Looking for a Smartwatch with Good Call Quality Under ₹5000

Hi everyone, I'm posting this on behalf of my father, who is in his early 50s and works as a manager in an industrial production environment. Due to the constant noise and disturbance from machinery, he often misses calls because he can't hear his phone's ringtone. Additionally, the vibration on his phone isn't strong enough to get his attention amidst the heavy machinery vibrations.


His primary requirement is a smartwatch that allows him to take calls directly on the watch without needing to take out his phone. It should also have a display that's decently legible outdoors, especially during summer days.


The budget is around ₹5000. While smartwatches offer calling features, call quality and overall ease of use don’t seem to be discussed much in reviews. I'd really appreciate any recommendations based on experience.


Any help would be appreciated.

I'd recommend snagging in a Galaxy Watch 4 or above if used items aren't an issue.

Here GW4 has sold multiple times for 5k and I can concur that it's a great watch for the price albeit the battery could be better.
I've been using it for the past 2-3 years. If your father is already using a Samsung phone, the watch will feel very familiar.

check out the cmf watches, for instance, the Watch Pro 2 which ranges between 4.2-4.5k. This review says "There’s an always-on display mode, which is just about legible on sunny days. You do give up quite a bit of battery life to activate it, though. ".

Even this review which bashes it, praises it's display, "For instance, the display here is really good, but I wish it wasn’t wasted on a software experience that I can’t wait to stop using."

you'd need to weight out the pros and cons though.

Would TWS be an option ?

Actually no, as a policy matter and general safety they are required to wear ear plugs or noise cancellation head phones while on site. So im not sure if earbuds would actually be even allowed on there.

watch pro 2 is actually my top pick as of now. one thing that im worried about is it's 1.32' screen being too small for him to operate. tried to find that watch on physical retail shops so that i can see if that would end up being any issue but wasn't able to find one..... tho as of now, if i end up not finding anything more suitable, i plan to go with watch pro 2.
