iQOO is gearing up to launch its latest wearable, the iQOO Watch 5, later this month in China. The company has started teasing the smartwatch on Chinese social media, highlighting several upgrades including new AI features, an e-sports mode, and long battery life.
The iQOO Watch 5 will be the first smartwatch to run on BlueOS 2.5, Vivo’s in-house operating system. One of the standout additions is the inclusion of “Blue Heart Xiao V x DeepSeek,” an AI-powered assistant that activates via raise-to-wake. It can handle voice commands, control smartwatch features, and even function as a phone assistant—recording calls and summarizing them automatically. The assistant also offers proactive reminders related to travel, medication, and daily work schedules.
Battery life appears to be a strong suit of the Watch 5. iQOO claims it can last up to 22 days in Bluetooth mode and around 14 days when used with an eSIM, giving it a significant edge over many wearables in the same segment.
The watch’s design includes a round dial with a rotating crown and a side-mounted button. Strap options include fluoroelastomer and woven fabric variants. The Watch 5 had already made a public appearance at the King Pro League 2025 Spring Finals, a major esports tournament for Honor of Kings. There, iQOO demonstrated its new “e-sports mode,” capable of monitoring players’ heart rate, calorie burn, and more during gameplay. It also supports data sharing and can be used to initiate game countdowns—further blending health tracking with gaming functionality.
The iQOO Watch 5 is expected to launch in China on May 20. While the company has not shared any international availability details, its AI-driven features and extended battery life may attract attention beyond the Chinese market.
