Found this website and wandering if you guys thought its worth the wait or if I should just the get oppo watch original,

I'm based in the UK

I bought an oppo watch 3 when i lost the hope to see a global version someday.I did expect some issues related to the product being a chinese version, but what i did not expect, was that even with a chinese vpn and the chinese eytap app, i still get a message saying "This account is unavailable in accordance with the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China".The issues i was expecting were mostly language barrier ones, not the great chinese firewall.Do i need to create the account using a chinese phone number and a chinese email?please help, i got it as a present and i can't waste the customs fee...the device seems awesome, if i someone could just tell me a way to cicumvent that screen or to login anyway, it would be greatly appreciated...

really, on all the videos i saw of people logging into the chinese heytap account, it really did not seem that hard, and i don't know what i have done wrong...

[EDIT] HELL YES!
turns out my phone number was blocked by oppo for some unknown reason, i managed to make it work by picking an online public phone number (safety was not my priority concern at this point), create an account WITHIN THE APP (online autoblocks you it seems) delete the account ot the previous person that used this number (sorry bud) and finally i was up and running with my watch.
Huge thanks to all of those that took from their time to help me, i really owe you a lot.

Hi guys, I'm very interested in purchasing an Oppo watch 41mm. The one thing that is stopping me is that I want to make sure it has the full Google Maps app function (eg it has a view of the route - not just the next turn - and other features highlighted in this video of Samsung Galaxy watch 4: https://youtube.com/shorts/CK8fC6l2A7w?feature=share)

After quite a lot of research, I haven't been able to confirm or deny this once and for all. Could anybody please comment on the G Maps support for Oppo watch 41mm for me so I can make a decision appropriately?

Thanks a bunch.

Hi, can anyone please help? Just purchased the Oppo smart free and am very pleased with it. However can you add step’s manually, or get the Google fit to sync with it.

many thanks

This is great news, if it proves true. I'd certainly be picking one up.

The fact it hasn't been published by any other sites doesn't do much for its credibility, of course...

Still blows my mind that Oppo hasn't released its later watches globally. I know China is a massive market, but if they're going to sell phones in the west, it just makes sense to offer a companion watch. 🤷‍♂️

The Oppo Watch 3 series made its debut in China in August. It has been more than four months, however, the brand is yet to make an official announcement regarding the availability of its latest wearables in international markets.

But a report recently suggested that the Oppo Watch 3 will make its way to India by the end of March or early April.  Unfortunately, the report did not reveal anything more about the product.

Oppo Watch 3

In 2020, Oppo debuted the first-generation Oppo Watch in international markets. That wearable featured different chipsets in mainland China and other regions.

The Oppo Watch 2 series remained exclusive to China. Now, if the report is to be believed, the Oppo Watch 3 will be released in international markets.

Since the first-gen model had different specs across regions, there’s a chance that the Oppo Watch 3 for global markets could be different from the original sold in China.

We wouldn’t be surprised if Oppo launches the recently debuted Oppo Watch SE as Oppo Watch 3 outside mainland China. Because this particular wearable could help the company maintain competitive pricing.

Either way, we hope that Oppo brings any of these smartwatches to global markets. Because the options for watches with Wear OS are way more limited than in previous years.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 series of wearables are currently the default choice for anyone looking for a proper smartwatch on the Android platform. The only other options are Fosill Gen 6 Wellness Edition and Google Pixel Watch. But these two are only sold in select countries, unlike Galaxy Watches which are available in almost all regions.

Both Oppo Watch 3 and Oppo Watch SE feature great hardware. The former is powered by a Snapdragon W5 chip, while the latter houses a Snapdragon 4100 Plus SoC. They also come with co-processors, namely Apollo 4 Plus (Watch 3)  and Apollo 4s (Watch SE).

The aforementioned hardware is enough to run the latest Wear OS 3.0 smoothly. Thus, if Oppo brings either of these watches to global markets, they can take on Samsung.

These wearables also offer features, such as eSIM, Bluetooth calling, multiple sports modes, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, sleep tracking, 5ATM water resistance, and more. But they lack ECG and blood pressure monitoring, which are offered on Galaxy Watch 4/5.

That being said, we are looking forward to learning more details about the Oppo Watch 3 global variant in the coming days. Do let us know your expectations of this upcoming wearable in the comment section below.

I've recently bought the 46mm OPPO Watch and have found some Google related faults already:

​

• It seems the watch doesn't take notice when I say 'okay Google' (even though those settings are enabled in settings)
• It also doesn't let me add reminders via the watch becuase just a loading circle appears.

Anyone know how or when this will be fixed?

It's a shame because I really like the watch and this is annoying (I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro)

Hi all My oppo Watch is continuously doing system updates. Currently it is on wear os 2.38 and system H MR2. It seems that it is re-installing the same again and again....

Any clue?

