boAt Lunar Discovery Neo Round Smartwatch, BT Calling, ₹1,199

Prefer a smartwatch that looks like a classic round watch? The boAt Lunar Discovery Neo has a 1.39-inch round screen, a metallic finish, a functional crown and Bluetooth calling. It was ₹1,199 on amazon.in when we checked (MRP ₹6,999), with 4.0★ from 21,978 ratings, an Amazon's Choice badge and 2K+ bought in the past month; it is #7 in Smart Watches on Amazon. It ranks #8 in our Best Smartwatches Under ₹2,000 list with an overall score of 6.4/10.

WHO IT'S FOR

People who want a round dial for office and everyday wear, and a smartwatch that does not look like a fitness band, at a low price. Our colour checked was Active Black (model WA0054).

DISPLAY

A 1.39-inch round HD screen at 240×240 pixels with 500 nits. Amazon's spec table calls the panel type "LCD or OLED"; boAt only says HD, so we treat it as an LCD. It is the smallest and least sharp screen in this list, though fine for time, steps and notifications. Multiple menu styles and animated faces help. Score: 5.0/10.

BATTERY LIFE

A 300 mAh battery, with two boAt figures: its support page says up to 5 days, its launch blog says up to 7 days under typical use. We scored it on 5 days. It charges with a magnetic USB cable in about 1 hour 15 minutes. Score: 5.5/10.

HEALTH SENSORS

Heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), sleep, stress and guided breathing. Like every watch at this price, the heart-rate, SpO2 and stress readings are best used to spot trends, not as medical measurements. Score: 7.5/10.

FITNESS AND SPORTS MODES

100+ sports modes, and it auto-detects walking and running, so it starts logging even if you forget to press start. Score: 7.5/10.

GPS

There is no built-in GPS (the Amazon listing says "No GPS"), so distance on walks and runs comes from the motion sensor, not satellites, and there is no route map. None of the ten watches in our list has GPS at this price, so every one gets the same low GPS score. Score: 2.0/10.

BLUETOOTH CALLING

Bluetooth 5.4 calling with a built-in mic and speaker, dial pad and saved contacts. Score: 8.0/10.

BUILD AND WATER RESISTANCE

A premium metallic finish with a functional crown (rotate to scroll, press to select). boAt lists IP68; one price site says IP67. boAt's support page gives the net weight as about 20 g. Score: 7.0/10.

COMPANION APP

boAt Crest syncs faces, health history and fitness challenges. Score: 7.5/10.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Pick a simple analogue-style face; it suits the round dial and is easier to read on the small screen. Let auto-detection log your walks, but start runs manually for the full stats. Charge with a 5V/2A adapter, as boAt recommends.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• •The watch, a charging cable and a user manual. Warranty is 1 year from boAt.

HOW IT COMPARES AT THIS PRICE

The Noise Vortex Plus (₹1,999) is the round watch to get if you can spend ₹800 more: AMOLED, 466×466 and a metal case. The Fire-Boltt Axiom (₹1,999) is another round AMOLED option. At the same ₹1,199, the boAt Wave Call 3 gives you a bigger rectangular screen.

VALUE FOR MONEY

A round, metallic-finish calling watch with a crown for ₹1,199 is good value for style buyers: 8.0/10.

VERDICT

The boAt Lunar Discovery Neo is the best cheap round smartwatch in this list. Buy it for the look and the crown. If you want a better screen on a round dial, save up for the Noise Vortex Plus.
