Market Context & Competition


Vivo isn’t new to the wearables space, but the Watch 5 shows a maturing strategy. 

With brands like Samsung and Apple maintaining dominance in the high-end market, and Amazfit leading fitness-first designs, Vivo positions the Watch 5 as an intelligent daily driver - stylish enough to wear all day, powerful enough to track all activities, and affordable enough for mainstream Indian buyers.

In recent years, more Indian users have shifted away from basic fitness bands toward watches with fuller screens and smart features. 

The Vivo Watch 5 rides this trend while offering a more polished design than Realme’s budget models and more battery than Galaxy Watch 6.

What to Expect on Launch Day


For those planning to grab the Vivo Watch 5 during its India debut, tipster Anuj Sharma, a senior India-based wearables analyst, advises:


“Expect limited stock on launch day due to high pre-booking demand from Vivo fans. Keep notifications on for the official Vivo Store and Flipkart at 12 PM sharp.”

Retailers like Croma and Reliance Digital are also expected to stock early units. Vivo is likely to bundle early-bird deals, including discounted straps and cashback offers on UPI transactions.
 

Expert Insights


Zhao Ming, Vivo’s Senior Product Director, stated during the China launch:


“With the Watch 5, we’ve combined AI innovation and human wellness to create a watch that adapts to every lifestyle - from quiet evenings to active mornings.”

His emphasis on AI health tracking aligns with industry trends, where wearables are no longer just about counting steps but predicting stress, guiding sleep, and even prompting mindfulness.

Hands-On First Impressions


In my brief hands-on during a Vivo pop-up demo in Delhi, the Watch 5 felt lighter than expected. The straps hugged comfortably, and the AMOLED screen was punchy even under direct light.

Navigating between watch faces, heart rate metrics, and activity rings was smooth - no lag, no hesitation. The haptic feedback felt gentle yet precise, which is a welcome change from the heavy vibrations in previous budget wearables.

User Reaction


On IndiaTechForum, an early Chinese-import user going by the handle “Ravi_Droid” wrote:


“I switched from Amazfit GTR 2 and didn’t expect the Watch 5 to feel this responsive. It feels snappier and the sleep insights are actually more helpful than I imagined.”

Users on Reddit’s r/IndianTech are also praising the battery life and ease of sync with Vivo’s companion app, even on non-Vivo Android phones.

One UI 8 Testing Has Started: Full List of Samsung Galaxy Phones Eligible for the Android 16 Update I still remember the buzz in our newsroom the first time Samsung introduced One UI back in 2018.

WhatsApp Just Stopped Working on iPhone 6 Urgent Alert for Users

WhatsApp Ends Support for iPhone 6: Users Locked Out After August Update I still remember standing outside a buzzing Apple store in Delhi in early May, interviewing Rishi, a college student who had queued up for a refurbished iPhone 8.  He looked visibly frustrated. “WhatsApp just stopped working on my iPhone 6 yesterday,” he said, holding up the device with a cracked screen.  He had missed a crucial update from his internship coordinator due to the app cutoff. “I didn’t even know support had ended.” That moment stuck with me - not because of the technicality of a software update, but because of the very real impact it had on someone trying to climb up in life with limited tools. And he’s not alone. This article explains why WhatsApp ended support for older iPhones, running iOS below 15.1, including the iPhone 5s, 6, and 6 Plus who it impacts, and what steps affected users can take immediately to stay connected. This move, while expected by some in the tech community, has caug...

Threads App Update: New Shortcuts for Saved & Liked Posts

Meta Threads App Adds New Sidebar Shortcuts: Saved and Liked Posts Now 1 Tap Away This article explores the latest Threads update that adds shortcuts for ‘Saved’ and ‘Liked’ posts It was just past midnight when I instinctively reached for my phone - scrolling through Threads had become my late-night routine. The interface felt different that day. In the sidebar, two new icons had quietly appeared: "Saved" and "Liked." A subtle change, yet one that immediately improved my navigation through the app.  Hours later, Twitter's most consistent tech tipster, Ahmed Ghanem (@ahmedghanem), confirmed the update in his characteristically crisp style. "#Threads added shortcuts for “Saved” and “Liked” posts in the app’s new side menu." As someone who follows platform shifts professionally and personally, this update, and Ghanem’s precise tipoff, signaled something deeper than UX tweaks.  It echoed the evolving strategy of Meta's Twitter-competitor to quietly but...
