Dizo brings Watch D Pro with custom CPU and OS, Watch D Ultra tags along

Yordan, 09 January 2023

Dizo announced Watch D in June, followed by Watch D Plus in November, and now the family is expanding with two new members. The Realme TechLife brand announced Watch D Pro with Dizo D1 chipset, Dizo OS and Bluetooth calling support, as well as Watch D Ultra with an AMOLED screen.

The Pro variant comes with a 1.85” square display and one physical button on the side. The screen can reach up to 600 nits brightness and supports 60Hz refresh rate. The device has an aluminum frame with sensors for heart rate, SpO2 (blood oxygen) tracking, and it also can track sleep, calories, and steps.

The Dizo D1 chipset is advertised to come with an independent GPU and 4x more RAM on the side to bring fluid scrolling, better animation and “other powerful features”. The Dizo OS gained more features, support for more watchfaces and further customizations.

This Watch D Pro can track over 110 sports modes, including onboard GPS tracking. Battery life is said to be up to 7 days.

Dizo is launching the Watch D Pro in Black, with three different color options for the silicone straps - Blue, White, or Black. The price is INR2,699 (about $32/€30), and the launch is scheduled for January 17 on Flipkart.

The panel on the Ultra has a smaller 1.78” diagonal, but the panel is AMOLED with a higher 368x448 resolution. It doesn't have the custom-made OS or CPU as the Pro, but at least it kept the Bluetooth calling support and carries the same array of sensors.

The Watch D Ultra stands out with a longer battery life of up to 10 days and a slightly different design.

This wearable is more expensive than the Pro, raising the question of whether the AMOLED and the arbitrarily longer battery life are worth the increase, given that it lacks the oh-so-special custom-made CPU or OS. The price is set at INR3,299 ($40/€37), and color options again only concern the silicone strap - Blue, White, or Black. The launch is scheduled for this Friday, January 12, on Flipkart.

So more or less like what they are copying? O:-)

Another terrible watch with proprietary software that will never have any good features.

It is quite common among smartwatches and smartbands to just rely on the position of the phone, and log that as a track-point. Of course this means you can not take a trip leaving the phone behind and synchronise its position data with the phone...
