Oppo Watch review

As WearOS watches go, few are quite as well-rounded as the Oppo Watch. It has a gorgeous display and looks the part, even if it owes a design debt to Apple. Software tweaks have helped even out performance, and the twin-CPU approach means rarely being caught with a flat battery - as long as you don't mind a reduced feature set until you next reach a plug socket. Casual fitness fans are sure to like the bitesize approach to exercise, and it comfortably undercuts both Apple and Samsung on price. Those more interested in stand-out styling or more serious sports tracking will probably want to look elsewhere, but in terms of features Oppo has the edge over the WearOS competition.

Oppo Watch review

The Oppo Watch is one of the best Wear OS smartwatches money can buy. While that isn't a particularly laudable achievement, its craftsmanship and hardware-software synergy is commendable. It does ape the Apple Watch's design, but there's a lot to like here in terms of its impressive display and fitness modes. Just be wary of the battery life, especially if you want a watch that lasts for days.

Slick design; Great display; Runs smoothly;

Battery life is poor; Unoriginal design; Wear OS is still limited

Oppo Watch review: A masterclass in imitation

The Oppo Watch isn’t especially unique in that it tries to emulate what works about the Apple Watch.

As close to an 'Apple Watch that works with Android' as you can get.

Smooth software; Gorgeous display;

Price is a little high; Proprietary charger; No eSIM; Lacks originality;

Oppo Watch review: More than just an Apple Watch clone?

There aren't many square Wear OS watches on the market, so the Oppo Watch fills that gap. The screen is great, there are plenty of watch faces, and it even tracks fitness. But it has some shortcomings that need fixing before it could be considered truly great. Still, it's a good first go.

Affordable price point; Nice and lightweight design; Vivid and bright display; Smooth overall performance;

Battery life isn't great (not even two days); Charger is clunky and awkward; Fitness tracking app lacks depth and workout modes; Hard to find different band styles and strap;

Great device

Wear OS is very good on this watch. It's very light to wear and seems you don't have nothing on your wrist.
