Oppo already has a good number of smart wearables in its portfolio. There’s also one with Wear OS, one of the most flexible and feature-packed wearable wearable operating systems around. But the newly launched Oppo Watch X is different. With this, the brand is taking on the flagship options from Samsung and Google.
But it’s not just the capabilities and the power that makes the Watch X a proper alternative to the latest Google Pixel Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch. Instead, it’s also the design and the price point. Of course, it goes without saying that the new smartwatch isn’t entirely new. Instead, it’s basically the rebranded version of the OnePlus Watch 2, which also broke covers a few days back.
Main Highlights of Oppo Watch X
So, what exactly makes the Oppo Watch X worthy of consideration? Well, there are a good number of reasons. Here’s a quick rundown of some of them:
Premium and Classic Design
One of the first highlights of the Oppo Watch X is the design. With a round dial that features flush buttons on the right, the new smartwatch offers a classy and elegant look. Moreover, the wearable is available in two colors: Platinum Black and Mars Brown.
Among them, the Platinum Black has a simple yet eye-catching look to it. With a classy black strap and a deep black chassis, this colorway stands as a versatile option for both professional and casual looks. The Mars Brown, on the other hand, leans more towards classic looks. But the brown colorway of the strap isn’t too out of place. As a matter of fact, it blends well with the silver-toned chassis of the Watch X.
Durable Build Quality of Oppo Watch X
A good-looking watch doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t last. Oppo knows that exactly well. That’s why the company has opted for a durable stainless steel chassis that can easily take day-to-day abuse. What’s more is that the Oppo Watch X features sapphire crystal glass.
Oppo says that the sapphire crystal glass is over 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness. It also offers 400% better drop resistance and 50% improved puncture resistance than regular watch glasses. That means you can wear the Oppo Watch X for everyday adventures without any worries.
But Oppo didn’t stop there. The Watch X has also gone through 16 MIL-STD-810H tests and passed all of them with flying colors. You get IP68 and 5ATM waterproof resistance ratings too. All of these make this Oppo smartwatch an easy choice for adventuring in challenging environments.

Superb Wear OS Performance With Dual-Engine Architecture
As mentioned earlier, the Oppo Watch X is a Wear OS smartwatch. That automatically makes the wearable a proper competitor against the latest Galaxy Watch and Pixel Watch. But having Wear OS is one thing, and being able to offer a smooth performance with the operating system is another.
The good news is that Oppo has considered the performance aspect of the Watch X. This new smartwatch comes with dual-engine architecture, which pairs the latest Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset with BES2700. These two SoCs allow the wearable to offer fluid performance across different apps.
Speaking of which, you have a ton of choices for apps on the Oppo Watch X. It comes with Google Play, allowing you to install any supported app you like. Moreover, the watch has support for Google Assitant and Google Wallet, which makes it a proper extension to your smartphone.
Reliable Battery Life of Oppo Watch X
Thanks to the Dual-Engine architecture, the Oppo Watch X excels in terms of battery life. More specifically, the smartwatch can offer up to 100 hours of runtime in the smart mode. If you’re a heavy user, you can expect to get up to 48 hours of battery life with a single charge.
Want more? You can put the Watch X into Power Saver Mode. This mode offers access to all the essential features, such as calling and music controls, but extends the battery life to up to 12 days. It could definitely come in handy if you prefer charging wearables less often.
On the note of charging, the Oppo Watch X has VOOC Flash Charging. It can offer 1 day of use with just 10 minutes of charging. What’s more interesting is that the charging tech gets the battery from 0 to 100% in just 60 minutes.
Health and Fitness Tracking
The Oppo Watch X can help you with sleep, health, and fitness. It comes with proper sensors to track different stages of sleep and help you get a restful day. As for health, it can monitor blood oxygen, heart rate, and more. Fitness-wise, the smartwatch has more than 100 sports modes to help you achieve your fitness goals. There’s also a dual-band GPS system for offering precise location.
Price and Availability of Oppo Watch X
The launch price of the Oppo Watch X is MYR 1,399, which is around $295. At the moment, the smartwatch is only available in the Malaysian market, but Oppo should bring it to other regions soon.
