On Tuesday, March 19, the Airtel Payments Bank smartwatch was introduced in India. This is the telecom operator's first smartwatch product and signifies their entry into the market. The wearable company Noise and payment technology provider Mastercard worked together to develop the smartwatch. The primary feature of the Airtel smartwatch is its NFC capability, which enables users to send and receive up to Rs. 25,000 daily through contactless "Tap and Pay" transactions.
The price of the smartwatch from Airtel Payments Bank is fixed at Rs. 2,999. It comes in three color options: grey, blue, and black. Nevertheless, the smartwatch is exclusively available for purchase by current Airtel Payments Bank members. Prior to ordering the wearable device, a digital bank account must be created. The Airtel watch is immediately available for purchase and is currently on sale. Only the Airtel Thanks app is available for purchase. Both physical stores and other e-commerce platforms do not sell it.
Through the use of the Airtel Payments Bank, contactless payments can be made with Airtel's first smartwatch thanks to its NFC chip. Activating the device requires connecting the Thanks app to the savings bank account.
In Point of Sale (POS) devices equipped with tap-and-pay capabilities, users can initiate payment transactions instantly upon connecting it. Customers can use the device to make daily payments of up to Rs. 25,000. Mastercard, which supports the NFC chip throughout its network, is the smartwatch's technology provider.
According to the press release, Noise is the company that designed and made the Airtel smartwatch. With 550 nits of brightness and 150 cloud-based watch faces, it has a 1.85-inch square TFT display. Stress monitoring and a SpO2 sensor are two of the health and fitness functions available on the Airtel watch. It is certified IP68 to be resistant to dust and water, and it can make Bluetooth calls. Up to 10 days, according to the company, can pass between charges for the smartwatch's battery.
