Smartwatches have become a popular choice for those keen to monitor health data, fitness, sleep and more – but high-end models from renowned tech brands, such as Apple and Samsung, can carry hefty price tags that aren’t budget-friendly.

With Apple’s Series 10 model retailing at £399, although it is currently on offer at Very for £100 less, or a Samsung Watch7 costing £319 (now £214 at Currys), purchasing a smartwatch might seem like a costly venture. However, that’s not the case with this Amazon option, which is currently on offer for 40% less, slashing its price tag all the way down to a more wallet-friendly £23.99.

This gadget offers various coloured strap options – including beige, black and navy. The device can sync with your smartphone to answer calls and texts, receive social media notifications and, crucially, track the wearer’s fitness.

The fitness watch employs high-performance optical sensors to monitor health through heart rate, blood oxygen and more. It provides a wealth of data from the wearer’s daily life that can assist in making informed lifestyle changes if necessary.

Promising seamless communication on the move, this smartwatch pairs flawlessly with its VeryFit App, allowing shoppers to chat and make direct calls from their wrist. It also delivers notifications from apps such as WhatsApp and SMS, ensuring the wearer is always in the loop, while sound and vibration settings can be tailored for comfort, reports the Mirror.

The Do Not Disturb function helps the user maintain their concentration, ideal for monitoring sleep or during workouts. Additionally, it comes with built-in Alexa, securing its spot as a favourite among Android users.

This Amazon find could well be an affordable substitute for high-end options like the Apple Watch, Samsung, or Fitbit models. Satisfied buyers have praised its capabilities, with one customer saying: “I have had other more expensive exercise and health watches and this watch performs better than any of them”, all while saving customrs a hefty sum.

This device has won accolades from various purchasers. One delighted 5-star reviewer shares: “Bought for my wife. She loves it. Works very well. No faults. Battery life around 6/7 days in reality. Worth every penny.”

Another satisfied customer shared: “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!”.

However, someone else wasn’t completely impressed. Their three-star review reads: “Nice smart looking watch, comfortable to wear, battery life very good. Only disappointment is it doesn’t count steps and activities very well. Which I monitor daily so not ideal for me.”

Yet, another person wrote: “Didn’t get a look in really, the wife decided she liked the shiny and claimed it as her own. The fact she has worn in none stop ever since speaks volumes. It has all you want on board in terms of fitness tracking, health and sleep stats, it does Alexa if you want, remote from phone calling, messages, etc – in short everything you want from a watch costing three or more times the price.”
