Oppo’s first Wear OS smartwatch has now officially launched globally with two variants powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset plus much more.
With the Wear OS segment lacking any real innovation thanks to an almost monopoly of Fossil-branded hardware, it’s great to see a new players enter the space. Oppo’s first Wear OS device, the Oppo Watch is now officially going global today with a familiar design but offers an interesting take on the Google wearable OS.
The smartwatch has already had a China-only launch but came with an “Android-based” operating system but that is obviously not the case now the Oppo Watch is launching in Western markets. Alongside some Oppo-exclusive features and functions, we’ll also get Google’s standard Wear OS fares including Google Fit, Google Pay, the Google Assistant, and all the apps you’ve come to know and love on the Play Store.
Oppo’s first Wear OS smartwatch will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset but also comes with a Ambiq Micro Apollo3 co-processor that will help with extended lifespan and longevity.
