Vivo sub-brand iQOO has launched a new wearable in China: the Watch GT 2. Revealed a couple of weeks ago, customers can choose between eSIM and Bluetooth versions of the smartwatch. Features of this relatively affordable model include an AMOLED display, a GPS module and NFC for contactless payments.

The iQOO Watch GT 2 is now available in China. This smartwatch from the vivo sub-brand was unveiled earlier in October 2025, and has been released alongside the iQOO 15 smartphone. The wearable has a similar appearance to the recently launched vivo Watch GT 2, both with a square design not unlike that of the Apple Watch (SE 2nd Gen curr. $189 at Amazon). 

IQOO's Watch GT 2 has a 2.07-inch AMOLED display, which the company describes as ultra-bright; it is said to deliver 2,400 nits peak brightness. The screen is surrounded by a slim aluminum alloy body, and the watch's strap is interchangeable. This smartwatch runs on BlueOS, bringing over 100 exercise modes with dedicated running posture analysis and various coaching tools. It also offers 24/7 health monitoring of metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen level and sleep quality. 

The Watch GT 2 comes with Esports Mode 2.0, with heart rate data shown in a floating window on your phone as you game. Another feature is the ability to use NFC on a compatible phone to 'tap' to change the watch face to the selected photo. Other functions include contactless payments and GPS tracking. Users can chosen between two versions of the watch, Bluetooth and eSIM, with the latter bringing the ability to make or receive calls. The Bluetooth model is said to run for up to 17 days between charges, while the eSIM edition offers up to 8 days battery life with typical use.

In China, you can buy the iQOO Watch GT 2 Bluetooth in Phantom Black or Star White for CNY 499 (~$70) at the vivo store. The iQOO Watch GT 2 eSIM version is more expensive at CNY 699 (~$98), only available in black. These prices match those of the equivalent versions of the vivo Watch GT 2. The company has yet to announce plans to bring this wearable to other markets.
