The smartwatch market is flooded with options featuring AMOLED displays, Bluetooth calling, and health tracking, making it challenging for buyers to choose. GoBoult, formerly Boult, aims to simplify this with the Mustang Stallion, a smartwatch licensed from the iconic Ford Mustang brand. Priced at Rs 4,999, it targets those who want bold design alongside essential features. After weeks of daily use, here is the detailed review.
Key Features and Specifications
- Official Mustang x GoBoult Collaboration
- Ignition Lever, Functional Rotating Bezel
- 1.43-inch AMOLED Screen with Always On Display and 700 nits brightness
- Health monitoring, 200+ Watch Faces, Custom Watch Face
- Up to 7 days run time, 300 mAh Battery Capacity
Design and Display
The Mustang Stallion is anything but subtle. It features a large dial, chunky metallic case, pronounced buttons, and a physical rotating bezel with speedometer-inspired markings. The Mustang logo is stamped on the strap. Available in Turbo Orange and Nitro Black with yellow accents, the metallic case feels solid and looks best on stocky wrists. It is comfortable for all-day wear but too bulky for sleeping due to raised buttons that can cause irritation and unintended presses. The rotating bezel is tactile and cycles through watch faces instantly. The strap is strong and secures firmly. IP67 dust and water resistance means it handles rain and dust easily. Overall, the design appeals to Mustang fans who enjoy bold, automotive-inspired style.
The 1.43-inch AMOLED touchscreen is excellent for the price, with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and crisp text. The 700-nit peak brightness ensures legibility under direct sunlight, a test many budget displays fail. The Always-On Display works well, and pre-loaded watch faces are Mustang-themed, though custom faces are also supported.
Interface and Navigation
Software navigation is intuitive. Swiping down opens quick settings; swiping up shows notifications; swiping left reveals widgets for activity rings, sleep data, heart rate, blood oxygen, and weather. Animations are smooth, and touch responsiveness is reliable. The three physical buttons have clear functions: top for screen on/off and back, middle for app menu or voice assistant, bottom for workout menu. The engine sound on power on/off adds a Mustang touch. Pairing with the GoBoult Fit app via Bluetooth 5.3 is straightforward. Call quality is good indoors, and notifications arrive reliably, though emojis and complex scripts may have hiccups. The app provides a clean interface for activity history, watch face customization, and settings.
Health Tracking
GoBoult offers continuous heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure, stress tracking, sleep monitoring, and over 120 sport modes. In testing basic activities like jogging and walking, results were reliably accurate. Blood pressure and stress readings are indicators, not clinical measurements.
Battery
The 300mAh battery is rated for 7 days, but with AOD, health tracking, notifications, and occasional calls, it lasted about 5 days. Charging via magnetic pogo-pin is convenient.
Verdict
The GoBoult Mustang Stallion is a capable smartwatch at Rs 4,999. It stands out with its Mustang-inspired bold design, excellent display, reliable health tracking, strong battery life, and intuitive navigation. Bluetooth calling works well, the app is functional, and voice assistant integration is a bonus. However, the loud design and color combinations will not appeal to everyone; it targets a specific niche. For those who appreciate the muscle car aesthetic, the Stallion offers a package that exceeds its price tag.
