According to the latest research from Counterpoint, the Indian smartwatch market saw a record shipment growth of over 274% in 2021. In addition, with more than 8% QoQ growth, the fourth quarter of 2021 was the strongest in the history of the market.
The huge growth that the Indian smartwatch market is seeing is due to increased health awareness, affordable pricing, growth of new entrants, discounts and an abundance of new products, according to analysts. More than 86% of total sales came from models under $65. For comparison: in 2020, their share was 59%. Many features that were previously present in more expensive models can now be found even in the $25-$40 segment. These are, for example, the determination of blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure monitoring, a voice interface and an enlarged display.
The market leader is the Indian brand Noise, which accounts for 27% of sales. For the year, he showed sales growth of more than 278%. The most popular model in the Noise range is ColorFit Pro 2. In general, local brands captured more than 75% of the market.

Smart watches Pixel Watch will get the old platform, 1.5 GB of RAM and far from the largest battery

There are more and more details about the Pixel Watch every day. For example, we recently learned that the watch will work on the SoC Exynos 9110, which was released in 2018 and was produced using the 10 nm process technology.
At the same time, the watch will have a special coprocessor on the Cortex-M33 core, developed by NXP. He will take over some of the tasks of the main platform in order to increase the autonomy of the device.
At the same time, the battery capacity will be only 300 mAh, which is about 20% less than that of Samsung watches.
Now it is reported that the watch will also receive 1.5 GB of RAM, and this is comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Watch4. Why, at the same time, Google did not take Samsung’s modern Exynos W920 SoC for its watches is unclear. The Pixel Watch will have 32 GB of flash memory, so you can store music and more on the watch.
The watch will be produced by Compal, which produced many Apple Watches and is generally one of the largest manufacturers of various electronics.
