Oppo announced in a post on Weibo, that the Oppo Watch is receiving a new worldwide release that introduces the needed sensors and hardware to perform an electrocardiogram, commonly referred to as an ECG.

As a smartwatch that has been certified as a Class II medical device by the National Food and Drug Administration, it protects your heart health.
