Realme Watch 2 Pro Budget Smartwatch Review, Unboxing and Accuracy Test!

one of the latest wearable devices 
to enter the smartwatch world in 2021  
is here this is the realme watch 2 pro a 
sort of budget or middleweight smartwatch  
looking to compete against the likes of the 
oneplus watch or indeed the atmosphere gts2  
coming in at around 70 pounds it really does look 
the part but looks aren’t everything so of course  
we are going to do an unboxing review the features 
of the real me watch 2 pro and as usual do an spo2  
and heart rate accuracy test make sure you stay 
tuned because this one has really caught my eye
what’s up guys welcome back to tech it easy so 
the real me watch 2 pro is in for an unboxing  
review and of course an accuracy test and i 
gotta say i’ve been really looking forward to  
getting my hands on this smartwatch as it sits 
at a really good price point before we do jump  
into that unboxing though if you could quickly

so moving into the unboxing the real me watch 2 
pro branding and packaging certainly catches the  
eye and it really got me excited to rip open the 
box and to be honest i was really impressed with  
what was inside

really nice and neat unboxing
experience and the watch itself surprisingly
felt quite hardy and premium or the very least
it didn’t feel cheap it is also much bigger than
i expected which was another nice surprise the
display measures in at a whopping 1.75 inches
which in my world is pretty big at the bottom of
the box we of course do get our usual paperwork
as well as a charging hook which was pretty
stress-free to attach and detach getting started
with the real me watch 2 pro was also pretty easy
to set up the real me watch 2 pro you’ll need to
hold down the singular button on the side of the
watch to power it on then you’ll be prompted to
download the realme link app once you’ve done that
it’ll most likely be an update for the watch then
you’re good to go nice simple setup so let’s move
on with the review so before we talk about the
features let’s really hone in on the design of the
watch 2 pro it obviously takes on a square apple
watch light design which to be honest has grown
on me a little bit it feels a little heavier and
thicker compared to the apple watch though and of
course the materials don’t feel quite on par but
i really wouldn’t expect it for a watch at this
price point you get a rubber wrist strap which
has a cool quote on it saying dare to leap love
that made the watch feel a little bit more special
moving on there is of course a physical button
on the side that i spoke of earlier that is for
powering on and of course stepping back something
that i’ve really grown to appreciate on smart
watches these days i’ve grown to dislike smart
wishes that come without a physical button moving
on around the back you’ve got nothing more than
what you’d expect from a smartwatch you’ve got all
your sensors on a gloss of black finish now moving
on to the watch and its features i’m actually
going to make my first negative comment about the
real me watch 2 pro here and that is with regards
to the ui and the performance of the smartwatch
now perhaps i’m expecting too much from it here
as it after all it does cost only 70 pounds but
i just feel it’s a little bit slow and janky and
i thought for a smartwatch in 2021 i was sort
of expecting a little bit more the software is
also quite basic i was expecting a little bit more
from realme to be honest it’s sort of what you see
on standard budget smart watches then there’s a
display and the screen brightness it’s certainly
bright enough just about enough to see outside
on a sunny day definitely not bad but there is
something getting to me colors feel a little bit
washed out and the blacks don’t feel quite as deep
now it’s not terribly important on a smartwatch
as we’re not exactly going to be watching any
movies on them but a bit of contrast on the screen
would certainly help runners cyclists and others
when they’re trying to get a crucial information
at a quick glance when they’re on the move
again though this can be forgiven when we consider
the price point and also the fact that the real me
watch 2 pro is actually jam-packed with features
we have things such as sleep tracking vo2 max sp02
workout modes and more but speaking of workouts
there really aren’t that many in comparison to
other watches i’ve tested now i do always make
the point if you watch my other videos that
workouts aren’t really all that important because
they just track the same thing just with sort of
different wording if you like but i did notice
that the real me watch 2 is really seriously
behind in comparison to other smart watches
so for people who do want those extra choices
you might be missing out a little bit here
so maybe one or two more workout modes would
really help the real me watch 2 pro here and i do
think that is something that they could do through
a software update so who knows maybe they’ll fix
that in the future moving on also coming with the
watch you actually get a nice selection of some
pre-installed watch faces and you can download
hundreds of different watch faces using their app
again it all feels very standard and sort of what
you see a lot of on budget smart watches that’s
no bad thing though in addition to this you also
get those two features commonly seen on fitness
trackers and smart watches those being the camera
shutter controller and the all-important find my
phone the vm watch 2 pro also has the ability to
receive notifications you can get alerts from
youtube text twitter it’s actually pretty good
when you do get these notifications through as
well it sort of made me forget that this is a 70
pound smartwatch because it just works and it it
works well now one absolutely huge feature that
the realme watch 2 pro does have over a lot of
its competitors is inbuilt gps and this isn’t some
cheap connected gps you can actually use the watch
as a standalone watch without having to bring your
phone with you now this feature is great and
so all the other ones but how does the real me
watch 2 pro do when it comes to accuracy so we’re
going to jump into a quick test of the heart rate
accuracy and the sp02 and see how it does so if
you haven’t watched one of my videos before we
will be testing against the o2 ring that the guys
at well you kindly provided me for another video
it’s medical grade and gives live readings
straight to my phone top is sp02 and bottom
is heart rate so jumping straight into it we’re
kicking things off with the heart rate accuracy
and you can see right away that the real me watch
2 pro is struggling a bit it’s sort of past what
i would consider to be a fair margin for error
here and after a bit of adjusting i did manage to
get it closer to what the o2 ring was displaying
so in the end it was sort of in the ballpark but
by no means would i class the watch 2 pro as
accurate when it comes to heart rate accuracy
believe it or not though i have seen worse
this should be fine for some rough monitoring
if you’re using the watch for general health
monitoring i can’t see any issues here but serious
athletes might want to think twice moving on to
the sp02 a similar story on all off-camera and
on-camera tests it was a couple of percent out
each time several occasions it displayed 100
which to be honest i’ve never ever seen before
it’s very common for smart watches to be one
percent out but for me this is definitely standing
out in a bad way compared to other watches
again though for general health monitoring it
should be fine but for athletes there might
be better choices out there so that was a heart
rate and spo2 accuracy test for the real me watch
2 pro a little bit disappointing if i’m honest
because i really was rooting for this smart watch
but the data doesn’t lie side note as well i do
of course do plenty of off-camera tests as well
but obviously if i put them all in the video the
video would be way too long so just take my word
for it so final thoughts on the real me watch 2
pro despite some of the discrepancies with the
accuracy and a couple of the other features i
really actually found it quite delightful it’s
really well built and it feels really good on the
wrist it actually feels better than a lot of other
smart watches at this price point but again it is
just a shame about the accuracy that being said it
should be fine for those of you who are just doing
general health monitoring you don’t really need it
to be bang on the dot every time so really whether
you buy this watch or not really depends on what
you’re going to be using it for if you’re a
serious sports enthusiast then yes look elsewhere
but if you’re just looking for general health
monitoring for things like sleep steps tracking
calories and all that then this watch will be
absolutely fine especially for the price of course
