First Impressions
I was a bit skeptical buying a renewed smartwatch, but the realme Watch S arrived in a plain box, looked clean and immediately felt solid thanks to its aluminium alloy case and Gorilla Glass 3.
Key Features
- The 1.3‑inch TFT LCD is bright (up to 600 nits) and auto‑adjusts, so it’s easy to read outdoors.
- Battery really stretches – I got close to 14 days of normal use before needing a quick charge.
- SpO2 and continuous heart‑rate monitoring work reliably; the readings match what I see on my phone’s health app.
- IP68 rating means I can wear it while swimming laps without any worry.
- All the usual accessories – charger, extra strap and a generic box – were included, and the seller backs it with a six‑month warranty.
Pros
- Excellent battery life for a smartwatch in this price range.
- Durable build with aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass.
- Accurate health sensors for everyday tracking.
- Water‑resistant enough for swimming and showering.
- Renewed status saves money while still offering a warranty.
Cons
- The generic box feels less premium than a brand‑new package.
- No built‑in GPS – you need to keep your phone nearby for location data.
- The UI can be a little sluggish when switching apps.
Final Verdict
Overall I’m happy with the realme Watch S (Renewed). It delivers the core smartwatch experience – solid build, long battery, and useful health tracking – at a fraction of the cost of a brand‑new model. If you’re comfortable with a generic box and can live without GPS, it’s a smart buy. Check the current price and see if the six‑month warranty fits your peace‑of‑mind needs.
