Realme Watch Unboxing and Review: A First Look at Its Top Features
Today, we are unboxing the new Realme Watch. After a slight delay, the device is finally here, and this article will cover everything you need to know about this smartwatch, from its features to our initial impressions based on the unboxing.
Unboxing the Realme Watch
The Realme Watch comes in a long, rectangular box that lists many of its key features on the back. Upon opening the box, you will find the watch itself, a magnetic charger, and the standard user documentation.
Design, Feel, and Customisable Straps
The first thing you’ll notice about the Realme Watch is that it is extremely lightweight. While it may not feel like a premium, high-end device, it has the look and feel of a very decent smartwatch. The setup process is straightforward, pairing easily with the Realme Link app where you can control many of its settings.
The quality of the food-grade strap is good, but the main advantage is its versatility. The straps are interchangeable, and you can purchase official replacements in various colours for ₹499. Furthermore, the watch is compatible with standard third-party aftermarket straps, giving you virtually unlimited options to change the look of your device over time.
The Highlight: A Large Display
The biggest highlight of the Realme Watch, as emphasized during its launch, is its large 1.4-inch screen. It is a standard IPS display, not an AMOLED panel, but its size is a major selling point. The display has a resolution of 320×320 and a pixel density of 323 PPI. This makes the screen quite bright and ensures it is clearly visible even when used outdoors in bright conditions.
Packed with Health and Fitness Features
The Realme Watch is equipped with a comprehensive suite of health and fitness trackers. Key features include:
- Continuous Heart Rate Monitor: The watch monitors your heart rate continuously, taking a reading every five minutes by default. You can adjust this interval within the companion app.
- SpO2 Monitor: A standout feature in this price range, the SpO2 monitor measures your blood oxygen levels, which can be a vital health indicator.
- IP68 Water Resistance: The watch has an IP68 certification, meaning it is water-resistant and can be safely submerged in up to 1.5 meters of water. This makes it suitable for activities like swimming.
- Activity and Sports Modes: The device includes 14 different activity trackers. Notably, it comes with a dedicated Cricket Mode, which is designed to accurately track your activity while playing the sport.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Battery performance is crucial for any smartwatch. The Realme Watch contains a 160mAh battery. With the continuous heart rate monitor enabled, the battery is rated to last for up to 7 days. If you turn off this feature and use the watch more moderately, you can extend the battery life to 10 days.
For connectivity, the device supports Bluetooth 5.0, which contributes to a very fast and easy pairing process with your smartphone.
Convenient Smart Features
Beyond health tracking, the Realme Watch offers several convenient smart features to control your phone remotely:
- Music Control: You can play, pause, and skip music on your smartphone directly from the watch.
- Remote Camera Shutter: The watch can be used as a remote shutter for your phone’s camera. You can set up your phone on a tripod and take a picture by simply tapping the watch screen.
- Find My Device: The watch also includes a “Find My Device” feature to help you locate your paired smartphone.
Endless Customisation with Watch Faces
To keep the look of your device fresh, the Realme Watch comes with 12 watch faces pre-installed by default. Realme has also announced that approximately 100 new watch faces will be made available soon through an Over-The-Air (OTA) update, giving users many more options for customisation.
Pricing and Final Thoughts
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the Realme Watch is its price of ₹3,999. At this price point, it offers very good value for money. While a slightly longer battery life would have been an improvement, there is not much else to complain about. The overall feel of the watch and the quality of its bright display are quite good. Please note that these are first impressions from initial use of the device.
