 In Pakistan, Realme operates multiple brands including Realme, Realme TechLife, and Dizo, taking advantage of the company's research and development capabilities, sales and service network, and brand reputation. Realme TechLife sells a wide range of products in Pakistan, such as vacuum cleaners, wireless earphones, and smartwatches. Here I will review the Realme TechLife Watch S100, an affordable smartwatch that promises a lot of features for the price.

With a retail price of Rs. 5900 in Pakistan, the Realme TechLife Watch S100 is one of the cheapest smartwatches available right now from the company. Several features are available here, including tracking your heart rate, your SpO2, and your body temperature. 

Is this the best affordable smartwatch on the market right now?

A number of affordable smartwatches offer rectangular screens, including some from Realme. They are often inspired by Apple Watch designs. This watch borrows this look, but its low price is reflected in the design and build quality. The smartwatch looks decent for the price it costs.

With a rectangular color display measuring 1.69 inches and a peak brightness of 530 nits, the Watch S100 has a resolution of 240x280 pixels. All sides of the screen's casing have thick borders. Right on the right side is a physical button. An optical sensor for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen is located on the underside of the watch, and a sensor for measuring body temperature is located on the opposite side.

Realme TechLife Watch S100 has a single button that controls the watch's power (long-press the button to turn it on or off), and standby (short press the button to either wake or turn off the screen).It also takes you back one step if you are in a menu. For navigation and device controls, the touch screen responds to swipes and gates to cycle between menus and make selections within the stoner interface.

The 20 mm rubber swatch on the Realme Watch S100 is comfortable, and has plenty of adaptation points for a suitable fit. It's also removable and interchangeable. The smartwatch is available in two colors – black and argentine – and is IP68 rated for water resistance,making it safe to use in most everyday circumstances, including when showering or swimming.

With a weight of 34g, the Realme TechLife Watch S100 is light and easy to handle. Besides the temperature sensor and optical sensors used to measure heart rate and blood oxygen, it has a 260mAh battery and an accelerometer. In order to maintain a connection with your paired smartphone, the smartwatch uses Bluetooth 5.1 and the Realme Fit app.

A charging cable is included in the sales package, which is magnetically attached to the bottom of the watch. The box does not include a wall adapter, but you can use any charger or USB port on a computer. You'll need to make sure the cable stays attached during charging, as it can come off with even the slightest jostling.

Realme TechLife Watch S100 software, interface, and app

Realme TechLife Watch S100 is a low-cost smartwatch that runs its own software, but needs a companion app to sync with the paired smartphone. Smartwatches from Realme, such as the Realme Watch 2 Pro, have similar user interfaces.

A swipe or tap on the watch's display will help you navigate the Realme TechLife Watch S100's UI. The watch's quick settings menu lets you access battery status, brightness control, DND toggle,  flashlight, and settings menu. The app provides widgets for fitness and health tracking data, as well as a notification shade to show notifications from selected apps. You are also able to access all of the apps preinstalled on the watch.

By tapping and holding down on the home screen, you can change the watch faces directly on the smartwatch. A fourth watch face can be chosen and synced via the companion app, and is replaced if a new one is selected from the watch face library.

You can use certain applications on the Realme TechLife Watch S100 to access its sensors, health tracking features, flashlight, and other features. Other features include setting alarms and timers, tracking workouts, triggering your phone's camera shutter, and controlling music. Unfortunately, this smartwatch cannot be updated with new apps.

Watch S100 uses the Realme Fit app instead of the Realme Link app found on the Watch 2 Pro and many other devices in the company's lineup. Both iOS and Android users can use the app to view detailed fitness and health data, and take control of your workouts, set device settings, and choose which apps can receive notifications from the smartwatch.

The app worked well, icing good connection stability and dependable announcement pushes, when paired with my OnePlus 9 ( Review). Still, the app itself is not as well designed as Realme Link. I noticed strange typos and odd expressions that feel to be restatement indiscretions. It would surely have been better if the company had gone with the tried and tested Realme Link app rather. 

Realme TechLife Watch S100 performance and battery life

Most wearables tend to be of the fitness shamus variety, with small and introductory defenses. It's thus worth noting that the Realme TechLife Watch S100 aesthetics and behaves more like a smartwatch, with a large color screen, fitness and health shadowing features. The large screen makes a big difference in terms of textbook legibility, and you can fluently check announcements. You can only see introductory details in some announcements and you can not respond to them from the smartwatch. You can dismiss the announcement for an incoming call, but your phone will keep ringing indeed if you tap the‘ decline' icon on the Watch S100. 

The watch faces on the Realme TechLife Watch S100 look relatively nice. Numerous watch faces have preset complications, with live pointers for effects similar as heart rate, way, and body temperature, among others. I liked the preinstalled faces the most, but there are over 100 further to choose from in the Realme Fit app. 

Health and fitness capabilities on the Realme TechLife Watch S100 include step, sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, and body temperature shadowing. Drill shadowing uses step and heart rate data to estimate distance covered and calories burnt. Other tools on the smartwatch include a flashlight (which illuminates the screen with bright white light), sandglass, timekeeper, alarm, rainfall report, camera shutter remote, and music playback remote, all of which worked as anticipated. 

The watch directly tracked my sleep and also handed some sapience on the bifurcation of light and deep sleep. The app maintains maps to help you keep track of how well you've been sleeping over the course of a week or month. The device can log several drill types, including walking, cycling, yoga, justice, football, and basketball, and colorful free training exercises. These are said to be geared to measure exertion specific to each exercise or sport, but for this review, I stuck to the basics and tested the Realme TechLife Watch S100 only with walking. 

When manually counting way, the Realme TechLife Watch S100 counted way, an error periphery of a little under five percent. 

Heart rate tracking on the Realme TechLife Watch S100 was accurate only when sitting down or standing still, and indeed also, it generally took a many seconds to arrive at a reading that matched what my palpitation oximeter showed. When walking, readings infrequently matched what the Apple Watch reported, frequently out by over to 20 bpm. 

Blood oxygen readings were also iffy on the Realme TechLife Watch S100, with fully different results from what the palpitation oximeter showed. These readings also changed by 1-2 percent every many seconds, while the palpitation oximeter held a steady number. 

The body temperature detector offered two separate measures, one for skin temperature and an alternate for body temperature. It's hard to say how accurate these readings were since measures tend to vary depending on where they are taken, and there was frequently a significant difference between the skin and body temperatures. The readings did not relatively match what I got from a contactless thermometer, but the Realme TechLife Watch S100 sounded generally accurate and did reply to changes in skin temperature snappily enough. 

Battery lifestyles at the Realme TechLife Watch S100 changed into decent, with the tool jogging for round 8 days on a unmarried fee with everyday use. This is similar to the extra treasured Realme Watch 2 Pro which has a bigger battery and GPS connectivity, however is despite the fact that sufficient desirable for a tool on this rate variety and with this factor set.

Verdict

Affordable smart wearables frequently tend to concentrate on fitness and health shadowing, and are really just fitness bands with minor smartwatch functionality. Bias similar as the Realme TechLife Watch S100 are designed to look like decoration smartwatches, while keeping costs low. It might offer all kinds of functionality, but this particular smartwatch does not relatively deliver when it comes to fitness shadowing, and its main appeal is really only its large color screen and announcement functionality. 

Step counting, heart rate, and blood oxygen shadowing were all relatively inaccurate in my experience. The app is a little bit strange in its design. Still, the good screen, dependable connectivity, comprehendible announcements, and decent battery life make this a smartwatch worth considering if you have a budget of under Rs..6000.
