iQOO Watch, the first smartwatch of this brand, has just gone on sale in China... although it is not completely new. Like many iQOO devices, it has a Vivo lookalike - in this case the Vivo Watch 3. So this is another clone - but quite an interesting one!
iQOO Watch runs on the BlueOS interface developed by Vivo, but an Android smartphone would not be ashamed of its capabilities. In addition to the 100 sports modes and pulse oximeter typical for a smartwatch, iQOO Watch supports NFC payments, has its own application store, and thanks to the built-in microphone and loudspeaker, you can make phone calls through it - either using a smartphone via Bluetooth or directly from the watch in the more expensive version with eSIM .
The iQOO Watch display is a 1.43-inch OLED with a resolution of 466x466 px, and its battery has a capacity of 505 mAh. According to the manufacturer, it lasts for 8 days when using Bluetooth or 3 days with eSIM, and the energy saving mode can additionally extend this time to 16 or 7 days, respectively. The smartwatch is available in manufacturer's store in three variants with a rubber or leather strap, with eSIM connectivity or Bluetooth itself, and an alternative nylon strap can be purchased additionally. Their prices are as follows:
- Rubber strap, Bluetooth - 1,099 yuan ($150, €140)
- Rubber strap, eSIM - 1,199 yuan ($165, €155)
- Leather strap, eSIM - 1299 yuan ($180, €170)
