A smartwatch under ₹10,000 can do considerably more than count steps and display phone notifications. Depending on the model, you can get built-in GPS for outdoor workouts, an AMOLED screen, Bluetooth calling, detailed fitness tracking and battery life that stretches across several days. The choice, however, depends on what you will actually use. A watch designed around fitness tracking may offer a different experience from one focused on calls, apps or everyday convenience. Here in this article, I bring together seven options from Noise, OnePlus, Motorola, boAt, realme, Amazfit and Redmi. Their features vary, so it is worth checking compatibility, battery claims and the fitness tools on offer before settling on a model.
