Vivo released the Watch 3 alongside the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro on November 13 as promised. This smartwatch is the first one to bring the company's self-developed BlueOS. So without further delay, let's dive into the specifications of Vivo Watch 3, including its availability and expected price in Nepal.
However, there are two different variants of Watch 3 in terms of straps. The leather version of it comes with twin lugs to hold the watch, while the silicone one doesn't have any sort of lug. Furthermore, it comes in two different colors: Black and Silver.
For display, Vivo has decided to go with a 1.43-inch display for the Watch 3. The panel is AMOLED, boasts a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels, and supports always-on display. Likewise, the watch can also survive water up to 5 meters deep, thanks to its 5ATM standards.

Design and Display
Starting with the design, the Vivo Watch 3 features a round shape with a curved display at the top. On the right is a rotating crown made of stainless steel, which also doubles as a menu button. There is another button beneath it for navigation. By the way, the watch comes in a single 46.1mm size, weighing 36 grams.Connectivity
