On August 10, OPPO Watch 3 Pro was officially released. This is OPPO's third-generation smartwatch, and it is also a flagship of a new generation of smartwatches that combines a fully smart and long battery life experience.
In the past year, OPPO Watch 2 has once become recognized as the "Android watch king" by the first UDDE dual-engine hybrid technology. Now it has a stronger dual-core, LTPO screen, unique shape, and comprehensive health management system. OPPO Watch 3 Pro Will refresh the Android smartwatch ceiling height again.
So can OPPO Watch 3 Pro defend the honor of Android watch king? Is there really no shortcoming in the experience? With many questions, we conducted a more comprehensive evaluation of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro and finally got the answer we wanted.
Most of the smartwatches on the market today are still dominated by circular and square designs, and it is rare to see a product with a unique curved screen design like the OPPO Watch 3 Pro.
OPPO Watch 3 Pro is equipped with a 1.91-inch AMOLED square screen. The screen adopts a radian design with greater curvature and is matched with an equal-width frame, bringing a delicate and immersive visual experience.
It is worth mentioning that the slightly curved design has been extended from the screen to the strap, presenting a highly integrated look and feel. OPPO calls it "growth design on the wrist", which is quite appropriate to me personally, precisely because of this special shape, so that it can fit tightly on the wrist when wearing it, and it has just the right feel whether it is in daily life or sports.
Going back to the screen of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro again, in addition to adopting the "highlight" curved screen design, this screen also supports LTPO OLED screen technology. I believe everyone is familiar with LTPO. After all, it is more common in high-end flagship mobile phones, such as OPPO Find X3 series and OPPO Find X5 series.
Limited by the space of the fuselage and the pursuit of a lightweight wearing experience, the battery capacity of smartwatches is more limited than that of mobile phones. The problem is that in addition to providing basic daily functions, smart watches also need to provide sports scenes and 24-hour health monitoring services, To some extent, smartwatches are more sensitive to the demand for battery life.
In this case, reducing screen power consumption has become a way to extend battery life, and LTPO screens will come into play. Generally speaking, LTPO technology and OLED screens can be said to be a "perfect match". In addition to being more energy-efficient, the power consumption of conventional OLED screens is about 15% lower, and like mobile phones, it can support refresh rates from a minimum of 1Hz to a maximum of 60Hz. Rate changes, providing hardware support for OPPO Watch 3 Pro to achieve AOD always-on display and long battery life.
After the constant display is turned on, the screen will display the dial when wearing it, and the user can customize the time of the screen; of course, the user can also choose to set the AOD style as a system application or some third-party applications, such as during exercise, the AOD The display can be set as a sports interface, so that you can see it when you raise your wrist during exercise, which is very convenient; or when using system applications such as timers, telephones, stopwatches, and recordings, it can also support always-on display, and does not prevent interoperability.
Supporting dial replacement can be said to be one of the most common and basic designs of smartwatches at present, but OPPO Watch 3 Pro has played new tricks on the dial. After the user connects to the mobile APP, he can realize the online replacement of various dials on the mobile APP.

By the way, in OPPO Watch 3 Pro, users can also set their favorite short video as the watch face, find the watch face center in the mobile health APP, click the video watch face, then click Add Video, select the content they like, and simply edit it Upload directly, and at the same time, we can also customize the time style and color of the dial. After everything is done, click Set as the current dial and a unique short video dial is completed.

