iQoo Watch details have been revealed by the company, ahead of its December 27 launch event that will be headlined by the iQoo Neo 9 series. The wearable is set to debut as iQoo’s first smartwatch with a round AMOLED display. Ahead of its arrival, the Vivo sub-brand has begun teasing some of the key features of the upcoming wearable.

The iQoo Watch is claimed to deliver up to 16 days of battery life in Bluetooth mode.

iQoo has offered a glimpse of the design and specifications of the upcoming iQoo Watch through multiple teasers on Weibo.

Teasers indicate a black strap color option for the iQoo Watch, featuring a side-mounted button for UI navigation.

The wearable will support Bluetooth calling for receiving calls via a connected handset. It is claimed to offer a maximum battery life of up to seven days in eSIM mode and up to 16 days in Bluetooth mode.

iQoo has officially announced that the launch event for the iQoo Watch is scheduled for December 27 at 7:00 pm local time in China (4:30 pm IST).

The unveiling will coincide with the introduction of two upcoming smartphones, the iQoo Neo 9 and iQoo Neo 9 Pro, and a truly wireless stereo (TWS) headset.

These devices are anticipated to make their debut in India in January. Additionally, iQoo’s 1e TWS headset is set to be introduced alongside the smartphones and smartwatch in China.
