One of the things that I’ve noticed as my parents beautifully aged is that they’ve grown more conscious about their health over time. They have everything in place – from their diet down to their fitness routine. Now that Father’s Day is near (June 21 to be exact!), I’d like to share an affordable smart wearable called realme Band, which our health-conscious dads might appreciate!

It won’t be an issue if your dad isn’t the techie type because the controls of this tech wearable is easy to understand. You can even explain it to him without needing to go through a lot of pages. The bands are water-resistant, cold resistant, oil resistant, water resistant, and wear-resistant – suitable for any kind of lifestyle. I have my own realme Band and based on experience, the straps don’t make my skin itch even during prolonged use.

Features of this smart wearable include a real-time heart rate monitor – great for our dads who constantly need to check their pulse, sleep quality monitor to help analyze the user’s sleep pattern, an idle alert to remind our dads to move or take a walk after sitting at his office chair for long hours, and a sports tracker that supports 9 modes – cricket, yoga, running, walking, hiking, climbing, cycling, spinning, and fitness.

Plus, it comes in three colors – black, green, and yellow, with a personalized dial face. It isn’t too bulky, so I’m sure it would fit anyone’s OOTD, too.

Because it’s better to stay at home while we wait for a cure to the ongoing pandemic, we suggest that you place orders via realme Philippines’ official Shopee Mall page at shopee.ph/realmeofficialstore instead. The realme Band is sold for Php 1,390 + shipping fee. Otherwise, you can wait for the Shopee 7.7 celebration to avail free shipping!
