Verdict

The Realme Watch 2 is a lightweight budget smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch IPS LCD touchscreen with 320x320 resolution and a high peak brightness of 600 nits for outdoor visibility. Housed in a polycarbonate body with an IP68 water resistance rating, it offers comprehensive health tracking including 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO2 blood oxygen measurements, and sleep analysis, alongside support for 90 sports modes. Main pros include its impressive battery life of up to 12 days, its comfortable 22mm interchangeable straps, and the ability to control Realme AIoT devices directly from the wrist. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS (requiring a phone for route tracking), the absence of an AMOLED display, and limited notification interactivity as users cannot reply to messages or calls.

RealMe Watch 2 Review - The Geeky Juans

The Realme Watch 2 is identified as a simple, stylish, and durable budget smartwatch priced at Php 3,990, featuring a 1.4-inch responsive touchscreen and IP68 water resistance. Key pros highlighted include its sturdy build and solid performance for daily use, while a notable con is the lack of built-in GPS, which requires a connected phone for tracking. Functioning as a comprehensive fitness tracker with 90 sports modes and essential health sensors like blood oxygen and heart rate monitors, the watch offers an impressive 12-day battery life. However, users can only have 10 sports modes active on the watch at once, requiring the Realme Link app to switch them, serving as a limitation in functionality. Through the app, the device provides AIoT functionality, including camera shutter and music control, offering a user-friendly experience for, the reviewer notes, budget-conscious consumers. The interface is described as clean, though the LCD panel lacks an always-on display.

While it now supports both Android and iOS, the device is limited by an all-plastic, large-bezel design and a lack of built-in GPS, relying instead on a less accurate connected phone GPS.

Realme Watch 2 Review - Black - Smartwatch

The Realme Watch 2 is a budget-friendly, 38g wearable featuring a significantly improved 1.4-inch IPS LCD screen with 600 nits brightness, making it highly visible outdoors. While its plastic design is lightweight and comfortable for 24/7 wear, users can expect a solid 9 to 12 days of battery life. The device supports 90 sports modes, including continuous heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, and allows for control of Realme AIoT devices. Despite these upgrades, the smartwatch lacks a built-in GPS, requiring a connected smartphone for accurate route tracking. Other limitations include the inability to reply to notifications directly, the removal of REM sleep tracking, and the absence of an AMOLED panel. The device maintains a solid IP68 rating, though it is not recommended for swimming. Overall, the watch acts as a functional fitness tracker and smart companion for the price, boasting better display and battery life over its predecessor. It is ideal for users seeking basic smart features and health tracking without paying for a premium device. Read a full review at TechRadar.

Review: We test the Realme Watch 2 smartwatch

The Realme Watch 2 is an entry-level smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch touchscreen, a 38-gram lightweight design, and IP68 water resistance, though it has thick bezels and a basic, plastic construction. It provides 90 sports modes, continuous heart rate monitoring, and SpO2 tracking, with a notable battery life of up to 12 days. While the Realme Link app offers an intuitive user experience and reliable activity tracking, the watch lacks built-in GPS—requiring a smartphone connection for routes—and cannot answer calls or reply to messages.

realme Watch 2 review

The Realme Watch 2 is an entry-level, lightweight fitness tracker featuring a 1.4-inch display, IP68 water resistance, and 90 sports modes with comprehensive health monitoring, including SpO2. It is praised for its long battery life of up to 12 days and user-friendly Realme Link app integration, though it lacks premium materials and features thick screen bezels. While suitable for casual users due to reliable step and sleep tracking, the watch lacks integrated GPS, requiring a connected smartphone for mapping, and its UI can feel sluggish. Key downsides also include the lack of an always-on display and a non-standard, proprietary charger. This budget-friendly device is positioned as a solid, low-maintenance option for beginners, despite facing heavy competition in its segment.

Realme Watch 2 - Black - Test, Reviews & Prices

The realme Watch 2 is a budget-friendly, lightweight smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch LCD screen, IP68 water resistance, and 90 sports modes. It serves as a basic fitness tracker with 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2 measurements, and impressive, long-lasting battery life. While the device boasts a vibrant display with 600-nit peak brightness for sunlight readability, it lacks built-in GPS and a premium design, featuring a plastic build with large bezels.
