The charging case features a pebble-shaped design, and the top of the lid has a pattern that keeps it from slipping out of the hands. Nice! The company has paid attention to this textured finish because during workouts you get sweaty hands and the device with a glossy finish is prone to slip easily. When the lid is opened, an LED light starts to glow. UV technology is included in the LG Tone Free Fit for it to stay germ-free.
Given that they are designed for athletics, you can also use them on a treadmill and the wire-free fit gives you a lot more freedom of movement. Because they lack any external hooks or means to wrap around the ear, these sporty earphones are also not overly large or bulky. These fit really nicely and let you concentrate on your activity. The hook inserts into your outer ear for a snug fit that is pressure-free and comfortable. Simply attach the wireless earphones into your outer ear using a gentle swivel. This easy move secures the earbuds so they remain in place during your whole workout, from warmup to cooldown.
You won’t have to worry if you do happen to get a little sweaty while working out because the earbuds are IP67 dust and waterproof.
The UV nanotech in the casing works hand in hand with the medical-grade quality of the earbud gels. This means that after just a 10-minute charge, the UV nano will disinfect your earbuds by penetrating both the inner ear mesh and the ear gels to remove bacteria by up to 99.9 percent.

Well, these TWS earphones have excellent Active Noise Cancellation as well. With the help of the ANC, the audio device was able to cancel out background noise, and the overall deep fit of the earbuds contributed to higher audio quality. Moreover, each earbud has Headphone Spatial Processing (HSP) built in, which gives you the impression of clear spatial sound.
The LG earphones offer touch capabilities, and we have never encountered such excellent touch sensitivity on any other TWS we have tested up to this point. A beep or tone that indicates your command has been heard when you touch or press them, and it is extremely rapid and responsive. You can select how to listen and change the Noise Cancelling options, too. By allowing more of the ambient noise to reach your ears, Listening Mode helps you be aware of your surroundings and hear passing vehicles or other pedestrians. Whereas, the Conversation Mode on the device amplifies other persons’ sound so you may easily converse with a companion while riding a bike or running without taking out your earphones.

Finally, you can connect them to the LG Tone Free App to adjust the EQ, ANC, earbud settings, and listening modes.
They are simple to connect to a PC or an Android smartphone. The Google Fast Pair pop-up will display right away to provide you with clear instructions. The best thing is that these have multi-point capability that lets you connect wirelessly with up to 5 devices using the LG TONE Free app.
The LG Tone Free Fit (DTF7Q) offers 10 hours of playback on a single charge (20 additional hours with the case), giving you a total of 30 hours of battery life. You can also play them for an hour with just a simple 5-minute charge.

