Oppo recently stepped foot into the wearables segment in India with the launch of the Oppo Watch. It is the Chinese giant’s first smartwatch. And though it has an uncanny resemblance to the Apple Watch, you have a boatload of features including a premium design, built-in GPS, heart rate sensor, fast-charging, and much more.

  • Design & Display

Oppo has not cut any corners in the design department, with aluminum alloy used to construct the body of the smartwatch. It also has a matte finish to add to the premium appeal of both the variants. They both also have a home button and a multi-functional secondary button on the right edge. The heart rate sensor and charging pogo pins are located at the bottom, which is made of ceramic on the 46mm variant.

Design & Display

The 41mm Oppo Watch will not only be smaller in size but also have big black bezels all around the display. You will, however, see curved edges on the right and left of the 46mm variant. The rubber straps – look very similar to that of the Apple Watch – are the same across the board.

Internals

Oppo Watch is powered by a dual-chip endurance system. It includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 and Ambiq Micro Apollo3 co-processor aboard both 41mm and 46mm variants. The chipsets are coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB built-in storage. The similarities don’t end there. The Oppo Watch is also powered by Wear OS, offering you access to Google apps, Play Store, and the Google Assistant (thanks to the mic and speaker hardware) support in tow.

  • Sensors & Activity Tracking

All of the sensors, including the accelerometer, gyroscope, and the optical heart rate sensor, are baked at the bottom of the Oppo Watch. This enables continuous 24/7 heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and sedentary reminders. The company also offers guided breathing exercises to help you destress during work breaks.

Battery

While most of the features are similar across the two variants, the smaller 41mm Oppo Watch sports a smaller 300mAh battery in comparison to the 430mAh battery aboard the 46mm Oppo Watch. So, how does the battery backup look like?

The smartwatch operates in two modes – smart mode and power saver mode. You will see the 41mm variant deliver up to 24 hours of battery life in smart mode while the power saver mode will offer up to 14 days of standby time.

To sum up everything that we have discussed above, here’s how the two Oppo Watch variants compare on paper:

Which Variant Would You Buy?

Before I make a case for what variant suits what type of user, you should know that the 41mm Oppo Watch is priced at Rs. 14,999 while the 46mm Oppo Watch is priced at Rs. 19,990 in India.
