There are several models under Rs. 10,000 from brands such as Noise, CMF, Amazfit, Huawei and Boat.
CMF Watch 3 Pro supports more than 130 sports modes
Built-in GPS is no longer limited to expensive smartwatches, and there are now several options available for under Rs. 10,000. These watches can track walks, runs and cycling sessions without relying on a connected smartphone for location data. Most of them also cover the basics, including heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, sleep tracking and multiple workout modes. Some come with AMOLED displays and longer battery life, so there is quite a bit to choose from in this segment.
These include the NoiseFit Endeavour Pro, CMF Watch 3 Pro, Amazfit Bip 6, Huawei Band 11 Pro and Boat Valour Watch 1 GPS. Here is what each smartwatch offers.
The NoiseFit Endeavour Pro has a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with a 466x466 pixel resolution and 1,000 nits of peak brightness. It has titanium alloy bezels, and users can change its watch face through the NoiseFit app. For outdoor workouts, the watch comes with dual-band GPS and support for five satellite systems. It also covers the usual health tracking features, including heart rate, SpO2, HRV, stress and sleep monitoring. There are multiple sports modes to choose from, along with a built-in torch.
Noise has fitted the watch with a 530mAh battery, which is claimed to last up to 10 days. It also carries a 5 ATM water resistance rating, so swimming is on the list of supported activities.
The NoiseFit Endeavour Pro is priced at Rs. 9,999 in India. It is available in Carbon Black and Driftstone Beige colour options and can be purchased through Amazon and other retail channels.
The CMF Watch 3 Pro has a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate, up to 670 nits of brightness and more than 120 watch faces to choose from.

You also get Bluetooth calling, quick replies and music and camera controls. The Nothing X app lets you sync health data with services such as Strava and Apple Health. Its 350mAh battery is rated to last up to 13 days, although this drops to around 4.5 days with the always-on display enabled.
Available in Dark Grey, Light Green, Light Grey and Orange colourways, the CMF Watch 3 Pro costs Rs. 7,999 in India. It is on sale through Flipkart and select offline retail stores.
