Third-party reviews

What we like about Vivo Watch 2

  • Long-lasting battery life (up to 14 days typical use, up to 7 days with eSIM)
  • Premium build quality with 316L stainless steel frame
  • Sharp 1.43-inch AMOLED display with vibrant colors
  • Supports independent cellular connectivity via eSIM
  • Comprehensive health tracking including SpO2, heart rate, and sleep monitoring
  • 5ATM water resistance suitable for swimming
  • Built-in NFC for contactless payments
  • Includes independent music playback with 2GB of storage

What we don't like about Vivo Watch 2

  • Proprietary operating system limits third-party app availability
  • Only available in one size (46mm), which may be too large for smaller wrists
  • Limited customisation options for watch faces compared to Wear OS
  • Lack of advanced health features like ECG or blood pressure monitoring
  • Accuracy of specific metrics like sleep and heart rate can vary between users
  • Screen can be prone to smudges and fingerprints

Verdict

The Vivo Watch 2 is a circular smartwatch featuring a 1.43-inch AMOLED display (466x466 resolution, 326 PPI) encased in a 316L stainless steel frame with 5ATM water resistance. Key characteristics include standalone LTE connectivity via eSIM, 2GB of internal storage for local music playback, and comprehensive health sensors for monitoring heart rate, SpO2, sleep, and air pressure. Its main advantages are a long battery life of up to 14 days in Bluetooth mode (7 days with eSIM), built-in GPS with multi-satellite support, and broad compatibility with both Android and iOS devices. However, some limitations include restricted third-party app integration, limited watch face customization options, and potential screen smudging due to the lack of an fingerprint-resistant coating.
