Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the 50+ sports modes on the boAt Wave Elevate. It is 5ATM certified for water resistance up to 50 meters, making it suitable for swimming and shower use.

Verdict

boAt Wave Elevate offers a good set of features like Bluetooth calling, 50+ sports modes, an IP67 rating, and 5 days of battery life at a budget price point. It could be a decent affordable smartwatch option for users looking for fitness and basic smart features.

We expect boAt to launch the Wave Elevate in Nepal as well to compete with affordable smartwatches like the Redmi Watch 3 Active. The smartwatch market is growing in Nepal and the Wave Elevate could be positioned as a value-for-money option under रु. 5,000 if priced right.
