After talking up and teasing its fitness band for the past few months, Realme Band was officially unveiled today, alongside the Realme 6 series at an event in New Delhi. This is the company’s first attempt at a fitness tracker but I would like to see it as yet another assault on Xiaomi’s dominance in India.
Right off the bat, you will notice that the Realme Band looks a lot like the Honor Band 5i with its curved design that fits the wrist perfectly. The band weighs only 20 grams and it should feel quite comfortable and snugly, thanks to the soft TPU material of the straps.
There are five watch faces in tow right now and you can apply them from the Realme Link app, which also acts as your fitness tracking hub. Realme says that more watch faces will be added via OTA updates in the future. The band supports notifications, alarms, drinking and sedentary reminders, among other things.
Realme Band has been priced at Rs. 1,499 in India. It comes three attractive color strap options including black, yellow and green. We have been using the black variant, but the green one looks promising in the official renders. The fitness tracker will go on sale starting from 9th March next week, but the Hate-to-Wait sale is set for 2:00 PM today.
