Vivo Watch 5 comes with BlueOS 2.0 and 22 days battery life
In China, Vivo unveiled the Vivo Watch 5, a new smartwatch, in addition to the new X200 series smartphones and a few tablets. With improvements in style, sports tracking, and health statistics, it is a gradual upgrade over the Watch 3.
Vivo Watch 5 specs
On the surface, not much has changed in terms of design. The Watch 5 features a 1.43-inch curved AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a brightness of up to 1500 nits, while maintaining the recognizable circular dial.
The watch now weights only 32g without the strap and comes in Night Black and Moonlight White with stainless steel or aluminum alloy bodies. Compared to the 35g frame of its predecessor, that is a slight but notable decrease. Depending on their preferences, users can select leather or silicone straps.

BlueOS 2.0 powers this year’s model, which has a few new software features. The new AI Sports Coach can monitor your running form and efficiency and even provide fat-burning training regimens depending on your heart rate in real time.
With 24-hour tracking of heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, sleep, and even involvement in blood pressure and heart health research, Vivo also boasts a more comprehensive suite of health monitoring functions.
Similar to the Watch 3, this device does not yet have a complete operating system. Although there is a working app store, third-party app support is restricted. It does, however, offer the essentials, such as notifications, music controls, and Bluetooth calling. In addition, it has a 5ATM water resistance rating, GPS for tracking outdoors, and NFC for payments.
Battery life is one of the main selling aspects. Vivo claims that because of improved power management, the Watch 5 can operate in Bluetooth mode for up to 22 days in extended use situations. Additionally, there is a new AI Smart Window feature that uses usage patterns to prioritize the information you are most likely to require.
Not all smartwatches are compatible with both iOS and Android devices, but the Watch 5 is. WeChat is directly supported on the watch for people in China.
Price and availability
The silicone strap version of the Vivo Watch 5 costs CNY 799, or about $109, while the leather strap version costs CNY 999, or about $136. Pre-orders are already being accepted, and official sales will begin on April 29. International availability is still unknown.
