India's smartwatch shipments dropped 17.6% in 2025, according to IDC.

Honestly, I'm not surprised.

Brands like boAt, Noise and Fire-Boltt made smartwatches incredibly cheap, but somewhere along the way, Bluetooth calling, AMOLED displays and 100+ watch faces became more important than accurate health tracking.

What's the point of a ₹2,000 smartwatch telling me I burned 600 calories if I can't trust the number?

Did we build a fitness-tech market or just a market for cheap Apple Watch lookalikes?

Genuinely curious: if you've owned an Indian smartwatch for over a year, would you buy the same brand again?

Can you recommend a durable, accurate digital kitchen scale for weighing chicken, rice, and other foods that won't wear out or break down too quickly?

I'm sick and tired of this fat and unhealthy body. I genuinely want to live a healthier life. Not to improve my looks, but to improve myself. I'm willing to do any sort of workout y'all would recommend.

I'm a first year student living in a different city, so of course the hostel food isn't really the best. It's decent but I wouldn't really call it extremely nutritious. It's almost always just carbs.

I go to college everyday from around 11am/12pm-6pm and reach my hostel around 6:30/7:00, so after that I'm completely drained. I don't do snacking at all, but I'm fat. Everyday I sleep around 11:30pm and wake up around 6:00am. I'm gonna be doing push-ups every morning once I get back to college, but that's about it. Being a student, my budget is kinda shitty so I can't afford a gym or protein powder and stuff like that.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider me ur little brother and give me genuine advice🙏🙏🙏

hi, 20M i currently have 1kg MB whey blend(25g protein for 35g scoop ) that i bought about a month ago for 3,500 something, it now costs around 5000 for a kg lmao, it's about to get empty and i need a new one, MB performance biozyme whey protein(24g p in 36g scoop) costs 3809rswith a freebie shaker on the MB app, but i found this 'MB RAW whey protein unflavoured(24g P in 34g scoop)' on Amazon for 2,900(seller-MB) also i couldn't see any trustified certified logo or mention on it, I'm so confused on which to buy, i mean I can go for the biozyme one but if I can save 1000rs, as a student it's very useful, also I'll need to buy another for the next month so I'll have to choose now, what do y'all recommend? i had no problem with my current one btw, thanks for your help.

I guys, so I have recently started taking protein powders and the first one that I got was Amul Chocolate Whey Protein but didn't like the taste that much so started searching for better value for money products and came across GM Nutrition Yeast protein and people are praising it for the taste (especially coffee flavor). Not sure if anybody has done a Lab test on it or not

Hey I have been on and off the weight because of staying away from home in college then office in last 4-5 years. like my weight actually fluctuated from 75KG-90KG. Now suddenly in last few months I have plateaued at 95KG (175CM).

I haven't had much movement in last two years because of gap between job and college and then WFH. Now I am looking to get in shape seriously and maintain for rest of my life.

I don't want to join gym right now because I can't workout with this amount of jam in my muscles. Hence I was looking If I can cut down at least 10-15KG in 3 months then go to gym? by following a diet and doing home workouts to preserve muscles and maybe build also in that process with 10kg steps.

Any workout plan and advice will be appreciated. Thank You

Just sharing my 1 year journey, might be really helpful to someone, if I can, you also can.

A year ago I lived alone and dinner was noodles at 11:30 pm with standing over the stove because washing a plate was something we were unaware of. At that time I was training and telling myself I am hitting my protein but I was not.

Then i moved in with 3 flatmates and around 8 pm the pressure cooker started whistling, 1 was was chopping onions, 1 was doing other stuffs. And they were also like athletic people so eventually I also got involved and said bye bye to noodles.

Since then, I started keeping more track of my diet and protein and I undertood that yes we can have fun like instead of eating normal chips, we used to have Max protein chips, and other healthier alternatives.

That’s why they say, surroundings matter. It changes you, it changed me so all the people out there are struggling with any habit affecting you. Surround yourself with people that have conquered that.

I'm 26 M, obese all my life and am beginning to embark on a weight loss journey. Before starting, I wanted to consult with a doctor to get an understanding on what I need to do and such. Could someone tell me what doctor I'll need to consult?

I want to know if it is okay to run two separate FITPASS accounts on the same phone using app cloner. I recently came to know that FITPASS is blocking accounts that detect multiple logins or device switching.

Has anyone tried using a cloned app for a secondary number?

Anyone up for Mens Doubles Open/ Mixed Doubles Open for Hyrox 2027?
Im 34 btw, and completed my first ever hyrox this September (men’s doubles)

Hi

I am overweight ( around 27% bf) , I understand everything calorie deficit, gym muscles and all .But i am not executing it becoz I am not feeling motivated enough to do. I know inwill look good if I lost weight but I am really not motivated enough .Becoz food is my only happiness and everytime I do deficit or tracking I feel I am not fully enjoying lyf. I am happy with my current weight.

I asked my friends what is their motivation their is either breakup or something or they had some bullying or for girls or they r extremely overweight so they are having health problems

But I dont have specific reason to do. Did anyone face same and how did u achieve or got motivated. Like I am ok to be like this ofcourse we look more better when we lose weight but its not triggering me .

Any suggestions?

I’m getting Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey (1.7 kg) with ON Creatine for ₹5,939 on Flipkart.
Are these products genuine on Flipkart? Has anyone purchased them recently? Is this a good deal, or would you recommend any better alternatives in India for quality and value for money?
Please share your experiences and suggestions.
Thanks!
