After releasing a handful of upper-midrange and premium devices, such as the Vivo V80 and X Fold 6, at its NEXT 2026 event in early October, Vivo is preparing to release another slew of devices in India soon. As part of the launch, while the X500 series will get most of the spotlight, the company is set to enter the Indian smartwatch space with the release of the Vivo Watch GT 2. With the release approaching, 91mobiles has learned from industry sources that the watch will offer up to 25 days of battery life on a single charge.

Vivo Watch GT 2 battery endurance details revealed
The Vivo Watch GT 2 is already available in China for CNY 499 (approx. Rs 7,000). If it launches at a similar price point here in India, it could rival popular options in the segment, such as the Realme Watch S5 (review) and CMF Watch 3 Pro (review).
Now, coming to the battery details, our industry source claims the Watch GT 2 can last for up to 25 days on a full charge. Whether these figures are based on a particular usage scenario, such as with Always On Display (AOD) toggled or an optimised power-saving mode, is currently unknown. However, putting this into perspective with other watches, the Realme Watch S5 is claimed to offer up to 20 days of battery life, while the CMF Watch 3 Pro can last 13 days.
This puts the Vivo Watch GT 2 way ahead of the competition, potentially giving users peace of mind that they can go weeks without having to plug it in. Looking at the hardware, it’s understandable why the Vivo Watch GT 2 can deliver longer battery life than others. That’s because the Vivo Watch features a generous 695mAh battery, at least on the Chinese variant, while the Realme Watch S5 and CMF Watch 3 Pro carry 460mAh and 350mAh batteries, respectively.
However, it’s also worth noting that the Vivo Watch GT 2’s Chinese variant is promised 33 days of battery life with Bluetooth enabled, per the specifications page. Whether this means the Indian variant will have a smaller battery or includes India-specific features that use more power, only time will tell.
How will the Vivo Watch GT 2 fit into Vivo’s portfolio?
With Vivo introducing a smartwatch for the first time, it’ll be interesting to see how it fits into the company’s ecosystem of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and software-based systems like Office Kit. Since the Chinese variant runs on Vivo’s proprietary smartwatch and smart-device software, Blue River Operating System 3.0, it’s almost certain the Watch GT 2 won’t run Wear OS in India.
Despite that, Blue River Operating System shares several design elements and productivity features with OriginOS 7, such as Atomic Island, which displays real-time information from food or delivery tracking apps, timers, and music controls in a dynamic pill. Similarly, it is also optimised for the not-so-bleeding-edge watch hardware for enhanced rendering, faster app switching, and responsive touch controls.
As part of the software, the Watch GT 2 could offer nifty features such as viewing phone notifications, access to numerous sports modes, heart rate, sleep, and multiple health-metric tracking options, camera control, and tons of watch faces to display on its 2.07-inch AMOLED display.
