SpO2 tracking and heart rate tracking sensors that were previously seen as niche are now household items. Such has been the effect of the pandemic that people have begun normalising measurement of health vitals as a routine activity. With its recently launched Band Style, OPPO has taken the benchmark many notches higher for its competitors.
OPPO Band Style has a premium Continuous Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) sensor embedded in it that measures second-by-second readings. It can collect up to 28,800 oxygen readings in an average sleep cycle which makes for extremely accurate readings and comprehensive profiles of breathing patterns, thus providing alerts to the user whenever it identifies a potential respiratory threat. It also gives you a vibration alert while you are resting or working out if it detects any abnormality in your heart beat. Put together these features can be critical especially during times like these when the pandemic has made it imperative to monitor your vitals on an on-going basis.
The innovation doesn’t end there. OPPO Band Style is adorned with a beautiful 2.79cm (1.1”) full-colour AMOLED screen with 2.5D curved-surface scratch-resistant glass. It also has two unique band options to match your vibe. While the watch excels in lifestyle usage, it also packs a punch in the fitness department. It has 12 different workout modes namely Outdoor Run, Indoor Run, Fat Burn Run, Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Cycling, Indoor Cycling, Elliptical, Rowing, Cricket, Badminton, Swimming and Yoga.
The device also flaunts a host of other features like Daily Activity Recording to keep the user motivated and Get-Up Reminder to ensure regular breaks away from desk. The Band Style is also water resistant upto 50 meters.
During these times of unprecedented difficulty, OPPO has also kept their spirit of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World” relevant to society. With a host of humanitarian efforts, the company has been at the forefront of corporate social responsibility.
OPPO has donated 5,300 OPPO Band Styles to essential workers of Delhi Police and Greater Noida Authority. They have also pledged to donate 300 units to Cyberabad Police to help these pandemic warriors ensure they can track their health data such as heart rate, breathing efficiency, and blood oxygen saturation as they serve on the frontlines.
OPPO has also made efforts to highlight the real-world benefits of their cutting-edge technology. With the OPPO Band Style 30 Night Sleep Challenge,the smartphone stalwart aims to drive home the importance of Continuous Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) monitoring and better sleeping habits.
Users of the OPPO Band Style can participate by syncing their Android devices with OPPO’s HeyTap Health App while wearing the band to bed. By analysing their sleeping patterns for 30 days consecutively, the users will find valuable insights into their own bodily habits. Not only that, participants also have a chance to win a free Band Style! OPPO has decided to reward the first 500 participants with another OPPO Band Style in the form of an Amazon gift card. They may further pass it on as a present to their near and dear ones for their health and well-being.
Beyond just those affected by the dreaded virus, even those who haven’t contracted COVID can greatly benefit from these features, as fitness trackers have been seen to be critical in the early discovery of heart and lung ailments. While the pandemic has highlighted the importance of keeping vitals in check, oxygen saturation and heart rate sensing will continue to be of extreme value in all walks of life.
With a price tag of Rs. 2,799, OPPO’s Band Style is certainly the last straw that moves “fitness trackers” beyond the fitness-oriented crowds and makes them your staple lifestyle device. The device is available on Amazon and other leading online platforms. It’s time to get a one for yourself and #ActivateYourHealth like a Pro!
