Vivo will be launching a successor to its first smartwatch, the Vivo Watch, soon. The new watch is expected to launch as the Vivo Watch2 and ahead of its arrival, more details have surfaced alongside a photo from its TENAA certification. The Vivo Watch2 will have a round dial like its predecessor. There are markings on the bezel and the case is black with matching straps. We expect the smartwatch will be available in other color options when it is launched.
According to the Chinese leaker, Digital
Chat Station, the display is OLED and the watch has a higher screen-to-body
ratio than last year’s model. He also mentions that the watch has a 515mAh
battery capacity which is an increase from the 478mAh battery inside the 46mm
Vivo Watch. The bigger battery is necessary since the Vivo Watch2 will have an
eSIM for making calls and sending messages.
There is a possibility we may only get a
single size this time as a 42mm version with eSIM support may have poor battery
life. The 42mm model released last year has a 226mAh battery capacity and a
9-day battery life as against the 18-day battery life of its bigger sibling. The
leaker goes on to reveal the watch will support three networks with eUICC
support. He also mentions that the Vivo Watch2 will support more apps and still
have a long battery life as one of its selling points.
There is no info on when the smartwatch
will be announced. Last year’s model was launched in September. Regardless, a
launch date should not be far off since it has already been certified by TENAA.
