The Oppo Watch is powered by a dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 2500 processor with an Apollo 3 co-processor. The choice of the processor is strange, considering most smartwatches from the last year have the latest chipsets. The smartwatch runs ColorOS, which is claimed to be based on an unspecified version of Android. It is not clear whether Google Play services will work on the smartwatch as they do on a Wear OS smartwatch. The Oppo Watch also comes with support for an eSIM, which will allow making and receiving calls, and sending SMS without having to rely on the paired phone.
Since it is also a fitness-centric smartwatch, Oppo has given water resistance on the Oppo Watch for up to 5ATM. The Oppo Watch supports VOOC charging technology that is rated to top up half the battery in 17 minutes. In cases where the battery needs to be conserved, the Oppo Watch will switch from the Snapdragon 2500 SoC to the Apollo 3 chip. This will help the smartwatch last longer Oppo claims a single charge can offer a battery life of 40 hours on normal usage while the battery saving mode can take the longevity of the battery to about 21 days.
