The RedMagic Watch was announced last month alongside the RedMagic 6 and RedMagic 6 Pro in China. The smartwatch is the first from the Nubia gaming smartphone brand and has now made its way out of China.

Launched for ¥599 (~$92) in its home country, the RedMagic Watch is priced at $99 in the US, £89 in the UK, and €99 in Europe. If you ask us, we will say these are very fair prices.

However, unlike in China where the watch is available in five colors including a slightly more expensive leather variant, the global version is only available in Black and Silver.

The RedMagic Watch has a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with two buttons on the right side. The watch supports 16 workout modes including football which has dynamic activity mapping that shows where you spend the most time on the field.

The smartwatch has blood oxygen monitoring and heart rate monitoring (Goodix sensor). It also has a 5 ATM Waterproof rating and a Sony low-power chip that brings GPS, QZSS, and BDS satellite positioning.

The RedMagic Watch works with the RedMagic Sports app which is available on the Play Store. The app will let you view your synced stats, change watch faces, set alarms, and more.

The smartwatch is already available for purchase on the RedMagic website.

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).

First, there was a smartphone wave, which was followed by TWS aka true wireless earphones. Now, we see smartwatches everywhere. Almost all companies, whether new or old, sell wearables. Hence, we are not surprised to learn that a gaming brand like RedMagic will be soon releasing its own smartwatch.

RedMagic, the gaming sub-brand of nubia Technology is known for gaming smartphones, related accessories, and even a gaming TWS called Cyberpods. Now, according to FCC, the brand may launch its first-ever smartwatch called RedMagic Watch with model number  SW2102.

The upcoming RedMagic Watch will sport a 1.39-inch circular AMOLED display with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. The live images and the sketches in the manual show that this smartwatch will come with two physical buttons on the right side.

Further, the entire casing of the watch seems to be made of plastic but the bezel could be metal. Whereas, the replaceable strap looks like cheap silicon material, going by its appearance. Also, the live images only showcase a black-colored model, however, there could be other variants as well.

Talking about sensors, this wearable will come with all the essential ones, such as a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and ambient light sensor. That’s not all, the watch will also feature in-built GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, QZSS).

Unfortunately, the manual does not list the sports modes and other features of this wearable. But it does mention that this 5ATM water-resistant smartwatch will be backed by a 420mAh battery that charges via an included magnetic charger at the rate of 2.5W.

Last but not least, the RedMagic Watch will use Bluetooth 5.0 LE to connect with smartphones running Android 4.4 and above via a companion app called RedMagic Sports.

As far as launch is concerned, we can expect RedMagic Watch to debut alongside the RedMagic 6 gaming smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888.
