Design And Build Quality
Let’s dive into the design of the Oraimo Watch 3 Lite. This watch features a design similar to its predecessors. It is encased in a matte finish, making it attractive and sleek. The smartwatch is available in a single color: black. Oraimo should consider offering smartwatches in different color options to better cater to buyers’ preferences. However, the black color looks great, matching any outfit you wear.
The watch has a rectangular face, a display size of 1.69 inches, and dimensions of 43.3 * 35.2 * 10mm. In terms of size, it weighs 35.5g, making it one of the lightest watches available.

For a budget-friendly watch, it boasts an impressive build, made from durable plastic material.
The watch straps, made from silica gel, are skin-friendly and enhance comfort. The power button is located on the side, while underneath the watch is the sensor that powers both health and sports features. Additionally, it features a magnetic charging port and various certifications. Lastly, the watch is IP68 waterproof certified, capable of withstanding water splashes and sweat, providing peace of mind in various conditions.

Oraimo Watch 3 Lite Display Quality
Now, onto the visible part of the watch: its display. The Oraimo Watch 3 Lite boasts a 1.69” TFT display. While it lacks the AMOLED display found in the Oraimo Watch E series, the display quality is still satisfactory. It features a slim bezel, providing more screen real estate and room for operating the watch.
The display delivers vibrant colors and vivid details, ensuring clear visibility even under direct sunlight, thanks to its 240*280 resolution and brightness level of 500 nits. Operating the watch is smooth, with the screen responding promptly to touch, a feature not commonly found in budget watches. Furthermore, Oraimo offers a wide selection of watch faces, with over 150 available for the Watch 3 Lite. Users can also customize their watch faces using the accompanying app.
Connectivity and Performance
The Watch 3 Lite is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0, ensuring efficient pairing with smartphones and a stable connection. Whether you’re using an Android or iPhone device, the Watch 3 Lite is compatible with both. It comes with key apps to enhance productivity, including an alarm app, remote camera control, reminders, weather updates, and a “Find My Phone” feature to locate misplaced smartphones.
Health and Sport Modes
Beyond its fashionable design, the Watch 3 Lite serves as a health coach, offering tools to track various health metrics. It can monitor heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep quality, stress levels, and more. Users can view their health data through the Oraimo Health app on their smartphones. While the watch provides general health readings, it may not be as precise as dedicated medical equipment. It also features different sports modes to track various workouts, such as cycling, walking, yoga, and running. However, it’s worth noting that the Watch 3 Lite offers a limited number of sports modes compared to other Oraimo watches, with only 24 available.
Oraimo Watch 3 Lite Battery Performance
Battery life is a crucial factor for smartwatch buyers, and the Watch 3 Lite features a 200mAh battery capacity. While Oraimo claims a week of battery life, real-life usage may vary due to factors like brightness settings and sensor usage. Typically, users can expect around three days of battery life with regular usage. Recharging the watch using the magnetic charger takes approximately two hours, lacking the fast charging feature found in the Watch 3 Pro.
