In summary

Sleep mode on a smartwatch dims the display and silences notifications so you can sleep without interruptions — while still allowing alarms to function. You can activate it in 3 simple steps from the Settings menu. Here is what this guide covers:

  • Sleep mode dims the display and reduces interactions during rest
  • DND mode silences calls and messages but keeps the screen at normal brightness
  • Sleep mode still allows alarms, background syncing, and priority notifications
  • You can schedule sleep mode to activate automatically at a set time each night
  • Smartwatches with sleep tracking start from around Rs. 1,499
     

If you are ready to upgrade to a smartwatch with better sleep tracking features, convert the cost of your new smartwatch into Easy EMIs using Bajaj Finance's financing options at over 1.5 lakh partner stores such as Reliance Digital, Croma, Vijay Sales, and more. Check your loan eligibility before getting started.

Overview of sleep mode on your smartwatch

Most modern smartwatches come with two key focus and rest modes: Do Not Disturb (DND) and Sleep Mode. Both help reduce distractions, but they work differently. DND silences calls, messages, and notifications without switching off connectivity or background syncing. Sleep Mode goes further — it dims the display, reduces screen interactions, and blocks notifications entirely so you are not disturbed during rest.

Understanding the difference and knowing how to activate each mode helps you get more from your smartwatch every night. Unlike Airplane Mode, which cuts all connectivity, both DND and Sleep Mode let essential functions like alarms continue to work.
 

You can explore a wide range of smartwatches on Bajaj Mall, including models with advanced sleep tracking and automatic sleep mode scheduling.

What is the difference between DND and sleep mode?

It is easy to confuse DND and Sleep Mode since both reduce interruptions. The table below explains exactly how they differ so you can choose the right setting for each situation.

Use DND when you need focus during work or a meeting but still want your watch face visible. Use Sleep Mode at night when you want the display dimmed and all unnecessary interactions blocked.

How do you activate sleep mode on your smartwatch?

Activating sleep mode is straightforward on most smartwatches. The steps below apply to the majority of popular models available in India, including Amazfit, Noise, boAt, and Samsung smartwatches. The exact wording may vary slightly depending on your model and firmware version.

Follow these 3 steps:

  1. Access the settings menu: Swipe down on the home screen and tap the Settings icon (usually a gear symbol).
  2. Find the sleep mode option: Look for "Sleep Mode" or "Bedtime Mode" under the Display or Sound settings section.
  3. Enable sleep mode: Toggle the switch to activate it. The display will dim and notifications will be silenced immediately.

If you want sleep mode to activate automatically every night at a fixed time, look for a "Schedule" option within the same Sleep Mode menu. Set a start time and end time, and your watch will enter and exit sleep mode on its own without any manual input.

How do you get the most out of sleep mode?

Simply activating sleep mode is a good start, but a few additional settings can help you get better rest and more useful data from your smartwatch. Here is what to consider alongside sleep mode.
 

TipWhy it helps
Use a sleep tracking appProvides insights into sleep stages, duration, and quality each morning
Enable silent alarmsGentle vibration-only alarms wake you without disturbing others
Adjust screen brightnessLower brightness reduces eye strain if you check the watch during the night
Sync with your phone's sleep scheduleMany smartwatches can follow your phone's bedtime settings automatically
Check battery before bedEnsure sufficient charge to track sleep throughout the night without the watch dying mid-rest

Most smartwatches with a 230–300 mAh battery last through a full night of sleep tracking comfortably. If your watch consistently runs low overnight, consider charging it for 20–30 minutes before bed rather than wearing it on the charger all night.

What are my financing options to buy a smartwatch?

Bajaj Finance offers two ways to convert your smartwatch purchase into affordable monthly payments. Both options are available at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities in India.
 

OptionLimitKey features
Bajaj Finance Insta EMI CardPre-approved card loan offer up to Rs. 3 lakhZero annual fee; 3 to 60 months tenure; works at 1.5 lakh partner stores; 1 million eligible products
Bajaj Finance Easy EMI LoanLoan limit up to Rs. 5 lakhQuick loan approval; 3 to 60 months tenure; basic KYC documents needed; ideal for higher-value purchases

How to choose?

Both options require you to be physically present at a partner store. The Insta EMI Card is ideal for shoppers who want to purchase across multiple categories over time. The Easy EMI Loan suits buyers looking to finance a higher-value smartwatch purchase in a single transaction.
 

Why Bajaj Finance works well for this purchase

With over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities, Bajaj Finance's network means you can buy a smartwatch with advanced sleep mode features whether you are in a metro like Mumbai or a Tier 2 city like Lucknow or Coimbatore. The Bajaj Finserv Insta EMI Card carries zero annual fee, and both options offer repayment tenures across 3 to 60 months, giving you genuine flexibility to match the EMI to your monthly budget.

A longer tenure lowers your monthly EMI but increases the total amount paid over the repayment period. A shorter tenure costs more each month but reduces your overall financing outgo. Factor this in when choosing a tenure.

How do I buy a smartwatch on EMI at a Bajaj Finance partner store?

Upgrading to a new smartwatch with sleep mode and sleep tracking features using Bajaj Finance's in-store financing is simple and usually takes just 10–15 minutes. Follow these steps:

  1. Browse models on Bajaj Mall: Explore the range of smartwatches available on Bajaj Mall. Compare battery life, sleep tracking accuracy, sleep mode scheduling features, display type, and prices before heading to a partner store.
  2. Find a partner store near you: Use the Bajaj Finance store locator to find a nearby Bajaj Finance partner store such as Croma, Vijay Sales, or other authorised retailers.
  3. Check the smartwatch in person: Visit the partner store and explore available models. Check the display size and brightness, battery capacity, sleep tracking features, DND and sleep mode scheduling options, and strap comfort.
  4. Choose a suitable EMI option: At checkout, ask the partner store executive about the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan. Confirm available tenure options and whether your chosen model comes with a zero down payment offer.
  5. Complete payment and take your smartwatch home: Once approved, your purchase is processed immediately and you can take the watch home the same day.

 
You can also check your loan eligibility online in advance by entering your mobile number and OTP, helping you plan your purchase better.
