The days of using a watch just to look at the time are long gone. Now, we have smart watches that have smartphone-like features. Obviously, a watch is never going to be as powerful as a smartphone. But, you can still do cool things with your watch. You can use your watch to take photos, make phone calls, store documents, play games, e.t.c. All of these features have significantly increased the demand for smartwatches worldwide. The same trend is present in Nepal as well. So, most smartphone manufacturers are investing heavily in smartwatches. This has resulted in some very powerful smartwatches being unveiled.
Let’s look at some smartwatches in Nepal that are great and provide great value for the money you pay.

There are many versions of the Apple watch series 5 in Nepal. But, the 44mm version with cellular as well as GPS is one of the most expensive smartwatches in Nepal. Since the price of smartwatches are always fluctuating, we cannot say for sure it is the most expensive smartwatch in Nepal.
The IP68 rating means that your smartwatch can be submerged in 1.5 meters deep freshwater water for 30 minutes without any consequences. 5 ATM rating means that your watch can withstand a pressure of 50 meters of water column for 30 minutes. None of these means that you can take your smartwatch with you during a swim or a shower.
Things like this are always debatable. Every brand says that the OS they are using is the best. But, in my personal opinion, currently, the best smartwatch OS is watchOS 7.
Because when Apple makes a product they do not have to compromise the quality of their product to fit a certain budget. Plus, the resources Apple has also allowed it to invest heavily in research & development.
Yes, Samsung smartwatches are really good too. Although I find Apple smartwatches to be better than Samsung smartwatches, other people may feel differently.
Relatively cheap smartwatches like Mi band 4 are probably among the best selling smartwatches in Nepal. But, the data on the best-selling smartwatch in Nepal is hard to find.
Apple is probably the most reliable smartwatch brand in Nepal. But, that reliability comes with a big price. If you want a cheap and reliable smartwatch, Xiaomi is a very reliable brand.
On paper, Amazfit T-rex is the smartwatch with the best battery life in Nepal. Its normal usage battery life is 20 days.
Yes, a smartwatch should feel comfortable in your hand. You could get every smartwatch feature on a smartphone. But, people use smartwatches because taking a smartphone out of their pocket and using it is not always convenient. So, if the weight of a smartwatch causes inconvenience then you should not buy them because there is probably a lighter alternative to the smartwatch you want.
In most cases, an expensive smartwatch will have more features than a cheaper smartwatch. If a smartwatch is expensive but there are cheaper and better smartwatches in the market, then the expensive smartwatch will probably be pushed out of the market.
