boAt Enigma X500 and X600: The Circular Display Champions
The boAt Enigma X500 stands out with its unique ‘Compass’ bezel design, giving it a rugged yet sophisticated look.

Meanwhile, the Enigma X600 takes things a step further with the same 1.43-inch round AMOLED screen but adds an Always-on Display (AoD) functionality. This means you can glance at the time without waking the watch, a premium feature rarely seen at this price range. The X600’s resolution of 466×466 pixels also promises crisp text and vivid colors.
boAt Enigma Z30: The Bluetooth Calling Powerhouse
For those who value connectivity, the boAt Enigma Z30 is the model to watch.
