Realme has quietly returned to the smartwatch arena with the new Realme Watch 5, appearing first on Amazon Germany. The device pairs a large rectangular AMOLED screen and extended battery life with a design that will feel familiar to fans of premium wearables.
Key specs and health features
The Realme Watch 5 sports a 1.97-inch rectangular AMOLED display with a 390×450 resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits of peak brightness, promising sharp visuals and good outdoor legibility. Realme quotes up to 14 days of battery life thanks to a 460mAh cell and a lightweight proprietary OS — a departure from Google’s Wear OS that helps extend stamina between charges.
On the fitness front, the Watch 5 supports 108 workout modes, continuous heart-rate monitoring and SpO2 tracking for blood-oxygen levels. It’s rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, and includes built-in GPS/GNSS for route tracking. Users will also find more than 300 watch faces to customize the look and NFC support for contactless payments.
Design choices and extra features
Visually, Realme has gone with a chunky case and pronounced straps that many observers compare to the Apple Watch Ultra series. Strap styling and the overall silhouette give it a rugged, outdoor-ready appearance. Amazon Germany lists two colorways — a classic black and a so-called “Titanium Silver.” The listing doesn’t clarify whether titanium is actually used or if the name is purely marketing.
Leaked details and the product page hint at additional conveniences: Bluetooth calling, a new Bluetooth intercom mode for direct device-to-device chatter without relying on a phone, NFC-based access card functionality and a built-in compass for navigation. These features would broaden the Watch 5’s appeal beyond basic fitness tracking.
Price-wise, the Realme Watch 5 is shown at €70 on Amazon Germany, with the earliest delivery date around November 3. That timing lines up with a wider launch expected in early November as Realme ramps up its wearable lineup after a year-long pause.
Conclusion
The Realme Watch 5 looks like a competitive value play: a large AMOLED display, multi-day battery life, robust health tracking and premium-inspired styling at an aggressive price. If you’re after a smartwatch with strong fitness features and an Apple Watch Ultra-like aesthetic without the premium cost, the Watch 5 is worth watching when it ships next month.
