We Review the New OPPO Watch X2 Mini: Compact Elegance Meets Smart Performance

OPPO has unveiled the OPPO Watch X2 Mini, a smartwatch that proves good things really do come in small packages. Worn by none other than table tennis world champion Sun Yingsha, the X2 Mini is a sleek blend of design, fitness, and smart functionality.

A Watch That Doubles as Jewelry

At just 1.32 inches, the OPPO Watch X2 Mini is OPPO’s most compact smartwatch yet, designed to sit comfortably on the wrist.

The standout Glimmer Gold variant, plated with 18K rose gold and finished with jewellery polishing, gives it the aura of a fine accessory rather than just another piece of tech.

For those who prefer subtle sophistication, Nebula Black offers a timeless alternative. Add to that customisable watch faces, including photos or videos from your smartphone, and you get a device that’s as much about self-expression as it is about utility.

The watch has taken me through professional meetings, cafe dates, and workout sessions.

I personally like the Glimmer Gold version and swapped out the original straps with the limited-edition Sun Yingsha bonus straps because I like the cheery yellow colour and that they’re rubber, which are comfortable. Side note: the straps are very easy to snap on and off, while still sturdy after they’re attached.

Built for Fitness and Wellness

Don’t let the “Mini” fool you; this watch is stacked with over 100 workout modes, including 11 pro-level options for detailed performance tracking.

The Oppo Watch x2 Mini was a great companion for my hike up the Seongsan Ilchulbong in Jeju.

Runners will appreciate data-rich insights like stride length, ground contact time, and left/right balance, while the Fat Burning Evaluation keeps workouts efficient by monitoring your optimal heart rate zone.

Automatic workout detection ensures you won’t miss logging your activity, whether it’s a casual jog or a swim (yes, it’s 5ATM water resistant).

Beyond fitness, the X2 Mini doubles as a comprehensive health companion. From round-the-clock heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring to multi-dimensional sleep tracking with breathing risk alerts, it helps you keep tabs on both body and mind.

The Mind and Body Evaluation even interprets fatigue and stress levels, while quirky Healing Watch Faces transform your well-being data into playful pet visuals for a touch of motivation.

I find these features helpful in maintaining my fitness routines, serving as a motivation. At the same time, it allows me to stay attuned to my well-being, reminding me to get up to move around if I’ve been seated for too long, or to take breaks when I find myself feeling stressed or fatigue. It’s pretty much like a personal assistant for your fitness and wellness.

Power That Lasts

Battery life is often the Achilles’ heel of compact smartwatches, but the X2 Mini impresses with up to 60 hours in Smart Mode and a staggering 7 days in Power Saver Mode, thanks to OPPO’s Dual-Engine Architecture. This makes it the most long-lasting battery in a smartwatch I’ve tried so far.

Even better, a quick 10-minute VOOC charge delivers a full day’s use, making it ideal for those always on the go.

Running on Wear OS by Google, the watch keeps you seamlessly connected. You’ll have access to Google apps, offline YouTube Music, Google Wallet for payments, and even Google Maps navigation from your wrist. OPPO has also teased integration with Gemini AI, hinting at even smarter assistance in the near future.

Handy extras like camera remote control and video playback control make daily life just a little more convenient.

My Verdict?

As someone who needs an accessory that performs for both work and fitness, the OPPO Watch X2 Mini strikes a sweet balance between luxury aesthetics and robust functionality.

Whether you’re after a smartwatch that looks as good as it performs, or a compact companion that doesn’t skimp on features, the X2 Mini checks all the boxes.

At S$399 for Nebula Black and S$449 for Glimmer Gold, it’s priced competitively for what it delivers.
