Five reason to consider OPPO Watch

Intriguing design

The OPPO Watch looks similar to the Apple Watch but has a touch of novelty, which makes it one of the better-looking propositions in smartwatch segment. Moreover, the design is accentuated by side-curved glass on the display, which improves usability and feels natural to use and operate. The Watch comes in two sizes, and the 46mm variant seems good for those who prefer bigger dial and display. The 41mm variant, however, is lightweight and feels comfortable to use.

Intuitive display with watch faces

Display takes centre stage on the OPPO Watch series. It is an AMOLED display with side-curved profile, something similar to a display in the OPPO Reno4 Pro smartphone. The side-curve is subtle an it seems optimised for on-screen content. It works great with gesture navigations. Besides, the Watch supports watch faces that make it look different and unique each time you switch to a new one.

Protection from water is important for a device that will cling to your wrist for most part of the day. Thankfully, the OPPO Watch is 5ATM tested, meaning it is water resistant to up to 50 metres in depth for 10 minutes.

Besides, there are several other Google services like Google Assistant for voice commands, Google Pay for digital payments and Google Play for apps and watch faces. Moreover, the OS supports call and apps notifications with quick reply option, and online music streaming.
