The boAt Lunar Vista is a budget round-dial smartwatch with a 1.52-inch display, a functional rotating crown, heart-rate and SpO2 tracking, 100+ sports modes and, according to boAt’s own product and support pages, Bluetooth calling from the wrist. It suits first-time smartwatch buyers in India who want a large, classic-looking round face for notifications, calls and everyday activity tracking, rather than serious runners or anyone who needs GPS.
Our short verdict: the Lunar Vista is a sensible pick if screen size and a traditional watch look matter more to you than display technology. The trade-offs are a TFT panel instead of AMOLED, no built-in GPS in any specification we found, and some inconsistent figures (battery life, water rating and warranty) across boAt’s own pages and retailer listings.
How this article was prepared: it is based on boAt’s official product and support pages, a launch report and a major Indian retailer’s spec sheet, all checked on 17 October 2026. We have not tested the watch hands-on, and we did not find an independent review with measured battery or sensor-accuracy results for this model, so we make no claims about real-world performance beyond what the sources state.
Quick verdict
- Best for: first-time smartwatch users who want a big round display, wrist calling and basic health tracking
- Skip if: you need GPS, an AMOLED screen, swim tracking or medical-grade readings
- Key strengths: 1.52-inch round display listed at 360 x 360 pixels, rotating functional crown, Bluetooth calling with a built-in mic, 100+ sports modes, AI voice assistant shortcut, IP67 rating
- Key limitations: TFT panel (not AMOLED), no GPS listed, IP67 is not meant for swimming, battery-life and warranty figures differ between sources

A note on conflicting numbers: FoneArena reported IP68, while boAt lists IP67 and Croma splits it into IP67 for water and IP68 for dust. Where sources disagree, we follow boAt’s official pages and the more conservative figure.
Design and the functional crown
The Lunar Vista uses a round dial, which gives it the look of a conventional wristwatch rather than the rectangular “fitness band” shape common at this price. boAt’s official colour options are Active Black, Deep Blue, Cool Grey, Metal Silver and Olive Green. The affiliate link in this article opens the Cool Grey variant, and Croma lists the Cool Grey model with a silicone strap. FoneArena’s launch report mentioned both silicone and metallic strap options across the range, so if you want a metal strap, check the colour and strap description carefully before ordering.
The headline physical control is a functional crown. boAt says you can twist and press it to move through notifications and apps, and the support page explains that rotating the side button scrolls through watch faces while a short press selects. In practice, a rotating crown helps on any round touchscreen because it lets you scroll lists without your finger covering the content you are trying to read.
Display: big, round and bright on paper
The 1.52-inch screen is the main reason to consider this watch. A larger round display shows more of a notification, a dial pad or a workout screen at once, which is helpful if you read messages on your wrist often. boAt’s support page identifies the panel as a TFT, and FoneArena and Croma list a 360 x 360 pixel resolution with 550 nits of brightness.
Why the panel type matters: TFT screens are cheaper to make than AMOLED and generally cannot match AMOLED for deep blacks and contrast. The Amazon.in listing title mentions AOD, but keeping it on all day on a backlit TFT panel will likely cut battery life below the headline claims.
Bluetooth calling and smart features
The Amazon.in listing title we observed does not mention Bluetooth calling, so we checked it separately. boAt’s official product page describes “advanced Bluetooth Calling” over Bluetooth 5.3, and the FoneArena launch report lists a built-in microphone, a quick dial pad and space to save up to 10 contacts on the watch. Croma’s listing title also includes Bluetooth calling. Even so, confirm that the feature appears on the exact Amazon.in listing before you buy, since retailer titles sometimes omit details.
Calls run through your paired phone, so it needs to stay within range. boAt’s support page recommends about 7 metres without obstructions.
