Amazon reduces price of ‘stylish' and ‘powerful' £100 smartwatch to £23
Great news for tech fans: Amazon has slashed the price of an 'impressive' smartwatch that customers describe as 'stylish and functional.' While the online giant's recent Prime Day sale may officially be over, it has left a treasure trove of bargains still available.
The Soudorv smartwatch has plummeted from its original £99.99 price tag to £23.74. This timepiece boasts an extensive array of capabilities, including 3D full touch technology, step counting, stroke monitoring, sleep tracking, alarm functionality, sedentary reminders, remote photography control, and music management.
Wearers can also conduct and receive phone calls, record conversations, and monitor weather conditions, reports the Daily Record. The device doubles as a fitness companion, offering over 100 exercise modes, magnetic charging, app notification alerts, and extended battery performance.
For shoppers happy to avoid the big names of smart watches like Apple and Samsung, there are plenty of good deals available currently. Shoppers can snap up the Reflex Active Series 12 Smartwatch for £29.95 from Currys. Otherwise, H. Samuel has the Sekonda Flex Rose Gold Tone Bracelet Smartwatch for £65, while Argos has the Fitbit Charge 6 Fitness Tracker for £99.
Meanwhile, the Amazon timepiece has garnered glowing feedback from users, earning a stellar 4.9-star rating. One satisfied customer commented: "Stylish and functional. Impressive smartwatch with great features at a great price."
A second reviewer said: "This is a great watch for daily use. It is light, comfortable, and looks nice on the wrist. The screen is clear, and the touch response is smooth and effective. I use it to track my steps, monitor my heart rate, and assess my sleep quality. It's also waterproof, so I don't have to take it off when washing my hands.
"The battery lasts a few days, which is very good. It connects easily to my phone, and I can see messages and calls right on the watch. It's good for men and women. It's simple, smart and very useful for the price."
Another customer said: " Sleek and powerful. This smartwatch combines sleek design with powerful features like fitness tracking, notifications, and heart rate monitoring. The touchscreen is responsive, and the battery lasts well for daily use. It's a great companion for staying organised and active on the go."
However, not all customers were completely satisfied. One unimpressed buyer said: "The strap broke after three weeks, so it's now unusable. Can't send it back as it's a week after the return date."
Another customer, while generally happy, did encounter a hiccup: "Only minor issue was syncing it with the app at first, but it's been smooth since."
Despite these issues, many continued to sing the praises of the watch. A satisfied shopper commented: "This ladies' smartwatch fitness tracker is easy to use and looks beautiful. It helps track your steps, heart rate, sleep, and more to keep you healthy.
"The design is simple and stylish, perfect for everyday wear. The battery lasts a long time, and the app is easy to understand. Overall, it's a great choice for women who want to stay fit and look good too."
Another satisfied customer said: "Very nice watch. I am amazed by this watch. It's packed with amazing features, and the build quality is exceptional. I am really happy with it. The readings are pretty accurate, and the battery life is so good."

Amazon's £160 smartwatch with 'refined style' dropped to £36
Shoppers were full of love for this affordable timepiece that does so much for a discount smartwatch Amazon shoppers have been praising a smartwatch that was discounted by more than £120 during a sale. People loved the fact that its "sporty and rugged design" made it "perfect for daily use or workouts" Normally £159.99, the Military Smart Watch by Atheewon is discounted by a massive 80%, cutting the final price down to just under £35.99. Built with a "rugged" look, this military-style smartwatch is "built to endure the toughest environments", Amazon claims. It boasts being "shockproof, drop-resistant and scratch-resistant" with a remarkable level of protection against "daily wear and extreme conditions". The online listing suggests that the device can stayed powered up for days after just two hours of charging. The device offers all you'd expect from a smartwatch for a fraction of the price of leading models like Apple and FitBit, like call, text and social media notifications. The watch comes in two colour choices - midnight retro blue (which is discounted) or casual black (which is full priced). For the fitness fanatics, the waterproof watch offers a range of features to make training and tracking progress effortless. With more than 110 programmed sport modes, it "analyses data in real time to help optimise training results and achieve exercise goals easily", Amazon adds. There are similar devices on the market for people wanting an affordable way into the smartwatch world without spending hundreds of pounds. For example, Sports Direct is offering this Karrimor Smart Watch (£19.99, down from £49.99) and the Reflex Active Series 23 Smart Watch from Currys (£39.99). But, Amazon shoppers have been praising this "sporty" watch. One said: "It brilliantly combines robust design, technical performance and sporty versatility. "Whether you are sporty, adventurous or simply a fan of smart gadgets, this smartwatch will accompany you everywhere, while enhancing your wrist." Another added: "I liked this smartwatch as soon as I unboxed it. "It has a sporty, rugged design, perfect for daily use or workouts. The strap is comfortable and adjustable, and the round screen is clear, even outdoors." A third posted: "This is my first smartwatch I never thought I needed one, but it has been a total game changer for exercise I've used it for more than 3 days without a single charge, and it's still running perfectly. The battery life is amazing!" And, someone else wrote: "The watch is really smart and has tons of workout variations, so you can choose exactly what you want to focus on. It keeps me motivated and active. Totally worth it!" But, not everyone was impressed. A shopper who left a one star review claimed: "I spent hours trying to get this paired and synced to no avail. "Ended up giving up out of frustration. If it's this hard to pair the watch and get it to work properly then forget it. "I don't need that kind of frustration. I'm returning the watch for that reason." Someone else penned: "Nice watch but step counter doesn't properly for me. Some days doesn't register at all and I know I've walked 3 or 4 miles." A separate individual suggested: "The two 'buttons' on the left are not even buttons. They are just part of the plastic casing. "I can't imagine an £150 watch having fake buttons?"

