Smart watches carry plenty of health benefits like being able to track your heartrate and workouts. They’re also super handy for keeping up to date with notifications without having to take your smartphone out of your pocket, but they can often run you back a hefty sum for the top models.
Take Apple Watches, for example, the Series 10 of which starts at £399, although a current Very sale has knocked that down to £299. Meanwhile, a Samsung Watch7 normally costs customers £319 when it’s not on sale for £244.
Thankfully, there are a range of budget options for customers to choose from, such as this one from Amazon that’s just seen a superb 43% discount from £39.99 down to £23.99. Sporting very similar features to the much more expensive models, it’s an ideal pick-up for someone looking to grab a smart watch on a budget [via Liverpool Echo].
This gadget offers various strap colours – including beige, black and navy. The device can sync with your smartphone to answer calls and texts, receive social media notifications and crucially, track your fitness.
The fitness watch employs high-performance optical sensors to monitor your health through heart rate, blood oxygen and more. It provides a wealth of data from your daily life that can assist you in making informed lifestyle changes if necessary.
Promising seamless communication on the move, this smartwatch keeps you in the loop with its VeryFit App, allowing you to make and receive calls straight from your wrist. It ensures you’re always up-to-date with notifications from apps like WhatsApp and SMS, so you never skip a beat on important messages, reports the Mirror.

You can tailor sound and vibration alerts to your liking, and there’s a Do Not Disturb mode for those moments when you need zero distractions—ideal for sleep tracking or intense workouts. In addition, Alexa is integrated, making it a hit among Android users.
This Amazon smartwatch is being hailed as an excellent budget-friendly alternative to more expensive counterparts like the Apple Watch, Samsung, or Fitbit. Satisfied customers have praised its performance, with one saying: “I have had other more expensive exercise and health watches and this watch performs better than any of them”.
A delighted 5-star reviewer shared: “Bought for my wife. She loves it. Works very well. No faults. Battery life around 6/7 days in reality. Worth every penny.”
This customer said: “This 1.83” smartwatch combines style and functionality with Alexa built-in, allowing voice commands for convenience. It supports answering and making calls, tracks heart rate, SpO2, sleep, and stress levels, and offers a step counter. With IP68 waterproofing and compatibility with Android and iOS, it’s a versatile choice for fitness and daily use!”.
Although, one shopper knocked off a couple of stars and said: “Looks lovely on but definitely doesn’t count all your steps.” This reviewer added: “Personally, my issue with this smartwatch is the VeryFitP app which I don’t find very well laid out and can be a bit confusing, which then transfers to being a little confused with all the functions on the watch itself.”
“I also find the silicone strap and the plastic bezel have both a cheap look and feel to it. For sure it is a more budget Smart Watch but there are others out there with better apps that don’t look as budget in style as this one.”, they continued.
However, the smartwatch has gained heaps of praise, with this review reading: “After years of steering clear of off brand smartwatches due to a few shockers I’ve had in the past, this one was a real breath of fresh air. It links no problem via an app and does everything I’d expect a regular smartwatch to do, even some things that my previous apple watch didn’t do! Compatibility is great with my current phone (Sony Xperia VI 1) and overall this exceeded all of my expectations.”
