Let’s explore a few boAt favourites that are currently ruling the smartwatch sales!
boAt Chrome Endeavour
The boAt Chrome Endeavour is for those who don’t like to settle, whether it’s their fitness goals or daily grind. It’s not just an Android smartwatch with fancy tracking; it’s a lifestyle coach on your wrist. What makes it truly next-gen is its AI Coach, which offers guided support, making workouts more tailored and effective.
The AI-powered morning and evening summaries add a thoughtful touch. You start your day knowing what’s ahead, and end it reflecting on your progress. The personalised nudges are another clever addition, adapting to your routine instead of spamming your wrist with every notification. With auto-activity detection, your progress is well-accounted for, whether you’re cycling or running.
It also monitors key health metrics like heart rate, SpO2, HRV, VO2 Max, sleep patterns, and stress, helping you understand your body in a better way. The 1.96” AMOLED display makes every notification, metric, or watch face vivid and easy to read. Its turn-by-turn navigation ensures you never lose your way on a run, hike, or city commute.
All this comes in a sleek metal design and an IP68 Rating that’s resistant to splashes, sweat, and dust. Priced competitively under ₹4,000, it’s a perfect mix of brains and style for young Indians who value fitness and flair.
boAt Lunar Discovery Pro
The Lunar Discovery Pro is one of boAt’s best-selling watches. It’s bold, elegant, and effortlessly blends performance with sophistication.
The all-new metal design instantly gives it a premium touch. It’s a head-turner: sleek enough for a boardroom and tough enough for a morning jog. The HD display brings everything to life with crystal clarity, whether you’re reading texts under the sun or checking your workout summary post-gym.
It comes with Bluetooth calling, letting you take calls directly from your wrist without reaching for your phone. The QR tray feature adds convenience for quick payments. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the multiple sports modes, which track a variety of activities, from running to yoga. Along with fitness tracking, it continuously monitors your heart rate, SpO₂ (blood oxygen levels), sleep quality, and stress. You can stay aware of how your body’s really doing throughout the day.
What makes it truly stand out among smart watches for men (and women who prefer a bolder aesthetic) is that it doesn’t compromise on toughness or technology. For under ₹4,000, it feels like you’re wearing something way more premium.
Choosing the Right boAt Smartwatch for You
Finding your ideal smartwatch depends on what drives you. If you’re into fitness and need that extra push, Chrome Endeavour will become your personal trainer in disguise. If design and everyday versatility are more your thing, the Lunar Discovery Pro is unbeatable in its segment.
For those who like experimenting, boAt’s Enigma series offers several top-rated smartwatches that cater to every mood, from minimal and classic to bold and futuristic. Since all of them connect seamlessly to Android devices, you’ll never have to compromise between compatibility and coolness.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
