OPPO's latest accessories offer luxury looks and longer battery life

OPPO is bringing a pair of new premium accessories to Australia to complement devices like the recently-released Find N6.

The first cab off the rank is the OPPO Watch X3. Picking up where last year’s OPPO Watch X2 left off, the company’s third generation wearable offers a familiar take on the premium wearable formula. It’s got a lightweight design, a titanium chassis, a comprehensive fitness tracking sensor suite, plus 16 hours of battery life. 

While the featureset found here is more or less on par with that of the OPPO Watch X2, the Watch X3 does come with the benefit of a slimmer profile. The wearable weighs just 43g, is IP69 rated for water and dust-resistance, and is available in two colours: Misty Titanium and Obsidian Black. Regardless of your preference in palette, you’re looking at a smartwatch that’s 13.4% lighter and 6.3% thinner than its predecessor.

On the inside, the OPPO Watch X3 is powered by the latest version of Wear OS. As with the Watch X2, the wearable relies on a dual-chip architecture that offers better power efficiency and battery life. According to OPPO, those looking at using the device in Smart Mode can expect 5 days of usage on a single charge while those using Power Saver Mode can look forward to as many as 16 days per charge.  

That said, one area where what's on offer differs from the likes of the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch is that the OPPO Watch X3 does not come with eSIM connectivity.

In any case, the premium wearable arrives accompanied by the new OPPO Enco Clip2 headphones. These open-ear headphones boast an eye-catching unibody ear cuff design and weigh just 5.2 grams. Under the hood, the earbuds feature a dynamic dual driver setup that promises to use frequency separation to deliver deep bass complemented by natural highs.

OPPO has even tagged in Danish audio brand Dynadio to fine-tune the sound profile here, with the Enco Clip2 said to faithfully reproduce the brand’s preferred combination of clarity and tonal precision right out of the box.

In Australia, the OPPO Watch X3 and OPPO Enco Clip2 are both available from this week via the OPPO Australia online store. The Watch X3 starts at $699 while the OPPO Enco Clip2 starts at $299.
