Display, Design and Build Quality
The Portronics Kronos Beta features a 1.28-inch round TFT touchscreen display, giving it a classic watch aesthetic. The body is constructed from a combination of aluminum and polycarbonate, keeping it lightweight while maintaining durability. The watch carries an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand water and dust exposure, making it safe for daily wear even in rain or during workouts.
Storage and Music Playback
One of the standout features of the Kronos Beta is its 512MB onboard storage, which can hold up to 300 songs. Users can play music directly from the watch without needing a paired smartphone — a rare offering at this price point. The watch connects to a companion app and uses Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless pairing with earphones or speakers.
Fitness Tracking and Watch Faces
For health and fitness enthusiasts, the Kronos Beta offers 24x7 real-time heart rate monitoring and 10 sport modes to track activities such as running, walking, and stair climbing. The watch supports more than 100 watch faces, and users can even design a custom watch face through the companion app, adding a personal touch to the device.
Battery Life and Charging
The smartwatch is powered by a 240mAh battery that Portronics claims delivers up to 7 days of battery backup on a full charge. Charging from zero to full takes approximately 1 hour, which is competitive for a device in this category.
