Smartwatches are increasing in popularity, with more and more people using them these days
The great thing about smartwatches is that they're more than just a watch. With all the abilities of a smartphone like making phone calls, replying messages, downloading favourite applications, and even monitoring health and sleep, it's like having a personal assistant on your wrist.
Plus, there are loads of different styles available, making smartwatches a fashion statement.
From helping us organise our schedules, to keeping track of our health progression, and even supporting our daily needs, smartwatches do it all, making our lives easier and pushing us to keep going.
Encouraging people to always Keep Up, Keep Connected, OPPO introduces the OPPO Watch Series
Through a culmination of years of research and development, OPPO has paid attention to every little detail to bring you the best smartwatch experience.
Incorporating an established ecosystem such as Wear OS by Google, the OPPO Watch Series truly checks all the boxes of a good smartwatch. With its large ecosystem and usability, including things like Google Assistant and Play Store, it'll definitely make your life so much easier.
1. Powered by Wear OS by Google, the OPPO Watch Series has access to Google apps and services
Besides allowing access to Google apps and services, Wear OS by Google also lets you download over 4,000 apps on the Play Store, provides access to Google Assistant, and lets you make contactless payments through NFC.
Plus, other OPPO Watch functions include messaging, music streaming on the go with Spotify and KKBox, access to Google Translate, reminders, and more. You can even download and reply to messages on messaging apps like FB Messenger, WeChat, and WhatsApp.
Now, you don't have to worry about not having a smartphone around, 'cause you can do it all from your watch—all you need is Wi-Fi!
And if you're already an OPPO user, you'll find the OPPO Watch's system very familiar, as it combines customisable features with design excellence and rich user experience, inspired by ColorOS.
2. It's the world's first smartwatch with 3D Dual-Curved Display
Equipped with the world's first 3D flexible dual-curved display, the OPPO Watch has a flagship display that is usually used on smartphones. The smoothly curved surface delivers larger-than-life visuals. It even uses AMOLED technology to ensure that the 1.91-inch display covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.
To ensure a seamless bond between the 3D glass crystal and the curved display, with no ridges or crevices, the OPPO Watch goes through a rigorous 19-step polishing process. It also features the Always-On Display, showing you all the important information you need, without draining battery life.
The premium design feels like a flagship smartphone has been interpreted into a smartwatch. This new, stylish look is totally on-trend and fashionable.
3. There are multiple colours and faces for you to choose from
Changing the strap is super easy, thanks to the highly corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy frame with a one-button strap removal function.
Not only will you be able to change the strap, you can even change the overall look of the watch too! Just use the HeyTap Health App to easily switch between any of the pre-installed watch faces.
Or, you can opt to customise your own watch face through Style-Matching AI Watch Face. All you have to do is snap a photo of your OOTD, and the OPPO Watch will generate a unique watch face according to the colours and textures in your photo!
The OPPO Watch is the first smartwatch to have this unique feature, letting you match your watch face to your outfit to create a complete fashion set. It's the ultimate accessory that goes with any look, perfectly complementing all your OOTDs.
4. With more power, you can do so much more with the OPPO Watch series
Using OPPO’s own Dual-Chip Endurance System, the OPPO Watch series easily switches between its two processors—the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip-driven Smart mode, and an Apollo3 chip-driven Power Saver mode.
Smart mode will give you a comprehensive Wear OS by Google experience, with up to 36 hours of battery life at full charge. Meanwhile, in Power Saver mode, you'll still get to use the basic watch functions of display time, step count, heart rate tracking, and receiving notifications, with an ultra-long battery life of 21 days at full charge.
It doesn't even take long to charge the OPPO Watch. Thanks to VOOC Flash Charging, a new technology that allows charging in a fast and safe way, it only takes about 75 minutes to charge to full. But even just 15 minutes of charging is enough for a full day's use.
5. For those who are into fitness, the OPPO Watch series will be your training partner on the go
The OPPO Watch is fitted with five exercise sensors, as well as a GPS + GLONASS navigation system that accurately tracks your exercise routes, measuring heart rate, calories burnt, and more.
It also has the ability to measure your sleep and heart rate, as well as provide breathing guidance and 'get moving' notifications when you've been idle for too long.
On top of the 90+ trackable workouts available on Google Fit, there are also five OPPO-developed workout modes: Fitness Run, Fat Burn Run, Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Cycling, and Swimming. Under these modes, you'll get targeted guidance in addition to the basic exercise data tracking.
It even has a built-in 5-Min Workout app that provides tutorials with voice guidance, perfect for those who wanna squeeze a quick workout into their busy schedules.
The OPPO Watch (46mm) is also registered with 5ATM water resistance rating, so you can do even more activities both in water and on land.
The OPPO Watch is available in two variants—41mm and 46mm. The 41mm variant is priced at RM899, while the 46mm variant is available at RM1,299.
You can get the devices from OPPO Official Concept Stores, OPPO Official E-commerce stores, OPPO Official dealer stores, as well as E-commerce partners, and Chain Store Partners.
Besides that, the limited edition OPPO FindX2 Pro Green Vegan Leather Edition only comes in a special bundle with the OPPO Watch!
The set contains:
- 46mm OPPO Watch
- Additional watch strap worth RM159
- Exclusive OPPO FindX2 Green Vegan Leather
Plus, OPPO is also offering complimentary 120GB of OPPO Cloud Storage for six months, which can be redeemed via My OPPO App.
