What time is it? Oppo time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oppo-ut Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you notice about the Oppo watch is that it’s, well, a watch. The second is probably that it looks pretty damn similar to any and all other smart watches on the market. Sleek and black, the main thing setting it aside from a FitBit is the choice to go for a rectangular face over a platonic square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next you’ll notice the body; while largely plastic and a bit slick to teh touch, like an artificial dolphin, there’s a fair amount of metal (I assume aluminium) present too, like an artificial dolphin that’s blown into a sheet metal recycling centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bizarre similes aside, it does have a decent heft and isn’t small, although the plastics texture really isn’t my favourite. The strap is also strange, eschewing the traditional buckle in favour of a sort of pin push buttonhole contraption. Cool, yes. Secure, maybe. Convenient to put on, absolutely, if you don’t mind pressing your wrist to your stomach while strapping on your wristwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What that watch do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately my accessibility issues were far from over. I wear my watch on my non-dominant left hand, and so any buttons should be facing the left side for ease of right thumb access… That’s a confusing sentence. Anyway, it took me several days of frustrating fumbling before I learned that you could invert the watch in Settings, and flip it so buttosn would be optimally placed for your convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, southpaws, you’re in luck. Just make sure to read the manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting the fun in smartwatch functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve mastered the art of fastening the Dark Souls of watch straps, you get to use the Oppo Watch. And let me tell you, it’s not bad at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The famous Oppower is here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh boy does this thing pack a wallop for a little device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

… but the battery life isn’t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oddly for an Oppo, the battery needs something to be desired, There are various different power oprtions tro make it a liottle more accessubvle to those who don’t want to charge their watch as often as this, but yuou sacriufice power and speed, as well as features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, it charges in about 25 minutes, so it’s not exactly restrictive. So long as you remember to plug it in, that is. Which, uh, I did not. A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fine boi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A sharp screen, curved glass, and a delightful interface powered by Google’s OS make the Oppo Watch a pleasant experience, let down by the crushingly disappointing battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, if you want a smartwatch that won’t die halfway through your second day, I can’t recommend it over a Fitbit Versa 2 or 3. If, however, you remember to charge the damn thing, you couldn’t do any better for the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question is, how’s your memory?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
