However, the Oppo Watch surely has been more than a bit reminiscent of the Apple Watch, but it was a great smartwatch with high performance and long battery life. Now, Oppo is certainly keen to monetize on those excellent points. According to the reports, the company has debuted an Oppo Watch 2 that follows the same successful formula as its predecessor’s.
The Oppo Watch 2 holds that Apple-resembling design with 42mm and 46mm case choices but now delivers with a swift, more powerful Snapdragon Wear 4100 SoC. And its battery life has also taken a gap forward. Oppo boasts an impressive16-day battery life when remaining in Power Saving mode. But it will ‘only’ last for four days while using in regular mode with the 46mm model. But that still recommends you could utilize the Oppo Watch 2 for an entire weekend without requiring a top-up from the VOOC charger.
Plus, you can also estimate efficient health features. Also, Oppo Watch 2 touts 24-hour heartbeat rate monitoring and blood oxygen (aka Sp02) tracking. No need to mention that it consists of 100 exercise tracking modes and swim-friendly 5ATM water resistance.
Price and Availability of Oppo Watch 2
However, we have got some more clues about Watch 2, and it is seemingly one of the excellent rectangular-screen watches.
And you know what, the big surprise is that it is available at just ¥9999 pre-order price as the price equates to around £1,100/$1,500, which would make it around three times higher than the price of the original Oppo Watch. So, we can only estimate this is a placeholder until the official cost is announced for other global markets.
At this moment, all we know is the Oppo Watch 2 has been released on 27th July but only in the Chinese market, and its releasing date for other international markets is still not disclosed.
In the given price list, you can find the cost of the OPPO Watch 2 based on its version:
- OPPO Watch 2 42 mm (Bluetooth): 1,299 yuan ($169).
- OPPO Watch 2 46 mm (eSIM): 1,999 yuan ($307).
- OPPO Watch 2 42 mm (eSIM): 1,499 yuan ($230).
Oppo Watch 2 specs
Now let’s talk about the specs of Oppo Watch 2. The Oppo Watch 2 consists of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 Plus processor packed with the Ambiq Apollo 4s co-processor. The second processor is supposed to support the smartwatch launch of a low-powered RTOS in addition to the prime operating system.
For now, it’s not sure if the Oppo Watch 2 will comprise Wear OS this time around. However, with the Snapdragon 4100 Plus SoC soldered at its core, the device should technically be capable of running Google’s latest Wear OS 3. But Google has recently released a list of current and upcoming supported devices for the software, and we haven’t seen the Oppo Watch 2 on the list. Albeit that said, features could change until the Oppo Watch 2 comes out of China to the other global markets.
Also, the new Oppo Watch 2 is rumored to comprise seven different models that come into 42mm and 46mm sizes. It might gain 6GB of storage, up from 8GB on the recent model. It is also rumored to include stress detection, a tweaked UI, remote camera control, and a new Relax application. However, these features only pertain to the Chinese version of the smartwatch.
It is dispatched to China on August 6, beginning at the equivalent of $200.
