The FCC listing doesn’t define the SoC powering the smartwatch, but it does confirm that it will feature 1GB of RAM, 8GB of onboard storage, and eSIM support. The listing also reveals that the OPPO Watch will include a 430mAh battery. It’s worth noting that the Chinese version of the smartwatch is rated for approximately 40 hours of regular use on a single charge and 21 days in power-saving mode. However, since Wear OS is known to be a power-hungry OS, the battery life for the international version won’t be as impressive. The OPPO Watch was launched in China with a price tag of 1,499 yuan (~$215), but the international variant to be a bit pricier considering the fact that it runs Wear OS instead of OPPO’s software.
