Finding a balance between both sporting and health roles simultaneously is no small feat for any smartwatch. OPPO’s latest offering, the OPPO Watch X2, steps up to the challenge, combining the svelte form factor of a traditional smartwatch with the high-energy functionality of a sports watch. It also underlines OPPO’s expertise in health monitoring developed over a decade of research.
The OPPO Watch X2 also has a titanium alloy bezel, providing an enhanced overall look and feel with a high-end, luxurious design. It also has improved health monitoring capabilities, such as ECG function, which can complete a test in as short as 30 seconds and is able to identify conditions like sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and premature beats.
Most importantly, the watch includes a hypertension risk test, co-developed with Omron and Fuwai Hospital, and a vascular health study. These leverage high-level sensors and algorithms to provide users with comprehensive health details.
Besides, the upgraded 60-second physical exam function covers 14 health metrics under three scenarios, surpassing the previous models. With dual-frequency GPS and optimized algorithms, the OPPO Watch X2 also takes the lead in sports heart rate monitoring, comparable to professional devices.
Design
OPPO Watch X2’s packaging comes in a light gray color with a soft texture, giving a minimalist yet refined look.
On the front, the watch has a 1.5-inch AMOLED screen which is 466×466 pixel with 310 PPI resolution. Smooth and efficient performance is guaranteed by an LTPO substrate. A sapphire crystal mirror, as also used in high-end watches, gives transparency with a dazzling sheen. Along with an aerospace titanium alloy bezel, the watch gets an elegant, enduring look. By this combination not only minimizing the black border but also becoming elegant overall as a design.
Sapphire, which is only slightly softer than diamond, provides better scratch and wear resistance. The titanium bezel also protects the sapphire glass, making the watch even more durable.
The rotating crown, which is pyramidal in shape with a conical design, is functional and tactile and offers a satisfying user experience. Below the crown, the sports button houses an ECG sensor for quick health monitoring. The back of the watch employs a glass material that maximizes light transmission to support the accuracy of heart rate and blood oxygen saturation readings.
With 8-channel heart rate and 16-channel blood oxygen sensors, OPPO Watch X2 offers precise health data. It also features four magnetic metal charging contacts for easy charging.
With 16 military certifications, IP68 and 5ATM ratings, OPPO Watch X2 is suitable for harsh environments, making it a perfect companion for outdoor and sports lovers.
Health monitoring and sports
The OPPO Watch X2 excels in health monitoring with its best-in-class hardware and innovative features. Equipped with a premium 8-channel heart rate sensor and 16-channel blood oxygen sensor, it lays a solid foundation for accurate and real-time health monitoring. The new glass material applied on the bottom shell improves light transmission, which ensures stable and efficient signal transmission to achieve better heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring.
The watch has 24-hour heart rate tracking with constant updates. The watch informs users of heart rhythm abnormalities, i.e., they are too high or too low, and asks them to act accordingly. Irregular heart rhythm monitoring is a feature that informs users of abnormality but has to be triggered manually, potentially shortening the battery life.
With OPPO’s proprietary algorithm, speed and accuracy in blood oxygen detection are significantly improved, and hence a reliable health management partner. Physical and mental condition monitoring also monitors the amount of stress, generating trend charts every half an hour, so users can intuitively see changes over a day.
The OPPO Watch X2 also has enhanced ECG features, with a 30-second reading that can detect sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and premature beats. It is a helpful and quick feature that allows individuals to keep their heart health in check and detect any problems in advance.
Other features
The 60-second physical exam has been elevated to version 2.0, giving detailed health data, including resting heart rate, blood pressure, sleep norms, and more. Sleep tracking has also been improved, with snoring detection, baseline heart rate, and wrist temperature tracking added to better understand sleep quality.
Two significant study studies integrated within the watch include the Hypertension Risk Assessment and Vascular Health Study. Leveraging advanced sensors and proprietary algorithms, the watch supports the assessment of blood pressure risks and provides a comprehensive report on vascular health, including pulse wave velocity and heart rate.
Where sports are concerned, the OPPO Watch X2 offers professional-level tracking with dual-frequency GPS and accurate heart rate monitoring in any conditions. After a workout, the watch delivers a detailed report of fat burned, performance, and health to enable users to adjust their fitness goals.
Wrap up
OPPO Watch X2 introduces a groundbreaking solution to the widespread challenge of the smartwatch market: the balance between holistic health tracking and all-around sports capability.
Previously, round smartwatches had to compromise between stylish appearances and professional-grade sports monitoring. OPPO Watch X2, however, surmounts this market barrier, balancing beauty and high-performance capability.
On the health tracking front, the watch features ECG technology that can quickly check for all major heart conditions like sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and premature beats and give individuals a simple way to monitor their heart health.
The other feature of note is its hypertension risk test. With advanced sensors and smart algorithms, the watch monitors blood pressure and alerts people to potential risks, allowing them to catch issues early and start preventive measures.
The OPPO Watch X2 also excels in vascular health tests, recording significant markers like vascular age, pulse wave velocity, and heart rate through ECG and photoplethysmography technology, giving a holistic analysis of vascular health.
Additionally, the upgraded 60-second physical checkup scans for 14 markers of health, one of the most comprehensive health checks available in a smartwatch.
With dual-frequency GPS and accurate sports tracking, OPPO Watch X2 sets a new standard for smartwatches by providing consumers with the ultimate health and sports monitoring capabilities.
