What we like about Oppo Watch 3

  • Impressive battery life, lasting up to 3-5 days in full smart mode and much longer in power-saver mode
  • Large, high-quality LTPO AMOLED curved display with high brightness and excellent visibility
  • Fast VOOC charging that provides a full day of use in just 10-15 minutes
  • Premium build quality and aesthetic design, featuring a mechanical rotating crown on the Pro model
  • Comprehensive health tracking suite including heart rate, SpO2, sleep monitoring, and ECG support
  • Independent connectivity options via eSIM and built-in GPS for phone-free use

What we don't like about Oppo Watch 3

  • Large and bulky design that may feel heavy or 'brick-like' on smaller wrists
  • Proprietary strap mechanism limits the use of standard third-party watch bands
  • Limited global availability, with some software features and app stores tailored primarily for the Chinese market
  • Inconsistent automatic workout detection and occasional accuracy issues with health metrics
  • Lack of advanced post-workout data such as VO2 Max for serious athletes

Verdict

The Oppo Watch 3 is a high-performance smartwatch featuring the dual-chip Snapdragon W5 and Apollo 4 Plus platform, supported by 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It sports a 1.75-inch curved AMOLED display with a 326 PPI density and is housed in an aluminum alloy frame with 5ATM water resistance. Key strengths include its versatile dual-engine hybrid technology that enables up to 4 days of battery life in 'Smart Mode' and 10 days in 'RTOS-only' mode, along with comprehensive health tracking like continuous SpO2, heart rate monitoring, and eSIM connectivity for independent calling. However, its primary drawbacks include its limited initial availability outside of the Chinese market and occasional reliability issues with automatic workout detection and high-intensity heart rate monitoring.
