Oppo introduced the Oppo Band back in June 2020, and nine months later, the wearable finally will escape the domestic scene. Its first overseas market will be India, with a launch scheduled for Monday, March 8 and the name is slightly changed - it will now be called Oppo Band Style. The wearable comes in two variants - one with a simple TPU wrist band and a more fashionable option with a metal ring.
The Oppo Band Style has 12 exercise modes,
including one for long-distance runners - a specific group of athletes that
rarely gets recognition in the world of affordable wearables. There is also a
continuous heart rate monitor and SpO2 tracking - Oppo claims the Band can make
a measurement every second for eight hours straight.
The band's typical battery life is 14
days, with 1.5 hours charging time after the two-week period. The wearable in
China has NFC, but Oppo India said nothing about this type of connectivity in a
press release about the launch date. Another unknown is the price - in China,
it costs the equivalent of US$ 30/€ 27.
