The Oppo Watch X embraces a classic circular design with a polished stainless steel case. A highlight is the 1.43-inch AMOLED display protected by tough Sapphire Crystal Glass, offering exceptional scratch resistance and vibrant visuals with a 466 x 466 pixel resolution and 1000-nit peak brightness. The display also supports always-on functionality for quick glance access to information. Two physical buttons adorn the right side of the watch for convenient navigation.
