Many have borrowed heavily from Apple&rsquo;s wearable, but few, if any, have done so as brazenly as Oppo. Sure Fitbit received some guff for the squircle hardware design of its Versa line, but it&rsquo;s not useful to get too hung up on those vague similarities &mdash; there are, notably, relatively few geometrical options for hardware makers looking to move outside the traditional circle watch face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But based on the press material, the Oppo Watch is &mdash; to put it gently &mdash; a dead ringer for the best-selling smartwatch. There are some key differences, of course. The first and biggest is the fact that the device runs Wear OS, Google&rsquo;s oft-neglected wearable operating system. Also of note is the &ldquo;dual curved screen,&rdquo; which allows the watch face to monopolize more space on the device, with a 73% screen-to-body ratio on the 45mm version and 65% on the 41mm. Those displays are 1.91 and 1.6 inches, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"speakable-summary\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2025371\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OPPO-Watch-46mm-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"655\" height=\"437\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"piano-inline-promo\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There&rsquo;s a Wi-Fi and LTE version of the larger model, and both feature GPS+GLONASS tracking, along with heart-rate monitoring and sleep tracking. The battery is 430mAh on the big one and 300mAh on the smaller. The former should get around 36 hours of life on a charge, according to the company, charging back up to full capacity in about 75 minutes. There&rsquo;s also a battery-saver mode that should keep it alive for a few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The watches are available starting today in select markets. If you&rsquo;re in the market for a Wear OS watch, you have a lot of choices, all of which are significantly less likely to be mistaken for an Apple Watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container__access-control\">\n<div class=\"article__comments\">\n<div class=\"comments__spot-im--locked\">\n<div id=\"comments__spot-im__container\" class=\"comments__spot-im__container\" data-post-id=\"2025365\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\">\n<div data-spotim-default-areas=\"\">\n<div data-spot-im-module-default-area=\"conversation\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\" data-post-id=\"2025365\" data-module-element-id=\"e4ad8523708b280217309db67c96bd46\">\n<div data-spot-im-shadow-host=\"conversation conversation-survey @spotim\/ui-components @spotim\/ads @spotim\/user-image feed @spotim\/entities\">\n<div id=\"spotim-specific\">\n<div data-spot-im-direction=\"ltr\">\n<div id=\"spotim-specific-conversation\" class=\"spcv_mainContainer\" data-spotim-app=\"conversation\">\n<div class=\"spcv_conversation-view spot-im-conversation-module\" data-spmark=\"conversation conversation-id:sp_It0mQWOO_2025365\" data-spot-im-class=\"conversation-root\" data-tooltips-boundaries=\"true\" data-is-logged-in=\"false\">\n<div class=\"spcv_conversation-header\" data-spot-im-class=\"conversation-header\">\n<div class=\"spcv_info\">\n<div class=\"spcv_left-area\">\n<div class=\"spcv_titleFacesWrapper\">\n<div class=\"spcv_headers spcv_singleTab\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/07\/31\/its-not-an-apple-watch-its-an-oppo-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/07\/31\/its-not-an-apple-watch-its-an-oppo-watch\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Brian Heater<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Brian Heater<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4001-logo.png\" alt=\"\">Behold, the Opple Watch.
