Smartwatches were once seen as items of luxury. Some of us questioned their worth and whether they’d be of any use. Times have changed and smartwatches are preferred over traditional ones due to their affordability and practicality. This tiny computer on your wrist can track your fitness while you carry out out daily chores and even give deep insights into health with EGC and SpO2 features. They even let you view notifications, reply to texts and take control of smart home devices straight from your wrist.
Affordable smartwatches prices can start from as low as Rs. 1,500, but they have a problem. They come with TFT or LCD displays which aren’t the best in the long run. Such watches can have poor response, poor outdoor visibility and include build quality compromises. That’s where new-age AMOLED smartwatches shine. They have long-lasting build, richer health tracking features and most importantly, colourful, detailed screens. The best part? They are now affordable, making the tech accessible to all. Here are some reasons you should go in for an AMOLED smartwatch.
Better outdoor visibility
One of the biggest problems with LCD or TFT smartwatches is their poor outdoor visibility. Users often need to cover their watches with their palm or find a shade to be able to read notifications on smartwatches, but this isn’t the case with the AMOLED ones. AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) produces richer colours, higher brightness levels and superior contrast than traditional LCD screens. Since they have deeper levels of black, text and images are more legible in broad brightlight. Such watches also tend to have a better resolution screen, so watch faces appear sharper and detailed.
Wider viewing angles
AMOLED display smartwatches come with higher pixel density and offer better viewing angles than LCD ones. For example, take the Fireboltt Invincible. This circular-shaped smartwatch has a bright and big screen, so you see watch faces and notifications from any angle without any issues. AMOLED screen watches also tend to have better refresh rate and touch response. You can glide through notifications, settings and switch watch faces more smoothly than on LCD display smartwatches. One of the most affordable AMOLED smartwatch option is the Noise ColorFIt Ultra 2. This watch has a 1.78-inch display and this rectangle-designed watch comes with a metallic finish.
Thin and lightweight design
LCD screens require backlit, making the technology thicker and heavier. However, this isn’t the case with AMOLED technology. AMOLEDs produce their own light, and so displays are thinner and lighter. This allows the manufacturer to make more lightweight and compact smartwatches that you can wear comfortably on your wrist. In fact, models like Amazfit Pop 2 come with a large 1.78-inch AMOLED screen while weighing only 100 grams. This means you can have the watch on your wrist through the day without the feeling of something heavy and bulky on your wrist. If you are lookign for a premium offering, models like the Noise ColorFit Pro4 Alpha is one of the best options. It’s an excellently built watch with tons of premium feature.
Better power efficiency
Since AMOLED screens can selectively light up pixels, they are more power-efficient than then LCD or TFT screen smartwatches. This helps conserve battery life and prolong the overall life of the watch. Models like Amazfit Huami GTS are built with a 220mAh battery, claiming a battery life of 7 days. It also promises a full charge in just under 2 hours, so no more long waits for a full charge.
Always-on display
Another reason why AMOLED smartwatches are better than LCD ones is the support for the Always-on feature. Models like Amazfit GTS 4 Mini support this feature, so the screen stays on all the time, even you aren’t actively using the watch. This can come in very handy when you want to check the time, notifications and other information. You no longer need to to wake up the watch.
AMOLED watches are a better choice over traditional LCD ones. They are sleek, lightweight and built well. With AMOLED’s solid screen quality, you can experience richer colours, details and enjoy a more responsive user experience.
