- Technical Specifications – Realme Watch S
A Realme is a Chinese brand that has just arrived in Spain. With prices in the range of intermediate products, it lands in our country with four products: smartphones Realm 7 e Realme 7 Pro, the wireless headset Realme buds q and smartwatch realme watch s, protagonist of this matter.
O realme watch s brings a certainly competitive price of R$699,00, low compared to other smartwatches. It still has a long battery life, blood oxygen level monitoring, heart rate among other functions.
Is the cost-effectiveness of the new Chinese smart watch worth your attention? We tested it for a few days and told you everything you need to know. Check out the full review below. Techlifers sobre or realme watch s.
Design
Right off the bat, the presentation shows the good taste of Realme. The product is printed on the yolk yellow box in a minimalist way, with little information, introducing us to the brand's visual identity.
The watch has an aluminum alloy body and a silicone strap. The bracelet itself is quite simple, but it doesn't make wearing the SmartWatch be a nuisance — very important so that you can use the sleep monitoring function without stress. A detail to note is that the provision of passers-by, however, could be a little bigger, especially considering people with thin wrists.
The watch case measures 47 mm. THE Realme seeks to emulate the display of a conventional watch with the common markers, however, the edge is a little thick, giving the feeling that the screen is small.
It is important to say that the realme watch s It has an IP68 protection certificate — completely sealed against dust and resistant to a dive of up to 3 meters deep — which, in practice, makes avoiding too wet the device ideal. The aluminum alloy makes it less resistant than models made with stainless steel.
There are two buttons on the left side of the watch: the first, which takes you to the main menu, and the second, which takes you to the training modes menu.
O realme watch s It is only available in black color.
Phone and Interface
One point that leaves something to be desired — as much as it helps to justify the final price of the product — is the screen. THE realme watch s It has a TFT LCD screen that quickly shows the lack of power in colors. Combining the not-so-beautiful colors and definition with a somewhat small screen (due to the edges already mentioned), the feeling that remains is that the watch fails to have such a precious finish.
The brightness has a satisfactory intensity and can be adjusted manually or leaving the automatic mode on. For the most clumsy on duty, the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which protects it from scratches.
The interface has simple icons with solid colors that don't draw much attention, due to the lack of texture and colors.
One aspect that catches the eye is the personalization of the watch face. By default, it has a few options — which are interesting — but by connecting to the realmeLink app, many more watch faces can be chosen and there is even the option to choose any photo you want from your own gallery.
Features
After looking at some aspects that justify the watch's competitive price, let's talk about where it truly shines.
The smartwatch brings precision when accompanying you in physical activities, featuring 16 sports modalities: “Outdoor running”, “Walking”, “Indoor running”, “Outdoor cycling”, “Aerobic capacity”, “Bodybuilding”, “Soccer”, “Basketball”, “Table Tennis”, “Badminton”, “Indoor Cycling”, “Elliptical”, “Yoga”, “Stationary Bicycle”, “Paddle” and “Cricket”.
It does not support water sports, precisely because IP68 protection is not recommended for intense activities in the water.
The aspects measured by SmartWatch during training will vary according to the activity selected. Below, images exemplify the moments of an “Outdoor Walk” made with the realme watch s.
Heart rate is the key point to indicate when you are in training. Only when reaching 100 beats per minute does the watch consider that the exercise has started and the “green phase” is activated. After intensifying the pace reaching 109 bpm, the exercise goes into the “lime green phase”. Reaching 120 bpm, the “yellow phase” is reached. The ideal of the activity is to stay between these two phases. Reaching the “orange phase” (around 140 bpm) should be understood as a warning to go a little lighter.
After completing the walk, the information is saved on the watch and in the app, so you can see in detail the calories lost, the pace of your walk, the route, the heart rate during the activity, among other interesting information.
As it does not have a GPS, the realme watch s does not record the course of your activities naturally, so to have the record of the route, it is necessary to pair it with your smartphone, and it pulls the information from it.
A great highlight is being a watch in a good price range with the blood oxygen sensor. Just activate and remain as static as possible for the measurement to give you an accurate result.
To sleep, the watch constantly takes measurements and gives you, the next day, a report of your night's sleep. In the app you will find all the precise details of the moments you were in each stage of sleep (light sleep, deep sleep and REM).
The heart rate sensor remains active at all times and you can set whether your measurements will be taken every 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
It also has several functions such as camera shutter control (to take pictures without being close to your smartphone), find your smartphone (if they are paired via Bluetooth), media control, meditation conductor and timer.
Battery
O realme watch s It has 390 mAh battery which, according to the manufacturer, provides 15 days of battery life. This statement will be true only if you make moderate use of the watch.
Normal use, always connecting it to your smartphone to receive notifications, activate the GPS when exercising, keep the screen automatically lit, will guarantee you a full week (or a little more) of battery life, which is an excellent result. .
A Realme sends an induction charger that fits under the smartwatch and delivers from 0 to 100% in 2 hours, a long time, considering that, after charging, you can forget about the charger for at least the next week. It doesn't come with a font, however, so you'll need to use one you own (or connect it directly to your computer).
Conclusion
Integrating the products that mark the arrival of Realme in Spain, the realme watch s delivers an extremely satisfactory and competitive cost-benefit ratio. It is inevitable to miss a higher quality screen and structure, in addition to other points that limit it, but it is indisputable that the Realme managed to create a SmartWatch complete with a suggested price of R$699,00.
The health functions work very well and for those who have a more limited budget, you will certainly find a device full of interesting functions that will help when taking care of your health.
The expectation now is to see the potential of Realme to deliver products one or two steps up.
