What are the OPPO Watch X3 and Enco X4?
The OPPO Watch X3 is OPPO’s new smartwatch, launching alongside the OPPO Enco X4 noise-cancelling earbuds. UAE sales of both start on 6 November.
The watch runs Google’s Wear OS 6. OPPO also designed its light titanium body for everyday wear, sport and the outdoors. The earbuds, meanwhile, come from OPPO’s partnership with Dynaudio, now in its seventh year.
What does the OPPO Watch X3 offer?
The watch’s titanium alloy case pairs with sapphire crystal glass. Without the strap, the body weighs about 43g and measures 11mm thick. That’s 13.4 per cent lighter than the Watch X2, and 6.3 per cent thinner. Its 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED screen reaches 1,500 nits in strong sunlight, or up to 3,000 nits in OPPO’s workout modes.
Two colours are on offer, Obsidian Black and Misty Titanium, and each has its own strap. Obsidian Black uses a fluoro-rubber strap, while Misty Titanium has a hybrid one. Both close with a stainless steel buckle. With the strap on, the watch weighs about 68g in Obsidian Black and 70g in Misty Titanium.
A Snapdragon W5 and a BES2800BP chip do the heavy lifting inside. Alongside Wear OS, it also runs ColorOS Watch 8.0, with Google Maps, Google Wallet, YouTube Music and Gemini on board. Some functions may vary by country or region. However, it needs a phone on Android 9.0 or newer with Google Mobile Services. That rules out iPhones and Android Go phones.
Day-to-day, it handles Bluetooth calls and message alerts from the wrist. With NFC, it can also pay in shops through Google Wallet, wherever the service is available. Owners of OPPO phones on ColorOS 15 or later can also control the phone’s camera from the watch.
How long does the OPPO Watch X3 battery last?
In Smart Mode with standard use, the 646mAh OPPO Silicon-Carbon Battery lasts up to five days. With heavy use, expect up to three days instead. Switch to Power Saver Mode, on the other hand, and it lasts up to 16 days. These figures come from OPPO’s lab tests so that real-world results may vary. When it runs low, a 10-minute charge adds a day of use, and a full charge takes about 75 minutes.

What health and sport features does the Watch X3 offer?
The watch offers more than 100 sports modes, including professional tracking for running, skiing, tennis and swimming. For runners, it reports ground contact time, vertical oscillation and left-right balance in real time, with dual-band GPS for positioning.
For a quick check, rest a finger on the side electrode, and the 60-second Wellness Overview reads 10 health indicators. It also tracks sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, and wrist temperature, and it can detect falls.
For toughness, the watch carries IP68 and IP69 ratings, 5ATM water resistance, and MIL-STD-810H durability. Its screen also accepts touch input from wet fingers.
What does the OPPO Enco X4 offer?
Inside the Enco X4, an 11mm woofer teams up with a 6mm tweeter, each with its own DAC. OPPO and Dynaudio spent more than 300 hours tuning its five sound profiles. They’re OPPO’s first lossless earbuds, handling up to 24-bit/48kHz over LHDC Lossless with a Find X10 Series phone.
Compared with the Enco X3s, OPPO’s lab puts the noise cancellation at up to 100 per cent stronger. Its AI Adaptive Mode, off by default, adjusts noise cancellation to suit metro trains, taxis and planes. On calls, AI Clear Call cuts background noise, while AI Live Translation covers more than 30 languages. Translation needs an OPPO phone on ColorOS 17 or later, and OPPO caps it at 5,000 minutes a month.
OPPO developed the silicone foam ear tips using more than 2,800 ear scans, and they come in four sizes. When you start talking, Conversation Awareness lowers the volume and switches to Transparency Mode. The earbuds also offer spatial audio with head tracking, a 10-band EQ and connections to two devices at once.
Unlike the watch, the earbuds work with iPhones and other Android phones via OPPO’s HeyMelody app. That said, OPPO recommends one of its own phones on ColorOS 17 or later. Say “Hey Google” and the earbuds call up Gemini, though compatibility and availability vary.
They carry an IP55 rating for dust and water. Battery life runs up to six hours with noise cancellation on, or 26 hours with the case. Switch it off, however, and total playback with the case reaches up to 53 hours. A 10-minute charge adds up to 14 hours of listening. OPPO’s lab measured these figures, with playback over AAC at 50 per cent volume. The Enco X4 comes in Glacier White.
What about the OPPO Find X10 Series?
The Find X10 Series has two models: the Find X10 and the Find X10 Pro Max. OPPO launched the series across the GCC in October, and both phones also carry Hasselblad-branded cameras.

What is the OPPO and XPENG partnership?
OPPO has also partnered with XPENG, linking the Find X10 Series to the XPENG GX SUV. Their #BeyondTheMoment campaign centres on long drives, outdoor traditions and winter camping in the UAE.
Between 6 and 20 November, XPENG’s Sheikh Zayed Road showroom in Dubai lets visitors try the phones beside the GX. GX buyers also get 10 per cent off the Find X10 Series and a co-branded kit, while stocks last.
Where can you buy the OPPO Watch X3 and Enco X4 in the UAE?
Both are on sale from 6 November through authorised UAE retailers and partners. The OPPO Watch X3 costs AED 1,599 in either colour, while the OPPO Enco X4 costs AED 899. The Find X10 Series, meanwhile, reaches the same channels from that day.
