Besides sleep-related problems, young adults are also concerned about physical exercise during Ramadan, and the OPPO Band is here to make the workout easier. It has 12 built-in workout modes for running, walking, cycling, yoga, and other popular sports such as swimming, badminton, cricket and more. With the OPPO Band recording the exercise data, users can check their progress using the HeyTap Health app, which is key to motivating users.

Driven by our theme of 'Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World', OPPO has innovated the OPPO Band to meet the needs of consumers who want the convenience of technology to help them stay healthy and fit.

During an eight-hour sleep cycle, it conducts non-stop SpO2 monitoring 28,800 times—fully measuring the user's body oxygen saturation. With its continuous SpO2 monitor and professional sleep monitor, the OPPO Band can help users to develop healthier sleep habits during Ramadan.

The OPPO Band also comes with a built-in heart rate monitor that can monitor the user's heart rate around the clock. If the heart rate is too high, the smart band will vibrate to warn the user of irregular heartbeat. With the OPPO Band measuring heart rate during exercise, users can avoid over-training and learn what pace they need to keep, to ensure that they are progressing towards their goals, safely.

Responding to the younger generation's need to show a personal, distinctive style, the OPPO Band provides a wide range of choices when it comes to the watch face and strap. The strap comes in two colors, black and lavender; and the watch face is available in over 40 different designs for users to switch between, finding a design fit for every occasion and mood. 

The OPPO Band can also work as an extension of the user's smartphone. Users can receive messaging and call notifications, control music playback, and even find their mobile phones through the band. As for the battery, the OPPO Band uses a high-performance, low-power processor. Made with a large 100mAh battery, it can be fully charged in just 1.5 hours.

Now available across major retailers and e-commerce platforms in the UAE, the all-new OPPO Band is priced at AED 179.
