The specification is not much known but some reports claim that it will feature a 1.4 LCD screen, along with a heart rate sensor and blood oxygen level monitor.
Oppo Watch

Timex Ironman R300
Timex is back in the smartwatch market. To be honest, in the world of bezel-less screens we have a watch with so thick bezels and a UI mix of touch and key interface. The retro look is the main attraction, but this big watch doesn’t have much to offer which makes it different. This GPS smartwatch is good at tracking workouts, and the battery life is insane. The battery life of this lightweight watch is said to be 25 days and with GPS permanently on it has a life of 20 hours. It is expected to release in India soon.
