Bonus: Most Useful Under 2000

My top recommendation: If you have 20k to spend, buy Amazfit Balance (₹17k) + Mi Band 9 Pro (₹5k) = ₹22k (slightly over). Or Amazfit Balance only. Best all rounder. Covers health, notifications, battery life. Second choice: Realme Pad 2 if you watch lots of videos. Third: Sony earbuds if you commute daily. Choose what fits your life. All are useful. No regrets.
