Oppo has recently launched the Oppo Watch X in Europe, following its initial debut in China back in March 2024. The smartwatch is quite similar to the OnePlus Watch 2 in terms of specifications.

Oppo Watch X Specs

The Oppo Watch X has a circular design with a polished stainless steel case. It features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display protected by Sapphire Crystal Glass, with a 466×466 pixel resolution and 1000-nit peak brightness. The display supports Always-on technology.

The watch includes two physical controls: a rotating dial and a button on the right side. It is MIL-STD 810H certified for durability and has IP68 water resistance up to 50 meters.

The Oppo Watch X runs on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It uses two operating systems: WearOS 4 and RTOS. Color OS runs on the W5 Gen 1 chip, while RTOS, using a BES2700 chip with 4GB of eMMC storage, handles background tasks and light activities like calls and notifications.

The dual operating systems provide a battery life of up to 100 hours, with a full charge taking about 60 minutes. That said, the watch also has VOOC Flash Charging that provides a day’s worth of battery on a 10-minute charge.

Health features include an 8-channel heart rate sensor and a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor for continuous heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, and stress tracking. It also offers sleep analysis, including a Sleep Snoring Risk Assessment.

The watch supports over 100 sports modes with automatic recognition for activities such as running, walking, cycling, and swimming. It includes dual-band GPS (L1 + L5) with a 5-satellite positioning system (Beidou, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS) for accurate navigation.

Pricing & availability

The Oppo Watch X is now available in the UK at a discounted price of £279, with a future retail price of £299. In EU countries, the smartwatch will be sold for €329.

Last week, Chinese tech giant Oppo announced its latest smartwatch Watch X in the Chinese market. Now the company has officially announced the sale date for its OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition. The smartwatch, featuring a built-in independent WeChat app, will be available for purchase starting March 29th, 10:00 AM China time.

For those unfamiliar, WeChat is a super app in China, handling everything from messaging and social media to mobile payments and even fitness tracking. Its integration into the OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition eliminates the need for a smartphone, allowing users to reply to messages (text, voice, or emoji), view pictures, utilize voice-to-text, access recent chats, make WeChat payments, and even sync with WeChat Fitness – all directly from their wrist.

This development is particularly significant considering the absence of Google’s Wear OS in China. This has led almost all Chinese brands, with a few exceptions, to adopt RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) for their wearables. OPPO uses ColorOS Watch, built upon AOSP (Android Open Source Project), placing the responsibility for the app ecosystem entirely on their shoulders.

With limited app ecosystems on these wearables, the inclusion of the ever-popular WeChat is a major selling point. OPPO has offered standalone WeChat functionality on previous watch models as well. The company has also announced that the independent WeChat app will be available on the OPPO Watch 4 Pro by May 31st.

But the biggest news might be the potential for iPhone compatibility. As reported by ITHome, this could be the first instance of a WeChat app on an Android wearable that connects to iOS devices. It is not officially confirmed though.

Beyond the WeChat integration, the OPPO Watch X itself boasts impressive features. The smartwatch features a circular design with a polished stainless steel case and a 1.43-inch AMOLED display protected by Sapphire Crystal Glass. It runs on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, utilizing both ColorOS and RTOS operating systems.

The watch offers eSIM support for calls and boasts MIL-STD 810H durability certification and IP68 water resistance. It provides extensive health tracking capabilities including heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels, stress tracking, and sleep analysis. With over 100 sports modes and dual-band GPS support, it caters to various fitness needs. The watch offers a battery life of up to 100 hours and is available in Thousands of Sails Blue,” “Desert Silver Moon,” and “Starry Night Flying” colors.

Oppo has officially launched its latest Watch X smartwatch in China, less than a month after its Malaysian debut. While the smartwatch retains the same core specifications as its global counterpart, there are a few key differences catered to the Chinese market. So let’s get into the specifications here. 

Oppo Watch X Specifications

The Oppo Watch X maintains its distinctive circular design with a polished stainless steel case. The front has a 1.43-inch AMOLED display that is protected by Sapphire Crystal Glass and boasts a 466×466 pixel resolution.  The screen has an impressive 1000-nit peak brightness and supports Always-on Display technology.

There are two physical controls – a rotating dial and a button – that protrude from the right side of the case. The watch also has MIL-STD 810H durability certification and IP68 water resistance to a depth of 50 meters.

Under the hood, the Oppo Watch X runs on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Software-wise, it runs two operating systems, Color OS, and RTOS, much like in the latest OnePlus Watch 2. 

Color OS runs on the W5 Gen 1 chip, while RTOS uses a separate BES2700 chip, along with 4GB of eMMC storage. RTOS stays on continuously, handling background tasks and more light activities like calls and notifications. 

There’s also eSIM support which means you can use the watch to make and take calls. This feature is missing on the global variant of the Oppo Watch X.

Nonetheless, thanks to the combination of two operating systems, the Oppo Watch X offers a battery life of up to 100 hours. It takes around 60 minutes to fully charge the device. 

As for health and wellness, the Watch X is equipped with an 8-channel heart rate sensor and a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor that covers continuous heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels, and stress tracking. It also offers comprehensive sleep analysis, including a Sleep Snoring Risk Assessment feature.

Moreover, you get over 100 sports modes with automatic recognition for activities like running, walking, cycling, and swimming.  The watch also has dual-band GPS (L1 + L5) support with a 5-satellite positioning system (Beidou, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS) that lets you navigate your route easily and accurately. There’s also support for car key feature in vehicles of brands like Ideal, BYD, Te Nengxing, Leapmotor, Maverick Electric, and Venucia.

Pricing and Availability

The Oppo Watch X is available in China in “Thousands of Sails Blue,” “Desert Silver Moon,” and “Starry Night Flying” colors at retail prices of 2499 yuan, 2399 yuan, and 2299 yuan, respectively. You can buy the smartwatch from JD.com in China.

The post Oppo Watch X arrives in China with 100-hour battery claim and Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post Oppo Watch X officially confirmed to launch on March 22 in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Oppo has confirmed that it will announce the OPPO Watch X running on WearOS, which will launch on February 29th in Malaysia. As shown in the image below, it will be the company’s first smartwatch with a round dial, deviating from the square design of its previous models. It appears that it could be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Watch 2, which is scheduled to debut on Feb. 26v at the MWC 2024 tech event.

OPPO Watch X pre-order begins in Malaysia

The Watch X is available for pre-order on OPPO’s website with a deposit amount of RM 50 (~$10) in Malaysia. It will arrive in two strap options: Mars Brown and Platinum Black. The company is yet to confirm the key specifications of the smartwatch.

The OPPO Watch X, with model number OWWE231, was spotted in Malaysia’s SRIM certification database in November 2023. Coincidentally, the OnePlus Watch 2, identified with a similar model number of OPWWE231, was observed in India’s certification database in October 2023. This suggests that the OPPO Watch X and OnePlus Watch 2 might be the same devices marketed under different names for various regions.

The same device is also said to be heading to the Chinese market as well. The China variant of the device, which has the OWW231 model number, has already been approved by MIIT and 3C certification platforms in the country. These certifications have revealed that the smartwatch will support 4G LTE connectivity via eSIM. It is expected to launch in March in China with the OPPO Watch 4 branding.

For those who don’t OPPO is also offering the OPPO Watch 4 Pro with a square display in China (announced in August 2023).
