Shen also shared an official image of the Oppo Watch that suggested its Apple Watch-like design. The teaser image showcases its metal frame that carries the curved screen

 

The watch will come in at least gold and black and looks to have a more pronounced curve on the left and right and less extreme on the top and bottom.
