If you need a smartwatch, which touches the aesthetic of standard analogue digital watch, Honor Magic is the one for you.
It touches the aesthetics of an analogue watch with the round, stainless steel case with engraved tachymeter numbers. Adding to this, there are pre-installed watch faces similar to a classic watch face to complete the look.
In total, nine watch faces are available; you can select any one of them from settings or by long pressing on the home display.
The best thing about this smartwatch under 10000 is its tracking for swimming activities. The 5ATM water-resistant makes it possible. It tracks swimming in two modes: pool swim and open water.
Other than these, it can track outdoor and indoor running, walk, climb, and indoor cycling.

Physical Features and Hardware
The 1.2inch AMOLED display brings the watch faces to life with punchier colours and upright frame rate.
The 179-mAh battery, which takes about two hours to charge, can last up to seven days (on using heart rate monitor), 14 days (on using heart monitor only during exercises), and a day when heart rate monitor and inbuilt GPS are always on. The inbuilt GPS gives it the ability to track your running path.
For charging the smartwatch, a magnetic charging dock with USB Type-C port (provided in the box), takes about two hours.
The two buttons on the right come mapped. The top one, with a red ring, works as the power button, menu button and home button. While the bottom one redirects you to the activity page.
Like the previous smartwatch, this one also does not have a microphone or speaker. Therefore, it can only notify you of an incoming call. You will be required to use your phone to pick the call. Similarly, it vibrates on receiving notifications from other apps. You can also turn on DND mode from quick settings by swiping down.

On the top of the full touch 1.2” display, it has analogue hands.

Further, if you happen to dislike all of the watch faces, you can set watch face of a photo from your phone gallery.

Battery Life

After these three days of smart battery life, it can still show you time and track your activities in its memory for about 30 days.
The only thing you will not be able to do is synchronise the tracking data between your smartwatch and phone until you charge it again.
In short, these two battery modes can saviour for people who went on a trip but forget to carry the charger or at a remote place where you cannot access the electricity.
Titan Connected X App
When you connect it to the Titan Connected X app on your android or iOS device, you get access to some auxiliary features.

Fossil Gen 5
Fossil Explorist 4
If you carefully notice, as of now, none of the featured smartwatches operates on Google’s WearOS. The Galaxy S3 Frontier runs on Samsung’s own Tizen OS while AmazFit Bip Lite and Honor Magic run on their custom OS.
Here is the Fossil Explorer Gen 4, which is also the best WearOS smartwatch available in India.
The stainless steel build with two physical buttons (customizable for quick access) and a crown (for navigating through options; similar to bezels on Galaxy S3 Frontier) does not give an awkward device look.
It more or less reaches to the aesthetics of a classic analogue watch with plenty of Fossil watch faces on a 42mm OLED touch screen. You can download more watch faces from the WearOS app or customise the in-built watch faces.
You can swipe right to access the Google Feed, which features tailored content for your from the calendar and other Google apps.
The screen comes packed in 45mm-rounded case that is about 30mm thick. Among the array of sensors and meters it has, the ambient light sensor is somewhat different. It is not present on most of the competitor smartwatches.
On the downside, the major drawbacks are unavailability of sleep tracker and comparatively low battery life.
In a rare exception, this smartwatch has quick charging support to overcome the dull battery life of about one day.
What also makes this smartwatch special from the rest is the native colour and straps options. As for women, they have a rose gold variant while for admirers of luxurious gold, they have a gold variant.
In all, if you are looking for WearOS based watch, nothing gets better than the Fossil Explorer Smartwatch.

Apple Series 4 Smartwatch
We saved the best of the smartwatches in India for the last. This big beast, coming from the home of Apple is what all you can ask from a full-fledged smartwatch.
Packed with the best fitness features in an enriching design, this smartwatch will bring elegance to your wrist with punchier colours on a rounded screen. Instead of bulkier dimensions, the bigger screen size comes from an improved screen to body ratio.
Like other close-ended Apple products, this smartwatch also doesn’t support third-party watch faces.
This ‘fundamentally redesigned and re-engineered’ smartwatch from its ancestors, has different sizes, improved battery life and louder speakers. The louder speaker and finer placed microphone make the calling experience as well as walkie-talkie mode more convenient.
The ceramic back has the most talked about feature of Apple Watch Series 4: The ECG. It makes a report of your heartbeat rhythm which then can be exported into PDF and can be forwarded to anyone, including your doctor.
Other buzzing features include the digital crown (similar to Fossil Gen 4 Explorist), easier access to Siri, notification for high and low heart rate, fall detection and emergency SOS.
The cellular capabilities of this smartwatch give it liberty to be used without an iPhone nearby.
The 50m water-resistant certification allows you to use it while swimming too.
Apple says the battery life can last up to 18 hours on normal usage or 6 hours of workout mode.
For us, the most exciting part of this smartwatch is the UI and UX. Starting from eye-catching watch faces to the bubbly launcher, it manages the classic Apple design.
It can connect to the iPhone 6 or later running on iOS 12 or later via Bluetooth 5.0.

How to select a smartwatch in India?
The three fundamentals blocks of smartwatches are fitness tracking, notification and time.
Device Compatibility
Before everything else, you have to make sure the smartwatch is compatible with your smartphone. Expect Apple smartwatches, all listed smartwatches in this guide can be used with either an Android device or iPhone.
Even with this compatibility, you might be required to download multiple apps to make it work properly.
Input methods
Due to the small size of the screen, it is not always convenient to use the touch for input or interaction.
Therefore brands have to come up with unique solutions. Like Samsung came with rotating bezel while Apple and Fossil came with digital crowns.
Easier interaction via these additional ways comes at a price. Hence, we have to keep an eye on that too.
Notifications and Calls
One of the fundamental features of any smartwatch is quick access to notification.
Some of the affordable or cheap smartwatches can only show you notifications. They do not allow you to interact with them on the smartwatch itself.
Similarly, some of the smartwatches do not permit you to pick the calls due to the absence of microphone and speaker.
On the other hand, some premium watches have cellular capabilities, which means they can be used to call independent of a smartphone.
Here, you have to prioritise what you want from a smartwatch. Do you want a fitness tracking device or a combination of both a fitness tracking as well as a communication device?
Hardware
The primary reason for using a smartwatch is the health benefits it brings. You have to know about various sensors in the hardware to understand how the smartwatch keeps track of your health.
Smartwatches come with a heart rate sensor to detect irregularities in your heart rate.
Besides, they could include a pedometer (for measuring steps), sleep tracking software, sports activity tracker, GPS for route tracking and sitting hours among others.
Watch Faces
One of the cool things about smartwatches is that you can change the watch face as you like.
All smartwatches come preloaded with plenty of watch faces. Some of them are classic while others are a bundle of information with a bunch of colours.
Here, you have to keep an eye on flexibility. Does the smartwatch allow support to third party watches? Does it allow to customise the preloaded watch faces? Are there licensed watch faces?
Battery Life
Expect to few smartwatches, the major drawback in most of the smartwatches is battery life. Usually, the battery lasts for a day or two.
Therefore, you have to charge the smartwatch almost every night.
If you want battery life, you will need to compromise on the features like GPS, punchier colours on the screen, magnetic sensor, LTE connectivity.
