  • OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition Launches March 29 with Built-in WeChat App

    OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition Launches March 29 with Built-in WeChat App

    Last week, Oppo, a prominent Chinese technology company, unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Watch X, in the Chinese market. Now, the company has officially disclosed the release date for its OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition. This smartwatch, which includes a built-in independent WeChat application, will be up for sale starting March 29th at 10:00 AM China time.

    Integration of WeChat in OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition

    WeChat, a versatile super app in China encompassing messaging, social media, mobile payments, and fitness tracking, is seamlessly integrated into the OPPO Watch X WeChat Edition. This integration eliminates the necessity for a smartphone, enabling users to respond to messages, view images, use voice-to-text features, access recent chats, make payments, and sync with WeChat Fitness—all directly from their wrist.

    Significance of WeChat Integration and OS Landscape

    Given the absence of Google’s Wear OS in China, most Chinese brands opt for RTOS for their wearables. OPPO, utilizing ColorOS Watch based on AOSP, shoulders the responsibility for the app ecosystem entirely. The inclusion of WeChat, a widely-used app, enhances the appeal of these wearables. OPPO has previously offered standalone WeChat functionality on its earlier watch models and plans to introduce it on the OPPO Watch 4 Pro by May 31st.

    Impressive Features of OPPO Watch X

    Apart from WeChat integration, the OPPO Watch X itself boasts remarkable features. It sports a circular design with a stainless steel case, a 1.43-inch AMOLED display safeguarded by Sapphire Crystal Glass, and operates on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. The watch supports eSIM for calls, holds MIL-STD 810H durability certification, IP68 water resistance, and offers extensive health tracking functionalities including heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels, stress tracking, and sleep analysis. With over 100 sports modes and dual-band GPS support, it caters to diverse fitness requirements. The watch provides a battery life of up to 100 hours and is available in colors like Thousands of Sails Blue, Desert Silver Moon, and Starry Night Flying.

    Oppo Watch X: 100-Hour Battery Life & Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 in China

    Oppo has recently introduced its newest smartwatch, the Watch X, in China, following its recent launch in Malaysia. Although the smartwatch maintains most of the core features found in its global version, there are specific adjustments tailored for the Chinese market. Let’s delve into the detailed specifications of the Oppo Watch X.

    Oppo Watch X Specifications

    The Oppo Watch X upholds its unique circular design, housed within a sleek stainless steel casing. Featuring a 1.43-inch AMOLED display on the front, the watch is shielded by Sapphire Crystal Glass and presents a resolution of 466×466 pixels. Notably, the screen offers a remarkable peak brightness of 1000 nits and supports Always-on Display technology.

    Design and Durability

    Incorporating two physical controls—a rotating dial and a button—protruding from the right side, the watch boasts MIL-STD 810H durability certification and IP68 water resistance up to 50 meters.

    Performance and Software

    Powering the Oppo Watch X is a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The smartwatch operates on two distinct systems, Color OS and RTOS, reminiscent of the setup in the latest OnePlus Watch 2.

    Unique Features and Battery Life

    One standout feature is the eSIM support, enabling users to make and receive calls directly from the watch, a functionality absent in the global edition. The combination of the two operating systems allows for an impressive battery life of up to 100 hours, with a full charge taking approximately 60 minutes.

    Health and Fitness Features

    In terms of health monitoring capabilities, the Watch X comes equipped with an 8-channel heart rate sensor and a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor. These sensors provide continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen levels, stress tracking, and detailed sleep analysis, including a Sleep Snoring Risk Assessment feature.

    Sports Modes and Navigation

    The watch offers over 100 sports modes with automatic recognition for activities like running, walking, cycling, and swimming. Additionally, the dual-band GPS support with a 5-satellite positioning system ensures accurate navigation. Notably, the Watch X supports a car key feature compatible with specific vehicle brands.

    Pricing and Availability

    The Oppo Watch X can be purchased in China in colors such as “Thousands of Sails Blue,” “Desert Silver Moon,” and “Starry Night Flying” at retail prices of 2499 yuan, 2399 yuan, and 2299 yuan, respectively. Interested buyers can find the smartwatch on JD.com in China.

  • Oppo Watch X Launch Confirmed on March 22 in China

    Oppo Watch X Launch Confirmed on March 22 in China

    Today, Oppo made an official announcement regarding the upcoming launch of the Oppo Watch X smartwatch in China on March 22. The Oppo Watch X had its initial debut in Malaysia on February 29 and was previously showcased as the OnePlus Watch 2 at MWC 2024 in late February.

    A notable difference between the Chinese and Global versions of the Oppo Watch X lies in the software utilized. While the global variant features Google’s Wear OS 4, the Chinese version will come with ColorOS Watch based on AOSP by Oppo, possibly resulting in a more competitive pricing strategy while maintaining consistent hardware specifications.

    Appearance and Specifications

    The global variant of the Oppo Watch X offers two color choices – Platinum Black and Mars Brown, with a strap crafted from “fluororubber” and a stainless steel buckle. The smartwatch boasts a 1.43″ 466×466 resolution circular AMOLED display with 326PPI pixel density. It can achieve up to 1000 nits in high brightness mode and 600 nits in default maximum brightness. With a 500 mAh battery and a weight of approximately 80 grams inclusive of the strap, the Chinese version is said to support eSIM functionality.

    Dual-Chipset Architecture

    In terms of processing power, the Oppo Watch X features a dual-chipset architecture similar to the OnePlus Watch 2. The Snapdragon W5 chip handles intensive tasks, while a low-power co-processor microcontroller unit (BES2700BP) manages less demanding operations. The smartwatch is designed for a 12-day battery life. Although Google introduced the dual-chipset architecture with Wear OS 4 on the OnePlus Watch 2, it remains uncertain if Oppo has integrated the same technology into the Chinese version running the AOSP-based ColorOS Watch OS.

    Pricing (Rumored)

    While the official pricing for the Chinese market is yet to be disclosed, previous leaks suggest that the Oppo Watch X could be priced around ¥1,000 ($140) in China. This rumored cost is notably more budget-friendly compared to the global market pricing. For context, the Oppo Watch X with Wear OS is currently priced at NT$10,990 ($366) in Taiwan.

  • Oppo Watch X Launching in China with eSIM and Affordable Pricing

    Oppo Watch X Launching in China with eSIM and Affordable Pricing

    On the final day of February, the Oppo Watch X was launched globally in Malaysia. Just a short while before that, the same device was introduced as the OnePlus Watch 2 at MWC 2024.

    Oppo Watch X Launch Details in China

    This smart wearable is now set to hit the market in China. A reliable source not only disclosed the release date but also provided pricing information.

    According to Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Watch X is scheduled to debut in China on March 22, although this date is subject to change.

    Pricing and Features

    The Chinese version of the watch will reportedly include eSIM support, yet it will be priced at only around ¥1,000 (~$140). In contrast, the global editions of the Oppo Watch X and OnePlus Watch 2, lacking eSIM functionality, are priced at approximately $300, which is more than double the cost in China.

    The variation in international pricing is likely due to the integration of Wear OS 4. While in China, Oppo's smartwatches run on ColorOS Watch, which is based on AOSP and does not entail significant licensing fees to Google.

    Specifications of the Oppo Watch X

    In terms of hardware, the Oppo Watch X Chinese variant is anticipated to mirror its global counterpart. This includes features like a 1.43-inch circular AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, IP68 rating, MIL-STD-810H certification, WiFi, Bluetooth, GNSS, a speaker, a microphone, a 500mAh battery, and 7.5W charging support.
