Introduction

The indian tech lifestyle brand boAt has expanded its wearable portfolio with the launch of the Chrome Iris smartwatch, a feature‑rich device aimed at users looking for a blend of style, functionality, and affordability in a single wearable. The new smartwatch brings premium features once found only in pricier models to the budget segment, making it a compelling choice for everyday users.

Premium Design and Display

The Chrome Iris stands out immediately with its ultra‑slim metal body that measures around 8 mm in thickness, giving it a sleek look that’s comfortable for all‑day wear.

Its 1.32‑inch AMOLED display delivers rich colors and sharp visuals — with peak brightness reaching up to 1000 nits, ensuring clarity even under bright sunlight. The smartwatch also supports an Always‑On Display mode, so users can quickly check time and notifications without waking the screen.

Connectivity and Smart Features

One of the biggest highlights of the Chrome Iris is its Bluetooth calling support — users can make and receive calls directly from their wrist, thanks to the built‑in microphone and speaker. This convenient feature makes it easier to stay connected during workouts or when the phone isn’t easily reachable.

In addition to calling, the smartwatch lets users control music playback, camera functions, and handle notifications from compatible devices.

Health and Fitness Tracking

Health monitoring features are a core part of the Chrome Iris experience. The smartwatch includes:

• Heart rate monitoring
• SpO₂ (blood oxygen) tracking
• Sleep tracking and analysis
• Female wellness tracking for menstrual cycle support
• Guided breathing modes

Alongside these, it offers multiple sports and activity modes — ideal for walkers, runners, cyclists, and general fitness enthusiasts who want useful workout metrics.

Battery Life and Durability

Equipped with a 180 mAh battery, the Chrome Iris promises up to five days of battery life under typical usage, so users don’t have to worry about frequent charging.

It also comes with IP68 dust and water resistance, making it durable enough for everyday wear, including during workouts and outdoor use.

Smart Utilities and Customization

Beyond fitness and connectivity, the Chrome Iris packs several practical tools and customizable options:

• A variety of cloud‑based watch data-faces
• Weather updates
• Alarms, reminders, stopwatch, and timer
• Compatibility with major Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth connection

These features add everyday convenience to the smartwatch experience, bridging the gap between a fitness tracker and a fully capable wearable.

Price and Availability

BoAt has priced the Chrome Iris competitively to appeal to a wide range of users:

• Starting around ₹3,499 for standard color variants
• Slightly higher for premium finishes in select models depending on the marketplace and offers available.

It’s available on major e‑commerce platforms like amazon and Flipkart, as well as through boAt’s official website and select offline stores in India.

Who Is It For?

The Chrome Iris aims to attract:

• Budget‑conscious tech enthusiasts looking for a smartwatch that doesn’t skimp on core features
• Fitness and health‑focused users who want continuous tracking and wellness insights
• Everyday users who appreciate convenience features like Bluetooth calling and quick info at a glance

Its combination of style, display quality, health monitoring, and smart features — all at a competitive price point — makes it a strong contender in the sub‑₹5,000 smartwatch segment.

Conclusion

The launch of the Chrome Iris reinforces boAt’s position in the affordable smartwatch market by delivering a well‑rounded device that balances functionality, design, and price. From a vivid AMOLED display and Bluetooth calling to comprehensive health tracking and practical utilities, the smartwatch offers a complete package for users seeking everyday smart features without breaking the bank.
