SMARTWATCHES UNDER 25000 IN INDIA

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 smartwatch brings a premium design at this price segment. The device offers a lightweight design, and the aluminium alloy makes it sturdy in this segment. The silicone straps are comfortable to wear throughout the day. The display is bright enough for outdoor conditions, while the whole interface is smooth and fluid. Interestingly, the smartwatch also comes with Google Gemini, which makes it one of the first smartwatches to come with AI features. Moreover, the watch is loaded with multiple health-centric features, which make it one of the best smartwatches you can buy in 2025.

The Fitbit Versa 4 comes across as a bit basic for the price, at least in terms of hardware. However, when combined with the excellent Premium subscription service and the fitness data analysis in the app, the device is considerably more capable, especially for health enthusiasts looking to benefit from the vast data and analysis on offer. The device itself is decent in terms of tracking accuracy for steps and sleep, although heart-rate tracking is a bit unreliable.

The Fitbit Versa 4 can communicate with Alexa and also receive incoming calls on device from the paired smartphone. It's a worthwhile tracker for health enthusiasts, but many might prefer a full-fledged smartwatch at this price instead.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is the company's premium smartwatch offering, with a titanium case, and Bluetooth-only and LTE connectivity options. The smartwatch is powered by Wear OS 3.5 with Samsung's OneUI Watch on top. With premium smartwatch functionality, accurate fitness tracking, and excellent design and build quality, this is among the best smartwatches that you can buy right now for Android. That said, it is a bit expensive, and the lack of support for iOS is a bit disappointing.

The Michael Kors Gen 6 Bradshaw is powered by Wear OS, and is priced at Rs. 24,995 in India. The smartwatch looks great, and Wear OS is a great full-fledged smartwatch platform which enables a number of apps including the Google suite and more. However, the smartwatch has iffy fitness and health tracking, and sub-par battery life that might mean you have to charge the device twice a day. 

Although beautiful to look at, and fitting into a unique niche of being a smartwatch that works with formal wear, the Michael Kors Gen 6 Bradshaw falls short of competition such as the Apple Watch series and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
