Health tracking is now one of the main reasons people buy a smartwatch. These devices can track steps, heart rate, sleep, workouts, and, on some models, blood oxygen levels and other health metrics.

However, not all smartwatches are equally good at tracking health. Some focus on basic fitness tracking, while others offer detailed workout data, GPS, and more advanced health features. The choice also depends on how you plan to use the watch.

A fitness band may be enough for everyday activity, while runners and fitness enthusiasts may need more detailed tracking. In this list, we look at some of the best smartwatches and fitness bands available in India in 2026, covering a range of price points and health-tracking features to help you find one that suits your routine.
