How to Choose the Best Smartwatch in India?

Wondering about how to choose a good smartwatch in India?

Well, here are a few things you should consider while purchasing the smartwatch either from the online sites or offline stores.

1.What are the uses of a Smartwatch?

Every Smartwatch has its own set of uses based on the brand and specifications.

So, let us look at what a generic Smartwatch has to offer.

A] Notifications

The first thing that comes to mind when the word ‘Smart Watch’ pops up is Smart notifications like messages, emails, app alerts etc…

However, do note that you should connect the watch with your Smartphone in order to receive the notifications.

B] Fitness tracking

A smartwatch comes with barometers and pedometer that help track your steps, distance traveled, calories burned, heart rate etc…

In short, a regular watch tells just time, whereas a smartwatch is like a wearable fitness companion apart from showing time and date.

C] App Support

Some high-end Android Smartwatches and Apple Watches do come with app support to improve the functionality of the watch further.

You can choose to install multiple apps depending on your needs from the store.

D] Multimedia

While some smart watches support built-in mp3 player, others support controlling the media on your mobile.

E] Built-in GPS

The most high-end Smartwatches come with GPS built-in so that your exact location can be tracked for accurate data analysis.

F] Voice Dictation

Since typing on the smartwatch is a tedious task due to less screen space, users can just talk and type the message out, which saves time as well.

2.Operating System

The first thing you should note is the operating system of the smart watch.

Most smartwatches run on wear OS and others on their proprietary operating systems.

But, all the watches come with the support for Android or iOS to connect to your mobile device.

  • Wearable OS (Android): Most smartwatches use the Android OS as it is easy to use and customizable.
  • iOS (Apple Watches): Dedicated solely to Apple devices and has limited number of apps compared to Android.
  • Tizen OS: It is Samsung’s own operating system used mostly on Samsung Smartwatches and mobiles.
  • Windows 10 OS: Developed by Microsoft and is very less used these days.

3.Smart Watch Display

Choose the one that looks good on your hands. If you’ve small hands, a smartwatch with bigger dial doesn’t look good on you. So, choose accordingly.

You should also choose between rounded and rectangular displays based on your styling preferences.

The next thing is the screen quality, whether it is LCD, OLED or AMOLED.

LCD displays utilizes the backlight to produce images on the watch screen.

OLED and AMOLED displays work without the need of a backlight to produce deep black and contrast ratios. So, they save more battery than LCD’s.

Another difference is that the OLED displays single, multi and full colors, while the AMOLED displays full color.

4.App Connectivity & UI

The app connectivity is one major advantage of the smart devices, without which you’ll not be able to see in-depth statistics of your activities.

While some watches come with just Bluetooth connectivity, the latest smartwatches are coming with WiFi connectivity as well.

Another thing is that all your settings like watch faces, display, features etc..can be customized on the mobile app and hence the connectivity is very important.

5.Interface

It is how you communicate with the Smartwatch. There are generally 2 types of interfaces.

a] Buttons and Bezels

Most conventional smartwatches still use the buttons and bezels as a means to communicate or navigate the device.

Bezels and buttons help you control or navigate the items from the menu to perform an action.

These are generally less costly when compared to smartwatches with  touchscreen support.

b] Touch Screen

It is more convenient and also gives a premium feel to the smartwatch. And, you can also customize it further using watch faces.

6.Battery Life and Charging Time

Most smartwatches come with a battery life of up to 7 days and a stand-by of up to 20 days. This may change based on your usage, watch OS and other factors.

Choose the one that would give a minimum of 5 to 7 days on a single charge for a normal usage.

And, check for the watch brand that charges the battery in under 2 hours, else it is not worth.

7.Glass Protection

Since a smartwatch is worn all the time, it is prone to collect scratches and hence it requires protection.

Gorilla Glass is one common protection used by most smartwatch brands these days.

8.Waterproof/Swim Support

These days people who are using smart bands or watches to track their swimming efforts are increasing and hence it is suggested to get a waterproof smartwatch.

And, if you don’t want to use your watch while swimming, atleast get a splash proof watch as it handles the rain and sweat effectively.

9.Smartwatch Prices in India

Well, the price mostly depends on the brand, features you’ll need and accuracy of tracking.

If you’re a regular user, then you can get a smartwatch under 5000 rupees.
