There are two buttons on the bezel and there are two different designs for the buttons as well. You can either get a rubber strap or leather strap with the watch. vivo watch also gets 5ATM water resistance.

vivo Watch Price in Nepal and Availability

The smartwatch is priced at 1299 Yuan (~Rs.14,000) for both the 42mm and 46mm models. It will go on sale in China from September 28. Well, vivo Nepal hasn’t launched any accessories to date so it’s unlikely that we’ll see vivo watch in Nepal.

However, let’s hope vivo Nepal brings its accessories as the other brands have already begun. I am sure Vivo Nepal doesn’t want to lose on that part of the market.
