Realme took the tech industry by storm back in May when it announced its first smartwatch dubbed Realme Watch. The tech giant has now taken things further with the unveiling of the Realme Watch S. The Watch S is a trimmed down version of the Realme Watch.

As far as the specs go, the Realme Watch S features a 1.3-inch circular touchscreen display with a resolution of 360×360-pixel. The display screen gets an extra layer of protection from a Corning Gorilla Glass which could be the same Gorilla Glass 3 utilised on the first Realme Watch. The watch equally features a photosensitive sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness depending on the lighting conditions.

Still taking of the build, the Watch S circular frame is made from aluminium alloy and there are two buttons on the right side. The watch also features Liquid Silicone straps which are available in four colours namely; Blue, Orange, Green, and Black.

Realme didn’t indicate the number of watch faces that are available on the Watch S but the Realme watch has 12 watch faces onboard. The company only stated that over 100 watch faces will be pushed to the Watch S in the coming months.

Further, the Realme Watch S features a PPG heart rate sensor as well as a SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen level monitoring. The smartwatch features 16 Sports Modes including new ones such as Stationary Bike and Rowing Machine mode. Other key features include Sleep Monitoring, Call Rejection, Smart Notifications, and Music and Camera Control.

The watch comes with an IP68 waterproof rating meaning it can withstand staying inside water having a depth of up to 1.5m. However, Realme says it can’t be taken into the shower or when going for a swim. You get a 390mAh battery onboard which is touted to last for up to 15 days.

As for the price, the Realme Watch S will be sold for PKR14,999 ($95) in Pakistan. It will go on sale from November 14 via offline retail stores. There is no indication when the smartwatch will be available in other markets.

Chinese smartphone brand realme forayed into the connected devices category last year to build an ecosystem of its own. So far, the company has launched a plethora of devices. However, it only offers a single smartwatch as of now though the brand teased more at IFA 2020 in September. Those two wearables were revealed to launch in Q4. Now, as promised realme has confirmed to debut one of them, realme Watch S on November 2 in Pakistan.

The upcoming realme Watch S was spotted on the websites of multiple certification bureaus exposing some of its specs after it was teased by the brand. Even the launch announcement teaser poster for Pakistan reveals certain features as well as design.

According to both certifications and teasers, the realme Watch S will come equipped with a 1.3-inch circular display and a brightness sensor. For those unaware, the original realme Watch features a squircle screen and lacks a brightness sensor. 

That said, the type of the panel in the newer model is a mystery at the moment. The older version comes with an LCD screen but since the realme Watch S screams premium (as per its design), it may sport an OLED panel.

The tweet by realme Pakistan says the new smartwatch will support 16 sports modes and feature multiple health monitors. The brand also confirms it to come with a heart-rate and a SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen monitoring. 

The latter is missing on the recently launched Mi Watch Revolve / Mi Watch aka Mi Watch Color. Therefore, Xiaomi launched a new edition of this smartwatch called Mi Watch Color Sports Edition in China with a SpO2 sensor.

Having said that, realme claims a maximum of 15-battery life for realme Watch S. Last but not least, it will bear the model number RMA207 and its straps will be available in black, orange, blue, and green color options.
