The Vivo Watch 3 Is A Pixel Watch 2 Clone With BlueOS And 16day Battery Life
Vivo Watch 3 has officially arrived in China. The company announced that the smartwatch will have a battery life of up to 16 days and will be used to launch a new proprietary operating system.
The latest generation comes almost two years after the launch of the Vivo Watch 2 in China and as we saw then, there are currently no details on the global version of the budget watch.
What we do know is that the Watch 3 will bring a lot of changes.
The design has changed completely from its predecessor; It appears to be heavily inspired by the Google Pixel Watch 2 with a domed display, a crown and a single side button.
The 46mm model was initially launched in two body colors, black and silver, each featuring the same 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels.

The leather strap version of the Watch 3, which retails for RMB 1,199 (around $165/£135), has barriers at both ends of the watch body, while the silicone strap is available for RMB 1,099 (around $150/£125) instead. Fits perfectly on the edge of the device.
For those living in China, there is an eSIM version of the Watch 3 for a small additional cost.
Vivo devices will run BlueOS, the company's latest operating system with app support, integration with smart assistant Jovi, and a catalog of health and fitness tracking features.
Interestingly, Vivo also claims that the Watch 3's 505mAh battery allows the device to last 16 days in extended mode and eight days in standard Bluetooth mode.
With all settings enabled and heavy usage, that estimate drops to around three days, says Vivo.
Since the company has no plans to launch this watch in other regions in 2023, we might have to wait until next year to check it out. However, stay tuned as we will definitely bring you all the information on the Global Edition.
