Vivo recently unveiled its first foray into the smartwatch market with the Watch GT. Marking a departure from their usual circular designs, the Watch GT boasts a sleek rectangular 1.85-inch AMOLED display with curved 2.5D glass for a premium look. The watch is housed in a lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy casing, making it comfortable for all-day wear.
The Watch GT prioritizes long battery life, a key feature for smartwatch users. Vivo claims an impressive 21 days of use on a single charge with Bluetooth enabled and eSIM functionality deactivated. Even with the eSIM engaged for making calls and texts directly from your wrist, the watch promises a respectable 9 days of battery life. This translates to less time spent tethered to a charger and more time on the go. However, it’s important to note that wireless charging isn’t supported, so users will rely on the included dual pogo pin charger.
