Realme unveils a round smartwatch with a distinctive flat frame and prominent buttons, housing a 1.43-inch AMOLED display. At 11.8 millimeters thick and 32 grams, the device claims 5 ATM water resistance, meaning it can be worn while swimming. The blend of style and sport-oriented features aims to attract users who want both daily wearability and fitness tracking in one package.
Display and Battery
The round AMOLED panel peaks at 1,500 nits brightness and runs at 60 Hz. If the always-on display is enabled, the screen stays on continuously, but battery life drops from about 16 days to roughly five days. A night vision mode is included, rendering content in red for low-light readability, and one side button directly summons Google Gemini for on-wrist chatbot interactions.
Health and Fitness Tracking
The Realme Watch S5 includes heart rate and SpO2 sensors, plus monitoring for sleep, stress, the female cycle, and 110 sports modes. An integrated GPS helps track distance during runs or rides. However, unlike some pricier rivals, it lacks an ECG sensor and a skin temperature sensor, and there is no NFC for contactless payments.
Release Details
In terms of availability, Realme plans a launch in India first, with a price of INR 7,999 (about $84). No official international release date has been announced yet, and it’s noted that the older rectangular Realme Watch 5 has seen international distribution as well.
