Vivo Unveils Watch 6 and Buds Clip as Part of X500 Series
Vivo announced via Weibo the addition of two new devices to its X500 lineup: the Vivo Watch 6 smartwatch and the Vivo Buds Clip earphones, both slated for official unveiling on September 21 2026.
Watch specifications
The Watch 6 features a slim, lightweight body protected by sapphire glass, enhancing scratch resistance. Vivo highlighted upgrades aimed at athletes, especially for running and cycling modes. Unconfirmed reports from Chinese retailers suggest a 43 mm case diameter, though the company has not verified this figure.
Earphone specifications
Vivo Buds Clip are open‑type earbuds that clip to the side of the ear, reminiscent of Huawei’s FreeClip series. Their glossy surface resembles mother‑of‑pearl, shifting color with light angle. Vivo has yet to disclose sound quality, battery life, or pricing, emphasizing aesthetic appeal instead.
Market context
User reactions to the teasers indicate that the premium design may signal a shift from purely sport‑oriented wearables toward more stylish accessories. Yet concerns linger that a focus on looks could drive up prices, and some consumers may dislike the ear‑clip mounting method.
The devices will be officially presented at the X500 event in September, expected to broaden Vivo’s wearable portfolio by marrying performance with luxury.
