The biggest highlight is the watch comes with inbuilt GPS support. Along with GPS, it also supports some other location services: GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. The GPS is very responsive and quite accurate, so next time you don’t need to take your smartphone for outdoor activities such as running or cycling.

Starting with design and build, the watch has a squarish-shaped dial with elegantly curved corners. This smartwatch has a plastic build body with a matte finish over it. This smartwatch comes packed along with a pair of silicone straps that are well-built and comfortable enough to be worn for long hours. Also, the watch is pretty lightweight and weighs only 37 grams.

Coming to display, the watch features a 1.55-inch (320×360 pixels) LCD color touch screen panel with up to 450 nits brightness and 2D glass. The display is not AMOLED but offers good color production and brightness. The top layer of the display is protected by a 2.5D glass coating. The display is surrounded by thick bezels, which is my only major complaint about this Redmi watch.

The Redmi Watch 2 Lite has 110+ fitness modes, including 17 professional workout modes that include Outdoor Running, Treadmill, Walking, Outdoor Cycling, Hiking, Jumba, Yoga, and Pool Swimming. Apart from this, it also has all the necessary fitness tracking features including continued heart tracking, Spo2 tracking, stress tracking, and sleep tracking. The watch also supports third-party fitness apps like Google Fit, Apple Health, and Strava.

It can also help you find your connected smartphone, receive calls and messages and some other app notifications, along with the ability to control music and phone camera. The watch is also loaded with some other tools like menstrual cycle tracking, Weather, Breathing Control, Alarm, stopwatch, timer, compass, and flashlight.

If you ask me what is the biggest problem you face in a budget smartwatch then my answer would be the app support and accuracy. And these are the main reasons behind the first position of this smartwatch. The step tracking and sleep tracking are quite accurate compared to other smartwatches in this price range.

The watch uses the Mi Fit app that is available on both android and iOS platforms. This is one of the best fitness apps on the market, and you can’t ignore that fact. The app is very easy to use and loaded with tons of fitness-related features. I adore the amount of detail you get in the app with the status page giving you a fair idea about your daily activity and some other daily trackings.

The app offers you all the necessary watch settings along with 100+ watch faces. You also have the option to set custom watch faces. Now coming to the battery, it has a 262 mah battery that can last up to 4-5 days on moderate use. It also supports a quick charging feature.

Overall, The Redmi Watch 2 Lite is a good smartwatch with GPS at a price of Rs. 4999. The decent accuracy, several workout modes, and 5ATM water resistance rating are also prime reasons to buy this watch.

Another best smartwatch under 5000 Rs is the new Realme Watch 2. Like the previous smartwatch, it also comes with an Inbuilt GPS for accurate statistics regarding distance, pace, and location for outdoor activity.

On the design front, the watch looks very stylish and premium with a squarish design (similar to the Apple watch) and noticeable bezels surrounding the display. The build quality of the watch is decent and justifies the price tag. I like to add that, the watch is very comfortable for day-to-day use, thanks to the soft silicone strap belt and lightweight build. The smartwatch also has IP68 water resistance.

Coming to display, the Realme Watch 2 comes with a 1.75-inch large screen with 320×285-pixel resolutions, a 30fps refresh rate, and a rated peak brightness of 600 nits. The display is considerably sharper than those on any of the other budget smartwatches I’ve reviewed recently; text, icons, and watch faces look sharp and detailed.

The battery is another prime point of this Realme smartwatch. It has a 390 mAh battery that is enough to power the watch for up to 12 days on normal usage. Yes, It also supports a quick charge.

Apart from this, Realme’s UI and interface for the Watch 2 Pro are about as simple and easy to use. It has all the required fitness features like activity tracking, sleep and workout tracking, heart rate, and SpO2 monitoring. It also has up to 90 sports modes and some other daily use features like an alarm, stopwatch, weather, breathing control, and much more.

The accuracy is also decent and all fitness features work perfectly. The inbuilt GPS is very helpful for daily outdoor activity. As the first smartwatch, the companion app is one of the biggest highlights of this watch. The watch requires the Realme Link app which is available on both android and iOS platforms.

The app is very easy to use and loaded with tons of features. You have 100+ watch faces, daily activity tracking info with a detailed report, third-party fitness app support, and all the basic watch-related settings. It is worth mentioning that there is no data synchronization or connectivity-related problem detected on the app or watch side.

Overall, the Realme Watch 2 Pro is a really good smartwatch at this price point with a big good quality display, stylish design, and powerful app. Yes, the good battery life and inbuilt GPS is also the main reasons behind buying Realme Watch 2 Pro.

Now moving forward on our list of best smartwatches under 5000 Rs, we have the Dizo Watch R and before you ask me what Dizo is, it is Realme’s partner brand that falls under the ‘Techlife’ ecosystem. This watch costs around INR 4,000 and comes with an AMOLED display which is quite rare in this budget segment.

