Chinese smartphone maker OPPO has said that the OPPO Watch with the ECG feature will be released on September 24. Interestingly, the particular watch has been certified for Class II medical device registration by the China Drug Administration.
OPPO has teasered the ECG version of its watch via its official Weibo channel. OPPO says that this wearable's new sensor has been approved by the relevant Chinese authorities.
Apple watches were the first to get the ECG feature. But both Fitbit and Samsung have both incorporated them into their smartwatches. OPPO will, however, be the first Wear OS manufacturer to include the feature.
OPPO watch is expected to have a form-factor similar to the Apple Watch in looks. It is also likely to boast a 3D curved glass that covers an AMOLED display with bezels.
