OPPO announced their latest OPPO Watch Free — a brand-new watch with all-scenario sleep monitoring.

The watch aims to be the entry-level smartwatch of choice for all, as it comes with Osleep for better sleep monitoring, as well as professional sport modes and other health functions.

Sleep well with OSleep

Osleep comes with professional, comprehensive, and personalized sleep monitoring and analysis throughout the sleep cycle.

This includes an exclusive snoring risk assessment monitored by sensors and advanced algorithms to detect sleep problems and come up with accurate suggestions.

OPPO’s latest smart watch uses a continuous second-level SpO2 monitoring through an optical SpO2 sensor, as well as an optical heart rate sensor to record snores, while other indicators like blood oxygen level is also tallied.

The OPPO Watch Free also analyzes users’ sleep latency, duration, and phases using its advanced features like deep and light sleep analysis and rapid eye movement (REM) monitoring to aid in better sleep.

OPPO and Tsinghua University partnered in establishing the Joint Research Center for Future Terminal Technology, conducting a number of joint research projects in the field of sleep to further explore sleep tracking technology.

Over 100 sport modes, pro health monitoring

When it comes to staying fit, the OPPO Watch Free has a built-in 6-axis motion sensor along with its optical heart rate sensor that supports over 100 sport modes.

The sensors automatically identify and record the sport modes using algorithms, making it easier for users to exercise and stay fit.

All activities may be checked through Daily Activity, which also features built-in professional running courses to help in one’s fitness goals.

Additionally, the OPPO Watch Free supports 24-hour heart rate monitoring, which records users’ heart rate around the clock.

A warning vibrate will automatically prompt users when heart rate becomes too high or if there are irregular heartbeats.

Even just simple stand-up reminders and 5-minute stand-up relaxation videos come with the product, which are best suited for office workers to be able to sneak in being fit and relaxed.

Multiple convenience features

OPPO Watch Free can ideally be used as an extension of users’ phones, as it has a range of convenience features such as Message Notifications, Incoming Call Notifications, Call Rejection, Find My Phone, and Music Playback Control.

OPPO Watch Free also has a long battery life of up to 14 days. A quick 5-minute charge is already good for a day’s worth of usage.

Lightweight, stylish design

The likewise fashionable OPPO Watch Free weighs only 33 grams and comes with a 1.64-inch AMOLED HD display.

The watch also features a smooth leather-like strap which offers a breathable fit that stays comfortable and offers over 40 stylish watch faces and AI Outfit watch Face 2.0.

This allows users to create personalised watch faces that match the style of their outfit on any given day.

The OPPO Watch Free will be available in two colors — Vanilla and Black — from January 15, 2022 at a retail price of SG$ 129 at OPPO Concept Stores, OPPO’s Shopee and Lazada flagship stores, and authorized sellers.

From January 15 until March 4, 2022, the OPPO Watch Free can also be purchased at a discounted price of SG$ 99 alongside the OPPO Reno7 Pro, only at OPPO Concept Stores, OPPO’s Shopee and Lazada Flagship Stores.
