If you’ve ever lusted after the Apple Watch but are an Android fan through and through, you’ll likely be thrilled by Oppo’s entry into the smartwatch market. The company unveiled its digital timepiece, the Oppo Watch — along with a new flagship phone, the Oppo Find X2 Pro, during a press conference in China, following which it drew immediate comparisons to Apple’s iconic square-faced wrist accessory. It’s not an exact duplicate — it doesn’t feature Apple’s digital crown — but the gently curved screen surrounded by metal and a seamless band attachment does feel remarkably familiar.
The 4.5mm thick body of the watch is crafted from a combination of aluminum and 3D curved crystal glass, with a ceramic back. A 1.91-inch AMOLED screen reportedly incorporates a “flexible hyperboloid display” and offers a density of 326 pixels per inch. Straps are made either from fluoro rubber or Italian calfskin and can be swapped out for other designs to suit a particular outfit or occasion.
