Realme Watch - Time to be smarter!
In terms of design, the Realme Watch is very similar to the Apple Watch. The square, touch-sensitive color display measures 1.4 inches diagonally and, according to Realme, is “the largest display in this price segment”. It is not yet known which price segment the company means by this. The watch strap will be available in 3 different colors and 2 designs. Notable features include 24/7 Health Assistant and Smart Connect, which enables intelligent notifications, music control and camera control.
Similar to the Realme Band, the Realme Watch is connected to the smartphone via the Realme Link app. All adjustments such as changing the watch face or the detailed view of the fitness data will probably only be available via the Link app. The Heath Assistant is a typical activity tracker with 14 sport modes including running, spinning, soccer, badminton and more. The smartwatch records the heart rate and blood oxygen content (SpO2) with the help of an optical sensor.
As for receiving notifications, the Realme Watch will be compatible with SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Instagram and more. It is not known to what extent it will be possible to reply to messages via the smartwatch. A telephony function is available. At least one of the render shots shows the incoming call that can be accepted, rejected or muted. It also remains to be seen whether this only refers to the control of calls or whether calls can be made via the smartwatch.
assessment
What Realme tells us in this announcement looks much more like a fancy fitness tracker with additional functions than a full-fledged smartwatch. Instead of Wear OS, we will most likely expect a proprietary operating system that is limited to the preinstalled apps.
