In the days of our parents and their parents, a watch was supposed to tell us time. If you are a 70s or 80s kid, you would be familiar with HMT watch your dad wore all the time. A watch was just an item of utility.
Fast forward to the digital era – all we see around us are smartwatches. Just what is a smartwatch? Well, as the name suggests, it is a smart device – not only does it show us time, it also helps us regulate our lives better. How, many would rightly want to know? Well, that’s because the way it is made, it gives us all kinds of information – health update (you can know your oxygen levels, BP, pulse rate), you can know how many steps you have taken in a day, calories burnt etc. Now, that is a wonderful thing as you have a much better control of your health as the stats are all there to see.
By this logic, a smartwatch would have sounded the death knell of a conventional watch. Actually not. The watches of the past, called analog watches, have quietly undergone a transformation – today an analog watch is considered an ultimate fashion accessory.
But what about the price of such watches? Are they very expensive? Well, the good news is you can get in a whole of range of prices. We have bunched together few best options in the under ₹1000 category. Check them out here.
There was once a time when a wrist watch was what it took to know the time. Then came the era of mobile phones and knowing what hour of the day was via our phones. While it was obviously very convenient to check the time on the phone while on the move, the charm of a wrist watch was far from over.
In the past, what we knew as watches are what are today dubbed as analog watches. In today's world, smartwatches have changed our relationship with watches completely. No longer are they simply only ‘time keepers’. Smartwatches keep a tab on our lives. From tracking our fitness regimen, feeding us data on our oxygen level and heart rate, giving details on our sleep pattern etc, smartwatches are a valuable tool of everyday life. Meanwhile, analog watches have undergone a quiet transformation too. Today, they are considered ultimate fashion accessories as well.
We have put together a list of watches, a mix of analog and smartwatches, that you must take a look at. What's more is that they all come within ₹1000.
