Design

The Realme watch design is pretty standard in the shape of a square. Both genders, female and males can wear it and enjoy its nice appearance. The watch is mostly made from plastic with an upper glass display protection layer.

Watch strap

The detachable strap is also included in the product package made from TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). Its are less flexible than a silicon strap, but we found it very comfortable.

The Good & Bad

Display

The Realme watch comes with a 1.4-inch display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. From our impression, the quality was good and sharp. We noticed a small lower bezel reserved for the Realme brand logo that is almost not noticeable to the naked eye that actually reduces the active visible display area of the watch.

Direct sunlight Conditions

One of the most important features important in having in any smartwatch is the ability to clearly read the watch display in sunny conditions under direct sunlight. To our surprise, the Realme display didn’t disappoint and was easy to view.

Wake screen on Wrist raise (Power On gesture)

A handy feature we liked about the Realme is the normal operation mode the device enters a low power saving/ standby mode. The watch is powered again when wrist rotating or hand raising is detected, so you don’t need to use the assistance of the watch on/off power button. This feature is particularly needed for various sports activities such as running or walking when you are busy focusing on your exercise and not capable of accessing the watch power button.

Charger

Another highlight of the Realme smartwatch worth mentioning is that it’s super easy to charge through a standard USB port. There are many Chinese smartwatch brands sold worldwide, and many of them are not very user-friendly to charge. Realme charger has a round shape with magnets that position the watch’s conductive contact points precisely with the charger unit. No complicated charging solution here, a simple design that works well!

The binding of the smartwatch to the phone is done in few simple steps:

  • Step #1: Power the Realme smartwatch.
  • Step #2: Scan the First QR code to download the Realme Link App.
  • Step #3: Scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices inside the Realme Link App.
  • Step #4: Scan the Second QR Inside the Realme Link App for binding.

Software

The ‘Realme Link mobile app is an IoT management platform where you can easily manage and control your smart devices. It reminds Xiaomi ‘Mi Home’ App but with fewer features and devices.

Honestly speaking, we excepted more value and innovation from a $50-$60 smartwatch. The watch only supports Android OS, but we expect iOS support to launch in the near future. The mobile app UI looked clean and well organized. Realme Team added the most basic popular features, plus 14 sports modes to choose from. The most needed functions that can be found in this watch are the call reminder, watch face replacement, notifications, Get up Reminder, water drinking reminder, SpO2 (oxygen saturation), and HR monitoring.

In our tests, the 24-hour HR monitoring produced good results in measuring heart rate. The App supports real-time continuous measuring during ‘Workout‘ mode or test on-demand. You can also pick specific time intervals during the day. For example, you can measure your heart rate every 5 min or even longer periods of time every 30 min.

Verdict

The Realme is above decent health/sports watch with good software. The price-value ratio is not the most amazing compared to other famous brands such as Xiaomi’s Amazfit series sold in the same price range packed with more advanced features. Bottom line, If you liked the product and decided to buy it, we strongly recommend applying a discount coupon to get a lower price.


Price and Availability

The Realme smartwatch is currently on sale at Banggood’s official store. We advise you to make use of a discount coupon during the checkout process.

Accessibility Statement

  • www.androidpimp.com
  • August 27, 2025

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

  1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

    These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

  2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

  1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
  3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
  6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
  7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
