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 OnePlus Watch 2 is available in just one case size and in two colourways. Its case is made from stainless steel and its display face is made from 2.5D sapphire crystal. The watch is also 5ATM resistant, IP68 certified and MIL-STD-810H certified making it very durable in all weather conditions.

The watch is powered by not one but two processors and two operating systems. The watch runs Google’s Wear OS smartwatch software as well as RTOS. The two operating systems switch seamlessly, with the former being used mainly when opening or running third-party apps.

Battery life thanks to its dual-processor architecture is quite good and the same goes for charging speeds which are well above average.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic offers a design which is nearly identical to the previous model. You do get a bigger display on the 47mm model and since the case size has not increased a thinner bezel as well. Samsung has also brought back the rotating bezel.

The companion apps which are preinstalled on Samsung devices are well designed and sync and work well with the smartwatch. Setup is not too difficult on a non-Samsung smartphone, but there is one Samsung exclusive feature which is reserved for Samsung devices.

Battery life is quite good overall, with the watch easily lasting a one and half days with the always on display feature switch on and a little less than two days with the always on display switched off.

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.

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.
