One year passed, and on July 27th, OPPO Watch 2 series was officially released, which inherited the previous generation products and had a longer battery life, realizing both intelligence and battery life, and creating the flagship of a new generation of Android smart watches. Let's experience it together.
OPPO Watch 2 detailed evaluation
Interaction of New APP List on 3D Curved Screen
The appearance of OPPO Watch 2 is basically the same as that of the first generation products, and it is still an AMOLED 3D hyperboloid flexible square screen. The screen size of 42mm is 1.75 inch, and the screen size of 46mm is 1.9 1 inch, in which the resolution of 46mm is 402*476 and PPI reaches 326, and the display effect is clear and delicate. At the same time, it also improves the display effect under strong light, and the screen content can be seen clearly under strong light, and the screen ratio reaches 72.7%, and the overall visual impression is excellent.
The 46mm version of the shell is still made of aluminum alloy, but the bottom shell is changed from ceramic +PC to PC, so even on the basis of the increase of battery capacity, the weight is reduced from 40g (excluding strap) of the previous generation to 35g, so the whole body is lighter and thinner.
The strap is made of fluororubber, which is also breathable when wearing soft and comfortable sports, and supports 5ATM waterproof.
In terms of APP list, in addition to the previous "list" and "Jiugong format", OPPO Watch 2 has also added "planet" arrangement, and it is smooth and convenient to slide and select the corresponding APP at will.
A great pleasure for many people to choose smart watches is that there are many dials, and sometimes changing the dial will give them the illusion of changing a new watch. OPPO Watch 2 has a built-in dial shop with 100+ dials including health, efficiency, fun, art and classics, which can fully meet everyone's needs.
The first generation of AI wear dial was continued and upgraded by the second generation. You can generate the same series of dials by shooting a piece of clothing. The upgraded AI wear dial 2.0 adds textures such as recognition points, stripes and zebras, which are combined into 135 static patterns and more than 20 dynamic patterns.
At the same time, OPPO Watch 2 has also added a light drawing dial, which can be drawn by connecting it to the mobile phone. You can choose different colors, brushes, shapes, and of course, you can randomly generate patterns directly. In addition, there are dynamic dials and album dials, which are still very playable.
Dual-engine hybrid intelligence and battery life
The first generation of OPPO Watch is equipped with Snapdragon 2500 processor and Apollo 3 processor, and OPPO Watch 2 is upgraded to Snapdragon Wear 4 100 and Apollo 4s. Snapdragon 4 100 brings better performance, Apollo4s has better power consumption performance, and it also has Cortex M4 processor design, which has stronger performance and faster response than the previous generation.
The core upgrade of OPPO Watch 2 experience is UDDE dual-engine hybrid technology. Although the first generation is also equipped with dual chips, the two chips work independently. The UDDE dual-engine hybrid technology makes the two chips no longer work alone in the all-intelligent mode, but cooperate tacitly, and seamlessly switch Android and RTOS systems according to different scenarios.
Some low-power scenarios, such as watching time, notifying, checking health centers, sports status and other practical RTOS systems, and intelligent scenarios, such as using applications, arouse the Android system to achieve a perfect balance between intelligence and power consumption.
OPPO Watch 2 continues the dual mode of full intelligent mode and light intelligent mode. The fully intelligent mode can be regarded as a "small watch" on your wrist, which can make calls (eSIM), receive/reply to WeChat messages, download applications, use Alipay, map navigation, listen to songs with Netease Cloud Music /QQ Music, etc. Even if the mobile phone is not around, OPPO Watch 2 can basically help you complete most things. It is a smart watch that can be used without a mobile phone.
The light smart mode is mainly to extend the battery life of the watch, while retaining some intelligent functions, such as counting steps, checking heart rate, brushing NFC, monitoring sleep while sleeping, and receiving notification messages.
In the fully intelligent mode, the battery life of OPPO Watch 2 reached 4 days (46mm, the same below). In contrast, the battery life in the first generation of all-intelligent mode is 40 hours, and the improvement is still obvious, saving the trouble of charging for one day. The battery life of light smart mode has reached 16 days. When the battery power of the watch is 20%, it will automatically remind to turn on the light smart mode, which is equivalent to reminding to turn on the power saving mode when the battery power of the mobile phone reaches 20%.
For so many days, the author used the dual mode of 100%-20% all-intelligent mode +20% light intelligent mode. Judging from the use situation, the typical mode can be used for more than 3 days from 100%-20%, and the light intelligent mode will be turned on after 20%. Due to the long battery life, it has not been tested from 20% to 0.
Therefore, charging once is basically about twice a week in full intelligent mode and once every half month in light intelligent mode. According to the author's all-intelligent+light-intelligent use mentioned above, it is basically charged once a week, and this battery life is still relatively excellent. (The above test is 46mm)
Moreover, OPPO Watch 2 takes one day 15 minutes and is fully charged for 75 minutes. It takes one day to upgrade to fully charged 10 minutes, and the speed is increased by 20%.
50+ popular apps are convenient and fast to adapt to cross-device interconnection.
Although the first generation has supported the full intelligent mode, it still needs to be recharged frequently because the battery life is only 40 hours after booting. OPPO Watch 2, equipped with UDDE dual-engine hybrid technology, improves the battery life of the fully intelligent mode to 4 days, greatly increasing the practicality and making users more worry-free.
In the fully intelligent mode, OPPO Watch 2 is a device that can be used without a mobile phone at all, and OPPO Watch 2 can do many things that a mobile phone can do.
For example, on mobile phones, OPPO Watch 2 46mm/42mm eSIM version supports 1 multi-terminal+1 single-terminal call forwarding, which can independently answer calls, receive information and surf the Internet.
The number of watch apps has increased to 50+, such as WeChat (Children's Watch Edition), QQ, Alipay, QQ Music, Netease Cloud Music, Kuwo Music, Baidu Map, Himalayan, Tencent/Phoenix News, Navigation, Pocket Bus, Meiyou, Express 100, etc. , which is commonly used by everyone, can be installed and used on OPPO Watch 2.
For example, use WeChat (Children's Edition) to chat with friends, send messages/photos, and add friends; For example, it is inconvenient for mobile navigation to ride a bike. Navigation with a watch, you can know the next road by lifting your wrist, and you can also broadcast navigation in real time; For example, when you go shopping, you can pay with Alipay/WeChat by lifting your wrist; Get up in the morning and lift your wrist to browse the news (you can also broadcast the news); You can even use your mobile phone to take a taxi and watch to check the license plate and route.

In the e-sports mode, users can directly answer the phone with their watches while playing games, thus avoiding the trouble that the game is interrupted. At the same time, there are game reminders for users to return to the game in time (the glory of the king is the capture reminder and the peaceful elite is the take-off reminder), and the center rate of the game process is recorded in real time and compiled into the battle report.

The watch can preview the framing picture and video picture in real time, and can count down to take pictures. This function is very practical when fixing the mobile phone in one place to take big photos.
In addition to the above cross-device interconnection, OPPO Watch 2 also supports Bluetooth car keys as watches. As a car key, the watch is very practical, which can check the control of the car, unlock/lock the car, open and close the window, open and close the tailgate, find the car, enter the security code and so on. At present, the supported models are Ideal, Changan and Aichi.
