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.
