How benchmarksutra rates smartwatches and fitness bands: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Wearable Score rates 7 smartwatches and fitness bands sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 13 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 13 November 2026). We did not test these smartwatches and fitness bands ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Wearable Score works.
What we rate
Battery life. The maker's stated battery life for typical use, in days. 14 days or more rates 100; the curve is square-root, so 7 days rates 71 and one day rates 27.
GPS. Dual-band GPS 100, built-in GPS 75, GPS borrowed from your phone 30.
Water and dust rating. 5 ATM (or 50 m) rates 80; an added IP68 dust rating takes it to 100; IP68 alone rates 55.
Health sensors listed. Sensors the maker lists: heart rate 25, SpO2 20, ECG 25, skin temperature 15, body composition 15. We count features, not accuracy, and none of these is a medical device.
Calls from the wrist. Can you take a call on the watch itself (Bluetooth calling)? Yes 100, no 0. Call alerts alone do not count.
Weight. Body weight the maker states. 15 g rates 100; each extra gram costs 2.5 points.
Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest product in the list (a gentle curve, so a dearer watch is not wiped out).
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own product or spec page for battery life, GPS, water rating, sensors, calling and weight. Retail listings are used only for the price. Where a maker page leaves something out, that row is left out and the weights re-spread.
A note on health features
We count the health sensors a maker lists. We do not rate how accurate they are, and none of these devices is a medical device. Some features, such as ECG, depend on the country and on your phone. Check the maker's page before you buy for a specific feature.
