I have used quite a few smartwatches over the years, and one thing I have realised is that you do not always need to spend a lot of money to get a good one. With the Amazon Great Indian Festival, some watches I would actually recommend are now available at more reasonable prices. So, instead of just listing whatever is on discount, I have picked 10 smartwatches that, I think, are worth considering at their current prices. I have used some of these myself, including the Noise Endeavour Pro and Noise Alt Watch 1. I am currently using the Galaxy Watch 9, which is so much closer in features and design to the Watch 8, so when I saw it on sale, I immediately decided to include it in this list.
Smartwatches worth considering during the Amazon Great Indian Festival

This is literally the best deal if you have already set your eyes on an Apple Watch or are already in the Apple ecosystem. The Apple Watch Series 11 offers a premium smartwatch experience, and if the newer generation does not bring major hardware improvements that matter to you, the Series 11 remains worth considering.
You can also expect ongoing software support, although the availability of individual features depends on hardware compatibility. At the current price, this is a good opportunity to get an Apple Watch, and if you add a compatible credit card discount and cashback offers, the effective price could go even lower.

Samsung makes really good smartwatches. I am currently daily driving the Galaxy Watch9, and I have noticed little to no change in the overall experience compared to the Galaxy Watch8. The Watch8 remains a good option if you want a premium all rounder smartwatch that can track your health while looking good enough to wear every day.
You also get features such as blood pressure monitoring, ECG and sleep tracking, along with a bright display and a powerful processor. If you are looking for a premium Android smartwatch, this is a deal worth considering, especially with additional savings through compatible credit card offers and cashbacks.

The Noise Endeavour Pro is one value for money smartwatch that I add to my recommendations because if you like rugged style smartwatches, this watch can offer a good experience without costing you a fortune. It has the features you need in a smartwatch, plus a rugged design that looks impressive.
The titanium ring on the bezel adds to its look while helping protect the watch from everyday bumps and dents. You also get dual band GPS and long battery life, making it suitable for outdoor activities. This watch usually costs around ₹9,999, but it is currently available for around ₹1,000 less. You can save even more with compatible credit card offers and cashbacks.

Amazfit watches have always offered good value for money for health and fitness tracking, and the Active Max is a good example of that. You get a premium design, the Zepp OS experience and a range of AI powered fitness features. The large AMOLED display makes it suitable for everyday use, while offline maps and built in GPS can be useful if you enjoy outdoor workouts.
With 4GB of storage and support for more than 170 sports modes, this watch offers plenty of features for its price. If you want a daily driving smartwatch that combines health tracking, fitness features and long battery life, the Active Max is worth considering during the sale.

The OnePlus Watch 2R is one smartwatch that can give you long battery life while still offering the features of a Wear OS powered watch. The trick is that this watch uses two operating systems, Wear OS and RTOS, allowing it to switch between a full smartwatch experience and a more power efficient mode when needed.
This means you can enjoy Google's smartwatch apps and services without having to charge the watch every day under suitable usage conditions. You also get a bright AMOLED display, dual frequency GPS and more than 100 sports modes. It is a steal at the current price, and you can use compatible credit card offers to get an additional discount.

Garmin is a well known smartwatch maker among fitness enthusiasts, and the vívoactive series is one of its popular options for people who want detailed health and workout tracking. The vívoactive 5 offers a combination of fitness features, health monitoring and GPS tracking in a relatively compact design. It can track different workouts, monitor sleep and help you understand your training and recovery patterns.
If you are a fitness enthusiast looking for a Garmin smartwatch, this is a deal worth considering, especially if you want to move beyond basic activity tracking. With the current discount, it is a good opportunity to get a Garmin watch without spending as much as you would on some of the brand's more advanced models.

If you are looking for a more premium smartwatch with a rugged design, look no further than the Amazfit T-Rex 3. This watch is built for demanding outdoor activities and can handle challenging conditions, including extreme temperatures and underwater use within its specified limits. Along with its durable construction, you get long battery life, GPS navigation and a range of fitness tracking features.
It is designed for people who want more than a regular everyday smartwatch, particularly those who enjoy hiking, trekking and other outdoor adventures. The T-Rex 3 is currently available at an attractive price, making this a deal worth considering if you want a premium rugged smartwatch.

If you do not want to spend too much on a smartwatch but still want a premium design, the Noise Alt Watch 1 is worth considering. It offers a minimal design with a functional rotating crown, an AMOLED display, built in GPS and a range of everyday smartwatch features. The display also offers up to 1,000 nits of brightness, which should help with visibility outdoors.
I have reviewed this watch, and at its current price, you are getting a good set of features along with a design that stands out from the usual budget smartwatch options. If you want something stylish for everyday use without spending too much, this is a deal to consider.

The Redmi Watch 5 Lite is for people who want an affordable smartwatch with the essential features without spending too much. However, you are not missing out on some useful features just because it is a budget option. You get an AMOLED display, built in GPS, Bluetooth calling and an always on display, along with long battery life.
The watch also offers 5ATM water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear and swimming within its specified limits. At a price of under ₹4,000, it is a practical option for anyone who wants a smartwatch with the basic fitness tracking and calling features without stretching their budget.

The Redmi Watch Move is for beginners who want to try a smartwatch but are still sceptical about whether to make the switch from a traditional analogue watch. It can give you a glimpse of what a smartwatch can do, including checking notifications, tracking everyday activity and viewing information on your wrist.
You can also consider it for children if you do not want to spend too much on their first smartwatch. However, do not expect premium features such as built in GPS or the accuracy offered by more advanced fitness watches. You still get an AMOLED display and useful everyday features at an affordable price, making it a reasonable starting point for anyone new to smartwatches.
