SMARTWATCHES UNDER 5000 IN INDIA

The CMF Watch Pro by Nothing targets budget consumers. It aims to provide a premium experience with a unique design which is available in Orange, Dark Grey and Ash Grey. Despite some discomfort due to the button placement and edges, the watch is lightweight and has a decent AMOLED display with thick bezels. Its IP68 dust and water resistance add durability.

The CMF Watch app provides essential fitness data and sports modes but lacks variety in watch faces and third-party app support. The monochrome interface might become monotonous.

However, it performs smoothly, and is decent when it comes to health tracking., The watch offers an impressive battery life of up to fourteen days on standby. The charging speed is decent as well. The tiny speaker hinders call quality and the calling experience isn’t great either.

Overall, despite some limitations in the companion app and customization options, it offers a smooth user experience for its price.

The Pebble Cosmos Luxe is an affordable smartwatch with a focus on design, and has a 1.36-inch AMOLED display. The device has two buttons, one of which can be turned to scroll. The smartwatch works with the FitCloudPro app on iOS and Android. Although fitness tracking is iffy, the watch works well as a notifier, and also can be used as a Bluetooth speakerphone thanks to a built-in speaker and microphone. The smartwatch works well for the price, and looks good.

The Realme Watch 2 Pro is the latest smartwatch from the company, and features GPS tracking for more accurate fitness and tracking data.

However, step tracking is a bit inaccurate.

Among the competition, this is a good option to consider for the price, with the quality of the screen and the GPS making this a capable smartwatch at under Rs. 5,000.

The Just Corseca Ray Kanabis has a uniquely rugged design, and is also IP68-rated for dust and water resistance. The smartwatch has a built-in Bluetooth speakerphone system with a speaker and microphone, which can be paired with a smartphone just like a Bluetooth speaker, and used for calls.
