The Noise Pulse 2 Max (sold on Noise’s own store as the Noise ColorFit Pulse 2 Max) is a budget Bluetooth-calling smartwatch with a large 1.85-inch LCD screen, a claimed 550 nits of brightness and up to 10 days of typical battery life. In short, it suits first-time smartwatch buyers in India who want a big, readable display, call handling from the wrist and basic health tracking, but it is not the right pick for anyone who needs built-in GPS, an AMOLED panel or swim tracking.
The Amazon.in listing this article links to is the Jet Black version, titled “Noise Pulse 2 Max 1.85″ Display, Bluetooth Calling Smart Watch, 10 Days Battery, 550 NITS Brightness, Smart DND, 100 Sports Modes” (checked on 17 October 2026, when it was in stock). Other colours exist, but they are separate listings, so confirm the colour shown on the product page before you order.
A quick note on method: this Noise Pulse 2 Max review is based on Noise’s official product specifications and published spec listings, not on hands-on testing. We found no independent review with measured battery or accuracy results, so performance claims here are the manufacturer’s.
Quick verdict
- Best for: buyers who want a large, bright rectangular screen and Bluetooth calling on a tight budget
- Skip if: you run or cycle outdoors and want accurate route maps, because there is no built-in GPS
- Key strengths: 1.85-inch display, 550 nits claimed brightness, up to 10 days of typical use, IP68 rating, light 41.7 g body, 22 mm swappable strap
- Key limitations: LCD (not AMOLED) panel, modest 240 x 284 resolution, not suitable for swimming, iPhone support needs iOS 17 or later, one-year warranty only

Design and build: light, simple and easy to live with
Noise lists the Pulse 2 Max with a polycarbonate case measuring 45 x 37 x 11.5 mm and a weight of 41.7 g. A light plastic case is comfortable for wearing to bed for sleep tracking, and 11.5 mm should slide under most shirt cuffs. The trade-off is that polycarbonate does not feel as premium as metal, and Noise’s own FAQ states that the watch is not shockproof, so knocks against door frames or gym equipment are worth avoiding.
The strap is a 22 mm silicone band with a quick-release mechanism on the underside. Because 22 mm is a common width, replacement straps are easy to find if you want a less sporty look for the office. Spec aggregator 91mobiles describes the dial as a rectangular, flat design, similar in shape to many popular square-screen smartwatches.
Display: big and bright on paper, but still an LCD
The headline feature is the 1.85-inch (4.69 cm) TFT LCD screen with a 240 x 284 pixel resolution and a rated peak brightness of 550 nits. A large screen makes notifications, caller names and workout data easier to read at a glance, which is genuinely useful for older users or anyone who finds tiny watch text frustrating. The 550-nit rating targets outdoor readability, though no independent measurement was available.
Two caveats apply. This is an LCD, not AMOLED, so blacks are less deep and colours less vivid. And 240 x 284 is modest for 1.85 inches: 91mobiles puts it at about 202 ppi, so fine text may look slightly soft. That is fine for time, steps and messages, but screen enthusiasts should consider an AMOLED alternative below.
Noise says the watch supports more than 150 watch faces, including cloud-based faces you download through the NoiseFit app. That makes it easy to switch between a data-heavy face for workouts and a minimal face for everyday wear.
Bluetooth calling and smart features
The Pulse 2 Max uses Bluetooth 5.3 with Noise’s Tru Sync technology, which the company describes as single-chip Bluetooth calling. The spec listing on Digit notes a built-in microphone and speaker, and 91mobiles lists the ability to make and receive calls through the connected phone. Wrist calling is handy for short calls when your phone is in a bag or charging in another room. We found no published test of call quality, so treat it as a convenience rather than a replacement for earphones on long calls.
Noise’s spec sheet also lists caller name display, call rejection, Find My Phone, remote music control, remote camera control, a stopwatch, timer, alarm, wake gesture, vibration alerts and a low battery reminder. Software is updated over the air (OTA) through the app.
One feature named in the Amazon title is Smart DND. It matters because a watch that buzzes for every group chat at night is one you stop wearing to bed, which defeats sleep tracking. Noise lists both a standard DND mode and Smart DND, so you can quieten alerts when you need to.
Health and fitness tracking
According to Noise, the Pulse 2 Max has three sensors: an optical heart rate sensor, an SpO2 (blood oxygen) sensor and an accelerometer. Using these, it offers heart rate monitoring, SpO2 readings, a stress monitor, sleep tracking, female health (cycle) tracking and a guided Breathe feature. It also counts steps, calories burned and distance, and keeps an activity history in the NoiseFit app.
There are 100 sports modes. That mostly means workouts are labelled more precisely in your log, not that each mode has specialised metrics. Noise’s product page confirms there is no built-in GPS, so for outdoor runs and rides the watch cannot plot an accurate route on its own, and distance has to be estimated from movement data.
Keep expectations realistic: budget wrist sensors are meant for wellness trends, not medical diagnosis, so rely on proper medical devices for any health condition.
Battery life and charging
Noise rates the 300 mAh battery for up to 10 days of typical use and up to 30 days on standby, with a full charge taking up to 2 hours using the included charging cable. For most buyers that means roughly weekly charging, far less hassle than smartwatches that need a daily top-up.
The 10-day figure is Noise’s estimate for typical use. Heavy calling, frequent workouts, constant notifications and high brightness will all reduce it, and we found no independent battery test for this model.
Water resistance: fine for rain and handwashing, not for the pool
The watch carries an IP68 rating. Noise’s FAQ explains that it can handle water up to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes, but it clearly states that the watch is not meant for swimming, saunas, hot water or sea water. So it should survive sweaty workouts, rain and washing your hands, but you should take it off before a swim or a hot shower.
Who should buy it and who should skip it
Buy the Noise Pulse 2 Max if
- You want your first smartwatch and value a large, easy-to-read screen
- You want to take quick calls from your wrist
- You prefer weekly charging rather than daily charging
- You mainly track steps, sleep and indoor or gym workouts
- You like changing straps and watch faces to suit your style
Skip it if
- You need built-in GPS for running or cycling routes
- You want an AMOLED screen with deeper blacks and sharper text
- You plan to track swimming
- Your iPhone cannot be updated to iOS 17 or later
- You want a premium metal build or a longer warranty
Alternatives worth comparing
If the Pulse 2 Max does not quite match your needs, these models are worth a look. The facts below come from boAt’s official smartwatch listings, checked on 17 October 2026.
- boAt Wave Fury: a 1.83-inch HD display with Bluetooth calling, an IP67 rating and 50+ sports modes. Its IP67 rating is a step below the Pulse 2 Max’s IP68.
- boAt Storm Call 3: a 1.83-inch HD display with Bluetooth calling and 700+ active modes, for buyers who want a very long list of activity profiles.
- boAt Chrome Ivory: a 1.7-inch square AMOLED display with always-on support and up to 1,000 nits of brightness. It suits buyers who prioritise screen quality, but boAt rates its battery at up to 5 days, half the Pulse 2 Max’s claimed figure.

