It comes in Night Black and Moonlight White with lightweight aluminium or stainless steel bodies, now weighing just 32g without the strap. You can choose either a silicone ora leather strap.
The watch runs on BlueOS 2.0, which brings new features like AI Sports Coach. This helps track your running form, efficiency and gives fat-burning workout tips using real-time heart rate data. Health tracking has also improved with round-the-clock monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, sleep, and more. There’s even support for blood pressure and heart health research.
It doesn’t run a full operating system but covers all the basics such as Bluetooth calling, music controls, notifications, NFC for payments, GPS, and 5ATM water resistance. Vivo’s added a new AI Smart Window that highlights the info you’re most likely to need.
Battery life is a big win here as Vivo claims up to 22 days of use in Bluetooth mode. Plus, it works with both Android and iOS, and even supports WeChat in China.
