As an Apple Watch user, I wish Apple Watch had these

Since the day I took more care of my health and exercised more sports, I started using smartwatches. As an iPhone user, I choose the Apple Watch as a device to track everything from running, gym sessions to tracking notifications on my wrist without taking out my phone. The modern features available on this Apple watch make me temporarily satisfied, until I have a hand to try a similar product from OPPO .

There’s no denying the OPPO Watch has quite similar design lines to the Apple Watch, but that doesn’t mean it becomes an identical, non-creative copy. On the contrary, I found this watch to have a few features that I wish for now I wish the Apple Watch had.

Fast charging

Yes, fast battery charging is something that Apple Watch users have been yearning for by now. A watch is something we wear on our wrist every day, and sometimes forget its presence there. So, it’s not uncommon to occasionally raise my hand and realize the watch battery is running low, but I’m prepared to go urgent.

I have encountered this a lot. With the Apple Watch 5 that I use every day, one morning to go to work, go home to run (or the gym) in the afternoon and in the evening if you remember, take out the charger from 9:00 and wait nearly 3 hours to fully charge the battery before wearing. go to bed. The reason I don’t charge overnight is because I want the watch to be the device that will ring my wrist to wake up every morning, not the loud alarm.

But you know, if you forget to charge before, surely the clock will be about 10% or maybe “turn off” before the crows. So plugging in the charger and then waiting to go to work (or go running early in the morning) would be painful for me. At times like this, I just wish the Apple Watch had fast charging.

And since using the OPPO Watch, I realized that it is capable of charging very quickly. If you forgot to charge the previous night, you just need to plug in the charger in the morning and go brushing your teeth, changing the balance for the whole day without having to bring the charger.

The OPPO Watch is able to recharge 50% of the battery in less than 20 minutes, which means that I brush my teeth, wash my face and clean it and it is ready to go with me to the company or do a “jogging”.

Track your sleep

One of the biggest shortcomings of the Apple Watch is the lack of built-in sleep tracking. The first day I bought an Apple Watch for use, I was panicked when I spent a large amount of money but the sleep tracking feature was nowhere to be found.

In fact, you can download the app to measure it, but no app is free and we have to pay money to use it for a long time. Obviously, when you spend around 10 million for a watch from Apple, you expect it to have all the most essential features, but you are wrong.

On the other side, there are a number of smartwatches in the Android ecosystem that have this feature built in, and the OPPO Watch is one of the names among them.

This feature will help you know the quality of your sleep each night, which can then be adjusted for better, such as sleeping earlier or needing more sleep …

Intuitive training guide

Health is the most important thing and you always need to schedule a time to practice to increase your resistance and improve your physique. Besides displaying notifications, it’s also a tool to help you practice better sports, which is why I abandoned the traditional watch for a smartwatch.

With simple subjects such as running, swimming or gym, Apple Watch can respond well, but for those who do not have a background in sports, it will probably be quite difficult to practice. Practicing if not instructed, that leads to laziness and skipping. That is the shortcoming of the Apple Watch and the OPPO has “compensated” for this part.

OPPO Watch can be said to be the watch that is suitable for the majority of users who want to improve their health by offering more exercise modes, in addition to the 5-minute workout feature with many intuitive tutorials. .

You can watch the exercise instructions right on your wrist without having to open your phone to watch YouTube anymore.

The navigation is more useful, less cluttered

Apple Watch has a very nice dial, I don’t deny this. But it does bring a very uncomfortable downside to people who carry backpacks to work like me. Every time I put the backpack on (or take off the backpack), the strap often gets caught up in this dial and sometimes I get scared one day this beautiful knob will go away if I’m not careful. Not to mention when I’m exercising and listening to music, some of my movements will accidentally hit the dial, causing the volume to change up or down.

The required solution that I have to do is turn the dial inwards, ie wear the clock upside down and set the display backwards. (Photo: Trusted Review)

With the OPPO Watch, despite its slightly confusing design for the Apple family, what I have to add points for OPPO is their hard key cluster. Not dial is indeed a huge lifesaver for my daily activities.

In addition, the navigation of OPPO Watch is also simpler, you can swipe from left to right edge to Back to 1 level and less need the intervention of hard keys.

In short, you may find these points quite small, but for someone who wants to take advantage of the full functionality of a smartwatch, it is clear that Apple is lagging behind and needs to change more to please people. Use fastidious like me.
