Realme Watch announced: 1.4″ color touchscreen, SpO2 monitor, and 9-day battery life
Realme had a big day today. The company at an event in China unveiled the X50 Pro Player Edition along with Buds Q and Buds Air Neo TWS earphones and new power banks. But Realme also had an event in India, where the Chinese phone maker announced its first 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 320×320 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.

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.

Other highlights of the Realme Watch include Smart Notifications, IP68 dust and water resistance, sedentary reminder, drink reminder, sleep monitor, and meditation relaxing.
