OPPO has launched its latest smartwatch, the OPPO Watch S, featuring an ultra-slim stainless steel design that combines comfort and style for everyday wear.
Backed by advanced tracking for popular sports including running, badminton, tennis and swimming, and a 3000 nits ultra-bright display, OPPO Watch S is a powerful daily fitness companion.
It also includes features like ECG-based health analysis, 60 second Wellness Overview, advanced sleep tracking and mind and body wellness evaluation that are designed to help wearers stay on top of their health around the clock.
OPPO is known to pack its devices with features typically reserved for higher-priced competitors, and the OPPO Watch S offers many flagship-level capabilities at exceptional value.
The OPPO Watch S has an ultra lightweight and luxe feel, thanks to advanced component-stacking technology that optimises the use of space within the watch so it measures 8.9mm thick and weighs only 35g - comfortable for wearing during exercise and in bed.
There are two strap options - a yellow-green nylon woven strap on the Silver Gleam model that is breathable and antibacterial, and the black fluoroelastomer strap for the Phantom Black model which is ergonomically crafted to follow the curve of the wrist.
OPPO New Zealand Managing Director Morgan Halim says the watch’s versatility should appeal to New Zealanders.
“Many Kiwis live active, balanced lives, from early morning runs and weekend sport to long days at work, and they want technology that can keep up,” says Halim. “The ultra-slim yet high-performing design of the OPPO Watch S fits seamlessly into that lifestyle.”
OPPO Watch S’s watch face can be customised with over 350 designs and a variety of widgets to match any mood or outfit. The crystal-clear 1.46-inch AMOLED ultra-bright screen has up to 3000 nits peak brightness, a 75% screen-to-body ratio and a narrow 2.8mm bezel.
Further expanding its support for popular sports, the OPPO Watch S offers comprehensive data that deepens users’ understanding of their activities - whether used by casual runners or competition-level athletes.
With over 100 workout modes and advanced tracking for 12 popular sports, the watch delivers science-backed insights that guide smarter movement and more effective training.
For running-based sports, OPPO Watch S is equipped with the same dual-band GPS as flagship models, ensuring precise positioning even in challenging environments - and offers multiple monitoring options for different types of running plus professional running metrics (such as ground contact time, vertical oscillation and lactate threshold heart rate) helping users improve their running form in even greater depth.
Heart Rate Broadcast syncs real-time data to external devices like treadmills and cycling computers, allowing users to check data directly from in-built monitors without constantly checking the watch during workouts.
OPPO Watch S is equipped with flagship-grade sensors that deliver class-leading health checks and analysis. These include an 8-channel heart rate sensor, a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor, a wrist temperature sensor and an ECG-enabled electrode heart rate sensor. These work together to capture precise body data.
A key highlight is the 60s Wellness Overview, which consolidates ten key health indicators into a single-tap assessment. In just one minute, users can capture comprehensive metrics, including ECG, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep score and mind-body stress level, to obtain a quick yet detailed overview of their physical and mental well-being. ECG is a feature typically found only on flagship smartwatches, and helps detect sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation as well as abnormal high or low heart rates.
The Sleep Health Analysis function tracks metrics such as sleeping heart rate, respiratory rate and deep sleep, and changes in physical indicators even during short naps as brief as 20 minutes. The watch then generates personal sleep reports that give users an overview of their sleep patterns.
OPPO Watch S connects smoothly to both Android and iOS devices and can be paired with up to two smartphones at once. This industry-leading dual-connection capability allows the watch to receive calls and message notifications from both devices simultaneously, so it’s ideal for dual-phone users. Connectivity with the primary phone also lets users sync contacts, make quick calls and access remote camera control directly from the watch.
Even with its ultra-slim form, OPPO Watch S has impressive battery life and durability. Its 330mAh battery delivers up to 10 days of battery life, while a 10-minute charge powers a full day. The watch is built with a 2.5D curved glass cover featuring an impact-resistant edge and a stainless steel body for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
With IP68 dust and water resistance as well as a 5 ATM water resistance rating, the watch reliably tracks workouts during swimming, snorkeling and other common water activities.
“What’s really exciting about OPPO Watch S is that it brings advanced health technology to more New Zealanders, without the premium price tag,” says Halim. “Tools like the 60-second Wellness Overview and ECG make it easy to check in on your health in moments, and the dual-phone connectivity suits the way many of us juggle work and personal life - working for how Kiwis actually live day to day.”
