boAt launches India's first Type-C charging Smartwatch lineup

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], May 29 (ANI): boAt, India's No.1 audio and wearables brand, has launched the country's first Type-C charging smartwatch lineup with the introduction of the Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2. The new smartwatches bring direct USB Type-C charging support to wearables, allowing users to charge their watches using the same cable used across smartphones, laptops, tablets and power banks.
The launch aims to address one of the most common pain points in the smartwatch category, i.e. dependence on proprietary charging docks and separate wearable chargers. As consumers increasingly operate across multiple connected devices, convenience and interoperability are becoming important considerations within the wearable segment.
Commenting on the launch, Gaurav Nayyar, CEO, boAt, said, "At boAt, our innovation philosophy has always been centered around making everyday technology experiences simpler and more convenient for everyone. Consumers today expect technology experiences that are intuitive, seamless and built around everyday convenience. With Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2, we are bringing the simplicity of Type-C charging to smartwatches, enabling a more practical and hassle-free wearable experience for users operating across multiple connected devices."
The Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2 combine direct USB Type-C charging support with Bluetooth calling, health monitoring capabilities, IP68 resistance and up to seven days of battery life. While the Storm Call 4 features a large HD display, functional crown support and fitness tracking capabilities, the Ultima Vogue 2 offers an AMOLED display, metallic frame design and enhanced outdoor brightness for a more premium smartwatch experience.
Both smartwatches support heart rate monitoring, SpO₂ tracking, sleep tracking, stress monitoring, emergency SOS and over 100 sports modes. The boAt Storm Call 4 will be available at ₹1,599, while the boAt Ultima Vogue 2 will be priced at ₹2,799.
