Verdict

The Boult Audio Drift Plus is a feature-packed budget smartwatch headlined by a large 1.85-inch HD display with 500 nits of brightness and a durable IP68 water-resistant build. It offers seamless Bluetooth 5.1 calling with a dedicated speaker and microphone, alongside a comprehensive health suite that tracks 24/7 heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure, and female menstrual cycles. Key pros include its versatile fitness tracking with over 100 sports modes, access to 150+ custom watch faces, and a reliable battery that lasts up to 7 days on a single charge. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS for independent route tracking and the absence of an Always-On Display (AOD) feature.
