While having a Smartwatch was more of a novelty item of a luxury add-on to your smartphone a couple of years ago, the scene has changed now and for a lot of people, a smartwatch is a basic necessity.
Smart Watches come in all brands, types, forms, and sizes. In the earlier days, most of the smartwatches either ran on the WatchOS by Apple or Android Wear, however, this has changed over the years and we increasingly see manufacturers use their own custom software on their smartwatches.
We have also seen Samsung make their shift to TizenOS for their smartwatches, other brands including Fitbit, and Huami Amazfit also use their custom software on their smartwatch and connect them to the compatible smartphones.
While having a unified operating system for these type of wearables allow developers to develop amazing applications as in the case of Android Wear, most of the brands do not seem to mind the lack of third party applications and are striving to deliver Watches with their custom software.
If you are looking to buy a new Smartwatch in India then there are multiple options that you can choose from, this list shows you the top five options that include the best smartwatches in India.