Tide turns against return-to-office refuseniks
For the first time since the pandemic more than half of Fortune 100 companies now demand staff be present in the office five days a week. It is a decisive repositioning with only 5 percent of the same companies demanding a total return to the office just two years ago in 2023. Now 54 percent of companies that make up the Fortune 100 - the biggest companies in America - are fully in-office and 41 percent are flexible. Larger companies are leading the charge, with smaller operations still favoring flexible work, new data has revealed. Starbucks has been among the recent household names that have demanded its corporate workers return to its Seattle headquarters for at least four days a week. Google and Amazon have also pushed their employees to come back to in-person work, citing alleged productivity benefits. Corporate real estate remains a tale of two markets with high end rents in Miami, New York City and San Francisco at record highs, according to the report. However, office vacancies across the country continue to persist at more than 22 percent. The amount of office space available has fallen by 700,000 square feet in the last quarter alone, the report from commercial real estate and investment management company Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) revealed. The dramatic drop indicates the effect of demolitions and the growing number of office buildings that have been converted into apartment blocks. The largest companies can afford to pay for slick buildings with luxury amenities to lure their workers back. Smaller companies, on the other hand, are less inclined to pay rents for an older building their staff are reluctant to visit. Other than the biggest companies in the country, most firms are actually maintaining their flexible working policies. Some 51 percent of employees with remote-capable jobs were working hybrid in 2025, down slightly from 52 percent in 2023, according to recent data from Gallup Poll. The story looks similar for those working completely remotely, with 28 percent working exclusively at home now compared to 29 percent in 2023. Experts argue that the biggest companies in America are pushing for workers to return to the office even if they lose talent because they can afford to do so. 'Amazon can lose 1,000 talented IT workers with no problem,' Mark Ma, associate professor of business administration at the University of Pittsburgh, told Fortune. 'There is still a lineup of young college graduates from maybe Carnegie Mellon or other excellent universities who still want to work for Amazon because that's the Magnificent Seven,' he explained. 'But the smaller firms, it is harder for them to do it because once they lose some important employees, maybe no one else in their firm can do the job.' It comes as separate data from JLL revealed that Gen Z, who have been characterized by many as work shy, are actually the most eager to get back into the office. Those born between 1997 and 2012 attend the office 3.1 days a week, compared to older age groups who show up between 2.5 and 2.7 days a week, a survey from the company found.

Amazon to buy startup focused on AI wearables
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22 (Reuters) - Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab has reached a deal to buy San Francisco-based Bee, a startup making an artificial intelligence-enabled bracelet to listen in on and transcribe conversations. Bee's $50 wristband can analyze and distill what it records to make summaries, to-do lists or other tasks. Amazon confirmed the deal on Tuesday following a post on LinkedIn by Bee CEO and co-founder Maria de Lourdes Zollo. The deal has not yet closed and Amazon declined to provide terms. A spokesperson said Amazon will work with Bee to give users more control over the devices, which are set to automatically transcribe audio but can be muted. "We imagined a world where AI is truly personal, where your life is understood and enhanced by technology that learns with you,' said Zollo in her post. She did not immediately respond to a query on Tuesday. It was not Amazon's first foray into wearables. The Seattle online retailer marketed a line of wrist health trackers called Halo but ultimately killed the project in 2023. It also has a line of smart glasses embedded with Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa, under its Echo brand. ChatGPT parent OpenAI bought former Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab designer Jony Ive's AI device startup called io for about $6.5 billion. Other startups have made early attempts at AI wearables, with mixed results. In her post, Zollo thanked Amazon devices executive Panos Panay, suggesting Bee would join his group when the deal closes. Much of Amazon's AI development is being conducted in its Amazon Web Services unit. Bee was founded in 2022.
