Here?s our first look at the upcoming Oppo Watch 3 series



Qualcomm recently unveiled the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chips for next-gen wearables. Following the announcement, the company confirmed that the new chips would hit the market with upcoming smartwatches from Oppo and Mobvoi. While Mobvoi did not reveal the name of its Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1-powered smartwatch, Oppo said that the non-Plus variant would debut with the Oppo Watch 3 series in August.

Although Oppo is yet to reveal more details about the upcoming lineup, renowned leaker Evan Blass has shared renders and live images of the smartwatches ahead of the launch. The renders give us our first look at the Oppo Watch 3 series, showcasing the updated design in two new colorways.

As you can see in the attached images, the Oppo Watch 3 series features a rectangular display like its predecessor. However, the chassis and display appear to have a slight curve. In addition, the smartwatch now has a crown on the right edge alongside a button, unlike the older models that only featured buttons.

The watch face showcased in these images also reveals some details about the Oppo Watch 3 series, suggesting that it might offer temperature monitoring along with the usual array of fitness tracking features. The leaked renders showcase the Oppo Watch 3 series in two colorways — black and silver. But previous leaks suggest that Oppo will offer the smartwatch in a few more color options.
