SMARTWATCHES UNDER 20000 IN INDIA

The OnePlus Watch 2R is available in single case size and so may end up being a bit too large on smaller wrists. Its vintage-looking design uses aluminium with a brushed metal finish that offers good water and dust resistance against the elements.

The watch is powered by two processors and two operating systems. These operating seamlessly switch in the default Smart mode, providing a Wear OS interface for running third-party apps and a less power-hungry RTOS interface for fitness and health tracking (manually accessible via Power saver mode).

The Watch 2R can be paired with Oppo’s OHealth companion app, which provides a clean interface and syncs all health and fitness-related data to the smartphone and to the cloud.

Health monitoring features are accurate and the watch can also track short naps apart from the usual sleep monitoring features. Battery life is very impressive especially when used in the Smart mode and can be extended even further when used in Power saver mode.

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 Fossil Machine Gen 6 Hybrid is the latest in the company's range of hybrid smartwatches, and has an e-ink display and battery life of two weeks per charge. The smartwatch works well with both iOS and Android through the companion app, which can be used to change the wallpaper and widgets for the e-ink display, among other things.

There is also Alexa support, as well as excellent health and fitness tracking. Although the smartwatch does feel a bit heavy, the good looks and functionality make this an excellent smartwatch for the price.

The OnePlus Watch is claimed to come with a round 46mm dial. It is tipped to feature an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. It  may offer features like automatic workout detection, sleep tracking, stress tracking, and a swimming mode. The smartwatch is also said to have heart rate and SpO2 sensors onboard.  

The OnePlus Watch may launch in Black and Silver colour options. It may also be used as a remote control for the OnePlus TV models, and is tipped to come with the company’s Warp Charge technology that is claimed to provide a week’s charging in 20 minutes.
