If you’ve already coveted the Apple Watch but are an end-to-end Android fan, you’ll likely be pleased with Oppo’s entry into the connected watch market. The company has unveiled its digital watch, the Oppo Watch – as well as a new flagship phone, the Oppo Find X2 Pro, at a press conference in China on Friday, following which he made immediate comparisons with Apple’s iconic square wrist accessory. It’s not an exact duplicate – it doesn’t have Apple’s digital crown – but the slightly curved screen surrounded by metal and a seamless band attachment feels remarkably familiar.
The 4.5mm thick body of the watch is made from a combination of aluminum and 3D curved crystal glass, with a ceramic back. A 1.91-inch AMOLED screen would have a “flexible hyperboloid screen” and offer a density of 326 pixels per inch. The straps are made of fluorinated rubber or Italian calfskin and can be exchanged for other models depending on a particular outfit or occasion.
Key features and specifications include:
- Built-in e-SIM cellular connectivity, which can be used to make calls via your phone number or watch number
- Listen to music
- Make payments
- Monitoring of physical condition (the watch is water resistant to 50 meters)
- Sleep monitoring
- Dual chip system to preserve battery life (40 hours on a charge or 21 days in power saving mode) and the company’s VOOC Flash charging technology which takes 75 minutes to reach charge complete
The Oppo Watch will be available worldwide, the company said, arriving first in China on March 24. In China, the watch will run on the ColorOS based on Android, but will be available in other versions adapted to each country.
