While smartwatches are designed to make us more health conscious and make us reach for our phones less. I’ve always believed that a second (smaller) screen on your wrist can be as distracting as your smartphone, and the Oppo Watch X3 decided to stop pretending by doubling this time.<\/p>\n
The Oppo Watch X3 comes with a dedicated remote control feature that allows me to control my phone from my wrist, and I’m more than happy to fiddle with it. This sounds silly, but it has also been incredibly helpful. <\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\tVikhyaat Vivek \/ Digital Trends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMy wrist became a small place for bad habits<\/h2>\n The OPPO Watch X3 can control short video playback and volume, which technically means I can scroll without touching my phone. My phone could sit on a stand or table, and I could control what was happening with my hand like the world’s laziest news director. The feature wasn’t exactly needed, but it was funny the first time I tried it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\tVikhyaat Vivek \/ Digital Trends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere is something funny about using a smartwatch as a remote control for short videos. The whole point of wearable technology is to be easy to see. This takes that idea and applies it to one of the smallest phone habits we have. I wasn’t just wasting time. I managed to bring another gadget for more laziness.<\/p>\n
The volume control made everything even better. Skipping or turning down the volume without holding the phone is trivial. It’s a feature that sounds like a joke until you use it on the couch, at the table, or while eating. I expect the novelty will wear off soon, but I’m sure there are many people who can make good use of this feature. <\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\tVikhyaat Vivek \/ Digital Trends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhat made things cool were the camera controls<\/h2>\n The most critical aspect of this feature is the camera control. Thanks to this function, the OPPO Watch X3 starts to feel like a proper extension of the phone. Remote camera shutters aren’t new, but having a function built into the watch makes it feel natural. I can put the phone down, step back, and take a picture without chasing the timer. It’s great for group shots, selfies, low shots, and anything where touching the phone can ruin the frame.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\tVikhyaat Vivek \/ Digital Trends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you have a new Oppo device, you also get a camera viewfinder that lets you preview the frame before taking the photo. So you don’t have to guess what the phone is seeing. This can be especially useful for creatives, travelers, and anyone who takes a lot of photos alone. It’s one of those features that makes a smartwatch feel logically connected to a phone. Most smartwatches, like your Apple watches, features are simply notifications or tracking health data. <\/p>\n
That’s what I love about the Oppo Watch X3. It has two distinct personalities. One is a serious smartwatch with advanced health tracking features and best-in-class control functions, while the other lets you chow down on your wrist. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
