New Delhi: Consumers can expect differentiated features in smartwatches as top brands such as Noise<\/a>, Fire-Boltt and Boat<\/a> ramp up their software play to target a large upgrade market expected to open from this year. The top wearables brands are investing heavily in taking control of the firmware and design to create unique use cases such as in-depth sports tracking, health and wellness features and deeper integrations with the smartphone. 而硬件发挥越来越饱和品牌尽量保持产品的可负担得起的价格,以吸引新的用户,噪音、Fire-Boltt和船都投资于软件方面来区分。 新德里:消费者可以预期分化特性smartwatches等顶级品牌噪音、Fire-Boltt和船增加他们的软件发挥目标大升级市场预计将从今年开。顶部这套品牌大力投资控制的固件,设计创造出独特的用例,如深入运动跟踪、健康与保健功能与智能手机和更深层次的集成。
While the hardware play is getting saturated as brands try to maintain the affordable pricing of the products in a bid to lure fresh users, Noise, Fire-Boltt and Boat are investing in the software side to differentiate.
Co-founder Amit Khatri of Smartwatch<\/a> market leader Noise told ET there would be a shift in focus from consumer acquisition to retention, and hence innovation both in terms of hardware and insight would play a key role in future launches.
Boat, third placed in the smartwatch rankings, acquired Singapore-based IoT<\/a> startup, KaHa in May 2022. With its help, Boat has been able to develop its own firmware, its own app stack and algorithms to differentiate the brand.
“Because they (Boat’s competitors) don’t own the entire stack, every time they roll out a new feature, they will need new hardware. We did not think that would be scalable. So, we wanted to build the whole ecosystem rather than only go for the hardware,” said Sameer Mehta, co-founder of Boat.
Mehta added that one can only do so much to the design of the watch. Manufacturers can play around with the screen sizes, or the external body, or give it different colours, but that’s the limit.
“The main meat of the industry lies in the backend where, for instance, you can tell users you have not slept well at night, so you shouldn’t do an intense workout today,” he added.
The personal audio brand that entered into smartwatches in 2020 saw its growth slowing in 2022 on account of a higher base in 2021, when it grew at 170% on-year, Mehta said. However, the company is on track to post Rs 4000 crore revenue, with Rs 5500 crore as the target for next year.
“The market is completely untapped in terms of what the consumer wants and what offerings are available,” said Arnav Kishore, founder and CEO at second ranked smartwatch player Fire-Boltt.
The brand is now working on differentiated lines of smartwatches such as a rugged category for outdoor use, a luxury line of watches, as well as offerings for kids and women.
The brand is working on developing its own PCB solutions and working directly with chipset players to develop its own operating system.
The control over firmware will allow the brand to offer differentiated features. For instance, Fire-Boltt is working on smartwatch for scuba diving enthusiasts with real-time statistics and metrics. Similarly, it is creating dedicated products for golf and tennis players, with algorithms to track the sport in depth.
\"On the health and fitness side, we are going to unveil a platform soon where consumer will be able to get automated coaching related to nutrition,\" Kishore said, adding that they are also creating a community for users to interact with and keep a check on their health and performance.

“因为他们(船的竞争对手)不拥有整个堆栈,每次他们推出一个新功能,他们将需要新的硬件。我们不认为这将是可伸缩的。所以,我们想建立整个生态系统而不是只去硬件,“创始人Sameer Mehta说船。
梅塔补充说,我们只能做这么多手表的设计。制造商可以在屏幕尺寸,或者外部的身体,或给它不同的颜色,但限制。
