What we like about Boat Lunar Orb

  • Vibrant 1.45-inch AMOLED display with high resolution and 650 nits brightness
  • Sleek and stylish circular design with multiple strap options
  • Extensive fitness tracking with over 700 active modes
  • Useful customization features via the DIY Watch Face Studio
  • Affordable price point offering good value for money
  • Reliable Bluetooth calling with a built-in speaker and microphone
  • IP67 dust, sweat, and splash resistance for active use

What we don't like about Boat Lunar Orb

  • Inconsistent battery life, often lasting only 2 days with heavy use or AOD enabled
  • Questionable build durability, with reports of easily scratched or broken glass
  • Unreliable 'Raise to Wake' gesture and occasional touch lag
  • Inaccurate health sensors, particularly for heart rate and calorie counting
  • Frequent connectivity issues and software glitches during phone syncing
  • Poor quality of the metal strap lock mechanism in some units
  • Slow OS response time and thick screen bezels

Verdict

The boAt Lunar Orb is a feature-rich smartwatch featuring a 1.45-inch (3.68 cm) AMOLED display with 466 x 466 pixel resolution, 650 nits peak brightness, and Always-On functionality. It is equipped with Bluetooth calling via a built-in speaker and microphone, an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, and an extensive library of over 700 active sports modes. Key health monitoring includes SpO2 and heart rate tracking, alongside unique features like live cricket and football scores and a DIY Watch Face Studio for deep customisation. Main pros include its vibrant, high-resolution screen, robust sports tracking, and affordable price point. However, notable cons include an average battery life that drops significantly to around 2 days when using Always-On display or frequent calling, lack of built-in GPS, and reports of thick bezels or occasional inaccuracies in fitness sensor data.
