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.

    iQOO Neo 9 Series to be Launched in China on December 27th, Featuring iQOO Watch and iQOO TWS 1e

    Following the successful launch of the iQOO 12 5G last month, Vivo's sub-brand iQOO is gearing up to unveil its next-generation Neo 9 Series in China. The highly anticipated Neo 9 Series is scheduled to be launched on December 27, 2023.

    In addition to the Neo 9 Series, iQOO has officially announced the release of two more products: the iQOO Watch and iQOO TWS 1e. A recent leak shared by 91mobiles gave a sneak peek into the design of both products, which appears to be consistent with the official posters released by the brand.

    The iQOO Watch marks the brand's entry into the smartwatch market. The poster reveals a round or circular display with a functional crown and a button.

    Similarly, the upcoming iQOO TWS 1e seems to be based on Vivo's TWS 3e, as is the case with most iQOO earbuds. The poster for the TWS 1e confirms that it will be available in Black and White color variants. Key features such as spatial audio, 11mm dynamic drivers, an impressive 9 hours of battery life with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) enabled, and DeepX 3.0 technology are expected to remain unchanged.
