Buyer Advice & Verdict

Start with your phone: iPhone users should get the Apple Watch SE, and Samsung phone owners the Galaxy Watch8. On a budget, decide whether you need GPS. Runners and cyclists should get the boAt Valour Watch 1 GPS, while for calls and notifications a ₹1,500 calling watch is enough. AMOLED screens are much easier to read outdoors than LCD.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need built-in GPS?

Only if you run or cycle without your phone. Watches without GPS can still count steps and use your phone’s GPS when it is nearby.

Will an Apple Watch work with Android?

No. The Apple Watch works only with an iPhone. Android users should choose Samsung or another Android-compatible watch.

Are cheap smartwatches accurate for health?

Budget watches give useful trends for steps, heart rate and sleep, but they are not medical devices. Do not rely on them for diagnosis.
