Last month, Nubia’s RedMagic announced its first smartwatch. The smartwatch which is sold as the RedMagic Watch and is exclusive to China, for now, has begun receiving an update that brings a dark mode to one of its watch faces.
According to a Weibo post by the official RedMagic account, the latest update to the RedMagic Sports app, the smartwatch’s companion app, lets you choose a particular watch face (Astronaut) that automatically switches from a white background (light mode) to a black background (dark mode) once it is 6 PM.
While this seems to be the only watch face to have this feature, it is pretty neat nonetheless.
The RedMagic Watch is a ¥599 (~$91) smartwatch with a 1.39-inch 454 x 454 AMOLED display and two physical buttons on the right side for controlling the watch. The watch has support for 16 sports modes including football which adds a heat map that shows the wearer’s most active positions on the pitch.
There is a Sony GNSS receiver that adds support for GPS, QZSS, and Beidou. The health sensor adds support for 24-hour heart rate measurement and blood oxygen level detection. The RedMagic Watch has a battery life of 15 days in typical usage mode but it can go up to 23 days in basic watch mode or drop to 50 hours with GPS turned on.
The smartwatch comes in different colored silicone straps and is also available in leather options that cost ¥100 more (~$15).
