Meizu launched its first smartwatch back in 2016. 5 years later, the company has launched its successor. The new Meizu Watch comes with several upgrades, including a new design and an AMOLED screen compared to the Meizu Mix. Here, we will be looking at the specifications and features of the Meizu Watch, along with its expected price in Nepal.

Meizu Watch Overview:

Design and Display

Meizu Watch features a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 368 x 448 pixels resolution. It results in a pixel density of 326 PPI. The display can get as bright as 500 nits while it is protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass.In terms of design, the new Meizu Watch looks a lot like the recent Apple Watch Series smartwatch. Its body uses a 6-series aluminum alloy. Similarly, Meizu has opted for ceramic material at the bottom. The watch weighs 69 grams (including strap) and comes with a fluoro-rubber strap.

Processor and Software

Inside, Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform runs the show. It is a 12nm quad-core chip with Cortex-A53 cores. This has been paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. On the software front, Meizu has made modifications to Google's Wear OS. It is calling the custom UI “Flyme for Watch.”

Health and Fitness Tracking

Like most budget smartwatches these days, Meizu Watch can monitor your heart rate. It can even track your blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) level. The watch comes with 14 different sports modes, and it's able to record activities like running, table tennis, cycling, mountain climbing, and so on. Unfortunately, there is no swim tracking despite Meizu’s claims of the watch being “waterproof”.

Rest of the features

Since it supports an eSIM, you will not need a smartphone to make/receive calls and messages. Its built-in GPS further cancels the need to bring a phone during your workout sessions. You can even stream music here. The watch has NFC for Meizu Pay. Similarly, it can connect to Wi-Fi while it is equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 to sync with your phone.
