Vivo Watch 5 will get longer battery life and new health features
By ForGeeks Vivo will unveil its new products on April 21, including the flagship X200 Ultra smartphone, the X200s model, the Pad 5 Pro tablet and the Watch 5 smartwatch. A few days before the event, the company shared the key improvements expected for the Vivo Watch 5 over its predecessor, the Watch 3.
Extended battery life
One of the major updates was an increase in battery life. The Watch 5 is rated for 22 days of battery life – six days more than the Watch 3. That’s thanks to a switch from Wear OS to Vivo’s own operating system called Blue River. The new platform consumes less power, allowing the watch to last longer.
Features for health monitoring
Vivo is emphasizing health and offering new features. Watch 5 will be able to do a quick arrhythmia risk assessment in just 30 seconds, as well as track other cardiac indicators. In addition, the watch will support blood pressure monitoring, making it more useful for everyday health monitoring.
Artificial intelligence for sports
An AI assistant for running is also announced among the new features. Details are still scarce, but it will likely use artificial intelligence to provide real-time advice or analyze your run, helping to improve technique and performance.
What the previous model
Remember, the Vivo Watch 3 featured a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a rotary button. The device ran on BlueOS and offered advanced health features: eight-channel heart rate monitoring, 16-channel blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, stress and sleep tracking, and more than 100 sports modes. Connectivity options included Bluetooth calling, music control, NFC and gesture control. The watch weighed in at 36 grams and has a battery life of up to 16 days.
Expectations for the Watch 5
While the full specs of the Watch 5 have yet to be revealed, it’s already known that the new model will be a significant step forward in terms of energy efficiency and health. All the details about the Watch 5 and other devices will be revealed on April 21 at Vivo’s presentation.
