Lava Prowatch ZN Price in India
The MRP of the silicone strap variant of Lava Prowatch ZN is Rs 4999. It has been brought at a launch price of Rs 2599. Prowatch ZN can be purchased with metal strap for Rs 2999. A silicone strap is also available with it.
The first impression of any product is its box. The packaging of Lava Prowatch ZN is quite solid. It comes in a square compact box. As soon as you open the box, the first thing you see is the watch attached with the strap and a charging cable, which can be connected to any mobile charger.
The Prowatch ZN is a watch with a circular dial. This dial is neither too big nor too small. There are two rotating crowns on the right side of the dial at the top and bottom, which are used separately. Lava claims that the dial of the Prowatch ZN is made of metal and zinc alloy. Personally, I found it quite durable. The bottom area also looked strong.
The silicone strap of the Prowatch ZN is wide and long. Its design is similar to the strap of a regular watch. The strap can be separated from the dial, which I found to be a good option, because sometimes the strap needs to be cleaned. The company claims that the strap of the Prowatch ZN is protected from the effects of sweat and water, so this watch does not stick to the hands during outdoor activities.
Due to my thin wrist, the Prowatch ZN felt a little big in my hand. My skin is sensitive, so I felt itching when I tied the strap tightly. However, the Prowatch ZN looked good in the hands of one of my colleagues. In terms of look and feel, it can compete with any expensive smartwatch.
The circular dial of the Prowatch ZN offers a 1.43-inch AMOLED display. Its resolution is 466×466 pixels. The peak brightness is 600 nits and the refresh rate is 60 Hz. All these specs add ‘gloriousness’ to the display of the Prowatch ZN. The protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 reduces the chances of scratches on the display.
The display quality of the Prowatch ZN is quite satisfactory. The display produces punchy colours that are not hard on the eyes. The display brightness is set to maximum by default. I did not lower it. Everything looked quite sharp during indoor use. The display did not disappoint even under sunlight and I was able to see the time and my step count without any interruption.
Using the Prowatch ZN is quite easy. The watch turns on by pressing the top rotating crown. I downloaded Lava’s Prospot app from the Google Play Store. After signing in and pairing the watch to Bluetooth, the Prowatch ZN started working.
First of all I changed the watch face. This option is available by rotating the top rotating crown. You can also change the watch face by going to display settings or you can change it from Prospot. Prowatch ZN supports a total of 150 watch faces.
All the features of Prowatch ZN are available by just swiping the display left and right. Bluetooth calling was the first one I used. I liked its quality. The sound of the speaker was also satisfactory. Top 10 favorite contacts can be saved so that they can be called from the watch whenever needed. You can also see phone messages on Prowatch ZN. You can get notifications of WhatsApp and Instagram.
This watch can also control the music of the phone. It connects to the phone’s camera. It has the facility of a calculator. Some games also come installed in the watch. One feature that I especially liked is that this watch works as a torch when needed.
Things can be set according to your needs by going to the settings. I did not feel the need for this as I was able to see every activity in detail on the Prospot app.
Prowatch ZN also works as a fitness tracker. It has more than 110 sports modes. I did not use any of them because time was short. However, the PPG sensor in the watch was continuously measuring my heart rate and SpO2. In both cases, I found this sensor to be accurate, because it showed my heart rate to be higher while walking. This sensor also calculated my sleep. On Tuesday night, I slept for 7 and a half hours and the watch told me that I was in deep sleep for only one and a half hours. On the first day wearing the watch, I walked 4785 steps. However, the watch was not showing every step count. 10 to 15 steps were being updated simultaneously on the display.
This watch also measures stress. Can make you do breathing exercises. I have not used these yet.
The Prowatch ZN is powered by the RTL8763EWE-VP chipset, which performs smoothly. During the three days of use, I did not face any performance related issues with the watch. The new Lava Watch has a 350mAh battery. It is claimed that it gets fully charged in 1 hour. During the three days of use, I did not need to charge the watch. The battery started at 96% and dropped to 82%.
Lava claims that the battery lasts for 7 to 8 days in normal use. If used for Bluetooth calling, you get 3 days of backup and the standby time is 15 to 20 days. Its charging cable is in magnet form, which charges the watch by sticking to the point given below the dial.
Talking about other features, Prowatch ZN supports always on display. Apart from Bluetooth calling, there is a facility of call recording. If you cannot pick up an incoming call, you can send a quick reply. It comes with IP68 rating, which means that wearing it, one can swim in clean water up to a depth of one and a half meters for 30 minutes. AI voice assistant is also provided in the watch. The most important thing is that the company is offering a 2-year warranty.
The Prowatch ZN has a lot of things that make it worth buying. First impressions may not urge you to buy the watch, but do compare it with the products on your wishlist.
