.

The Chinese leaker also disclosed that OPPO is already working on adapting its OS for its upcoming foldable device and tablet. However, the development is slow and the tablet won’t arrive anytime soon. Although, there is a possibility it will launch with the Reno7 series which should arrive before the year ends.

The Reno7 series will most likely launch in December, thus allowing for about six months between it and the Reno6 series that was announced in May. Details should begin to surface once we are in the fourth quarter.

OPPO teases a new smartwatch with ‘almost no shortcomings’

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Thu, 27 May 2021 19:50:34 +0000

OPPO entered the wearable category last year with the launch of the OPPO Watch. Since then, the company has released only one more wearable in the form of the OPPO Band. Both these products got multiple variants in the months following the launch of the original. Now, the company teases the launch of its next smartwatch.

Earlier today, ahead of the OPPO Reno6 series launch event in China, the company held an exclusive conference for media. At this meeting, the company revealed that it will be launching a new smartwatch.

Unfortunately, the firm did not say when it will be unveiling this wearable. However, it confirmed that this upcoming OPPO Watch will have ‘almost no shortcomings’. Lastly, this smartwatch will feature a chip called Apollo4s, co-developed by Ambiq and OPPO.

Although OPPO is yet to reveal the official name of this smartwatch, a new trademark filing by the company suggests that this watch could launch as OPPO Watch Free. OPPO filed this trademark with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) earlier this week. Anyway, this is just a wild guess, and therefore, we request you consider this information with a pinch of salt.

That said, we expect to learn more about this mysterious OPPO Watch before its launch via certifications, leaks, and official teasers.
