boAt has just rolled out two new smartwatches: the Storm Call 4 and the Ultima Vogue 2. And here is the big thing: they are the first in India to support direct USB Type-C charging. Forget about those tiny, easy-to-lose magnetic docks. Now, you just plug in the same cable you already use for your phone, laptop, or power bank.
Why is Type-C charging important for smartwatches?
This change in smartwatches may sound small, but it is a relief for anyone who hates carrying a bunch of different chargers when they are on the move. It will help the users to simplify things and grab your Type-C cable, and you will be all set.
boAt is not just throwing features at the wall. Rather, the company has been focused on actually making smartwatches easier to live with, especially for people who depend on multiple gadgets every day.
