I took the realme Watch 3 on our 5-day trip to Coron last week and the watch performed well. For one, I didn’t bother packing its charger. With a 7-day battery life, the realme watch 3 offers you the convenience of not having to worry about charging your device frequently.

The watch offers clear Bluetooth calling – pretty convenient when you’re out and you want to take a call, especially from a friend who’s supposed to join you. The sound quality of the call is superb – owing to an AI noise cancellation algorithm to filter out background noise.

The realme Watch 3 has good health monitoring features from a 24/7 heart rate monitoring, continuous SpO2 or blood oxygen saturation level, stress monitoring, and sleep quality monitor. These features are really helpful in keeping track of your health and fitness. The heart rate monitor alerts you of potential abnormalities.
