First look at the Oppo Watch X3 Mini shows a redesigned crown

Following reports that Oppo plans to launch a smaller version of its new smartwatch, the Watch X3, a leak has now provided our first look at the upcoming smartwatch. Reported to launch as the Oppo Watch X3 Mini, the image comes from Evan Blass.

The image, which was shared on X, shows the Oppo Watch X3 Mini will have a silver case and white straps that seem to be made of fluoroelastomer. However, what is interesting is that Oppo has redesigned the digital crown. The crown now features a rounded top, unlike that of its predecessor (and even the Watch X3) which has a flat top. The secondary button remains unchanged.

We are not sure if this is the only color that will be released, but last year's Oppo Watch X2 Mini (available on Amazon.de for €293.86) was released in two colors — Glimmer Gold and Nebula Black. Notwithstanding, owners should be able to swap the straps for that of a different color or material as they deem fit.

The Oppo Watch X3 Mini still doesn't have a release date, but there are reports it may be unveiled next month. When it arrives, it should cost less than the Oppo Watch X3, although that lower price also means it will be missing some key features that are available on the larger model.
