Written by Rahul Makwana

The Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha is priced at Rs 4,499 in India and its available in Jet Black, Deep Wine, Rose Pink, Vintage Brown, and Silver Grey color options.

Display

The Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha comes with a 1.78-inches 60Hz AMOLED display with a resolution of 368 x 448 pixels and 500 pick brightness.

Also, the 500 nits brightness is good enough for all kinds of usage, you will able to read the text or use the watch navigation even under the sunlight without any problem.

The touch response is also good, here, Noise has used good quality AMOLED panel rather than using cheap ones like the way they’re using on Rs 3000 smartwatches.

It also have the always on display option too which you can enable or disable from the watch itself.

The Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha has a square design which looks great as always.

Design, Comfort, and Build

The watch has 45 grams of weight with the strap which is surprising but Noise managed to keep the weight on the lower sides even after using the aluminum frames.

By the way, as you can see the smartwatch has a physical crown on the right side, which works. You can use the same to navigate through the watch UI.

The watch has 22mm strep, so if you don’t like the default strap then you can buy any other third-party 22mm strep from Amazon and it will fit perfectly on Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha.

Health and Fitness Tracking

I have tested quite of few Noise smartwatches and every single of them has a sleep-tracking issue. Let me give you an example,

Earlier today, I was watching a “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” movie on Netflix at around 8:00 PM. I was also wearing the Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha and guess what,

The watch counted the 1.30 hours into the nap sleep cycle, now which was surprising because this kind of issue mainly occurs on a budget smartwatch but as this is almost a 5k smartwatch, so this shouldn’t have happened.

Now, this feels like a software issue and I feel it can be easily fixed with software, let’s see when Noise will fix this sleep issue.

By the way, the watch does measure the SpO2 or even Heart Rate accurately.

By the way, 10 sport modes are available on the smartwatch itself while the remaining 90 are available in the NoiseFit app.

The problem is, the watch doesn't have the built-in GPS.

First, let me give you perspective,

Every morning, I do go on outdoor runs and because of that, built-in GPS is a must-have feature. So if I’m buying a smartwatch, the watch should have built-in GPS otherwise, the watch won’t be useful for my kind of usage.

I don’t like to talk to someone on a call using a smartwatch, so Bluetooth calling is not useful for me

so I would rather buy a smartwatch that focuses more on the fitness side of things, and in that case, Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha is not made my kind of usage.

Calling

Noise has using the single-chip for Bluetooth calling which means, the calling will be stable and it won’t drop connection while you’re talking with someone

The watch also has Bluetooth 5.3 which again will ensure a stable connection between the watch and smartphone.

Noise has used a good-quality microphone and speaker, so you won’t face any kind of problem while talking to someone but

Noise has used a good-quality microphone and speaker, so you won’t face any kind of problem while talking to someone but 

if you’re in heavily crowded places where there is too much noise then another person on call might have a hard time hearing your voice because the watch only has a single mic.

By the way, the Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha doesn’t support WhatsApp calling, it only displays WhatsApp messages.

Overall, the microphone and even speaker quality are solid compared to other Noise Smartwatches.

Software

You will have to download the NoiseFit App on your smartphone otherwise, you won’t be able to take full advantage of Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha

Personally, I don’t like the way, NoiseFit App looks, it feels like I’m using a Rs 1000 Smartwatch application.

The app has improved since I tested the Noise ColorFit Caliber Go but the design remains the same.

One More thing, for some reason, Noise pushing ads in the NoiseFit App, they’re marketing other noise smartwatches within the app.

Battery

The Noise Colorfit Pro 4 Alpha has a 270mAh battery and it will take about 2 hours to charge from 0% to 100%.

With normal usage, the watch will last for 5 to 7 days, the normal usage would be, no Bluetooth calling, no 24/7 heart rate monitoring, or No always-on display enabled.

With heavy usage, the watch will last for 1 to 2 days, the heavy usage would be, using Bluetooth calling, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, or even using always on display 27/7.

Verdict

Amazfit Pop 2 is first Bluetooth Calling Smartwatch and then Fitness tracking smartwatch, so choose wisely.
