Vivo Watch : Rumoured specifications

Going by the report, the Vivo Watch may come in a couple of variants, probably based on the display size. The larger variant may have a 46mm AMOLED coloured round dial while the smaller one could house a 42mm circular display. Both the variants may have a slightly different design of strap as well.

It is expected that the watch will come equipped with NFC for payments and key health features like continuous heart rate monitor, a blood oxygen monitor and calorie detection. It is expected to be water-resistant up to 5ATM, independent music playback, and support for Jovi voice.

Though the leaks hint that the watch may not run on WearOS, which could be a tad disappointing for most of us in India. However, since this is a China-focused launch, it may come with a proprietary operating system, however, there is a probability that the international version may be powered by WearOS.

In terms of pricing, the Vivo Watch is expected to be priced around CNY 1000 and may be available in four different colours - Mocha, Mixia, Shadow, and Fengshang and may offer a battery life of up to 18 days on a single charge.

While the company has not announced official launch date in China nor has it revealed its plans to make the watch outside the Chinese mainland. However, with the number of innovations that the company has introduced to smartphones in the recent past, we’re extremely hopeful that the company does launch the watch globally.
