The Indian smartwatch market is so chaotic that it's getting confusing for users to decide what's real. These brands import watches from China and sell them here in India for 10 times more prices than what they should be. The data these smartwatches provide is very inaccurate so it just doesn't make any sense to buy these cheap smartwatches. So here's a breakdown of why you should stop buying these fraud smartwatches.

Well, lemme share my experience. I went to the local watch shop to buy a watch, and I was asking for a simple analogue titan watch(my budget was around 7000). The shop owner tried to convince me again and again to buy a smartwatch, saying "you're a gen z guy, analogue watches are for older people". As I'm aware of this "import from China" story, I asked some questions about the same, and the shopkeeper was really offended. 😂
Some Shopkeepers will always try to sell the most flashy products which lack quality 😂
a simple chrono analogue watch is really cool bro. I too like to wear
Here im using a digital casio watch
I have an analog watch which is ~10 years old. The only things that are changed are leather straps, the crown and battery. I doubt a smart watch will last this long. Because electronics become outdated very soon from both hardware and software aspects. One of My grandfather had allwyn watch. I told him to give it to me if he ever thought of giving it to some one.😁
Bhai apki video me imaandaary dikhti hai
It takes a lot of courage to speak against the companies that are promoted by such big names . Glad that you spit the truth. Totally agree 💯 with you.
This is the first youtuber i have ever seen that is speaking straight to the point and is a no nonsense guy
In the era of digital watches I still love to use analog ❤️
Just like chappri logo ne iphones leke uski brand image hurt kari kahi na kahi,, usi tarh har dusre bande ke hath me smartwatch "so called" dekh ke mann bhi nahi karta lene ka..
hume to Timex ki 500 wali analog hi pasand hai...watch ka kaam h time dikhana jo Timex badi shiddat se krti hai...baki showoff walo se duniya bhari padi hai...
as a watch collector, I've tried smartwatches. used it for around 4-5 months. it's terribly unnecessary and got annoyed when i had to charge it every single day. an automatic watch needs a hand wind or a shake after two days and takes about 30 seconds max, whereas it'd take 2-3 hours for a smartwatch to fully juice up. it doesn't make sense. but have to admit how a lot of people wears a watch at least for the sake of smartwatches
Same bro
same, I'm also using fastrack analog from last 8 yrs. Only have to change cell after 1.5 yrs. Analog watches have different class.
One more concern is the privacy of this user's data. It's scary thinking what these companies would be do with it.
with fake health data ?
@@zayankokathey have access to your phone right?..they ask your phone's notification access to show notifications in your watch
when the tracking is bad and inaccurate what the hell will they do with the data
Online privacy is a myth, even with high end vendors like Apple. If you are online, you aren't 100% safe. It's just that some companies offer "more" safety than others.
@@AlwaysDepressed28 to use a smartwatch you'll install the app to make the watch work, and the data on you smartphone will be shared with the app so you know the rest right !
Wasn't expecting much when I clicked the link, but this video was quite insightful. That's for making this. In a volatile, price-sensitive, "aspirational" market where the masses prefer to buy cheap, flashy products just to look cool, trying to imitate popular culture instead of buying quality goods out of their own interest & saving up to buy those things - quality goods can never go mainstream - as there will be several imitators in competition selling inferior goods for cheap. It's in our own interest to know what the prices of certain products are currently (as offered by good companies), and to buy goods selectively, instead of letting our insecurities ruin our overall quality of experience & peace of mind, giving fame/money to companies/CEOs who clearly don't deserve it.
One of the biggest red flags in a smart watch review is when the app itself is not reviewed as 50% of the function is app and software related, but if you notice no one ever reviews the app and software
Shi kha Bhai bhagwaan ram tumhe khush rkhe
Yaar apps are terrible like terrrrrible
I always believed in The Classic smart watches since the start. I never really liked any of boat fire bolt thing 🤡 yet I'll still prefer Samsung Watch :)

