Looking for a smartwatch with Bluetooth calls that still passes for a normal watch rather than a gadget on your wrist? REXQU’s Meridian and Verve both answer calls without a phone in hand, while keeping the everyday-style look this category is all about.
Plenty of fitness trackers bolt on calling as an afterthought. These two build it in from the start, alongside the heart-rate, blood pressure and sleep tracking REXQU watches are known for.
REXQU Meridian: Calls, NFC and a Rotating Crown
The REXQU Meridian ($139.97) pairs a 1.75″ AMOLED display (466×466) with Bluetooth 5.3 calling through a built-in speaker and mic, plus an AI voice assistant for hands-free questions. Its signature fluted crown spins through a 3D visual menu, and built-in NFC adds access control and offline payment — tap your wrist instead of digging for keys or a card.
Underneath that polish sits the usual REXQU health stack: continuous heart-rate tracking, on-demand cuff-free blood pressure readings, SpO₂ spot checks, guided breathing sessions and automatic sleep tracking, all logged in the Fitcloud Pro app. A 300mAh battery runs 5–7 days of normal use and over 30 days on standby.
REXQU Verve: Calls, Music and 100+ Sports Modes
The REXQU Verve ($129.97) takes a sportier route to the same idea. Its 1.43″ AMOLED runs at 800 nits — bright enough to read in direct sun — and one-touch Bluetooth calling is joined by Bluetooth music playback straight from the watch.
Health tracking covers 24/7 heart rate, on-demand blood oxygen, on-wrist blood pressure and automatic sleep tracking, plus 100+ sports modes with 1ATM water resistance for sweat and rain. It comes in a softer, rounder case that leans casual rather than formal.

Which Smartwatch With Bluetooth Calls Fits You?
Both models qualify as a genuine smartwatch with Bluetooth calls rather than a fitness band that happens to buzz. The Meridian leans more formal and feature-dense — the rotating crown and NFC tap-to-pay make sense if you already treat your watch as an everyday accessory, not just a workout tool. The Verve leans sportier and brighter, with a display built for outdoor visibility and a deeper sports-mode library for anyone who trains often.
If NFC payments and a dressier crown-and-dial interface matter more, the Meridian is the pick. If you want the brightest possible screen and built-in music playback for workouts, the Verve makes more sense — and it’s $10 cheaper.
Why NFC Is Worth Paying Attention To
The Meridian’s tap-to-pay feature relies on NFC, the same short-range wireless standard used in contactless credit cards and phone wallets (Wikipedia, Near-field communication). It only works over a couple of centimetres, which is exactly why it’s considered secure enough for payments — nobody’s skimming your watch from across a room.
A Couple of Common Questions
Do I need my phone nearby for either watch to make calls? Yes — both connect to your phone over Bluetooth and route calls through it, so your phone needs to be within roughly 30 feet, not necessarily in your hand.
Are the blood pressure and SpO₂ readings medical-grade? No. Both watches are built for everyday wellness awareness and trend tracking, not diagnosis — treat the numbers as a helpful habit, not a replacement for a blood pressure cuff or a conversation with your doctor.
Either way, a smartwatch with Bluetooth calls no longer means choosing between looking sharp and staying connected. Browse both models, plus the rest of REXQU’s everyday style lineup, to see which fits your wrist and your routine.
