OPPO Watch 3 is the first smartwatch with Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon Wear platform - Android Central

The first-gen OPPO Watch was a standout offering, and it was one of the best budget Wear OS smartwatches available. .

For 2022, OPPO is introducing the Watch 3 series.

It has a 400mAh battery and is touted to last up to four days with daily use — if the real-world numbers are anywhere close to that figure, it will be among the best Android smartwatches by default.

The reason for this is likely down to the fact that both models are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 5100 platform.

OPPO didn't go into much detail over the chipset, and the naming convention doesn't tie up with Qualcomm's official Wear W5 Gen 1 designation for its latest wearable platform, so this could just be OPPO using the older naming.

Both smartwatches get fast charging — this is OPPO after all — with a 10-minute charge delivering usage of up to 24 hours, and a full charge taking 60 minutes. !

There's no telling if the smartwatches will run Wear OS when they launch globally, or if they'll even make their way outside China.
