OPPO has recently had a successful launch of its Reno 13 series in China, and plans for a global rollout are ongoing. Now, it appears that the brand is about to launch another intriguing product—a new OPPO smartwatch. A new listing on the MIIT certification portal in China has disclosed intriguing facts, generating discussion about a possible link to the OnePlus Watch 3.
New OPPO Smartwatch
According to the MIIT listing, the new OPPO smartwatch is model OWW251. What has piqued everyone’s interest is its resemblance to the model number of the OnePlus Watch 3, which was just certified by the FCC under the code OPWWE251.
Could this imply that the OPPO OWW251 is a rebranded version of the OnePlus Watch 3 designed for the Chinese market? It’s a big likelihood, given that OPPO and OnePlus frequently share the latest technologies for their devices.
Features & Specifications
The MIIT listing provides some insight into the smartwatch’s features. It mentions LTE connectivity, which supports numerous standards including TD-LTE, LTE FDD, and WCDMA. An eSIM with an eUICC chip will most likely be present, allowing for autonomous network functionality.
The operating system indicated is Android, which suggests strong software support. If previous patterns are any indication, the future OPPO wristwatch may follow the same path as the OPPO Watch X, which shared its design and hardware with the OnePlus Watch 2.
OnePlus Watch 3
The OnePlus Watch 3, as announced via FCC certification, features some outstanding specifications:
- Battery: A powerful 631mAh rated battery (648mAh average capacity).
- Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth (BR+EDR+BLE), GNSS, and NFC
- Design: Dimensions of 46.6 x 47.6 x 11.75mm indicate a superior build.
- Chipset: The Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear W5 Gen 2 chipset is expected to power the device.
According to rumors, the OnePlus Watch 3 could be released globally in January 2025, alongside the OnePlus 13. If the OPPO smartwatch is actually a rebranded version, we can expect similar characteristics in both devices.
