Smart watches are fashionable accessories that integrate cutting-edge technology. They have an exquisite appearance and can be connected to mobile phones to receive notifications, play music, and make calls. They can accurately monitor sports and health data. Adaptable to various life scenarios, they are your intimate companions, making life more intelligent and convenient.
System Structure
Realtek Smart Watch solution based on RTL8773E uses a single BT SoC as the main controller. It connects to peripherals via interfaces such as SPIC, I2C, SPI, GPIO, I8080, MIC, and DAC, and connects to phones via Bluetooth to create a highly integrated smart watch solution.
Realtek provides reference designs, SDK, and toolchains, characterized by high integration and ease of development.
RTL8773G-series smartwatch solution is based on a highly integrated single-chip BT SoC. Compared with the RTL8773E series, it offers a higher-performance MCU and DSP, a Helium vector engine, a 2.5D graphics engine, and JPEG encoding/decoding capabilities, delivering a powerful and feature-rich smartwatch platform.
The RTL8783GBF smartwatch solution is built on the RTL8773G series, with further integration of Wi-Fi, on-chip 64Mbit Flash, and 128Mbit PSRAM, as well as more abundant I/O resources, making it ideal for high-end, feature-rich smartwatch designs.

Start Implementing My Smart Watch Application
Define the product functionality, focusing on the graphical user interface (GUI), Bluetooth features, and audio requirements.
Chip selection: Based on functional requirements, select an appropriate chip solution and evaluate whether its performance, resources, and other parameters meet the needs.
Evaluation board procurement: Purchase the corresponding evaluation boards from online marketplaces to conduct functional evaluation and performance testing, ensuring the hardware platform meets the design requirements.
Apply for SDK resources: Register an account on Anchor and request the SDK documentation and resources.
Application development: Customize and implement the required functionality based on the SDK.
Validate that the developed functionality and stability meet the requirements, ensuring the quality of deliverables meets the required standards.
Certification preparation: Prepare relevant documentation and test reports, and apply for the necessary product certifications (e.g., Bluetooth certification, safety certification).
Mass production preparation: Complete production line setup and testing to ensure quality and consistency in large-scale production.
