Realme at an event in China today unveiled
the X50 Pro Player Edition along with Buds Q and Buds Air Neo TWS earphones and
a new power bank. But Realme also had an event in India, where it announced its
first smart TV and first smartwatch, dubbed Realme TV and Realme Watch,
respectively.
The Realme Watch is the second wearable
device from Realme after the Realme Band that was unveiled in March. The smartwatch
is built around a 1.4" color touchscreen of 320x320 pixel resolution,
which is protected by a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The screen has a pixel
density of 323 ppi and 380 nits brightness with 10 levels of adjustment.
The Realme Watch comes with 12 watch
faces, with the default watch face displaying time, date, day, weather, step
count, heart rate and burned calories. You can select your favorite watch face
from the Realme Link app and Realme says it will add 100 new watch faces
through a future OTA.
Like the Realme Band, the Realme Watch
also features 24x7 heart rate monitoring, but this time the PPG sensor to
measure heart rate is supplied by Goodix and you get an SpO2 monitor as well,
which measures the blood oxygen level. The smartwatch also comes with 14 Sports
Modes, with Aerobic Capacity, Badminton, Treadmill, Elliptical and Table Tennis
being the new ones introduced by Realme.
Another set of new features are Camera
Control and Music Control. The former lets you use the smartwatch as a camera shutter
button, while the latter allows you to play/pause music, change tracks and
adjust the volume.
As a part of its AIoT strategy, Realme is
keeping the Realme Watch at the center of its AIoT system, and with a future
OTA you'll be able to link multiple AIoT devices with the Realme Watch without
having to open the smartphone. Other highlights of the Realme Watch include
Smart Notifications, IP68 dust and water resistance, sedentary reminder, drink
reminder, sleep monitor, and meditation relaxing.
Fueling the entire package is a 160 mAh
battery, which Realme claims can offer seven days of autonomy with 24x7 heart
rate monitoring turned on, and nine days without it. The Realme Watch has two
strap designs - Classic Strap and Fashion Strap. The former will arrive in a
single Black color, while the latter will be offered in Red, Blue and Green
shades.
The Realme Watch is priced at INR 3,999
(US$ 53/€ 48) and it will go on sale in India starting June 5 through the company's
official Indian site and Flipkart. It will also be sold through offline stores
later on. The smartwatch will come with the regular black strap out of the box
and the colorful Fashion Straps will be sold separately later at INR 499
(US$ 7/€ 6).
