Fire Boltt Talk review: What is good?
The Fire Boltt Talk looks very similar to the Realme Watch S series. It
has a traditional round form factor and a large display. So, you won’t have
issues reading messages or notifications on the smartwatch. The watch has an
attractive design with sturdy build quality. The rear panel is plastic and the
device’s case is made of metal.
While the company hasn’t
mentioned if there is Gorilla Glass protection, the display quality is quite
good, given the watch fell from my hands twice and didn’t pick up any
noticeable scratches. The display is bright enough outdoors, but there is no
ambient sensor which would have helped manage brightness levels in different
lighting conditions.
The smartwatch is not very heavy and comfortable enough
to wear all day. You also get good quality rubber straps. The lower part of the
strap is textured to offer a better grip. The straps are removable, so you can
replace them in case you want a strap matching your outfit.
The Fire Boltt Talk can
continuously monitor heart rate and report the readings every 30 minutes. While
there is no way to change the time for monitoring this, it does save battery
life, without compromising on user data. One basic feature which is missing on
this watch is you don’t get alerts when your heart rate is very low or high.
The heart rate readings seemed fine during our testing period and were similar
to Realme Watch S Pro.
The watch also measure blood
oxygen levels or SpO2, which is yet another crucial feature that will help you
know if there is any reduction in oxygen saturation level in the blood. I
compared its results with a standard fingertip pulse oximeter and the watch
offered an almost accurate number. The oximeter showed 98-99% and the wearable
displayed 96-97%. The good thing is the device took just two seconds to
register the readings.
It didn’t record steps while travelling in a car, which
is always a bonus for a wearable device. The Fire-Boltt Talk registered around
90 steps when I manually counted 100 steps. The result was never really close
to the actual count. It was either 110 or 89. This is fine as the budget
smartwatches will never show very accurate results and they are good enough for
getting a general idea of your health.
Menstruation cycle tracking is
also available, which can help women track their cycle duration, ovulation, and
also predict when their next cycle will happen. You will be required to enter
details for the same if you want to get reminders before the next cycle.
However, there were times when the watch didn’t send reminders. You also get to
see a month-view calendar in the ‘Da Fit’ app.
The smartwatch can offer detailed
data on your sleeping patterns, which is also accurate. The app gives a sleep
quality score as well as heart rate readings. You will find all the health and
activity data in the company’s ‘Da Fit’ app, which displays these details quite
well. You can even control your smartphone’s camera from the watch.
Now, let’s talk about the key feature of the watch, which
is the call function.Unlike some of the budget wearables, the Fire Boltt Talk
allows you to pick up calls with just one tap. The watch should be within
Bluetooth range of the smartphone and you don’t need to take your phone out to
answer any call while riding a car or anywhere else. The smartwatch has a
microphone and speaker for this, which is loud enough and clear. During our
usage period, the person on the other end of the call was able to hear me
clearly and had no issues hearing me. But, one should avoid talking via the
watch in a noisy environment.
The watch also plays the smartphone’s audio when listening to songs or scrolling through apps like Instagram. You can change that from the smartphone’s Bluetooth settings by just disabling the “Audio Media” option. The watch lets you dial a phone number and even allows you to see contacts, but you will be able to make calls only via your phone.
