first of all, Why would you want to buy a smartwatch?

The first thing you need to do before buying a smartwatch is to decide why you want to buy it.

Number 1: Are you a sports person, looking to buy a smartwatch to track your daily activities? For example, if you are a swimmer, then your smartwatch needs to be at least 5 ATM waterproof. Also, if you do a lot of outdoor activities then you need to have GPS in your smartwatch.

Number 2: There may be another reason to buy your smartwatch, you may be busy all day, maybe you have to work all day standing. So in that case it becomes difficult to attend all the calls and notifications with mobile in hand. So if you want to get a smartwatch for these reasons, then the smartwatch should have the option of receiving calls, or quick reply to the message etc.

Number 3: There may be another reason to buy your smartwatch, it is a current trend and everyone wants to change to smartwatch by replacing analog watches, so that’s why you want to buy a smartwatch.

Of course, any one of them can be your reason, so you have to decide first. And at the same time, you need to shortlist some of the features in the smartwatch that you can use. If you have a big budget then maybe you will get many features in one smartwatch but if your budget is low then you have to pay attention to it.

Before buying a smartwatch, you must first determine why you want to buy it.

Number 1: Maybe you're a sports person, and you need a smartwatch to track a variety of sports. Or you are a swimmer, you want a waterproof smartwatch that you can use while swimming, in which case your smartwatch needs to be at least 5 ATM waterproof. As well as, If you do a lot of outdoor activity, you may need a smartwatch with inbuilt GPS. Smartwatch with GPS costs a little more.

Number 2: Maybe you are busy all day, and don't get time to use your mobile in between work. But you want to stay up to date with calls and notifications. In that case, you can use a smartwatch. In that case, you may want to have Bluetooth calling features or Quick Reply features in your smartwatch. So you have to notice it.

Number 3: Maybe you want to buy a smartwatch because it is the current trend. Now everyone wants to buy a digital watch instead of an analog watch.

So whatever the reason may be, just find out which features are important to you.

Budget:

An important thing that forces you to keep your limits. Of course, your budget is not unlimited, so you have to think about your budget before you buy. And I know you already have that in mind. This article is about Smartwatch Buying Guide.

Price:

Second you have to decide your budget. If your budget is high then you can easily get a feature rich smartwatch, but if your budget is low then you have to make some Sacrifice. For example, if you want a smartwatch with GPS and AMOLED display but your budget is 5000 rupees. In that case you have to choose one-between these two features, which is important to you. But if your budget is 7000 rupees then you can easily get two features in one smartwatch.

Dial Type:

There are two types of dial smartwatches available to us, one is round dial and the other is square dial. Before you buy a smartwatch, you have to decide which dial type you like or which one is perfect for your hands.

Because maybe the smartwatch is perfect for you in terms of features but it may not be suitable for your hands. Here is a suggestion for you, if you are a girl or if your wrist is narrow then round dial may not be perfect for you, or in this case small dial smartwatches should be your choice.

Here, two types of dials are available - one is round dial and the other is square dial. Now, you have to decide which type will fit your hand. If your wrist is narrow, a round dial smartwatch may look bigger on your hand. So in this case if you are a girl, or if your wrist is narrow then you should take a smartwatch with a square dial. For thick wrists, round or square dials are fine. You can choose as you like.

Build Quality:

Along with features, you should also focus on build quality. If your budget is low then fine, but if your budget is a bit high then I would say you should buy a smartwatch with metallic build quality. Because, the metallic build smartwatches look good and the biggest reason is that they are very durable and long-lasting.

Built-in quality should be considered when buying a smartwatch because usually, we buy a smartwatch with a few years in mind. So in that case the built quality needs to be strong. If your budget is very low then there is no other option, but to take a polycarbonate-built smartwatch. If the budget is a bit high you should buy a smartwatch with a metallic built. Because these are beautiful to look at and long-lasting.

Display Quality:

While it is a smart-watch, you must use it on outdoors. So, in that case, the display needs to be bright and with it high resolution so that you can use it well outdoors. There are two types of displays either IPS LCD display or AMOLED display, if your budget is more than 5000 or 6000 then I would say you must buy a smartwatch with an AMOLED display. Because with an AMOLED smartwatch you can feel a decent color display. If the rest of your budget is less than 5000 rupees, you can definitely take a smartwatch with an IPS display, just notice that the brightness and resolution need to be a little higher.

In premium smartwatches, you can find OLED displays. You will often find LCD screens with affordable smartwatches. Some midrange smartwatches (under Rs. 5000) offer you AMOLED displays which are better than LCD displays. Also, smartwatches with LCD displays can offer a less battery life than OLED or AMOLED smartwatches, and the brightness and sharpness of OLED or AMOLED smartwatches is much more impressive than LCD displays. But if your budget is low then you should choose a smartwatch with an LCD display, then you should focus on display resolution and brightness.

User interface:

In case of UI, I will not talk about Apple Watch here because there is very nice UI support. But in the case of Android Watch, you will see a lot of different variations because each brand has its own UI that supports Android. So it is very important when buying a smart watch that you pay attention to UI.

In the case of the Apple Watch, I would say that the beautiful features are all very good, but for all these reasons, the battery life of those smartwatches is very short, which is why I personally do not like it.
