It was three years ago that OPPO entered the smartwatch category.
Now the mobile tech company has released an extraordinary feat with their Watch X.
1.43 inch in size the bright, vivid and fully responsive AMOLED screen simply pops with information on your health, your fitness and of course the time of day.
The OPPO Watch X is a supreme wearable but without that elitist price tag.
The strap is a very comfy silicone, although from pictures it almost looks leather.
There’s two tactile buttons to the right of the watch bezel and this will get you into the apps screen as well as fitness programs. To get to your settings and notifications and to customize the screen it’s a series of swipes on the watch face. you can also get a quick view on your health and fitness stats this way as well.
About to take a hearty walk, run a marathon, cycle long distance or take a dip, the OPPO Watch X is ready to join you and is dust resistant, water resistant to 50m and built for rough and tough regimes.
Built on Google’s WearOS the OPPO Watch X does need OPPOs ‘O Health’ app to fully function. Trying to connect up with the Wear OS app just doesn’t work.
If you’re using an Android phone the sync up is straightforward. iOS is of course a little more tricky with varying compromises, but you can connect.
The OPPO Watch X syncs via Bluetooth and while definitely customizable, you can swap out your watch face, add new ones, install apps and set notifications.
The OPPO Watch X has 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage. Plenty of space to add in apps and stream Spotify from.
From sleeping through heart health, general fitness and more, you can set goals on the O Health app which will sync to your Watch X. Feeling stressed, check your status from your wrist. The best feature of all is the battery life.
OPPO state you can get up to 4 days from a single charge, or 12 days on power saving mode with its 500mAh battery.
On first run I was able to get 2 days max. But on the second full charge it was around 5 days. The length of charge and life in the watch will always depend on your physical movements, amount of calls or other hands free activities you do, brightness settings and other bits during normal or heavy use. A quick 10-15 minute charge will net you around 24 hours use. This is actually very true.
Comparing the OPPO Watch X to their previous model a few years ago, it’s clear to see that OPPO have done a lot of R & D since then. It’s important to note here that the OPPO Watch X is not LTE. You won’t need a plan, but this also means that the wearable is fully reliant on your phone.
The OPPO Watch X I’ve found to be the most reliable, longest lasting smartwatch I have used in the past couple of years.
Priced to be affordable to all, the OPPO Watch X puts the power of wearable smarts, fitness coaching, health monitoring and hands free convenience on the wrists of everyone while looking elite at the same time.
