The popularity of smartwatches has changed considerably over the past two years, and we now tend to expect certain capabilities, like as heart rate and SpO2 tracking, high-resolution colour screens, and the capacity to receive notifications from multiple apps, on more cheap models. A major new trend in smartwatches is Bluetooth calling. Since this feature was previously only available on more expensive smartwatches, consumers are drawn to the convenience of being able to take calls on their wrist.
Noise's newest product, the ColorFit Pro 4

, enters the Bluetooth calling market. This wristwatch, which costs Rs. 3,499, makes a lot of promises at a very affordable price, including the capability to make and receive calls on your wrist.
Design and specifications for Noise ColorFit Pro 4.
Affordable smartwatches frequently feature the rectangular dial design made popular by the Apple Watch series, and the Noise ColorFit Pro 4 is no exception. The touchscreen on the smartwatch is a 1.72-inch TFT LCD touch screen with a maximum brightness of 500 nits and a resolution of 356x400 pixels. It is possible to view text and data on the screen with ease because the screen is quite sharp and detailed.
There are plenty of options when it comes to how flashy or distinctive you want the Noise ColorFit Pro 4 to look because it comes in six different colours. For the price, I thought my review unit's silver-gray body and grey 22mm replaceable silicone straps were quite attractive to look at. Although the screen has quite substantial borders, they are hardly noticeable in normal use if you use a watch face with a black background.
The Noise ColorFit Pro 4 sports a small speaker grille on the left side and a microphone on the right side, both of which are utilised for Bluetooth calling.
The Noise ColorFit Pro 4 charging cable and a few paperwork and user manuals are included in the sales package. The smartwatch is 24.1g in weight and connects through Bluetooth 5.3. Additionally, the screen may be awakened with the lift-to-wake motion thanks to the accelerometer.
The Noise ColorFit Pro 4's software is straightforward and designed to complement the hardware aspects of the watch, similar to most inexpensive smartwatches. The gadget also serves as a notification receiver, showing notifications and giving you a quick preview of text-based alerts from your smartphone. Additionally, the ColorFit Pro 4 has Bluetooth calling capabilities that enable it to operate as a Bluetooth speaker and microphone system when coupled with your smartphone.
On your smartphone, the Bluetooth calling feature is listed as a second Bluetooth device. The Noise ColorFit Pro 4 can be used to make and receive calls from your smartphone when associated with this second device, just like any other Bluetooth audio device. Simply unplug the Bluetooth gadget from your smartphone as needed to discontinue using it. This has no impact on the synchronisation and notification connection because it is paired as a separate device and is always active in low-energy mode.

It's interesting to note that the Noise ColorFit Pro 4 includes interactive, dynamic watch faces that can be used to connect with the corresponding apps and view specific statistics. Although high-end smartwatches frequently have this capability, less expensive devices like this don't frequently have these watch faces, so this is a helpful addition. Unfortunately, the screen doesn't have an always-on mode. The lift-to-wake motion or pressing the button are required to activate the screen; when the watch is in standby, tapping the screen has no effect.
While the visible widgets and apps vary depending on the watch face being worn, it is typically easy to see the primary features on the Noise ColorFit Pro 4's home screen. My favourite watch face on the gadget showed battery life, heart rate, steps, and heart rate details, as well as buttons to access the exercise and activity screens.
Through the smartphone app, you may also download and use a variety of additional watch faces, however most of these are static and lack the advantages of dynamic watch faces. The Noise ColorFit Pro 4's user interface is straightforward, looks beautiful on the sharp screen, and makes it simple to access most settings and tasks with a few taps or swipes.
The Noise ColorFit Pro 4's app drawer may be accessed simply pushing the physical button once to reveal the list of apps. The smartphone comes with a number of apps, including Noise Health, Noise Buzz (a Bluetooth calling app), Clock (which has utilities like a stopwatch, timer, and alarms), weather, stocks, a flashlight, and watch faces. The smartwatch cannot be configured to run any other apps, but you can download watch faces using the NoiseFit app on your smartphone.

The Noise ColorFit Pro 4 and your smartphone are connected via the NoiseFit app, which is available for iOS and Android. Once synchronised, fitness and health data can be examined in detail on the app, and settings for the device, including notification alerts, automatic heart rate tracking, weather settings, and more, may be changed. The app also allows for software updates.
Additionally, the app allows you to make custom watch faces for the device and download and sync new watch faces from the gallery. During my time examining the smartwatch, the software was well-designed, kept a solid connection with the Noise ColorFit Pro 4, and reliably pushed notifications and synchronised data.
Noise ColorFit Pro 4 battery life and performance
The Noise ColorFit Pro 4 functions best as an add-on and notification device for your smartphone, similar to other reasonably priced smartwatches. With the Noise ColorFit Pro 4, you have a big, clear screen, the flexibility to change watch faces to suit your mood, and the assurance that you won't need to take out your smartphone to check for app alerts.
There is also the Bluetooth calling feature, which I found to be useful under some circumstances. The Noise ColorFit Pro 4's speaker and microphone are minimal, so don't anticipate being able to conduct lengthy conversations with it; it wouldn't even be particularly comfortable.
