Realme, well known for its smartphones, has also been expanding into other gadgets. The recently launched Realme Watch 2 Pro aims to offer an affordable smartwatch experience. Priced at BDT 4,999, does it provide good value?

Design and Build

Made of plastic and glass, the Watch 2 Pro feels well-made for its price point. Its 40g frame and 12.7mm thickness lend a slim profile that doesn’t look bulky on wrists. Available in two color variants, it sports a stylish look. Build quality seems above average considering alternatives in this range.

Display

The Realme Watch 2 Pro 1.75-inch IPS LCD screen comes with a resolution of 320×385 pixels which renders content legibly albeit lack of sharpness expected at this display size. At 600 nits peak brightness, it remains readable even under direct sunlight. Touch response is adequate for basic navigation and app control.

Fitness Tracking

A range of health/fitness-focused features include steps and calorie counting, sleep monitoring, stress tracking, heart rate monitoring, and blood oxygen monitoring. While the data collected may not be medically accurate, it gives a fair idea of daily activities and progress over time for casual users.

Other Features

Other notable attributes comprise water resistance up to 1.5m depth, notification mirroring from paired phones, music control, multiple watch faces, sedentary reminders, and multiple sports modes. Proprietary OS is basic but gets tasks done for a smartwatch.

Battery Performance

Equipped with a 390mAh battery, the Watch 2 Pro delivers up to 14 days of endurance on a single charge as per company claims with typical usage, which includes regular notifications, activity tracking, and 60 minutes of GPS usage per week. This is outstanding battery life.

Priced at just BDT 4,999, the Realme Watch 2 Pro provides an entry to the budget smartwatch category for Bangladeshi users seeking fitness tracking and basic smartwatch functionality at low cost. Its good looks and long battery life make it a recommended buy.
