Hello,

Respected Members,

How are you? I am searching a Smartwatch or SmartBand for a Women, my budget is Rs.3000 max, I want good Screen preferably AMOLED having Good Battery life and the all the sensors like
Sleep, So2, Steps, Heart Rate, etc. should be accurate. So, Please Advise, I don't want to buy some Garbage on the name of Smartwatch who just have some fancy features but forget the actual functionality of SmartWatch. Hope to see replies soon. Thank You.

There is no smartwatch under 3k. All those are circle/square shaped overpriced fitness trackers. I am still using a Mi Band 3 and don't want to change it unless I can find something actually worthy of the price.

Hello,
@SaiyanGoku

Thanks for this reply, I know there is no Smartwatch comes under Rs.3000, but many companies sell their Garbage on the name of Smartwatch, and Peoples buy that stuff too, because only some peoples know the definition of Smartwatch but what to do? Anyways, Can you please suggest some Fitness Tracker or Band having most of the Sensors under Rs.3000, If possible Screen should be big. Hope to see a reply soon. Thank You.

I haven't been in touch with Indian market since 2023. Sorry, I won't be of much help. All I can say is I'd go with Amazfit/Mi band given I've been using their old one.

Smart band or watch all are same.. under 10k.
There is newly launched watch which have camera and sim support.
Check on Amazon.

Or else buy samsung watch 4 lte for best smartwatch uses.
Wear os, updates, calling..
But weak battery.
Near accurate data compared to all watches.

Otherwise all watches have same features of smart bands.

I think Galaxy Watch 4 goes for under 7k.

Else, maybe look at that CMF watch pro at 3k.

Hello,

How are you? I checked the Xiaomi Watch 5 Lite in local store, but it looks very big on the wrist of my Friend, so I dropped an idea of buying this, Can you please tell Is there any band that I can buy? or Should I wait for Xiaomi Band 9? Is there any info regarding this? Hope to see a reply from you soon.

Thank You.

Mi Band 9 is nice upgrade if pricing is right. It is not coming in India though.

They are no longer getting it manufactured from amazfit/huami and have also made their own watch is.

Ig will have to get it brought it here by some relative as importing customs are too high.
