Tech Burner

Indian tech creator Tech Burner has launched the Anarc 2, the follow-up to his Anarc smartwatch, which drew criticism from buyers after its release. Commentators are questioning whether the second version fixes the problems that made the original controversial, with early reactions online ranging from skepticism to curiosity about the improvements.

Indian tech YouTuber Tech Burner is back with a ₹7,000 device, reportedly the Anarc 2, two years after his first smartwatch, the Anarc 1, underperformed. The story gaining attention is not the price, which many expected, but what the brand reportedly did quietly during those two years to fix its first product's shortcomings before relaunching at the same price point.

A creator is publicly challenging Tech Burner's account of the Layers Anarc 2, the smartwatch from the popular Indian tech YouTuber's brand Layers, saying the real story needs to be told again. The callout is drawing large attention from Indian tech audiences. Details of the disagreement beyond the accusation remain unclear.
