1. Apple Watch Series 9

If your dad is an iPhone user, the obvious choice is the Apple Watch Series 9. We’d recommend the Series 9 over other models for its slim and elegant design, and more importantly, the health tracking features that come with it. This includes the blood oxygen app and ECG app, sleep stages, and more. This Watch also has features like Crash Detection and Fall Detection, not to mention seamless integration within the Apple ecosystem and the ability to control compatible smart home devices.

Paying more for the cellular model can be useful if your dad doesn’t like being tethered to his phone. If the health features aren’t needed, we’d recommend the Apple Watch SE (2). The Ultra 2 is also a great choice, but only if your dad doesn’t mind a chunky smartwatch.

2. Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic

If you’re looking for something with a bit more timeless elegance, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic. With its round face and metal finish, this beauty looks very much like a classic, dad-friendly wristwatch thanks to a blend of Samsung elegance and an iconic design. This watch also detects and tracks heart rate, falls, integrates various fitness tracking features, and more. A must-have for any android-loving, tech-savvy dad who appreciates the classics.

3. Nothing Watch Pro

The Nothing Watch Pro by CMF is our pick for those dads who’d like a modern design in a budget-friendly package. It’s a great deal for just Rs 3,999 since it offers a lot of value.

You get a great design from a company that’s focused on design, and you also get heart rate and blood oxygen tracking, fitness tracking, 13 days of battery life, and a lot more besides. The AMOLED display features some very elegant watch faces, and you get several strap options to choose from to match your dad’s wardrobe.

4. Fire-Boltt Invincible Plus

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that comes in a classic shell, you can’t go wrong with the Fire-Boltt Invincible Plus. The design harks back to those iconic, metal smartwatches from your dad’s era, but modernises the design with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display. It also hosts a bunch of smart features including the usual SpO2 and heart-rate tracking, as well as a sleep monitor, calorie counter, and various sports modes. Battery life also comes in at a respectable seven days so your dad need not worry about looking for a charger frequently.

5. Amazfit Pop 3R

Another watch with a retro design and smart feature, the Amazfit Pop 3R is a great choice for something with basic smartwatch features but a more premium finish. The watch looks amazing in black, and will look great on your dad’s wrist. We love the watch faces available for that 1.43-inch HD AMOLED display, and of course the 100+ integrated sports tracking modes, heart rate and SpO2 monitors, and sleep tracking. At 12 days, battery life is excellent, and the device is rated to be IP68 water and dust resistant.

Five great options at five great prices. Any of these smartwatches will make the perfect gift for dad this Father’s Day. Be sure to pick one that matches his style and taste in both the wardrobe department as well as technolo