Encasing this display is a zinc alloy shell that houses a crown and an action button on the right side. Right in the middle of the two control buttons lies the solitary microphone. The left side of the frame is completely buttonless. This zinc alloy shell feels quite sturdy and capable of taking a knock. For something that’s made out of a metal alloy, it is quite lightweight. The shell’s texture is not glossy at all, which we really like. The rotating crown reminds us of the Apple Watch Ultra. The feedback that it delivers is very satisfying and makes it very hard to not fidget with it.
Another highlight of the smartwatch is its watch band options. While we don’t mind silicone straps on most smartwatches, they can cause sweatiness and skin irritation after a certain point. This is why Boult’s choice of going with the nylon strap earns them extra points from us. Even during sweaty workouts, this strap functions like a charm and does not cause any irritation or unnecessary strain. Boult also has a metallic strap option for more casual users.
On the other side of the dial, you will find the health monitors right at the centre and two slots for the magnetic charging pin charger. There’s a small speaker on the right side of the base for audio calls and listening to music. The smartwatch is rated IP67 and is water resistant up to 1m for 30 minutes. This means that sweaty workouts and light rainfall will not damage the smartwatch in any capacity but it is certainly not meant for swimming.
The step counter on this smartwatch works phenomenally as well. The Crown R Pro did a good job of counting the steps and calculating the total distance travelled. While tracking hikes and runs, the smartwatch also calculates your heart rate, calories burnt, and steps walked per minute. We don’t trust the calorie count of any smartwatch, but the heart rate and step counter on this smartwatch were consistent with other premium smartwatches (we used the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for comparison).
The Boult Crown R Pro can track more than 120 exercises, workouts, sports, and other routines. However, you can’t access all of these sport modes at once on the smartwatch. You need to use the BoultTrack app to load your desired exercise on the watch. At a given time, the smartwatch only holds just over 20 workout and sport routines on the device.
The BoultTrack app could use some work, but it gets the basics right. Since the Crown R Pro does not have an in-built GPS, this app can be used to chart your hikes, walks, and runs on the map. The homepage displays your daily goal progress along with the sleep breakdown, last recorded heart rate, and the last recorded SpO2 reading. If you need to change your smartwatch’s dial face, you can explore your options in the app’s Dial Library. We found most of the watch faces to be quite tacky and over the top, but there were a few that we really enjoyed.
Apart from being a health and fitness tracker, the Boult Crown R Pro is also a Bluetooth-calling smartwatch. When it is connected to your phone, the watch can be used to make and receive audio calls with ease. The sound and microphone quality is beyond satisfactory. In an indoor setting, you don’t need to put the watch close to your mouth to be audible on the other end. The speaker on the right side of the watch does a good job of relaying the speaker’s audio, but a little boost to the low end would have been nicer. This speaker can also be used to play music on your watch, but the sound quality on all smartwatches in general isn’t comprehensive enough to enjoy listening to music.
The Boult Crown R Pro’s OS is a bit of a mixbag. While it is colourful and very easy to navigate, it could use a little tuning. The biggest gripe we have is with the functionality of the rotating crown. While we like that it can quickly toggle between the watch faces without needing to browse to a specific panel, its controlling chops in other places are very limited. For example, rotating the crown while you’re on the music panel does nothing. We expected it to alter the volume but it isn’t programmed to do that. You can use the crown to switch among different watch functions, but pressing the crown button takes you back to the home page. If you want to select a particular function, you need to tap on its icon on the display.
Apart from the inconsistencies with the crown button, there were a few other random things that caught our attention. The Boult Crown R Pro surprisingly lacks adaptive brightness for the display. Once you set the brightness to a particular intensity, it cannot adapt according to the surrounding light. The battery indicator only displays the charge in multiples of ten. Hopefully, Boult can fix these issues with an update. Other than these minor kinks, the OS does a good job of getting the most out of the hardware at hand.
Talking about the battery life, the Boult Crown R Pro can last up to 5 days on a single charge if you are a conservative user. We kept the Always on Display turned on at all times and tracked our workouts on a regular basis, which gave us a battery coverage of 3 days. Boult claims the Crown R Pro can be fully charged in 90 minutes, which we found to be consistent while testing the watch in the review period.

Your Apple Watch may pause charging if its internal temperature rises beyond a certain threshold. This is done to prevent the internal components of the smartwatch from permanent damage. While charging your watch will very rarely present this circumstance, it is not totally unavoidable, especially in situations when the surrounding temperature is very high. Disconnect the watch from the charger and let it cool down before plugging it in again.
Apple Watch’s magnetic charger easily snaps onto the base of the smartwatch, facilitating a smooth charging process. However, it can get easily disconnected with an accidental shove. If your Apple Watch suddenly stops charging, make sure the charger is connected correctly. To make sure that you’ve got all your bases covered, wipe the charging dock and the base of the watch with a clean cloth before connecting them.
If your Apple Watch isn’t charging at a rapid pace, it could be due to physical damage to the charger. Check the charging puck and the wire connected to it for any damage. If the wire has frayed ends, the charging speed will fall drastically. Replace the damaged part with Apple-authorised accessories to restore the charging speed and make your smartwatch charge past 80%.
Sometimes an internal glitch or background software issue can keep the Apple Watch from charging properly. Performing a simple restart can fix the background issues with ease. Long press the side button on your Apple Watch to access the power menu, hit the power icon at the top right corner of the screen, and swipe the power slider to the right to switch off the watch. Press and hold the side button again to restart it.
Step 1: Go to Settings on your Apple Watch and select General.
Step 2: Tap on Software Update.
Step 3: Select Download and Install.
If the methods mentioned above don’t work out for you, take your Apple Watch to an authorised service centre. It is possible that the issue is hardware-related. You can book an appointment at the Genius Bar or simply walk in when it isn’t crowded. If your Watch is covered under AppleCare, the technicians will fix it without any extra charge. However, you will need to pay an additional price if there’s hardware damage caused by physical impact and your device isn’t covered by AppleCare+.
