Realme ventured into wearable products with the launch of Realme Band in early March. The fitness band is now receiving its first-ever major firmware update. The update, which is being currently rolled out to the users brings a number of features that should have been present at the launch.
The new update for Realme Band bumps up the firmware to v6.0. To update the fitness tracker, users will have to first install the latest version of the Realme Link app from the Google Play Store.
The firmware v6.0 for Realme Band finally adds ‘Find Phone’, ‘Restart’ and ‘Weather’ functionalities. These three features are common on all wearables and should have been present on Realme Band since its launch. Better late than never, they are here now, however, it is a nightmare to use them
After the installation of the new firmware, the Realme Link app will allow users to enable weather on the Realme Band. Once it is set up, users will have to tap ‘seven times’ on the tracker’s capacitive button to access current weather and tap ‘two more times’ to see the report for the next two days. This is ridiculous and it is why wearables with touch input are better in terms of user experience.
Another nitpick is though the latest update brings restart option to the Realme Band, it works only when the tracker is charging (seriously?). Anyway, the update also brings improvements in UI, heart rate monitoring, data synchronization, and message display time.
