Noise is an extremely popular smartwatch manufacturer, but only in India, where the company appears to have been very successful in selling numerous kinds of smartwatches.
With the Voyage, Noise has now introduced a new smartwatch that also allows for connections to a mobile network and is thus significantly less dependent on a paired smartphone. This means that phone calls can be made without a paired smartphone, although the number of contacts that can be stored is limited to 200. Headphones can be connected via Bluetooth and media playback on the headphones is also said to be supported. Connections to the mobile network take place via eSIM and not via SIM; Indian mobile network providers Airtel and Jio are supported.
No exact specifications are currently available, but Noise has indicated the possibility of navigation on the smartwatch. Weather updates and quick answers are also said to be supported, as well as a calculator. Furthermore, Noise states that sporting activities can be recorded, with over 100 sports profiles and automatic sport recognition. Heart rate, stress levels and oxygen saturation can also be recorded and sleep quality/duration monitored.
A battery life of up to 30 days is advertised, although this can only be achieved in a special energy-saving mode. This presumably only offers essential basic functions – a dedicated, second SoC may be available for this.
The Noise Voyage will be available from December 23 and can be reserved for a small deposit. Whether the model will also be launched in the US or Europe is uncertain.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
