Smartwatches with accurate health tracking are typically priced above ₹15,000, making it difficult for budget-conscious users to find a solid option below this threshold. Most devices in this range lack proper sensors or calibration, resulting in less accurate tracking.
That's why I took the time to compile this list of the best smartwatches you can buy under ₹15,000.
Best smartwatches you should buy under ₹15,000
1) OnePlus Watch 2
Price: ₹12,995
Trending
The OnePlus Watch 2 is by far one of the best smartwatches in this segment. Its body is built entirely from aluminum alloy, while the front display is made of sapphire glass, making it highly scratch-resistant.
The OnePlus Watch 2 has a decent AMOLED display with accurate colors and a brightness level of 600 nits, ensuring excellent outdoor visibility. It is also equipped with heart rate, SpO2, and stress sensors, along with sleep-tracking capabilities that provide valuable data about your sleeping patterns.

2) Amazfit Active 2
Price: ₹9,999
The Amazfit Active 2 provides a lot for its price. Its aluminum body not only offers durability but also gives it a premium look. The design is lightweight and comfortable, making it suitable for extended wear.
The Amazfit Active 2's display is slightly smaller, but the AMOLED panel delivers excellent visuals and reaches 600 nits of brightness, which means outdoor visibility won't be an issue. The smartwatch is also equipped with BioTracker 5.0, which provides accurate heart rate monitoring, along with SpO2, sleep, and stress tracking.
3) Amazfit GTS2 Mini
Price: ₹5,999
The Amazfit GTS2 Mini is an affordable smartwatch that truly punches above its weight. It is quite lightweight at just 19.5 grams (without the straps), and you will barely feel it on your wrist. It also offers 5ATM water resistance, making it suitable for swimming.
The Amazfit GTS2 Mini has interchangeable straps for customization. It is also equipped with the BioTracker 2 PPG sensor, which is not as advanced as the BioTracker 5.0 but can still monitor your heart rate 24/7. Other features include SpO2 tracking, stress monitoring, and advanced sleep analysis.
4) Redmi Watch 5 Lite
Price: ₹3,499
If the options above seem too expensive, the Redmi Watch 5 Lite is for you. Despite costing less than ₹3,500, it has many of the premium features found in higher-end models. Its build combines a zinc alloy side frame with reinforced plastic for the inner mid-frame.
The Redmi Watch 5 Lite features a large 1.96-inch AMOLED square display that delivers a great viewing experience. It offers accurate colors and exceptional brightness outdoors. The touch response is also optimized for glove usage, so you won't find any issues using it during winter. Additionally, the smartwatch can track your heart rate, SpO2, sleep, stress, and even GPS positioning (for runners).
5) Redmi Watch 5 Active
Price: ₹2,027
The Redmi Watch 5 Active is designed for those who are on a tight budget. As such, there are a few compromises. For example, it has a large two-inch display, but the panel is LCD, meaning the black levels aren’t as deep as AMOLED. However, the color accuracy is quite good, and it gets decently bright at 500 nits.
The Redmi Watch 5 Active supports 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2, sleep, stress tracking, and GNSS location positioning. The tracking accuracy is better than many other smartwatches in the same price range, but it doesn’t quite match the Redmi Watch 5 Lite. Still, its performance is acceptable, considering its price.

All the smartwatches on this list offer something unique at different price points. The OnePlus Watch 2 delivers all-around performance, while the Amazfit models focus on accurate health tracking over fancy features. The Redmi smartwatches, on the other hand, provide the best value for money. Choose the one that best suits your needs and budget.
