There was a time when phone manufacturers were dedicated exclusively to developing smartphones, but for some time now there is no phone brand that does not have a smartphone in its catalog. monitoring bracelet or a smart watch.
In fact, we are facing the third generation of the Realme Watch that arrives without too many changes in design, but with some added functions that make it very interesting for users who want to stay active on a daily basis.
The realme Watch 3 It arrives with a price of 69.99 euros, which places it in a very competitive position with respect to smart watches, but perhaps not so much with respect to advanced monitoring bracelets. We analyze the realme Watch 3 and give you our opinion.
Analysis of realme Watch 3 by sections:
The realme Watch 3 maintains the same design language as its predecessors, with a rectangular case with smooth edges in which comfort comes first.
One of the novelties of this generation is the metallic-look finish that the Watch 3 sports on the perimeter of the case. In our case it is the black finish, which makes theThe footprints are quite marked on that shiny surface that, on the other hand, brings a touch of quality to the whole.
Centered on the right side we find the only button on the Smart watchwhich basically serves to turn on the screen and quickly access the application drawer.
Just below this button is the microphone built into the realme Watch 3, while on the opposite side we find the speaker.
The strap is made of a flexible silicone that fits well to the circumference of the wrist. The strap’s pin-based anchoring system allows for ample movement, allowing the watch to fit better on the wrist, thus avoiding unnecessary pressure or gaps between the strap and the skin.
The closure system is the traditional buckle and the 22mm strap is detachablee with a system of pins that do not need tools, so you can actually use any universal strap of this width compatible with this anchoring system. Great choice from realme.
The bottom cover of the case draws soft edges to avoid wrist discomfort and in the center we find the set of optical sensors for heart rate and SpO2 measurement. Just above the two charging contacts are located on which the compact magnetic charger is accommodated to charge the smart watch.
The LCD screen grows on the Watch 3 leaving a diagonal of 1.8 inchesbut the 240 x 286 pixels they leave a lower pixel density than their predecessor that had 320 x 320 pixels, so the pixels on the screen can become visible.
The wide frames are maintained on a screen that does not make the leap to AMOLED technology, something that we would have greatly appreciated in this model, further extending the battery life.
It also does not have an automatic brightness sensor., forcing you to manually set the screen brightness. We have left it at 40% brightness and with that setting we have had no problems viewing the screen outdoors. Even less when the maximum brightness of this screen is in some remarkable 500 nits.
What this smartwatch does include is the screen activation system when making the gesture of looking at the time that works very well, as well as a DND mode (?Do Not Disturb?) in which a rest time can be programmed so that the screen does not turn on when you raise your arm and avoid glare when you move while you sleep.
The screen It responds correctly to keystrokes and slides, although it gives the feeling that the operating system does not accompany it on occasions, forcing the gesture to be repeated.
The realme Watch 3 can install up to 4 different watch facesand has a catalog of more than a hundred free designs, accessible from the control application installed on the smartphone.
The screen layout remains the same, so simply swipe down to access quick settings from which you can change the screen brightness or activate the DND mode.
By sliding your finger up you access the latest notifications in which you can read all the text with some emojis in the case of WhatsApp messages, or the subject if it is an email.
By sliding to the left or right we will go through the different widgets that show relevant information about sleep, physical activity, heart rate, weather or the music player.
The realme bets on an improvement in certain aspects of its connectivity, such as the incorporation of a chip Bluetooth 5.3 which plays in favor of lower battery consumption by being more efficient.
In addition, the arrival of the new Bluetooth standard also favors the arrival of voice calls to the realme smart watch thanks to a greater bandwidth for data and the integration of a voice amplification chip and the use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms. to cancel ambient noise during calls.
These calls are always made using the smartphone in the same way that you would do it with the hands-free headset, but with the peculiarity of being able to dial the number you want to call or select the contact directly from the Watch 3, so you can make calls without taking your phone out of your pocket.
However, we will not be able to respond to those messages even with predefined messages. To do so we will have to use the mobile.
