Aluminum alloy 6000-series was used to make the body of the watch, while plastic and ceramic was used on the rear surface of the 46 mm model. Only plastic was used on the 41 mm model. Fluoro rubber strap was included on both versions, which means the stainless steel model is exclusive to China.

The OPPO Watch’s main selling point is the dual boot system. It can either run on the ultra low power Ambiq Micro Apollo 3 or Wear OS ultra low power. The Wear OS comes with all the impressive features of a smartwatch, like Google Play, support for OK Google and GPay, while the other is just for the essentials of any basic smart band, like time, alarms and notifications.

The endurance of the two modes has huge differences. The OPPO Watch Smart Mode can last about 24 hours and 36 hours on the 41 mm and 46 mm respectively, while on Power Saver Mode, it can last for 14 days and 21 days, respectively.
