OPPO Watch and Band Now Support iPhone and Apple Health Syncing

[MacRumors]

Owners of OPPO's Watch and Band wearables can now use their devices with iPhone, thanks to OPPO's HeyTap Health companion app making it onto the App Store.

Spotted by XDA Developers, the HeyTap app lets OPPO users collect and analyze fitness tracking data collected by the wearables. Users can personalize watch faces, customize workout and health settings, and sync tracking data with Apple Health.

In addition, the app tracks SpO2 data from the Band, and users can keep tabs on their sleep quality, heart rate, and daily activity goals. iOS notification support is also included, so OPPO users can get iPhone notifications on their wrist.

OPPO launched its Watch in China last year, and the Watch and Band have since been made available in additional markets worldwide. Its introduction was met with derision in some quarters because of its similar design to Apple Watch.

OPPO HeyTap is a free download from the App Store. [Direct Link]

Looks like they copy and pasted the Apple Watch design. No surprise that they started in China.

Copying and practicing is a core part of studentship and apprenticeship. When the time comes, the students will better their teachers.

Tracing -> copying -> dabbling -> authoring

This gives people who can’t afford an Apple Watch an Apple Watch like experience. It’s a service to the third world countries like India.

They can copy the hardware but without the apple ecosystem they’re not a viable option imo

 

[Abazigal]

Ignore - mistook this product for something else.

It is competition. Their product competes directly with Apples. That’s competition.

Its target market is in China, where is dominated by android without GMS and Apply ecosystem is nothing.

I'm using iPhone with Mi band. Because apple watch needs to be charged everyday.

but why would anybody with an iPhone not buy an apple watch?

I bought an Apple watch, sold it and now use a Garmin. Not all use cases are the same and for me the AW wasn't a great experience.

In the same way a forger is competition for The Mint

They are better off saving their money for the real thing or a Fitbit.

This Is the Worst Smartwatch I've Ever Used

It’s rare for a flagship gadget to fail on every single front, and yet the OnePlus Watch has managed to pull it off. Every little thing went wrong when I

Wait. Your response is a negative review of an entirely different product? That's like someone saying AirPods suck and providing a bad review of some Alibaba earbuds as proof of the AirPods sucking.

A meaningful rebuttal is good. This ain't it.

I have WatchFace Anxiety. I am afraid to change it somehow. I think it is the overload of features that puts me into an ataxic state.

Good thing apple has never copied and pasted things from other companies or people

Sorry. I mistook the review for another product. I will delete my earlier post on this.

Mea culpa.
