Oppo Watch 3 tipped to sport better battery life and high screen-to-body ratio

Oppo Watch 3 aims at more battery life and high screen-to-body ratio

According to Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Watch 3 series will consist of three models with model numbers OWW211/212/213. The info tidbits that the leaker shared on Chinese social media website Weibo also indicate a better battery life (although no details are disclosed on how better) and a high screen-to-body ratio, maybe looking to trim some bezels down from its predecessor.

The colors the smartwatch will come in are black, silver, dark gray, and light gold.


As for the release date, it seems like we are looking at a second half of 2022 release for the Oppo Watch 3. Digital Chat Station's post states “In the second half of the year, the focus is on new flagships, new equipment, and new systems”, which, although the machine translation butchers up the grammar a little bit, could mean that that's when we see the wearables.

The post also mentions Oppo Band 2, which will reportedly come in black and blue models, featuring NFC and blood oxygen monitoring.

The tipster also indicates all the functions of the Oppo Watch 2 will make their way onto the new model. Pretty much, we expect 24-hour heart rate tracking, blood oxygen and stress monitoring, alongside sleep analytics.

And, the improvement in the battery life indicated by the tipster may actually make this smartwatch pretty endurant in terms of battery. Its predecessor rocked Ultra Dynamic Dual Engine which ensured up to 4 days of battery life on a single charge and up to a stunning 16 days in Power Saver mode.

Yes, it may look like an Apple Watch, but it definitely doesn't crave charging every day like one. It remains to be seen if it will be available in the United States, and awesome battery life or not, it might still be a challenge for Oppo to reach the likes of Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch in terms of popularity and market share.
