Pros and Cons

In-Box Contents

BoAt Lunar Discovery has quite a few things in the box. Here’s a YouTube Short.

The watch itself is included in the box. Then, there is a user manual, a few stickers, a BoAt Warranty card, a catalog of other BoAt products, and a charging cable.

Built Quality 4/5

This is our fourth BoAt smartwatch over the last 4 years and BoAt is still top class. For 1500 Rs the built quality is good. They have maintained their standard.

Starting with the strap which is TPU rubber material. It will hopefully go on for a few months. The frame of the watch is good quality too. The plastics used are solid. The watch feels premium and expensive.

Also, there’s IP67 which will protect from dust water splash, rain and sweat, etc. Good job BoAt went with IP67.

Note:- Word of caution the screen has a flat surface so the damage will come on the watch Frisia or dial. Get a screen protector from here. Hence for built quality, BoAt Lunar gets 4/5.

Look and Feel (4.5/5)

The first thing you will notice is the weight. It’s very lightweight at 25 grams. It feels like you are not wearing one! I prefer metal and weight on my watch. That’s why my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE (Review) has a classic stainless steel case from Spigen (Review).

Coming back to BoAt Lunar it’s all matte design and looks killer in black color. Except the strap hook and red ring around the crown, everything is black. To some extent, it gives an impression of SGW4!

As you can see, the 22-mm strap has 15 holes making it comfortable for any wrist size. We have plenty of sizes here and it has been great with tons of comfort. So for looks and feel, we would give BoAt Lunar Discovery a 4.5/5.

Screen Quality And Touch Controls (4.5/5)

BoAt Lunar Discovery offers a 1.39-inch HD circular TFT display with a 240X240p resolution. As of now, there’s no mention of brightness nits. So how’s the real user experience of a month?

Well, the display is quite bright outdoors even under direct sunlight. I never did full brightness even outdoor with dark wallpaper. Secondly, the low brightness is also toned down it will not burn your eyes at night. So for brightness no issues.

The display output is also good. Watch faces look good and overall UI is visually appealing from far as well as close. The touch is quite good.

Smartwatch Features (5/5)

2025 is a good year for BoAt smartwatches. With BoAt Lunar you can experience premium features. Like turn-by-turn navigation, BPI index monitoring, IP69 water, and dust resistance.

There’s also a watch face studio for custom watch faces, 700+ active modes, Bluetooth calling, and rewards for workout completion.

Not just that, you also have your buddies who are using BoAt smartwatches, challenge them, and see daily progress. There’s a wellness crew to challenge you with tasks.

Based on your activity and workout targets you will earn rewards as points that can be used. For health and wellness, you get heart rate and SPo2 monitoring and you can set the interval based on your needs.

There is also an energy score that BoAt calculates based on the hour of sleep or the workout you did a day ago. This score determines how much energy you have for the day. Very essential and tuff to leave.

You also have utility features like smartphone camera controls, weather updates, music controls, alarm, find my watch or phone, spot watch, timer, and live cricket scores!

So you get a feature-packed smartwatch that can keep your social notifications, calls, fitness, health, and daily routine checked! BoAt Lunar Discovery gets a 5/5 for features!

Inside Out Customisation (5/5)

A while ago, we picked Noise Twist (Review) to have a better watch face customized and BoAt had a lackluster experience.

However, BoAt has a separate app for new watches like BoAt Crest. It offers the best-predefined watch faces. What about customized wallpapers?

Well, you will love the BoAt Crest app with your new BoAt Lunar Discovery. There are so many options like font style, font size, position, etc and the result is also similar on the watch face after setting up!

Have a self look. The watch face looks quite similar to what I was expecting though the image is not doing the justice!

On top of the customization screen, there are so many options for free! Recently Noise has taken the ability to create custom watch faces unless you opt in for a paid subscription. So kudos to BoAt for keeping the basic and most personal things free.

As for outside customization, you can change the strap to any 22mm watch straps are readily available offline and in online stores like Amazon.

So for customisation, BoAt Lunar Discovery gets a 5/5.

Sport Modes, Sleep, Navigation & Setup

When you set up the watch, you will be asked about major permissions like Location access and Contacts, allow “all” as they are part of a bigger plan.

The watch has 20 default workout modes including walking, treadmill, running, badminton, football, basketball, kabaddi, etc.

For many these modes will be more than sufficient. If not, the BoAt Crest app has around 700 workouts to choose from.

Usually, many smartwatches stop here and BoAt does keep a few things up its sleeve! And that’s the customizable workout plan based on your BMI. More about it below.

How Does it Record Sleep?

Has it ever happened to you that after waking you still feel tired or go back to bed? Then there’s something that you should check out.

And that’s the quality and quantity of sleep. Some people say 8 hours should be perfect. Some say 7 hours. TBH, I am more active the next day with only 5 hours of sleep.

