iQOO Launches New Smartwatch Alongside Neo 9 Series Smartphones
iQOO, the Vivo sub-brand, has recently unveiled its first-ever smartwatch, the iQOO Watch, alongside the launch of the iQOO Neo 9 series smartphones. The iQOO Watch is essentially a rebadged version of the Vivo Watch 3, which was introduced in China last month. While the two devices share the same specifications, they differ in terms of pricing.
iQOO Watch Specifications and Features
The iQOO Watch features a circular dial with a 1.43-inch display that boasts a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. Users can choose from a variety of watch faces and take advantage of the always-on display mode. The smartwatch is equipped with a rotating crown and a physical button on the right side for easy navigation.
In terms of health and fitness tracking, the iQOO Watch offers a 24-hour heart-rate monitor and a SpO2 sensor. It provides four major warnings to alert users when their heart rate and blood oxygen levels are either too high or too low. The device also includes high-altitude reminders. The smartwatch features sleep tracking with interference-free infrared monitoring during the night. Additionally, it can monitor stress levels, detect high noise levels, and track menstrual cycles for women. The iQOO Watch even sends notifications when the user has been inactive for an extended period. With support for over 100 sports modes and an AI running coach, the smartwatch proves to be a versatile fitness companion.
Running on BlueOS, the iQOO Watch offers eSIM support, a built-in speaker, and a microphone that enables hands-free voice calling. The device also comes with a range of features, including QR code payment, NFC car keys, camera, and music control, among others. The smartwatch is powered by a 505mAh battery that can provide up to 7 days of usage on a single charge.
Pricing and Availability
The iQOO Watch is available in soft rubber, genuine leather, and nylon woven color options. The standard version of the smartwatch is priced at CNY 1,099 ($153), while the eSIM variant comes with a price tag of CNY 1,299 ($183). Interested buyers can purchase the iQOO Watch starting from today.
