Realme fans in India have reasons to rejoice, the company has come up with its first smartwatch offering which has simply been named the Realme Watch. Also, as it is with its smartphones, the biggest USP with the Realme Watch is its price which is set at Rs. 3,999.

Price apart, the Realme Watch comes with a heart rate monitor thanks to the PPG sensor that it comes integrated with. The smartwatch will also warn you during specific conditions, such as when the heart rate is deviating significantly from the normal range. Plus, there is a SpO2 monitor as well that will keep track of your blood oxygen levels.

Powering the phone is a 160 mAh battery which the company claims is good for a week of usage. If you want more, switch the heart rate monitor off and the watch will last 9 days on a single charge, or 20 days with the Power Saving Mode turned on.

Also, as with most other smart wearable devices, the Realme Watch will show notifications that arrive on the phone it is paired with. You also get to trigger the shutter of your smartphone’s camera with the Realme Watch, besides unlocking the phone as well.
