Smartwatches have transitioned from being fitness trackers and have become lifestyle accessories. The Apple Watch is leading in this segment of smartwatches, but spending a fortune on something like a smartwatch is not something that all can afford. That is where the Realme Watch 5 comes into action with its promises of delivering something with a rich look and innovative functionality at a budget-friendly price. Does this smartwatch with a reasonable price give a feel of an Apple Watch?
Design and Build: Remarkably Premium
On first look, the Realme Watch 5 appears to be much more costly than it is. The rectangular face, thin edges, and metallic finish of the device ooze quality, thereby directly making one remember high-end smartwatches as soon as they set their eyes on it. The crown featured on the side of the device is not only aesthetically pleasing but also very convenient.
It is light and comfortable enough that it can be worn all day at work, during an exercise routine, and even at night while sleeping. You can change from sporty, simple, and traditional designs with an array of customizable watch faces.
Display: Big, Bright, and Beautiful
One of the most exciting features of Realme Watch 5 is definitely the large display with an AMOLED display panel. The display is very sharp with rich colors and blacks that are deeper than other watches out there. This is definitely a welcome addition to a community of watches found at this price point.
Touch feedback is smooth, and navigating through the menu is intuitive even for new users of smart watches.
Health & Fitness Features: Packed With Essentials
The Realme Watch 5 also emphasizes fitness and health features. Functions of this device include heart rate tracking 24/7, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂) tracking, sleep tracking, stress tracking, as well as support for more than 100 fitness exercise modes. There are fitness modes for walking, running, yoga, cycling, and gym workouts.
The fact that it comes with built-in GPS is simply impressive, especially considering its current price point, and will be very handy to have when tracking outdoor activities.
Smart Features: More than a Fitness Band
Apart from health-related features, Realme Watch 5 is packed with great smart functions. Bluetooth Calling allows you to either answer or reject calls from your wrist, which is very handy while you are working out or driving. Other functions include notification reminders, music controls, weather updates, alarms, and reminders.
Even if the application infrastructure isn’t that sophisticated compared to high-end smartwatches, it does provide everything that a common user would actually need.
Battery Life: An Unmatched Strength
Battery life is an area where Realme Watch 5 completely edges out the competition from premium brands. Since most premium smartwatches need to be charged every day, Realme Watch 5 crosses the one-week mark quite comfortably when it comes to battery life, beating most premium smartwatches available today.
Durability: Built for Everyday Use
It is water and dust-resistant; thus, this smartwatch can survive any workout or daily activity involving sweat or water. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Final Verdict
Realme Watch 5 thereby satisfies consumers’ need for a quality smartwatch at the best price possible. In this respect, it may not be as sophisticated as the Apple Watch when it comes to apps but hits all the right marks when it comes to design, screen quality, health monitoring, calling functions, and battery life.
