The Apple Watch is the gold standard in smartwatch design. This is also why we see many low-cost smartwatches imitating the Apple Watch. Even the Apple Watch Ultra has clones from brands like Firebolt and Pebble, which from a distance, seem identical to the Apple Watch Ultra. Ptron, an Indian company, has released a new wristwatch, the Force X12S, that resembles the Apple Watch Series 8. Even in terms of functionality, the Ptron Force X12S has far more than one might reasonably expect from a smartwatch costing around Rs 1,500 in India.

What are the primary characteristics of the Ptron X12S?

  • The Ptron Force X12S features a sizable 1.85-inch HD display with touch input.
  • While it won't be able to compete with the features of the Apple Watch, it's nevertheless exciting to see a low-cost smartwatch from a known brand with a vast screen, curved finish, and touch capabilities.
  • On some backgrounds, the watch has small bezels, similar to the Apple Watch.
  • On the other hand, Ptron's product features thick bezels across the panel.
  • The manufacturer has even included a functional digital crown.
  • Again, as compared to Apple's offering, the utility of the "spinning crown" is restricted.
  • It also has user-replaceable straps that appear nearly identical to Apple's offering.
  • Bluetooth calling is the one function everyone wants in a cheap wristwatch, where the watch acts as a speaker with a microphone, and the Ptron Force X12S has that covered.
  • Not only that, but the watch offers several fitness-related capabilities, such as heart rate monitoring, SpO2 monitoring, sleep monitoring, and blood pressure monitoring, as well as the ability to measure steps.

While it's nice to see so many health and fitness-related capabilities on a low-cost wristwatch, we strongly advise consumers to refrain from taking the stats displayed by this device thoughtfully. Surprisingly, the wristwatch is also IP68 water and dust resistant. Again, the firm, like every other electrical device, will not honour the guarantee if it is water damaged.

What is the cost of the Ptron Force X12S, and where can I get it?

If you're solely interested in the Ptron Force X12S for its appearance, you can acquire it. However, I suggest you want it for the features it provides. In that case, we recommend preceding this one in favour of a somewhat more expensive smartwatch from a well-known company in the wearable business. The Ptron Force X12S smartwatch is presently available for Rs 1,499 on Amazon.