I realised this couple years ago and searched on youtube about this, literally there’s not a single video. Now I’m very glad this video is produced. Majority of people who buy this watches don’t even use it except to check time that too very rare case. I don’t even recommend these watches to anyone. Need a smartwatch get apple or samsung or pixel as simple as that. Can’t afford it, just wait for sales. I really love the LTE variant watches , it just gives a relief to leave the phone anywhere and use the same number through watch, that’s how actual calling support should work on watches
This guy is a gem. You are need of the hour to awaken people for abstaining themselves from fruad products. Good job Man !❤❤❤
Samsung users ✋🏻❤️🙏🏻
the research + the amazing sentence formation and the script = a truly honest tech channel
That I stuck to normal digital or analog watch, which runs atleast 5 years with rough use and no compromise in quality, brands like casio has good watch starts at 1000INR... If you have budget of galaxy watch or iWatch then only it is worth every buck
iWatch 😂
Same here never bought a smartwatch still rocking the titan analog watches Even i think exactly the same that if am ever gonna buy smartwatch it will we when i can afford to buy a premium branded ones
Same for me. I love my analogue watch. It looks classy
Yupp after my experience with these cheap smartwatches i m gonna buy an analog watch from casio
I've tried Casio and G Shock and both are impressive. Casio helps you ace the formal look while G Shock has more longetivity and helps you aces the sporty look.
I have switched to samsung ecosystem....already had galaxy watch 4 classic and recently got S23 ultra and Galaxy Buds 2...it's expensive but it's worth it
I also have the galaxy 4 classic 46mm watch. I think it's the second best android smartwatch after galaxy 6 classic now. The UI experience is so premium. Haven't regretted a single bit after buying it for 18k 4 months back.
There are lot of good earbud brands like Jabra who aren't even very expensive. My Jabra Elite 3 was only 3k from Tata Cliq. And i see people buy Boat or any garbage earbuds from mobile phone brands with absolute garbage sound signatures
Thanks for sharing your richness
Do the s22 and s23 overheat? Is that a problem?
Then what about me? I use iPhone 12 and watch 4
This video reminded me of the beast I once possessed, the mighty MI3🔥 The phone that changed indian smartphone market forever as well as changed the definition of value for money
You earned a new subscriber bro. Great work, keep it up👍
The biggest red flag here is these companies launch watches and earbuds almost every week and each new iteration is hardly any different from the last one. If you guys really want to get a real smartwatch in a budget under Rs 10K, Go for the Galaxy Watch 4! Great video bud!
I prefer classic watches,that only shows us the time ,We already live in a society where people are addicted to technology,it would be better to not have a small dopamine producer on my arm

Great content with amazing research 🔬.. truly appreciated bhai.. we are with you.
Honestly if you will make this kind of content continuously I will be your biggest support. Love the confidence!
Great Video, Private labelling is not bad, to be honest. India as a market is huge, and so is the demand. There are tons of Chinese manufacturers who have already done a lot of R&D and making really great products. If someone in India finds a niche where they can target a customer base and provide a great product, then it's fine if it's privately labelled because ultimately customer needs a great product and service no matter if the R&D is done by them or 3rd party. The problem comes when the brand over-promises and spends more money on marketing than customer service. Import great products, market them and provide the customer with excellent service, make money and start working on R&D and building products In India for the world.
Nice video. Which is the best smart watch recommended by you?
I seriously liked his killer confidence & the way he explained the things... Subscribed 👍
Gone through this mess personally too! Reverted to using my Casio GShock watch, which is NOT a smart watch. Well constructed video!
We need such people who can be such realities in front of everyone !! 👏
The person who are using smart watches are commenting on this video
I discovered this video by chance but liked it totally. U vl grow up as a tech master in India...hats off to ur knowledge n research. 😊
A similar incident happened with #JBL. They picked up the original earphones last year and returned a local one used by someone else.
Its high time that someone spoke the truth about the so called affordable smartwatches. Basic thing that people forget while buying is the the fact of how much accuracy the device has regarding tracking 😅 also to note that all the info stored while installing a Chinese app is obviously going to be sold. I was planning on getting a fossil gen6 a couple of months before, but then realised the fact that these items gets outdated pretty quickly whereas a proper branded analogue will be in style forever! So waiting for the sale to buy one from fossil or MK. 😊
If you mean Michael Kors, dont buy it. Its a fashion brand, they dont know how to make watches. Its made on a budget by another company. Its not terrible, but not great either. Its overpriced just for the logo
then you go on to mention fossil and michael kors lmao. these companies have no idea how to make good watches. get casio, seiko, citizen or orient.
@@salad02 i would love to get a Seiko but its too expensive. I need something reliable for the next 5 years, later when i can afford something like Seiko i might consider 😊 thanks for the comment though . Fun fact, i got my first watch 11years ago, which was a Fastrack costing 800rs at that time, it still works 😂 its pretty beat up and looks like a kids toy watch, but it works.
@@salad02 Casio edifice series seems a good deal. Did some research on the brands and decided on either Casio or Titan.
Casio is far better than fossil
Good to see youtubers making videos on such fake products to increase consumer awareness.
I just randomly found out your channel and after watching just one video, I subscribed. Man, your honesty, presentation and explanations are really commendable. Keep up the good work!❤
Superb information bro....keep it up.
I actually needed calling on wrists because being a resident doctor means I would have my hands full most of the times. So I took the cheapest samsung galaxy watch which is much smoother experience, I did try firebolt and all but they seemed very clunky and obviously no playstore or even calculator which was also what I needed to count doses on the go.
Salute to you for fearlessly speaking the truth the world needs to know! I love your sense of humor & the way you delivered it😂 Have used MI's bands then Amazfit watch, they both seemed good at least the amazfit with its GPS & HR accuracy. Now using garmin (since I'm a recreational athlete with serious goals) and never looking back at those again ✌🏼
Agree. I too have used both Mi & Amazfit watches. And their data is pretty accurate. I have crossed checked the data with a Garmin product.

