Wear OS and Oppo Watch

I caught myself going down the rabbit hole and found it was time for a post. Around this time last year I bought an Android watch. I bought it purely for the pedometer functions. I've been wearing a Timex Ironman since I enlisted eons ago, so I needed a watch that was water resistant and I could wear 24/7. I found that there were several cheap options out there, and I bought one. It isn't anything special, but I didn't need anything special. I have missed some of the functions I've been used to for so many years though. Like being able to track seconds when I use the stopwatch or timer. And the watch beeping when the timer ends instead of vibrating. 

I've already lost what brought me back to that train of thought today, but I think what happened was I came across the Wear OS. I thought it was new, but apparently it has been around for a decade. Anyway, I figured that if there was a watch that actually had a Google OS, then it might be better than what I have right now, so I went looking for some. I wandered around, sputtering a bit on Google and Amazon, then I found a list on Wikipedia, which led me to the Oppo watch, which looks quite promising. The one that I was looking at was released several years ago, but it still seems pretty nice, so it's probably worth following up on.
