Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Bluetooth phone calls require a nearby smartphone: there is no LTE/eSIM. Functions and app choice are more limited than on watches with Wear OS and Google Play.
The watch needs its own charging cable. Pack it when travelling, because a phone’s USB-C cable cannot connect directly to the watch.
The advertised 20 days apply to light-smart mode: realme quotes 16 days for standard use and up to five with Always-on Display. Voice replies to messages are limited to WhatsApp; other smart features depend on region and app availability.
How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?
Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
