Fire-Boltt’s newest watch fixes the biggest issue with the Fire-Boltt Dream

Fire-Boltt Oracle smartwatch launched with Android OS, Bluetooth connectivity

Fire-Boltt launched the Fire-Boltt Dream earlier this year, making it one of the first affordable smartwatches to feature a full-fledged Android operating system on the device. However, the watch had one critical flaw, and that was no Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to only use it as a standalone device, and not pair it with their smartphones.

That changes with the new Fire-Boltt Oracle, another Android-powered smartwatch that promises the versatility of an Android smartwatch with the convenience of a Bluetooth-powered companion for your phone. Here’s all you need to know about this watch.

Fire-Boltt Oracle: What’s new?

The Fire-Boltt Oracle comes with a 1.96-inch display with a 320 x 360 pixels resolution. This panel comes with a brightness of 600 nits and a 60Hz refresh rate. Surrounded by a 49mm rectangular dial, the Fire-Boltt Oracle takes a lot of inspiration from the Apple Watch Ultra series, and everything from the crown and the side-button look similar to Apple’s smartwatch.

The Fire-Boltt Oracle comes with support for a physical nano-SIM card. This allows users to insert a 4G nano-SIM in the phone and use it for data services as well as calling. The watch also comes with an unspecified version of Android, which means users get access to a plethora of third-party apps and services.

Unlike the Fire-Boltt Dream, the Oracle also features Bluetooth connectivity, which means if you’re not using it as a standalone device, you can also pair the watch to your smartphone and use it like a regular smartwatch. The watch supports notifications from your phone, including missed calls, Instagram notifications, or emails you may want to have a look at.

Powering the Fire-Boltt Oracle is an unspecified quad-core CPU, and the watch also features 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and support for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. Coupled with an IP67 rating, this is easily a full-fledged smartphone on your wrist. Other features include replaceable straps, multiple health-tracking features including heart-rate and SpO2 monitoring, as well as a step-counter.

Pricing and availability

The Fire-Boltt Oracle is priced at Rs 4,999 at launch, and will be available in eight colour variants. These are Eclipse Flex, Marine Mirage, Onyx Wave, Orange Horizon, Cloud Whisper, Cloudy Clasp, Black Chrome and Crystal Tide. The watch is available to purchase from the Fire-Boltt website starting today.
