At ₹5999, the boAt Valour Watch 1 GPS offers a compelling package with its stunning AMOLED display, built-in GPS, and impressive 15-day battery life. However, the lack of a speaker and microphone for Bluetooth calling (despite some marketing claims) and the absence of a camera are notable omissions. The AI gym mode is a gimmick that works only for basic exercises, and the watch faces are limited. If you prioritize display and battery over smart features, it's a decent buy, but for the price, you can get better-equipped rivals from Noise or Amazfit.
