Third-party reviews

What customers like about Oppo Watch 3 Pro

  • Impressive 5-day battery life in smart mode, significantly outperforming many rivals.
  • Large 1.91-inch LTPO AMOLED curved display with high resolution and excellent brightness.
  • VOOC Flash Charging provides a full day of use from just 10 minutes of charging.
  • Premium build quality featuring a digital crown with haptic feedback and a stainless steel frame.
  • Comprehensive health tracking including heart rate, SpO2, and the addition of ECG monitoring.
  • Support for standalone eSIM connectivity for calls and mobile data.

What customers don't like about Oppo Watch 3 Pro

  • Large and heavy physical profile (48.5mm size) may be uncomfortable for users with smaller wrists.
  • Limited global software support as the current version is primarily marketed for China and lacks Google Play/Wear OS.
  • Proprietary strap connectors limit third-party band options and are incompatible with previous generations.
  • Auto-workout detection for activities like cycling can occasionally be unreliable.
  • Lack of independent SMS support through eSIM functionality in certain configurations.

Verdict

The Oppo Watch 3 Pro is a flagship smartwatch featuring a 1.91-inch LTPO curved AMOLED display with a 378 x 496 resolution and a smooth 60Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the dual-chip Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and Apollo 4 Plus architecture, supported by 1GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Key characteristics include standalone eSIM connectivity, 5ATM water resistance, and a comprehensive health suite including ECG, continuous SpO2, and vascular health monitoring. Its main pros are the efficient LTPO screen that enables a 5-day battery life in 'Full Smart' mode (extending to 15 days in 'Light' mode) and fast VOOC charging that provides a full day of use in 10 minutes. However, notable cons include its large 50.4mm chassis which may be bulky for smaller wrists, the lack of a global release with standard Wear OS (primarily using ColorOS Watch in China), and limited compatibility with older watch straps.