The watch looks very premium and well built, thanks to the slim metal frame and minimal design that it follows. The metal body is nicely built and beautifully flaunts the 2.5D curved display. Even the straps are made of high-quality silicone which is flexible and comfortable at the same time. It does not itch your skin even when worn for long hours which is a very common problem I have found out in the watches of this price segment. The buttons are nicely placed and give nice tactile feedback when you press them. The watch is also waterproof with 5 ATM resistance which makes it safe from accidentally dropping your watch in water but swimming with it for too long might not be the best thing to do.

Coming on to the display, Dizo has offered a 1.3-inch AMOLED panel which is one of the prime selling points of the smartwatch. This display not only sounds good on the paper but also does a phenomenal job on the actual grounds. It has a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels along with a max brightness of 550 nits which makes it easily visible even under direct sunlight. Dizo has also included an always-on display mode which is one of my personal favorite features.

The Dizo Watch R also performs well on the health tracking aspects and has all the basic features that you might need in your day-to-day life. It tracks your heart rate, tracks your steps, records your sleep data, and even monitors your SPO2 levels throughout the day. It has more than 110 sports tracking modes that I believe are more than what you will be able to use.

The user interface of the watch is pretty neat as well, it works like charm with no noticeable lags or stutters. The two buttons come in handy to easily navigate the interface. The touch responds nicely and you will have no issues browsing the interface. One thing I do need to mention is that it has a small amount of character support which means Hindi texts and emojis are not going to show up in the notifications. It is not much of an issue, especially at this price segment but you should be aware of it.

Since we are talking about the interface, I will quickly give you an overview of the companion app that you need to install in order to get your data synchronized with your smartphone. The companion app works nicely and uses Bluetooth to pair itself up with your smartwatch. It easily synchronizes with your watch and quickly displays all the readings in a convenient way. You can use the app to set up calls and app notifications, set up alarms, set reminders, and even change watch faces.

Finally coming to the battery life, Dizo says that it can last for up to 12 days on typical use meanwhile with the AOD and 24×7 heart rate tracking on, it can last for about 2 days which is okay when compared to the other options in the same price range. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge itself up.

So overall, the Dizo Watch R makes a good choice for you if want a good-looking smartwatch with an AMOLED display panel. Yes, you will miss the in-built GPS tracking that the above two watches had but that is not a deal-breaker either.

The Realme Watch S is our next selection on the list of best Smartwatches under 5000 Rs. After a successful journey in the smartphone, Realme is also trying to make an impact in the smart wearables market. It enters this new territory with the release of the Realme Watch in may and now they have launched the Realme Watch S with upgraded specs and technology to enrich customer experience.

One of the first things you will notice in the watch is its round form factor which we think is Realme’s deliberate attempt to give vintage look to the watch. In addition to its first watch, it has added some advanced features such as auto-brightness control, an aluminum frame, and 390 mAh for better battery backup.

The display of a watch is a 1.3-inch IPS LCD with 360* 360-pixel resolution but you may face difficulties with the touch screen because of its inconsistent responsiveness taps. The inbuilt auto-brightness will come in handy during day time. The traditional watch strap with buckle is easily interchangeable with any 22mm strap which is great to customize as per your needs.

Finally, at the bottom of our list, sits the Realme TechLife Watch S100 which is practically one of the most affordable smartwatches on our list and is one of the recently released smartwatches that I got my hands on. This watch is priced at INR. 2500 and you can check our detailed review here.

Well, the watch looks good with the square dimensions and has a plastic build with a matte finish over it which gives it a pleasing look. The plastic build helps in keeping it lightweight and which overall helps in making the watch comfortable. The straps are made of average quality silicone but are quite comfortable. The watch is waterproof as well as it comes with an IP68 rating which means you can expect it to easily handle a few water splashes.

Moving on to the display, Realme has offered a 1.69-inch TFT display which comes with a max resolution of 240 x 280 pixels and offers a max brightness of 530 nits. The display is pretty average and acceptable for its price. However, the display is surrounded by noticeably thick bezels which can be easily noticed especially when the screen is turned on.

The interface of the watch is pretty neat and simple which is one of the strong points of the watch. it has no unnecessary animations which make it look a bit basic but make it lag-proof which is a good thing. You get 4 in-built watch faces which you can quickly change and can use the app to get more than 100 extra watch faces.

The watch can easily take care of your fitness needs as well as it comes loaded with almost all the basic features like daily activity tracking, steps tracking, calories tracking, sleep tracking, and even body temperature monitoring. You also get continuous heart rate tracking, weather updates, music controls, SPO2 tracking, and more than 20 activities that you can choose to track. When connected with the phone, you can even get apps and call notifications.

The companion app has a similar minimal user interface and easily synchronizes data without any issues which is a good point as most similarly priced smartwatches have companion apps that are full of bugs and are barely usable. Lastly, it comes with a 260 mAh battery that can last for about 4 days which is good enough for daily usage.

Overall, the Realme TechLife Watch S100 makes a good choice for the folks who are a little tight on budget and looking for a good smartwatch that can easily take care of their daily needs.
