BoAt has officially released its new Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2 smartwatches in India. While its past wearables had a clear focus on display size or fitness features, boAt is emphasizing practicality this time around. One of the key practical features on both the new smartwatches is the introduction of direct USB Type-C charging, eliminating the need for a magnetic charging dock, which the brand claims can easily be misplaced. These smartwatches also come with Bluetooth calling, health tracking and great battery life at a low price in India.
boAt Storm Call 4 price in India
The boAt Storm Call 4 is launched at a price starting at Rs 1,599 in India, making it one of the most affordable smartwatches in its segment. It is available to pre-order through boAt’s official website and will be on sale across various online and offline channels starting June 12. The budget-friendly smartwatch is targeting users looking for basic features like Bluetooth calling and fitness tracking without spending a lot of money.
boAt Ultima Vogue 2 price in India
The more premium boAt Ultima Vogue 2 is launched at a price of Rs 2,799 in India. It offers an AMOLED display and a metallic design and comes with more advanced features than the Storm Call 4. BoAt is targeting users who are looking for a premium smartwatch experience but still want to keep their spending below Rs 3,000. The Ultima Vogue 2 will compete directly with other budget smartwatches in the segment from brands like Noise, Fire-Boltt and Fastrack.
Direct USB Type-C charging
The most unique selling point of the boAt Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2 is the presence of direct USB Type-C charging. Most smartwatches come with a proprietary magnetic charger, which are fragile and easily lost or damaged during travel, making the smartwatch useless until you can get a replacement charger, which again requires purchasing it online. However, both these new boAt smartwatches enable you to charge the wearable using just a Type-C cable. The addition of Type-C direct charging will simplify daily charging for travelers, gadget enthusiasts, and anyone carrying a modern smartphone.

BoAt claims that the smartwatch offers up to 12 days of battery life with regular usage.

The Ultima Vogue 2 also comes with Bluetooth calling support, as well as health tracking and other modern features, and offers up to 10 days of battery life on normal usage.
Health and fitness tracking features
Both the boAt Storm Call 4 and boAt Ultima Vogue 2 come with health and fitness features like blood oxygen saturation monitoring, sleep tracking, stress tracking, female wellness features and continuously monitor heart rate.

Furthermore, the new smartwatches also support Emergency SOS feature, ensuring that the wearer is safe during unforeseen situations.
Buy them or not?
If you’re on a tight budget and want a smartwatch that can take and make calls and has a lot of other modern features to keep you informed and on track of your daily activities then the boAt Storm Call 4 is a good choice. If you want a more premium smartwatch with a brighter display and a metal body, the boAt Ultima Vogue 2 will serve the purpose without breaking the bank. However, regardless of which of the two boAt smartwatches you choose, the addition of a direct USB Type-C charging port is a game changer that can genuinely add convenience to your daily life.
