When you buy a smartwatch under Rs 10,000, you’re not buying a smartwatch, you’re buying a fitness tracker with a bigger display and the same pattern can be seen at a 20k price tag or even more.
So when you spend more than 20k on a smartwatch, you need to make sure whether the smartwatch can make calls or not, how accurate the smartwatch provides the data, and how is the software experience.
I have added the top best smartwatches under Rs 25,000 in this article but not all the watches can make calls without the smartphone, so even at a 25k price tag, you need to make compromises.
Still, if you want that calling feature that you can use without a smartphone, you need to spend more than 25k on a smartwatch.
Now let’s not talk much, let’s talk about smartwatches under 25k with full details, so you can get a clear idea, of what you’re getting at Rs 25,000.
I will update this list every month, but if you want live deals or want to chat with me, you can follow topbestinINDIA on Telegram for live deals. Here is the discussion Telegram Group. See you there…

As you can tell from the name, the watch also has all the fitness features, 4 stage Sleep, Activity with continuous HRM & Stress monitoring, and heart rate monitoring.
It also has BP monitoring but subject to Indian laws they don’t allow the BP monitor to function, so till India passes the law to enable this feature, the BP monitor on the watch will not function.

The Apple Watch Series 3 comes with a 1.65-inches Retina display and it’s running on Watch OS 7.5 while under the hood, it has an Apple S3 chipset.
New Launch: Apple Watch SE
What else can I say about this watch, its the cheapest smartwatch available for iPhone? Now, if you’re using iPhone and if you can spend 5k more then do take look at New Apple Watch SE.

This is a water resistance smartwatch which means, you can go swimming while wearing the watch. By the way, the watch doesn’t support 3rd party apps, so you have to use what Huawei has added to the watch.

Now, again, if you don’t like the design of Amazfit GTS 2 then don’t worry, you can take look at Amazfit GTR 2 which has the same features as Amazfit GTS 2 but it comes with rouned design, just click on watch.
Conclusion
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a good option under Rs 23,000 in India because it offers good value at a 23k price tag but still, if you don’t want to spend 23,000 then Amazfit GTS 2/GTR 2 is also a good option.
