Third-party reviews

What we like about Oppo Watch X3

  • The titanium case weighs 43 g without the strap.
  • Fall detection is a useful safety net for solo runs.
  • Power saver mode can stretch to 16 days.
  • Dual-band GPS holds accurate routes near tall buildings.
  • The screen reaches 3000 nits in sport mode.
  • Splash touch still works with wet hands.

What we don't like about Oppo Watch X3

  • The 47.4 mm case is large on thin wrists.
  • There is no iPhone support, so it works with Android only.
  • There is no eSIM, so calls need the phone nearby.
  • Hard training cuts the battery to about three days.
  • Heart-rate data takes three to four seconds to update when pace changes.

Verdict

Slim titanium and fall detection are what set the Oppo Watch X3 apart. The case weighs 43 g without the strap and is only 11 mm thick, comfortable enough to wear in bed. The battery lasts 5 days, and a full charge takes 75 min. Hard training cuts that to three or four days, but the power saver mode can stretch to 16 days. The dual-band GPS holds a route well between tall buildings and in dense forest. The screen reads well in strong sun and gets to 3000 nits in sport mode. The trade-off is that it works only with Android phones, and there is no eSIM, so calls rely on the phone. It suits a runner or hiker who wants a light titanium watch that lasts days.
