iQOO has unveiled its second smartwatch, the Watch GT. It also announced a pair of very affordable wireless TWS 1i headphones, which, despite the price, stand out for their long battery life and noise cancellation system.

The iQOO Watch GT smartwatch received a 1.85-inch OLED display with a resolution of 450 × 390 pixels. The screen has a peak brightness of 600 cd / m2 and supports automatic change of 256 brightness levels depending on the ambient light. The display is declared to support the Always On function, working in combination with AI Smart Window, which shows important notifications on the screen (information about upcoming flights, movie showtimes, reminders about the need to take medications, etc.). The AI function also supports recording voice notes, which will then be synchronized with the smartphone.
The watch is equipped with a speaker and a microphone. You can use them to make calls. iQOO Watch GT will be offered, among other things, in a version with eSIM support, which does not even require a smartphone to make calls. In addition, the new product has a built-in GPS module and supports Baidu Maps navigation maps. The presence of a built-in NFC module allows you to use the watch as a travel card or a car key.
The iQOO Watch GT runs on the Blue OS operating system developed by parent company Vivo. This platform has its own app store, so you can download additional software and even some games for the watch.
The straps of the iQOO Watch GT smartwatch are replaceable. The built-in AI function supports the generation of watch faces based on text queries. There is also a function for editing images for different artistic styles.
The iQOO Watch GT is claimed to have up to 21 days of battery life (without eSIM). However, on average, the device will work up to 10 days without recharging. And when using eSIM, the smartwatch will work from 3 to 9 days.
The iQOO TWS 1i wireless earphones promise a long battery life of up to 10 hours using their own batteries alone. When using the included charging case, the total battery life is up to 45 hours.
The iQOO TWS 1i are equipped with 10mm dynamic drivers, offer support for the LC3 codec, and have a low-latency gaming mode (55ms). In addition, they are declared to have IP54 water protection (you can walk in the rain) and even an active noise cancellation function. But the latter is not a star.
The iQOO Watch GT smartwatch is already on sale and is priced at 500 yuan ($69/€64) for the Bluetooth version. The eSIM version is priced at 800 yuan ($110/€100). Shipments will begin on July 16. Meanwhile, the iQOO TWS 1i wireless earphones are priced at just 100 yuan ($14/€13). But you can get them even cheaper (60 yuan, or about $8) if you buy the new iQOO Neo9S Pro+ smartphone together with them.
