boAt has expanded its smartwatch portfolio with the launch of the Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2, introducing what the company claims is India’s first smartwatch lineup featuring direct USB Type-C charging support.
The new wearables aim to solve one of the most common smartwatch inconveniences—carrying a separate proprietary charging dock. With built-in Type-C charging, users can power the watches using the same cable commonly used for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and power banks.
According to boAt, the move aligns with the growing adoption of USB Type-C as a universal charging standard across consumer electronics. The company believes a shared charging ecosystem can help reduce cable clutter while making everyday charging more convenient for users.
