Priced at Rs 7,999, the smartwatch also offers advanced health tracking features like heart rate, SpO2, sleep, and stress monitoring, making it a strong competitor in the affordable premium smartwatch segment.
The latest addition to the realme watch family, named the Realme Watch S5 has been launched in India. Realme is all set to add another gem to its watch range just five months after launching the Realme Watch 5 with some significant updates such as premium circular AMOLED display, GPS, Bluetooth calling facility, and a battery life lasting up to 20 days.
The realme Watch S5 has been launched along with the realme 16T and realme Buds Air 8 Pro. It is a noticeable difference that whereas the previous realme watch was a square dial model, the new realme watch comes with a round design, making it more stylish and sporty. With health tracking sensors, more than 110 different sport mode support, and connectivity features, realme Watch S5 will prove itself a strong contender in the mid-range smartwatch segment.

The Realme Watch S5 has been launched in India at a price of Rs 7,999. However, as part of an early bird offer, buyers will be able to purchase the smartwatch for Rs 7,499 for a limited period.

Circular AMOLED Display
Another great selling point of the Realme Watch S5 is the high-end 1.43 inch AMOLED screen. The device boasts a 466 x 466 pixels resolution and 302 PPI pixel density. Moreover, the AMOLED panel can reach up to 1,000 nits of luminosity, allowing the user to view notifications, workout data, watch faces, among other things, even in sunlight conditions. Besides that, the Always-on Display (AOD) feature is present in this smartwatch, thus helping users view the time and other useful information without having to turn the watch on.
On top of that, the device has been manufactured using aluminum and Panda Glass, which is usually used in smartphones. With Panda Glass, the phone's surface becomes more resistant to scratches and damage. The smartwatch has also been equipped with an aluminum body and is relatively light, with only 49.63 grams when wearing the strap.
110+ Sports Modes and Advanced Fitness Features
Realme is heavily focusing on fitness enthusiasts with the Watch S5. The smartwatch supports more than 110 sports modes, covering activities such as running, cycling, walking, stretching, and aerobic workouts.
The watch also offers advanced training features including:
Running courses
Stretching guides
Aerobic training effect monitoring
Recovery duration analysis
Sports rankings
Apart from workout-focused features, the smartwatch can continuously track daily activities including:
Step count
Calories burned
Distance covered
Standing reminders
These features make the Watch S5 a useful fitness companion for users looking to monitor their daily physical activity more effectively.
Built-In GPS With Five Satellite Navigation Systems
The next important feature is the provision of built-in GPS tracking functionality. Realme claims that the smartwatch has support for five global satellite navigation systems for better navigation while engaging in outside activities.
With this feature, users will be able to navigate their walks, runs, bike, and jog routes using just the smartwatch without necessarily relying on their smartphones for guidance. GPS functionality in smartwatches is generally regarded as an added premium feature.
Health Monitoring Features
The smartwatch includes several important health monitoring tools designed to help users keep track of their overall well-being.
Some of the major health tracking features include:
Heart rate monitoring
Blood oxygen (SpO2) tracking
Sleep tracking
Stress monitoring
Women’s health tracking
Noise monitoring
The combination of these features makes the Watch S5 suitable for users who want an affordable smartwatch capable of delivering comprehensive health insights.
Bluetooth Calling and Smart Features
The Realme Watch S5 also doubles as a practical daily utility device. It supports Bluetooth calling functionality, allowing users to make and receive calls directly from the smartwatch.
For this, the device includes:
Built-in speaker
Integrated microphone
Users can also receive notifications, alerts, and app updates directly on the watch, making it easier to stay connected without constantly checking their smartphone.
The vibrant AMOLED panel also enhances the overall user experience with multiple customisable watch faces and Always-On Display support.
Massive Battery Life Up to 20 Days
Battery life is another key strength of the new Realme smartwatch. The device packs a sizeable 460mAh battery that promises impressive endurance.
According to Realme:
Up to 16 days battery life in standard mode
Up to 20 days battery life in light smart mode
The smartwatch supports magnetic charging and reportedly takes around 2.5 hours to charge fully from 0 to 100 percent.
Long battery life remains one of the most important factors for smartwatch buyers, and Realme appears to be targeting users who prefer fewer charging interruptions.
5ATM Water Resistance for Daily Use
For durability, the Realme Watch S5 comes with 5ATM water resistance certification. This means the smartwatch should comfortably handle sweat, rain, handwashing, and even certain water-based activities.
The water resistance also makes the watch more suitable for workouts and outdoor usage.
Realme Watch S5 vs CMF Watch 3 Pro
The launch of the Realme Watch S5 puts it in direct competition with the recently launched CMF Watch 3 Pro by Nothing.
Both smartwatches offer similar core specifications, including:
1.43-inch AMOLED display
Bluetooth calling
Multiple sports modes
Health tracking features
Premium round dial design
However, Realme appears to be focusing strongly on battery life, GPS functionality, and extensive fitness features to stand out in this competitive segment.
It will be interesting to see how the Realme Watch S5 performs in real-world usage and whether it can challenge the growing popularity of CMF smartwatches in India.
With the release of Realme Watch S5, Realme seems set to consolidate its dominance in the affordable premium smartwatches segment with the watch offering features such as an attractive AMOLED screen, GPS connectivity, advanced health tracking options, Bluetooth Calling, and a battery-efficient design.
For consumers in search of an all-in-one smartwatch under the mark of Rs. 8000, the Realme Watch S5 can be one good choice, especially for fitness-minded consumers.
