Which smartwatch is best under 5000 in Nepal?

Smartwatches have never been so popular in the Nepali accessories market, and you can say that just by looking at the number of watches currently available in the market. While Samsung and Apple dominate the flagship market, neither company has a presence at the opposite end of the spectrum.

The first entry in our list of the best budget smartwatches under NPR 5000 in Nepal is the AQFit W16. And for us, its standout feature is definitely the big 1.69-inch display. This is still an IPS LCD panel with some noticeable bezels, but the actual quality of this screen is pretty great for the price.

And AQFiT has also given 100+ different watch faces here, including some live ones. You can even make a custom watch face using any picture on your phone. W16’s design is also rather sturdy for a budget smartwatch priced under NPR 5000. It has a regular polycarbonate body but the overall watch just feels sturdy. This smartwatch is also IP68 rated against dust and water damage.

In terms of health/fitness tracking, AQFiT W16 covers all the basics like heart rate, sleep, SpO2 monitoring, and also menstrual tracking.

And at the number two spot on our list of best budget smartwatches under NPR 5000 in Nepal is the Ultima Nova. In case you didn’t know, Ultima Lifestyle is a Nepali OEM accessory brand that sells everything from smartwatches to TWS earbuds, speakers, and more. And its Nova smartwatch has been quite popular in the Nepali market for a couple of unique features.

For starters, you can set the entire language of the watch’s UI to Nepali. That makes it the perfect budget choice for someone like your parents or grandparents who aren’t well-versed in the English language but understand Nepali texts. And the Ultima Nova is also the only entry on our list of best budget smartwatches under NPR 5000 in Nepal to support the Bluetooth calling feature. So you can make and take calls directly from the watch without having to bother with your phone.

Other than this, the Nova has a pretty standard squarish design made out of zinc alloy. Available in either black, grey, or pink colorways, it is also 3ATM water-resistant for up to 10 meters.

1. Amazfit Bip 3

Finally, the Amazfit Bip 3 takes the gold medal on our list of best budget smartwatches under NPR 5000 in Nepal. Even though it’s the most expensive watch we have, the Bip 3 also has features to justify that. First off, you simply can’t get a better, more robust software experience on a budget smartwatch than this guy. Amazfit has been in the wearable industry for quite some time now, and its software optimization remains one of the best in the business.

The Bip 3 runs on FreeRTOS and everything from the UI design to the overall system fluidity is quite nice here for a budget smartwatch. And its companion app is ridiculously well-optimized too. However, it would’ve been even nicer if Amazfit had shipped it with the new “ZeppOS” platform. Amazfit Bip 3’s build quality is pretty standard though. It has an all-plastic build material with a 20mm silicone strap that weighs just 33 grams.

And the display side of things is nothing fancy either. You’re looking at a big 1.69-inch TFT LCD screen, whose pixel density could’ve been slightly richer. Anyway, the battery life on this smartwatch is pretty impressive actually. Amazfit says its 280mAh cell can last up to 14 days, and it lasted us 8 days under normal usage. In terms of health tracking, it supports all-day heart rate, SpO2, sleep, women’s health monitoring, and more. Whereas the Bip 3 can log over 60 different sports modes too.

Amazfit Bip 3 Specifications:

• Body: 44.12 x 36.49 x 9.65 mm, Plastic build material
• Strap: Silicone material (20 mm)
