In other words, the eSIM variant will deliver worse battery life than its Bluetooth counterpart. Specifically, the latter’s battery life stretches to 33 days in power-saving mode but drops to 17 days in normal use and 14 days with its always-on display (AoD) activated. By contrast, the eSIM variant only achieves 8 days of battery life when its LTE modem is in use.
Regardless, both variants support sleep and cycle tracking with microphones and speakers installed to handle calls without needing to pick up a paired smartphone. The Vivo Watch GT 2 starts at CNY 499 (~$70) and rises to CNY 699 (~$98) for its eSIM option. Vivo has not commented on global availability though, unlike the X300 series that also launched today.