What to check before you order
- Colour and listing: the link in this article is for the Jet Black version. 91mobiles lists Rose Pink, Deep Wine, Jade Green, Jet Black and Midnight Blue as colours, but each may be a separate listing, so confirm the exact colour on the product page.
- Phone compatibility: Noise lists Android 9 and above, and iOS 17 and above. Check your phone’s software version first, especially on older iPhones.
- Box contents: Noise lists the watch, a charging cable, a user manual and a warranty card. There is no charging adapter, so use a standard USB charger you already own.
- Warranty and service: Noise offers a one-year manufacturing warranty from the date of delivery. Register the watch on Noise’s warranty page after purchase and keep your Amazon invoice.
- Calling expectations: Bluetooth calling routes calls through your phone, so the phone must stay within Bluetooth range (Noise mentions about 10 metres in open conditions).

Frequently asked questions
Does the Noise Pulse 2 Max support Bluetooth calling?
Yes. Noise lists Bluetooth calling with Tru Sync over Bluetooth 5.3, and spec listings note a built-in microphone and speaker. Calls are handled through your paired phone, so it needs to stay within Bluetooth range.
Is the Noise Pulse 2 Max waterproof?
It is water resistant, not waterproof. The IP68 rating covers water up to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes according to Noise, but the company says it should not be used for swimming, saunas, hot water or sea water.
Does the Noise Pulse 2 Max have GPS?
No. Noise’s product page confirms there is no built-in GPS, and connected GPS is not among its listed features. Without GPS, distance is estimated from movement data.
How long does the battery last?
Noise claims up to 10 days of typical use and up to 30 days on standby from the 300 mAh battery, with a full charge taking up to 2 hours. Heavy calling and workouts will shorten this.
Does it work with iPhone?
Yes, if your iPhone runs iOS 17 or later. On Android, it needs Android 9 or later. Both use the NoiseFit app.
Final thoughts
The Noise Pulse 2 Max keeps things simple: a big, bright LCD, Bluetooth calling, the usual health metrics, IP68 resistance and a claimed 10-day battery in a light 41.7 g body. It is a sensible first smartwatch or gift, as long as you accept the LCD screen and lack of GPS.