Other features listed by boAt and FoneArena include:
- AI voice assistant shortcut for spoken commands
- Call, message and app notifications
- Music control and camera shutter control for your phone
- Weather, alarm, timer, stopwatch and countdown
- Find My Phone
- 100+ watch faces, including customisable faces according to FoneArena
- Sedentary reminders and guided breathing
Health and fitness tracking
According to boAt’s support page, the Lunar Vista tracks heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), sleep, stress, steps, daily activity and an “energy score”. FoneArena’s launch report also lists a menstrual tracker. There are 100+ sports modes, and you select an activity on the watch before starting a session.
boAt’s support page states that the watch “is not a medical grade equipment” and that hair, tattoos, skin tone, scars and fit can affect heart-rate and SpO2 readings, so treat the numbers as wellness trends. It also notes that sleep sessions under three hours are not recorded.
None of the official pages or retailer listings we checked mention built-in GPS, so outdoor runs and rides rely on motion sensors for distance estimates. If route maps or accurate pace matter to you, look elsewhere.
Battery life and charging
The Lunar Vista has a 290 mAh battery, according to boAt’s support page and Croma. boAt quotes up to 2 days with Bluetooth calling enabled and up to 30 days on standby. For normal use, the figures differ: the support page says up to 7 days, while the product page says up to 10 days.
Battery claims are usually measured with light use, so frequent calling, always-on display, high brightness and continuous monitoring will shorten real-world life. A full charge takes about 2 hours using the magnetic cable, and boAt recommends a 5V 2A adapter, noting that a computer USB port charges more slowly.
Who should buy it and who should skip it
Buy the boAt Lunar Vista if you want a large round display at a budget level, you take quick calls from your wrist while your phone is in a bag or charging, and you mostly need notifications, step counts, sleep tracking and basic workout logging.
Skip it if you run or cycle outdoors and want accurate routes and pace (no GPS listed), you swim (IP67 is a splash and dust rating, not a swim rating), you prefer the richer contrast of an AMOLED panel, or you need dependable health data for a medical condition.
Alternatives worth comparing
- boAt Lunar Connect Plus: a smaller 1.43-inch round AMOLED display, single-chip Bluetooth calling over Bluetooth 5.3 and an IP68 rating. Choose it if AMOLED contrast matters more than screen size. Note that boAt’s page gives both 10-day and 15-day battery figures.
- boAt Lunar Connect Ace: a 1.43-inch AMOLED display rated at 700 nits with always-on support, Bluetooth calling with up to 10 saved contacts, IP68, and up to 10 days normal use or about 3 days with calling, per boAt. A better choice for outdoor readability on paper.
- Fire-Boltt Phoenix Pro: a round watch with a metal body, a smaller 1.39-inch 240 x 240 TFT display at 280 nits, Bluetooth 5.0 calling, 120+ sports modes and IP67, according to Croma. Worth a look if you prefer a metal case, though its screen is smaller and dimmer than the Lunar Vista’s on paper.
What to check before you order
- Variant and colour: this link opens the Cool Grey model. Confirm the colour and strap type shown on the listing match what you want, as other colours are separate listings.
- Bluetooth calling: the Amazon.in title we checked does not mention it. Look for it in the listing’s feature bullets before buying if calling is important to you.
- Warranty: boAt’s product page mentions a 12-month standard warranty plus a 3-month extension for purchases made on or after 15 April 2025, while its FAQ and Croma’s spec table say 12 months. Check the warranty stated on the Amazon.in listing and keep your invoice.
- Companion app: boAt’s product page names the boAt Crest app, while the support page names the boAt Wearables app. Use the QR code in the box manual to install the correct app.
- Phone compatibility: boAt lists Android 7 and above and iOS 12.0 and above.
- Box contents: the watch, a magnetic charging cable, a user manual and a warranty card. No power adapter is listed.

Final thoughts
The boAt Lunar Vista makes the most sense as an affordable, large-screen round smartwatch for calls, notifications and everyday tracking. Its 1.52-inch display and rotating crown are its strongest selling points, while the TFT panel, missing GPS and inconsistent battery and warranty figures are the main reasons to compare it with AMOLED alternatives such as the boAt Lunar Connect Ace before deciding.
