Crossbeats Ignite Nexus is making waves as India’s first smartwatch featuring full integration of ChatGPT technology. Packed with a plethora of features, this smartwatch aims to revolutionize the way we interact with wearable technology. We received a review unit, and here’s a comprehensive analysis of its performance:
Specs that Matter:
The premium metal dial housing the 2.1-inch full-touch AMOLED display is a testament to Crossbeats’ commitment to quality. With an impressive peak brightness of 700 nits, the display remains vivid even in direct sunlight. Innovative features like GPS Dynamic Route tracking, Dynamic Island, Altimeter, and an Ebook Reader add a layer of versatility that sets this smartwatch apart.
Crossbeats Ignite Nexus enables Bluetooth calling with a loudspeaker that delivers clear audio, ensuring that conversations and music playback are both audible and crisp. The microphone performs admirably, enabling seamless voice commands, call responses, and even voice note recording. The voice note feature is a handy addition for quick reminders.
The Nexus doesn’t compromise on health monitoring, featuring accurate sensors for steps, heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, and sleep. The inclusion of female health tracking further enhances its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of users with diverse health needs.
Performance:
We tested the watch extensively during a trip to Nainital and found it to be a reliable companion. The 250mAh battery lasted an impressive 3 days with continuous heart monitoring, Bluetooth calling, and GPS-based fitness tracking. We even tested the Altimeter, and it showed 1901 meters as the altitude when we were near the Nainital lake, and it was fairly accurate. For GPS tracking during outdoor workouts like running or cycling, the GPS lock takes a bit of time before you can start the route tracking of the activity. The watch is water-resistant with an IP67 rating and features self-water ejection, which is useful when the watch is subjected to water exposure. The smart split screen is a useful addition for quick access to recent features. The GPS lock time might be a slight inconvenience for some users, but the overall performance is commendable.
ChatGPT Integration and Dynamic Island:
The standout feature is the ChatGPT integration, which proves useful with an internet connection. It recognizes voice commands accurately and provides clear, legible text responses. It’s a quick AI assistant for queries. The Dynamic Island feature provides a convenient way to glance at notifications without the need for extensive navigation.
MActive App and Customization:
The MActive App complements the Nexus smartwatch perfectly. It not only tracks health and fitness activities but also offers a diverse range of over 100 watch faces for customization. Additionally, users can download and install games, although some may require a separate purchase.
While the Nexus captures accurate data, the presentation could be more visually appealing, both on the watch and in the app. This minor drawback can be addressed by Crossbeats in future firmware updates.
Price and Availability:
The Crossbeats Ignite Nexus is set for a Diwali launch on 10th November and is currently available for pre-booking at INR 999, which will be adjusted towards the special launch price of INR 4,999. This competitive pricing makes it an attractive option for those seeking cutting-edge technology without breaking the bank.
Conclusion:
The Crossbeats Ignite Nexus smartwatch impresses with its array of features, accurate sensors, and integration of ChatGPT technology. It’s an excellent choice for individuals seeking a versatile smartwatch that excels in health and fitness tracking, while also offering a range of innovative functions. With its competitive pricing, the Nexus is poised to make a significant impact in the smartwatch market. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience India’s first ChatGPT integrated smartwatch during Diwali.
