The dual-chip Bluetooth calling smartwatches consist of a primary SoC and an additional Bluetooth chip. The primary SoC takes care of connectivity and the second chip is there specifically for calling. So, you will have to pair the watch twice to your smartphone for enjoying Bluetooth calling. However, in a single-chip BT-calling smartwatch, there is a single chip for both calling and connectivity. This saves battery and hence is considered a more efficient solution.
We consider Apple Watch Ultra or Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro great for calling purposes as they both feature e-SIM cellular connectivity and long battery life to support long calls. So, there are a few important things you need to check before you buy a smartwatch with a calling feature in India. Let’s see what kind of calling facility you get with the following smartwatches. These, according to us, are the top 10 smartwatches with call functionality:
Rest, you get aerospace-grade titanium build, sapphire crystal glass display, dual-frequency GPS, car crash detection, emergency SOS, both GPS and more.
Among other things, you also get a durable build with a titanium alloy chassis, sapphire crystal glass screen, and IP68 dust and water resistance. Then there is GPS routing, sleep analysis with snoring detection, swimming and several other activity modes, a way to know Body Fat Composition as well.
