boAt has also widened its range of wearable devices in India with the “Valour Ring 1”, a smart ring which has been specifically designed for always-on health and fitness monitoring. While smartwatches can track health metrics in the background, the new smart ring enables the user to wear a normal watch on their hand.
It sports a light titanium body and has been designed for those customers who are looking for a small wearable.
boAt Valour Ring 1: Price in India and availability
The new boAt Valour Ring 1 has been priced at Rs. 11,999 and will be available on Amazon, Flipkart and Boat’s official website. It will also be sold from the selected offline retail stores.
The ring comes in various sizes – from 7 to 12 – and has a Carbon Black matte finish only (with no optional variants)
boAt also provides a ring sizing kit, which enables customers to measure their finger size at home before ordering, and once the size is confirmed, they can easily book the watch.

Design, weight and durability
As mentioned earlier, the ring is built with a titanium frame and weighs around 6 grams. It comes with 5 ATM water resistance, which makes it suitable for swimming and showers.
It is a must to mention that it has no display, keeping the design clean and comfortable for all-day wear.
Who should buy the new boAt Valour Ring 1?
Valour Ring 1 is best for those who want health tracking without a smartwatch. As I personally prefer something lightweight, this band is easy to wear and carry, also adding a style statement to the user – certainly a smart addition to the overall look.
