Oppo's First Smartwatch, Oppo Watch, Gets a Surprise Discount
In 2020, Oppo made its mark in the smartwatch market with the introduction of the Oppo Watch, coinciding with the launch of the Oppo Find X2 series in March of the same year. This marked the company's foray into wearable technology.
Surprise Discount on Official Straps
Several years after its initial release, Oppo Watch's official straps saw a significant price drop in China. The wearable was initially rolled out in select global markets, making it the sole smartwatch from Oppo to have a presence outside mainland China.
Variety of Straps for Every Style
Available in 41mm and 46mm variants, each with unique strap sizes, the Oppo Watch offers a range of choices for users. The official straps are not only available in multiple colors but are also crafted from different materials such as fluoro rubber, nylon, leather, and stainless steel.
Clearance Sale Highlights
During a limited-time clearance sale, all official straps were priced at just ¥1 each, making it a bargain for owners of the original Oppo Watch in China. However, considering the age of the device, which was powered by the outdated 28nm Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 chip, active users of this nearly four-year-old smartwatch may be scarce.
Technical Specifications and Features
The original Oppo Watch boasts a 1.91-inch OLED display with curved edges, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and an optional eSIM. While the Chinese version runs on ColorOS Watch based on AOSP, the global variant, equipped with the more advanced Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset, shipped with Wear OS.
For those interested in personalizing their Oppo Watch or replacing worn-out straps, this discounted offering was a rare opportunity to upgrade their wearable tech without breaking the bank.