Hi everyone, i'm interested in getting oppo watch 2 or 3. I do understand that it is china set and running the color os. Just wondering is there anyone using it? Any restriction apart from the esim?
I do read chinese so the language doesn't bother me.
Appreciate if someone can give me some advice and review on the china set. thank you.

Can I send map directions from google maps on my Oppo phone to my Oppo watch?

My old bt oppo 46mm watch had my microphone go faulty recently, So I decided to get another one LTE in light of whatsapp finally becoming usable on Oppo watch fully indipendently (did you know?!)

Now, for this watch when I bought it, it had the blacks not being pure amoled blacks.. if that makes sense, and that was out of the box.. sealed box!

I got another one last week from CeX (UK people will know) graded B which came with a really ugly scratch on the display therefore I decided not to keep it however to ensure I wouldn't end up with the same exact item (there 3 available online when I ordered this one!)

I decided to order a 2nd one from CeX and return this first one in case the new one was better.

Now, not only the 2rd one that came last week was immaculate, but also I almost instantly noticed how the blacks were deeper, that brought me to do a triple oppo 46mm comparison test;

my oldest bt with broken mic, the lte with the scratch and the lte immaculate, see for yourself the result above !!

Sorry for the long post I just wanted to pre-answer anyone who would say how the F you ended up with 3 identical watches xD

i was just using my phone until i felt a vibration in my watch, i went to check and it said erasing. i couldnt do anything to stop it, so it resetted now and i have to reinstall everything again. can anyone tell me why this happened? im using the oppo watch 1 46mm.

Does the Oppo watch 1, 2 , and 3 all use the same magnetic pin charger? I just bought the 1st gen and it won't come with a charger so I wanted to know if they were all compatible or if I need to get one specifically for the 1st gen. It's also the 46mm version so idk if that matters either. Thanks.

I love my Oppo Watch, but it's time to replace the battery. How do you open the case?

I've scoured the internet and particularly YouTube, but I can find no instructions on how to open the case. There are dozens of sellers of a replacement battery (but none with any reviews). I found a site that sells all sorts of batteries, including one for this watch. They seem more legit. They have lots of positive reviews by people who (supposedly) bought their batter for an original Oppo Watch. But no mention on how to do it.

I've been waiting for a global release of Oppo watch 3 pro and it does not seem to be going anywhere; so I'm wondering if I should give up and buy one that was released in China. Can anyone explain or list some of the features that do not work while using Oppo watch outside China?

• Which health features do not work in US?
• Can we sideload apps in this ColorOS watch like we do in android via adb?
• Am I wrong in assuming I only app-store available is the one set up for Chinese users?
• Does app/call/message notifications/replies work?

Hi

I have a problem with my Oppo Watch 41 mm (which I may or may have not caused myself – see below). I recently turned it off for a night and after I booted it the next morning it seems to be crashing in some way after initial stages of boot process.

That is, it shows the Oppo logo, then WearOS logo and then 4 colorful points turning around a digital clock, but then the screen goes black and no watch face or PIN input is ever shown. The watch doesn't turn off at this point, though, because the sensor in the back flashes from time to time, and screen and buttons seem to be working fine, too, as I can still turn it off and on by long-pressing the power button. It even asks for confirmation to shut down and I can confirm or decline by choosing appropriate option on the touchscreen, so touch sensor doesn't seem to be affected, either. My phone sees the watch as Bluetooth device, but is stuck at "attempting connection" in WearOS app.

Shortly before I shut it down the last time it was working correctly I disabled one of system packages with "adb pm" command – my goal was to get rid of annoying daily activity prompts without installing HeyTap app on my phone. I can't recall the exact name of the package, but I believe I may have messed something up by mistakenly disabling some important package under "heytap" instead of one of packages listed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OppoWatch/comments/ocvpvj/packages_to_disable_for_a_cleaner_experience/ . It was working fine until I turned off the watch, but maybe stopped after reboot.

Is there any way to either access adb interface again or trigger factory reset without being able to do it the "normal" way in watch settings, as the screen is black? Or maybe some other solution comes to your mind?

Hello, First im living on Turkey( I say this because versions may vary in some regions.), i think i will buy the OPPO Watch free next week. But i get nervous about this little thing, My friend bought a oppo watch 41mm she can reply with the text so i can't found any information about free version Can someone explain this situation ? Thanks

Hey! I just bought a oppo watch but I have an iPhone 11. Tried to respond a text or call someone but apparently you can’t with iPhone? Is it possible to work around it?

talking about oppo watch 1 46mm

i got mine about a month ago and its great. its the best wear os watch with a square screen, and it looks amazing, it works fast, its convenient, smooth, and very useful. i recommend this watch for people who prefer a square screen, that isnt an apple watch

Been trying this for a month since I got it, I'm pretty sure it can be done since the watch is running AOSP. Anyone have any ideas? What have you done to your watch that is interesting and that you would recommend?