In daily use we have missed the possibility of making mobile payments from the watch since it lacks NFC.
All clock control is carried out from the realme link app Compatible with iOS or Android mobiles.
As far as sports monitoring is concerned, the realme Watch 3 has an automatic activity recognition system which, after a few minutes of movement, recommends you start recording a specific sports activity to collect data with greater precision.
The realme Watch 3 can carry up to 16 sports activities installed on the watchbut they can be customized from the realme Link app by completing more than a hundred possible sports activities.
Among them we find outdoor disciplines, such as cycling, hiking or climbing; indoor or room, such as different gym exercises, Crossfit or ballet; team sports, such as football, basketball or volleyball, and nautical and water sports, despite the fact that the IP68 protection does not recommend immersing the watch.
When you start the activity the GPS is activated, although the one that responds is the GPS of the smartphone since, unlike the Watch 2 Pro, the realme Watch 3 lacks its own GPS module. This implies having to carry the smartphone with you if you want to record the route, subtracting some autonomy from the smartwatch.
The accuracy of the records is acceptable for a device with these characteristics. This is not a medical monitoring device, so a certain margin of error is allowed.
In this case, and comparing the measurements with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro that we just analyzed, the realme Watch 3 has given us an average of 10 beats above reality. More accurate have been the records of SpO2 and, above all, of sleep, where the Watch 3 has nailed the time to go to bed and get up.
The collected data is sent to the realme link app where they are segmented by sections and details are broken down showing useful data such as sleep phases to assess their quality.
When it comes to displaying data on physical activities, values such as pace or cadence are shown in running or cycling sports, in which an assessment of aerobic exercise is shown and a recovery period is established before starting a new activity.
The system does not allow installing third-party appsbut it does open the door to the Google ecosystem by sending the processed data to Google Fit, but the same does not happen with other popular sports apps such as Strava.
Another of the star improvements that this realme Watch 3 can boast of is the increase in its autonomy thanks to a built-in 340mAh battery.
Realme announces that with its new smart watch they can be achieved up to 7 days of use. Although sometimes this data must be taken with tweezers, in this case, Realme has been quite realistic when measuring the autonomy of use of its smartwatch.
Keeping WhatsApp, mail and Slack notifications activated, with between three and four sports activities per week and with the brightness of the screen set to 40%, we have obtained an average of between 6 and 7 days using the watch normally.
The frequency in the monitoring of the constants has a great impact on the battery and the more frequent it is, the less autonomy. Even so, with everything activated and with days with several calls answered from the clock, it is easy to reach 5 days of use.
The loading times are not the most optimized that we have found, but taking into account the autonomy that is obtained in return, it is not a bad fact. With the USB charger that is included with the clock you get the 50% charge in about 38 minuteswhile to reach el 100% will have to wait until 2 hours.
We reached the end of realme Watch 3 review satisfied with a smartwatch that is generally good value for money.
It is a very complete smartwatch for those looking for “something more than a simple watch” and want to stay active and monitor their physical activity without spending a lot of money in a smartwatch that they have to charge almost daily. If that’s your profile, this may be the smartwatch you’re looking for.
However the realme Watch 3 accuses important resignations such as its screen resolution, Realme’s lack of ambition in not making the leap to AMOLED screens in this model or not including an automatic brightness sensor.
The same thing happens with the module GPS, a resignation that we do not fully understand when for almost the same price, and even less if you get a good deal, you have a realme Watch 2 Pro that does have GPS.
Ideal smart watch to get in shape. It has more than 100 sports modes and interesting health functions, such as SpO2 blood oxygen measurement and 24-hour heart rate monitoring, as well as a speaker and microphone for calls.
As we say, for a price of 69.99 euros the realme Watch 3 is a good alternative for users looking for some motivation to start leading a more active life and see its evolution, but not for the most advanced athletes.
If we were to place this realme Watch 3 in a position in the market, we would place this smartwatch slightly above a monitoring bracelet advanced for calling features and having a larger screen at a similar price.
