The iQOO Watch GT features a 1.85” OLED display with 390 x 450px resolution. It can reach 600 nits of peak brightness and can automatically select between 256 brightness levels based on ambient conditions.
The display has an Always On mode, which
pairs with the AI Smart Window feature – this shows important information about
upcoming flights, movie showtimes, medication and more. AI also helps keep your
notes organized – you can dictate a note to the watch, which will be
transcribed and synced with your phone. This then can be polished or summarized
with AI.
And yes, this has both a microphone and a
speaker, so you can use it for calls. With the optional eSIM version, you can
also make calls even if you left your phone at home. The watch also has a
built-in GPS receiver and Baidu Maps for navigation. A circularly polarized
antenna claims to triple the GPS signal reception. NFC enables the watch to act
as your bus ticket or car keys. This isn’t a Wear OS device, instead it uses
Blue OS, which was developed by vivo. The platform has its own app store, so
you can download additional apps and even some games.
The wrist straps are replaceable and you
can further customize the look of the iQOO Watch GT with the AI watch face
generator – just give it a prompt and it will do the rest. Alternatively, you
can transform photos into different art styles. The GT promises up to 21 days
of battery life (with the eSIM disabled), but lasting 10 days would be more
common. If used with eSIM enabled, the watch should last between 3 and 9 days.
The iQOO Watch GT is available now, its
MSRP is CNY 500 (US$ 69/€ 64/₹ 5,750) for the Bluetooth version (there is a small
CNY 20 discount right now). The version with eSIM is CNY 800
(US$ 110/€ 100/₹ 9,200). Note that this is technically a pre-order, but it’s a short
one – the first units will ship out on the 16th.
