How to Choose a Smart Watch in India - Buying Guide

There are numerous brands that manufacture good smartwatches. While some are expensive others are relatively cheaper. However, in the case of a smartwatch- brand need not dictate the value you would want. 


Although the top brands maintain their domination for a reason- other brands can also be considered viable options if what you want aligns with what you get. To understand more- go through this buying guide!

1

Design Should Be Comfortable, Durable, and Attractive

Design Should Be Comfortable, Durable, and Attractive

Make note of the difference between the two terms- resistant and repellent. While water-resistant is able to resist the penetration of liquids to some degree, water repellent can be immersed in water for some time (around 30 minutes) because it repels water. It is treated for immersion with a surface coating. Lastly, water-proof entails that the product is impervious to water.


A wristwatch is an accessory that becomes daily wear. Thus, choose a style that you really like. Dials and straps are the most critical factors here. Dials are available in many shapes like circle, oval, square, rectangle, and in minor variations of these shapes. Choose the one that you think looks nice. Further, go for a watch that lets you change the straps and thus, customise the style to your liking.

2

Check if the Smartwatch Operating System Is Compatible

Check if the Smartwatch Operating System Is Compatible

This is another crucial factor when choosing a smartwatch. The smartwatch OS will play a deciding role when it comes to having access to the app of your choice. These watches are designed to act as a companion to your phone and can only fulfil their purpose if they are compatible.


Apple Watch is compatible with iPhone only. Whereas watches made to be compatible with Android devices are compatible with iPhone too, but some functionalities may be missing for the latter. For e.g. Google’s Wear OS is fully compatible with android devices- although compatible with iPhone too, android users enjoy some additional features. 


Lastly, manufacturers such as Fitbit and Garmin that are focused on fitness, create smartwatches that are compatible with both- Android devices and iPhone. Thus, before investing in a smartwatch- do make sure it is fully compatible with your smartphone to enjoy the full experience.

3

Look for Calling and Mobile Payment for a Mini-Phone

Look for Calling and Mobile Payment for a Mini-Phone

You can use your smartwatch as a mini phone to make phone calls if it has a built-in LTE cellular function. This will enable you to send and receive calls and text messages without even using your phone. However, you will need a separate data plan for your watch then. The signal may not be as strong, and the battery life can reduce with such sophisticate features.


Many smartwatches come with an NFC chip inside them which essentially help you make secure payments quickly without using your phone for it. This means you can pay for things without having your phone around.


Apple Watches have Apple Pay enabled, Wear OS has Google Pay and so on. Even watches that are more focused on fitness have NFC chips inside them- Garmin and Fitbit use Garmin Pay and Fitbit Pay respectively.

4

Choose Between Touchscreen and Physical Control Smart Watch

Choose Between Touchscreen and Physical Control Smart Watch

This becomes a choice for those who would not prefer to control a touchscreen as small as a dial of the watch- quite literally! It can be difficult to navigate using touch on a small screen but, if you want multiple functionalities from your smartwatch- it is better to go with a touchscreen.


Smartwatches these days combine physical controls with touch control for you to reap convenience of use. Watches like Samsung Galaxy Watch come with a rotating bezel that helps in scrolling through easily. Others come with a button on the side that makes it easy to make selections. Many such nuanced physical controls make it easier to navigate through that small screen.

5

Battery Life Should at Least Last a Day

Battery Life Should at Least Last a Day

Different watches offer varied battery life. The features of these smartwatches increase at the cost of their battery life. Calling, Bluetooth and GPS can significantly alter the battery of the device. However, some companies like Samsung flaunt a battery life of up to 7 days. Fitbit too goes a step ahead and guarantees a battery life of 6+ days on some of its models.


Apple falls short with its offerings- the device lasts for up to 18 hours only. This means you will have to plug it in every time you hit the bed at night. There are smartwatches from other companies too that will give a battery life of weeks; however, their features are not as superior.


Further, many smartwatches these days come with wireless charging abilities. Which essentially means that you need not plug your watch in on a wire, instead- you will just have to place your smartwatch on the charging puck.

Get the Best Display- AMOLED vs LCD

Get the Best Display- AMOLED vs LCD

Between AMOLED and LCD, the former is more expensive and less durable. AMOLED offers crisp and remarkable display and colours than LCD. Some say that this makes colours on an LCD screen more real. LCD screens can be viewed at any angle and show a brighter overall picture. However, LCDs increase the thickness of the device and are rigid; that is, LCDs cannot be used with curved screens.


AMOLED, on the other hand, gives the freedom for a thinner construction of device as pixels (that show colour on your screen) are their own source of light. They can be used for curved screens as well. The colours are vivid and deep blacks can be displayed, which is not possible with LCD. Lastly, AMOLED displays give a better battery life than LCD screens.

7

Heart Rate and GPS Features for the Health Conscious

Heart Rate and GPS Features for the Health Conscious

Fitness is one of the biggest propellers in the smartwatch market. Smartwatches come with pedometers that help in tracking the steps taken. Further, some models contain GPS, which is useful in monitoring the distance and mapping the pace for runs and bike rides.


Some smartwatches come with a built-in heart rate monitor for those who wish to keep their health stats in checks continually. Some companies go ahead and include special features for women that help in monitoring them their menstrual cycle and even give tips on how to maintain a healthy flow. Brownie points to these companies!

With a rectangular dial and rubber straps that can be customised- the watch looks showy and stylish. The bigger variant of the watch has a curved display, and the smaller variant has a flat one. The dial is touch-screen and has two buttons for ease of navigation on the side.


The watch is water-resistant, however, its water resistance rating is a bit low when compared to other good smart watches. The watch is easy to use and, navigating between different apps is convenient. Further, it offers health features like activity tracking, GPS, heart rate sensors, and workout stats that will give you a comprehensive look into your daily fitness regime.


It has a range of compatible apps that will let you enjoy the experience fully. The watch enables you to make calls and still offers a battery life of up to 36 hours. It uses Google Wear OS, but that’s blended with Oppo’s own Color OS, and the resultant product functions very smoothly.

For Android Users Who Love Sports

Compatible with both- Apple and Android, Fossil Sport is a watch that gives a rounded experience of a normal smartwatch but stands true to its name by offering fitness options as well. The watch is lightweight with a circular dial and removable straps. 


However, some users note that it does not look as premium as other smartwatches do. It comes with a range of compatible apps. It is better suited for Android users as its functionality decreases with an iPhone. With its highlight fitness tracking features like a built-in GPS and heart rate meter that are decently accurate.


The watch is water-resistant and can be used while swimming. It comes with a round dial with three buttons on the right. The centre button is also a functional crown which can be used to navigate through menus, and the other two buttons can be used to launch applications.

Summary

As fun as the idea of owning a smartwatch is- you must take sometime before you go on to buy your new smartwatch. This piece of technology is super innovative but must be invested in wisely as different watches specialise in different aspects that must be aligned with what you require.
