The Oppo Watch 4 Pro has a design similar to the 3 Pro but has upgrades inside and out. Starting with the outside, the watch body is now made out of stainless steel instead of aluminum, which should make it a bit more durable and it is a bit heavier (52.3g vs. 37.5g). The steel has been given a brushed finish to contrast with the knurling of the crown. Also, the bottom is made out of ceramic, which is both durable and will avoid any skin issues.
The display is still curved in a gentle
arc. It’s a 1.91” LTPO AMOLED panel as before with the same 378 x 396px
(326ppi). There are two versions of the Watch 4 Pro – Polar Night Black, which
has a black body and a fluoro-rubber band, and Dawn Brown, which has a
champagne color on the body and a brown leather strap.
The watch is equipped with an advanced
sensor suite that can give you a 60-second exam by tracking 7 key vital signs.
The major components included in the exam are ECG, heart rate, blood vessel
age, sleep and stress. It can measure things like blood vessel elasticity, it
can detect arterial fibrillation, snoring and more. Interestingly, this model
includes blood sugar monitoring in real time and it will sound the alarm if the
values change abnormally. The watch also has a skin temperature sensor
(accurate to within 0.1°C).
Like its predecessor, this watch is
powered by the Snapdragon W5+ chipset and there is a BES 2700 chip for
low-power operation. This year Oppo doubled the RAM to 2GB, the storage remains
at 32GB. The watch runs on a 570mAh battery (a bit larger than last year) and
will last up to 5 days in full smartwatch mode, up to 2.5 days with heavy
usage. A Light mode can go up to a couple of weeks and fast charging is
available, so 10 minutes is enough to last you the whole day (a full charge
takes just over an hour).
This watch has an eSIM so it has 4G
connectivity on the go. There is NFC too, though for now its functions are
China-specific. Also available are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. For exercise
tracking, the major positioning satellites are supported and the watch body is
rated for 5 ATM water resistance so you can take it in the pool. The Oppo Watch
5 Pro is available for pre-order in China starting today you can find it on the
official Oppo store. Shipments and open sales will commence on September 8.
The Polar Night Black version costs CNY
2,300 (US$ 315/€ 290/₹ 26,000), but there is an early bird deal and you can get it
for CNY 100 less. The Dawn Brawn model comes with two straps so it is a bit
more expensive at CNY 2,500 (US$ 345/€ 320/₹ 28,750). Again, there is a CNY 100
discount available if you pre-order.
