One commonly assumes that if something is good, better or best, it has to cost accordingly. However, if you have a tight budget and still want the best value for your money, you should be able to get that. At a low price, you may not get a lot but having the basics should suffice. Anything more on offer would always be welcome.
If you consider ₹1000 as an entry-level price, you may struggle to find a good smartwatch from a renowned brand. With a branded product like Dizo Watch 2 Sports (review) comes a certain level of quality assurance and customer support. During sales on online channels like Amazon and Flipkart, you may be able to grab good smartwatches at a deal price below ₹1000. For example, Tagg Verve Max 2 was in a sale at the time of writing this. Else, you may have to pay more, say up to ₹1,500 to get something worthwhile. Also, the state of the market and pricing strategies by the brands may change with time and thus you may get more options at the low price you want.