@@Swetabh96Yes and dosen't make sense when thousands of people are working in it. Also they give a lot of tax to the government so shutting them down isn't a option. We can only hope that the spare materials can be made in India.
@@riktamsarkar7684 ????? A paanwaala does more critical assembly than a ELECTRONIC-WATCH assembler. (I am not talking of mechanical watches) We really don't need more such con-men in our country. We have been seeing them in every industry for far too long

Yeah bro totally agree with you I too have a bad experience with noise watches - last year I had purchased about 5 noise watches for my family the basic need was knowing whose calling while working i didnt care about the health tracking or anything else thats why I choose noise(low price) but after 6 months 2 watches display got pixelated without any water damage or accident and the rest of the two watches got Display came out like it was glued with paper glue... Luckily 4 of them had a warranty and it took 1 month for them to repair and send it to me ... I personally use galaxy watch for two years and zero problems 😀
thank you bro for valuable info 😊
Please tell @Mr Techpedia which is the best Smart smart watch to buy in current Chinese assembled watch market.
My 2 friend bought noise and boat watch last year in December. In 2 months, 3 times, their smartwatch got replaced in service centre. Meanwhile me, using Fastrack analog watch since 2015 😎

First video I watched by you ... great video.👍
Kudos to you for calling out these companies. I personally feel instead of buying 3-4 smart bands (fake smaetwaches) and then keep getting fix for them is not a Smart move, instead don't buy any smart bands (read fake smart watches) or better go for Samsung Galaxy watch series (for android users) I just hope we get more better options than Samsung in android space.
This is why I skipped all these cheap watches and saved up money for some time to buy a galaxy watch. Really happy with the purchase. Also, it syncs perfectly with my samsung phone, not apple ecosystem kindof syncing but it gets the job done.
Fantastic research and analysis 🔥
Day by day I'm becoming a fan of your videos, your representation style and topics are excellent,,,
The Boat Watch incident is similar to my personal experience with Mivi neckband. They broke one of the earphone and blamed myself for sending a broken product.
Thanks KZhead for recommending this channel. Great video. I am an avid Apple fan boy and deep into eco system. I saw this Fire Boult watch which looked exactly like Apple Watch Ultra but circular in shape. Don’t know why, I instantly ordered one to check out. I wore it for 15mins. Crap UI, not the best of build quality, user experience is not at par (May be I was comparing that with my Apple Watch- I have bee wearing different series for almost 8 years now). As you said, people buy them because they are cheap, look fairly good. May be, this was learning experience for me and I am never going to buy or recommend any of these so called cheap smart watches to anyone.
Look man I bought it for my teenage girl, it's the least they can wear before earning anything, she's fit and fine. The watch face and time is enough. It's a good choice for parents to give it to their children for fancy. She will buy it for herself when she could afford a good one but, not now. I am telling you this because you seem to be old having all the apple watch generations and to be mature. I earn a good living but still wearing a a casio watch for 7 years now and I am very healthy by God grace.
Apple are biggest scammers

@@aryanram02 i don't live in India so idk 😐😶
Saw the comment section just now. Yes, an analogue watches are the best option if you are focusing on style and the basic functionality of a watch(that is to check the time), but a smartwatch does a lot more in my opinion.
hello sir... upon your experience,, which watch you recommend us to purchase? in round dial type
Rightly said bro with great information about India consumers trend,,👌
Such a informative video! You nailed it man! These companies lost nearly 1M customers 🥳😂😂
Completely agree with Mr Techopedia👍 I bought a Noise Colorfit 3 Pro 3 smartwatch for Rs 4500, the readings were inaccurate and then the magnetic part to which we attach the charger started to rust and then I stopped charging, this shows the cheap build quality of such brands. Apart from Apple and Samsung which are the other brands that we can trust?

Amazfit
Fitbit
Fossil

Alright so here is my personal experience... my Father went to Dubai and bought Huawei watch fit 2 for me. Though its price is much higher but thats literally a smart smart watch as u said. It has some amazing features and it has it's own Huawei health app and it's readings are also quite accurate.
But one exception is lava agni 2 they did a real good job with their new phone i think despite being am Indian brand most amazon reviews are good we need more brands like this

Thanks a million, I was really looking into this kind of information on smart watches. I do appreciate your choice and effort. Also, I would love to see second part on smart watches little deeper. Keep it up.
I was about to place the order but after saw your video I think better to buy classic analog watch instead-of smart watch. I am going for Rado now. Thanks buddy

Samsung Watches are really good. Got one for my dad recently. Although it has to be charged everyday, it's beautiful and has morivated my father to engage in healthier activities.
Apple and Samsung has this issue. Bettery drains in a day and needs to be charged. Huawei used to be charged in 6 to 7 days and it was so great, but accuracy wise apple is at the top followed by samsung. The problem with apple watch is first its costly and tgen repair is even costlier.
Boat uses the same strategy for all their products. They also broke my headphone which was under warranty and I had sent it for replacement.