In addition, the dial not only retains all the details of the video, so that the frames are clear, but at the same time, rotating the crown can also play single frames frame by frame, and set children or pets as the video dial. It can be said that each frame is an emoticon package, with Here comes the full fun.
In addition to the above, OPPO Watch 3 Pro also has a variety of built-in dials such as light-painted dials, Omoji dials, and classic dials. Users can find the one they like no matter whether it is for matching or showing their personality. It can be said that the dial design with different personalities, rich variety, and fun is also a major attraction of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro, and it is worth a try for everyone.
04Based on smart experience and long battery life
Like the previous generation of OPPO Watch 2 series, OPPO Watch 3 Pro also retains the dual-core design and launched the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 wearable platform. Different core processing can be used for different task types. It has both surging performance and lower power consumption. It is a very good flagship chip.
As for another Ambiq Apollo 4 plus, this is a small-core chip jointly customized and developed by OPPO and Ambiq, focusing on low power consumption scenarios. It is based on the UDDE dual-engine hybrid 2.0 technology, the two chips perform their own duties and can help OPPO Watch 3 Pro realize the flexible switching between full-smart and light-smart modes, which can not only ensure the smart experience of the watch but also take into account to battery life.
In the full-smart mode, the various functional experiences of the watch are also full. It not only supports eSIM independent calls, and sports health monitoring but also can download various applications and support multiple cross-device interconnection operations.
Built-in software store
OPPO Watch 3 Pro has a built-in software market, which is currently compatible with more than 80 popular apps, such as Baidu Maps, Sina News, KEEP, Tongcheng Travel, Flush, WeChat, and other commonly used apps are supported, basically covering all aspects of daily life. At the same time, users can also connect to the watch through their mobile phone. When playing games on the mobile phone, the watch will also turn on the e-sports mode, which can not only block various harassing calls and messages but also monitor heart rate in real-time; in addition, there are Cross-screen message notifications, camera assistants, watch car keys and other functions have significantly improved the smart experience of the watch.
The OPPO Watch 3 Pro in full smart mode has more delicate dial dynamic effects, faster application startup speed, smoother interactive operations, etc., basically satisfying all the fantasies of users about a smartwatch. It can be said that it has a smarter operating experience than ordinary smartwatches. In addition to making calls and downloading apps, it can also support independent map navigation, pay with Alipay and play various music apps. It is like a watch worn on the wrist. Small "smartphone".
With more functions, the challenge for battery life is even greater, so in the full smart mode, can OPPO Watch 3 Pro stand the test? Facts have proved that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. From the actual test point of view, the OPPO Watch 3 Pro worn by the author only consumes about 60% of the power within three days, which is very close to the official 5-day battery life, eliminating the trouble of charging the smartwatch every day.
However, the 5-day battery life is not the whole experience of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro long battery life. In the light smart mode, the battery life of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro is as long as 15 days. The power consumption is lower, but the supported functions are not too few. Some commonly used health detection, motion detection, and local service applications are also supported. I have to say that this is the most impressive part of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro.
VOOC Flash Charge 3.0
Finally, OPPO Watch 3 Pro has excellent battery life, but the charging speed is faster, and this is OPPO's housekeeping skill. OPPO Watch 3 Pro is equipped with VOOC flash charging 3.0. According to the author's actual measurement, it can be charged from 0 to 42% in 15 minutes and can be charged to 83% in 30 minutes. Just a few minutes of daily use of sporadic time can satisfy a full charge. daily usage needs. To some extent, OPPO Watch 3 Pro has truly changed the wearing experience of smart wearable devices. I sincerely suggest that Android colleagues can follow up.
Sports health monitoring has always been the "basic skill" of all smartwatches, and in this regard, OPPO Watch 3 Pro not only continues the professional and scientific nature of OPPO smartwatches but also adds many new functions, bringing a smarter wearing experience.
First of all, in terms of health monitoring, OPPO Watch 3 Pro has added a cardiovascular health research option. Through the sensors on the watch, users can conduct cardiovascular health tests by themselves, and the watch will give corresponding evaluation reports and health suggestions after the measurement. At present, this system has been applied to the cooperation between OPPO and the Department of Cardiology of Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital. 230 cases of atrial fibrillation case study project, the accuracy rate of the results is as high as 98.26%. For users, by wearing OPPO Watch 3 Pro, not only can they better understand their own cardiovascular health status, but also detect the risk of vascular sclerosis in time.

Tourists living in plateau areas or traveling to and from plateau areas can also know their blood oxygen changes by wearing OPPO Watch 3 Pro. To improve the accuracy of blood oxygen monitoring, OPPO Watch 3 Pro has upgraded 12-channel all-weather blood oxygen monitoring, with an exclusive self-developed algorithm, through a combination of software and hardware to help users keep abreast of their own blood oxygen indicators, effectively preventing or alleviating altitude sickness happened.
When health has become the most concern topic of modern people, how users can achieve efficient and scientific health management has become a top priority. As a smart device that can be in close contact with users 24 hours a day, smartwatches will undoubtedly assume more important responsibilities. Today, after three generations of development, OPPO Watch has become a key part of OPPO's comprehensive health strategy. It is believed that with the deepening of OPPO's research in the field of basic health, smart watches represented by OPPO Watch 3 Pro will truly become health experts on users' wrists.
Like health monitoring, OPPO Watch 3 Pro also shows a professional and comprehensive side of sports monitoring.

It is worth mentioning that OPPO Watch 3 Pro has also added an exclusive customized tennis mode. This function is based on the basic motion algorithm engine of OPPO Sense Fitness. Shooting speed, active time, heart rate, and calorie consumption are very suitable for tennis fans and tennis players to choose from.

The above is a comprehensive evaluation of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro. Due to time and personal reasons (mainly because the weather is too hot, and I am too lazy to exercise), many sports functions have not had time to try, but even so, OPPO Watch 3 Pro is still for me. Impressed.
