Our Take on the Oppo Watch 3 Pro Smartwatch
The smartwatch has a beautiful design, I think this is the best-selling factor of the wearable. Its fashionable curved frame as well as the screen display. Sport and health do have a drastic improvement over the previous version.
The eSIM functionality, is also a good feature, especially for those who would love to have a wearable with independent calls. We just hope that Oppo will release a non-eSIM version of the curved smartwatch to caters also those who loves the look of the wearable but don’t want the eSIM functionality.
