Wearable technology has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to monitor their fitness, and stay connected. In India, there are a variety of wearable devices available at different price points. The good news is that you don’t have to break the bank to get your hands on a good wearable. In this article, we will take a look at some of the best wearables under Rs 5000 in India.
Things to keep in mind when buying wearables
Build Quality and Comfort: Unlike a smartphone, a wearable is designed to be worn on your body. As such, you need to make sure that the device is comfortable on your wrist. The wearable should also look good and the build quality should also be decent, as we are replacing our traditional watches with it.
Health features: Most wearables tend to offer multiple health and fitness monitoring features. If you are planning to purchase the device specifically for health tracking, then ensure that the device is capable of tracking it well with features such as a built-in GPS.
Companion app: This is something that many people overlook when buying a wearable. The companion app on your smartphone is how you will interact and control multiple features of the app. It is also how you retrieve data from the wearable, which is why it is very important to know how the UX and UI of the application is.
Display: A wearable is ultimately a watch with multiple features built in. So, if your watch doesn’t have a good display to see what time of the day it is, what’s the point? So make sure your watch has a display that gets decently bright during the day and dim enough to be comfortable at night.
