Realme has expanded its wearable lineup in India with the launch of the Realme Watch 5, a new smartwatch that brings independent GPS, a larger AMOLED display, and several upgraded features. The wearable was unveiled alongside the Realme P4x 5G smartphone as part of the company’s newest AIoT ecosystem push. In a significant step toward local manufacturing, the Watch 5 is being produced in India through Realme’s partnership with Optiemus Electronics, reflecting the brand’s broader plan to eventually shift its entire AIoT production to domestic facilities.
Pricing and Availability
The Realme Watch 5 is priced at Rs. 4,499, but early buyers can avail an introductory discount of Rs. 500, bringing the effective price down to Rs. 3,999. The smartwatch will go on sale starting December 10 at 12pm (noon) IST. It will be available via the Realme India website, Flipkart, and major offline retail stores. Buyers can choose from four color variants: Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, Mint Blue, and Vibrant Orange.
Display and Design
The smartwatch features a 1.97-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 390 × 450 pixels, offering smooth visuals with its 60Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits of peak brightness. It comes with a metallic unibody build, a functional aluminum-alloy crown, and a 2D flat glass on top. Realme has also introduced a new 3D-Wave strap, adding to the watch’s visual appeal, along with honeycomb-patterned speaker holes for improved sound output.
Health Features and Connectivity
The Realme Watch 5 is packed with connectivity and fitness-focused features. It supports Bluetooth calling, NFC, and more than 300 customizable watch faces. Independent GPS powered by five GNSS systems ensures accurate location tracking, and the watch includes 108 sports modes to cater to a wide range of workouts. All data syncs seamlessly with the Realme Link app for detailed tracking and analysis.
For health monitoring, the device offers continuous heart rate tracking, SpO2 monitoring, stress tracking, sleep analysis, and even menstrual cycle tracking. Powering all of this is a battery that can last up to 16 days on normal use, or up to 20 days in Light Mode. The smartwatch is also IP68 certified, providing protection against dust and water.
