India lifestyle brand boAt has launched yet another fitness tracker disguised as a smartwatch. The company calls it boAt Watch Mercury. Let’s take a look at what this new wearable has to offer. The newly launched boAt Watch Mercury sports a 1.54-inch square-shaped LCD screen with a resolution of 240 x 240 pixels. The brand offers over 100 watch faces for users to try out.
The main highlight of this wearable is the
presence of a temperature sensor. This helps wearers to measure their body
temperature. Since the watch also supports real-time monitoring, it can notify
users when there’s a rise in body temperature. However, boAt recommends not to
use its product as a medical device.
Further, like any other fitness tracker, this
one also has a heart-rate sensor. It supports 11 sports modes like running,
walking, cycling, climbing, treadmill, swimming, yoga, spinning, basketball,
football, and badminton. Other features of the smartwatch include camera
shutter control, music control, call & message alerts, app notifications,
and IP68 dust and water resistance. As far as endurance is concerned, the brand
claims a 10-day battery life, and the wearable charges via a magnetic charger.
The boAt Watch Mercury is priced at ₹ 1,999
(US$ 26) in India. Customers can pick it up in either beige, black, blue, or
green-colored strap options. It will go on sale starting at 12 PM on December
15 via Flipkart.
