Realme’s “1 + 5 + T” strategy is to focus on (1) smartphones, (5) AIoT categories (watches, headsets and other smart products) and (T) for TechLife. Today the company launched several products in the second category “5” – a new watch, two Bluetooth headsets – as well as a monitor.
Realme Watch 3
The Realme Watch 3 sits somewhere between a Watch 2 sequel and a cheaper Watch 2 Pro. One of the major updates is the screen size, which has grown to 1.8 inches, a hair larger than that of the 2 Pro (they have pretty much the same aspect ratio).
To keep size in check, Realme reduced the bezels, so the screen-to-body ratio went from 50% on the Watch 2 to 67.5% on the Watch 3. Note that the resolution has been very successful – it’s only 240 x 286px, even lower than the Watch 2’s 320 x 320px (the Watch 2 Pro’s display is 320 x 385px). Furthermore, the brightness dropped to 500 nits, compared to the previous 600 nits.
Another big change is that the Watch 3 now offers Bluetooth calling, something that was previously exclusive to the Pro. You can dial from your wrist and use the built-in speaker and microphone. To ensure good audio quality, Realme powers the speaker with a Smart PA and uses a dual-mode Bluetooth 5.3 chip, as well as internal AI-based noise reduction algorithms.
Realme Watch 3 supports over 110 sports modes. Using its built-in sensors – heart rate and SpO2 tracker – it can calculate recovery time, VO2 Max and more. It also monitors heart rate and blood oxygen 24/7, even sleep and stress monitoring enabled (the latter is based on heart rate variability).
Realme Watch 3 has advanced 24/7 health monitoring features
The large display is used to view notifications, including IM messages, which can include 50 common emojis. There are also over 100 watch faces that you can use to customize your look.
The body of the watch is made of polycarbonate and has a metallic coating. As before, the watch is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance, although Realme warns it is not suitable for swimming or showering. The watch measures 45 x 37 x 11.5mm and weighs 40g without the strap, the default silicone straps weigh 14g.
The watch has a 340mAh battery, enough for 7 days of typical operation. This is a downgrade from the Watch 2, which advertised 12 days of endurance (with a 315mAh battery). A full charge takes 2.5 hours.
The Realme Watch 3 is available in black and gray
The Realme Watch 3 will go on sale on Realme’s online store, Flipkart and other retailers on August 2nd at noon. The recommended price is ₹ 3,500 ($ 44 / € 43), but the first sale will have a discount of ₹ 500. The Watch 2 also launched with a recommended price of ₹ 3,500.
