The successor to the Oppo Watch X2 (the non-global equivalent to the OnePlus Watch 3) is now said to launch with the same processor as the Pixel Watch 4, and more besides. It is thought to pack an ECG sensor along with the active crown missing from Google's smartwatch. The supposed next-gen flagship Oppo wearable might also stand a good chance of having better battery life.

Oppo might be mostly known for its smartphones, but also has made a name for itself in the smartwatch industry with some class-leading technology.

For example, the OEM's BES2800 co-processor helps the Watch X2 (also available on Amazon as the OnePlus Watch 3) get up to 120 hours of use per charge.

It is about to make a return in Oppo's next smartwatch, according to a new leak, which might mean it stands to comprehensively beat the Pixel Watch 4 in this regard, as the new Google flagship is still rated for 30 hours of battery life at best.

The BES2800 might be paired to the Plus version of the Watch 4's satellite-capable Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 SoC, even though that higher-end version has a QCC5100 back-up chip of its own.

The "Watch X3" might also be able to improve on the Pixel Watch 4's round OLED display with the addition of a rotating crown.

The "X3" might also be able to read ECGs, like some of its more Apple Watch-like predecessors (albeit in China only), and to support "all-day health monitoring".

Then again, there is no mention of the Watch 4's dedicated sensors for stress and skin temperature in relation to the "Watch X3" as yet.

Given the fact that the Watch X2 debuted in February 2025, and that the noted leaker Digital Chat Station predicts its successor will launch alongside a new smartphone, tablet and audio peripherals, it is possible that Oppo's new flagship smartwatch will be introduced as part of the "Find X9 Ultra" event early next year.