I know many people like me are night owls! Here’s my observation. The watch can monitor light sleep, deep sleep, and rem sleep. All have their meaning and effects on the body.

Moreover, BoAt Lunar also tells you ways to improve your quality of sleep by offering suggestions based on daily activity and workouts.

As per sleep records, I noticed the watch records a similar number of hours, however, the start and sleep times are very different. Maybe it can fixed with a software update?

For testing, I put it against Noise Twist and both recorded accurate hours while BoAt had a wrong sleeping start and waking up.

Also note: Budget smartwatches are beginners’ first step into fitness and health so do not expect too much.

For eg Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE (Review) has a more serious sleep tracker. They can track sleep even if you wake up for nature calls and then go back to sleep. Budget watches can’t do that.

Navigation on BoAt Lunar Discovery Smartwatch?

For me, Navigation was not a reason to buy this watch but yes, people on my team like it. So how does it work?

First and foremost, on your phone via the BoAt Crust app, search the destination. Since it uses MapMyIndia, it has most of the place market. I did not have a problem in New Delhi.

Once you have found your place, press start to begin the navigation. Using the crown will help to see the next few instructions.

Overall, it’s decent navigation if you are walking and don’t feel like taking your phone out in a shady area to avoid snatching.

How Accurate Are The Health Results?

Here’s something to know, that budget smartwatches are just the stepping stone into fitness.

They can track basic vitals like workout duration, distance covered, calories burned, average heart rate during workouts, steps taken, average pace, map view, etc.

There are some variations of tracking based on workouts. Let’s say the cycling session will also include a map or track view, etc.

So how accurate are the results? Well, the watch gives similar results to the Noise Twist smartwatch which is almost similarly priced.

If you remember when we covered the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE, we found it quite similar to Noise Twist. So it’s not wrong to say that BoAt Lunar Discovery track records quite accurately.

It can be a good watch for beginners, then move to Garmen smartwatches, Fitbit, Apple, or Samsung for more advanced fitness training.

How’s the BoAt Crust App UI/UX? 3.5/5

It’s decent at best. Though the watch stays responsive always everywhere some UI elements need brushing.

The weather graphics are simple. In the same way, the media control is there but you will not know the volume as there’s no slider!

Pressing the press and minus button changes things but no visual feedback. The crown or activity button sometimes snags and starts working automatically.

Again, these are not major issues but can hamper your overall experience. To sum up the app experience, BoAt has given great features but a little more time on the UI and UX would have been better.

So that’s about the watch, what about the app? Here’s more!

BoAt Crust is a great Fitness and workout app that will blow your mind. It’s not always about the workout modes it’s more about the health, the BMI tracker, offering tasks based on your body type-related task with a schedule.

Here you have a BMI or Body Mass Index feature where you will enter your height and weight. Based on the data, it will present to you a report. Thankfully, I had a normal rating. However, based on that, it gave me a plan to keep up and improve!

It’s been a while since I tested a BoAt smartwatch that worked with the Crust app, I loved it. Workouts recorded are quite accurate as we have talked about above but this one takes a deeper route to explain what needs to be done on a personal level. Some life-changing tips to have a better impact on health.

Who Should Buy BoAt Lunar Discovery Smartwatch?

This smartwatch is perfect for someone who wants to get fit and follow a workout schedule and customized workouts.

Another reason will be customizations. BoAt’s Crest app is feature-loaded and needs time to understand the functionality. We love the Watch Face customization on BoAt. The watch face we designed and the output was very similar.

Workout features and 700+ mode selection. The watch is capable of storing 20 workouts while most competitors only offer 10 in the watch. The battery backup is great too. It can easily last 4 to 5 days based on your workouts and brightness settings.

If you like to take calls via the smartwatch, you will enjoy that too. We took numerous calls while riding cycles or walking/ jogging and did not receive any complaints.

Is it All Perfect?

Nothing is perfect; everything has scope for improvement. Like, the UI needs more polish. Some elements like weather icons and text, some watch faces feel pixelated, and when pausing a workout the timer keeps going for a few seconds.

Sometimes the watch shows a different caller name when in fact someone else is calling!

Since the watch is new, these things can be rectified in the upcoming updates. In the last few weeks of testing, we did not encounter anything major like snag or auto restarting.

So Should You Buy BoAt Lunar Discovery Smartwatch?

Overall, we do not mind recommending the BoAt Lunar Discovery smartwatch to anyone. Almost all major things like step recording, sleep tracking, calorie burning, and distance covered are quite accurate.

We compare these results with SGW4 or even Noise Twist of a similar price. Please keep in mind, that these smartwatches are not medical equipment hence should not rely on these 100%. If you feel something is wrong, consult a doctor.

These statistics are fine to understand where you are heading. After 1 month of daily use, we are quite happy with the watch and you can consider it. Below are our recommendations for smartwatches you can check out for under 2000 Rs.
