Budget Smartwatch Buying Guide 2023: Top Four Affordable Smartwatches Under Rs 3000

3 minute read

Smartwatches are far from a basic technological accessory. Now you can spend up to Rs 1,00,000 or get a smartwatch for Rs 1000. However, different smartwatches cater to different use cases, especially when it comes to budget deals, and thousands of deals are available on Flipkart and Amazon.

Here are some things to consider when buying a budget smartwatch:

Make sure it comes from a reputable brand. This ensures that the watch you receive works as expected and also ensures that the watch can be repaired and replaced if something goes wrong. Several Indian brands sell smartwatches in the country, most of which are imported from China.

Look for health-based features. While you shouldn't expect a budget smartwatch to offer ECG or BP sensors, it should at least have a basic heart rate sensor, SpO2 sensor, and pedometer. With these functions, the smartwatch can measure your heart rate, blood oxygen saturation and accurately count your steps in real time.

Get one with GPS. If you walk, jog or run a lot, it is recommended to get a smartwatch with a GPS sensor that can accurately measure your exercise. Most smartwatches costing more than Rs 3000 today offer GPS sensors. However, keep in mind that GPS uses a lot of battery.
