Coming to the key highlight of the Watch S5, which are the expansive health and fitness tracking modes and monitoring features, it supports over 110 sports modes, including running courses, stretching guides, aerobic training effect, recovery duration, and sports rankings. All the sensors on the watch work in tandem to track daily steps, calories burned, distance covered, and offer standing reminders.
What’s more, the Watch S5 integrates GPS tracking, powered by five global satellite navigation systems, to keep tabs on the routes you’ve taken during your walks or runs. As for the advanced health monitoring features, it supports heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), sleep, stress, and women’s health tracking, and even noise monitoring. It’s good to see Realme bundling several key tracking features at this price point, which should support users’ well-being.
Some of the smart and connectivity features include Bluetooth calling for directly making calls from the watch, as it also packs a dedicated speaker for sound output, along with a microphone. Taking advantage of the AMOLED panel, the Realme Watch S5 also features Always On Display (AOD) with multiple vibrant watch faces. Boasting a 460mAh battery, Realme claims the smartwatch can last up to 16 days in standard mode and 20 days with the light smart mode enabled.
With magnetic charging support, the watch takes around 2.5 hours for a full charge. For durability, it features 5ATM water resistance, making it suitable for water exposure, workouts, and regular use.
Coming at Rs 7,999, the Realme Watch S5 competes directly with the recently launched CMF Watch 3 Pro by Nothing, which also gets a 1.43-inch round AMOLED display. While we praised the Watch 3 Pro for its extensive lineup of features in our review, it’ll be worth seeing how the Realme Watch S5 stacks up against it since it also ges similar set of features, such as Bluetooth calling, multiple sports modes, and more.
