Monitoring daily step counts, fitness targets, or the crucial sleep score, smartwatches offer myriad benefits beyond just syncing with a mobile. This is why brands such as Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, and Garmin have soared in popularity, though their hefty price tags can be daunting.
For example, the latest Apple Watch, Series 10, debuted at £399, but a recent Argos promotion has slashed that to £299. Its ultra-sleek design and cutting-edge OLED display are standout features that might warrant the expense, yet it remains a significant outlay.
This surge in demand for affordable tech has led to an enticing deal where consumers can snag a different Apple Watch model for just £155.
Wowcher has listed the Series 7 on its discount platform at a substantially reduced price because it's refurbished. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here .
When it was released back in 2021, this model retailed at a much higher price point, but now those willing to overlook minor cosmetic imperfections can enjoy a substantial discount. Buyers have the option of selecting either a 41mm or 45mm screen size and the condition of their pre-owned gadget.
From our extensive coverage of Apple launches, we're aware that the original selling price was £399 for the GPS version, contrary to the £419 claimed by Wowcher. Still, this represents a considerable saving of £244.
Wowcher categorises the condition of these models with grades B or C, explaining: "A few signs of wear-and-tear show that it's clearly seen use, but overall it's in good shape.
"There might be minor surface marks, but functionality is completely intact."
The latest Apple Watch Series 10 (from 2024) operates on watchOS 11, and impressively, the Series 7 remains compatible with this software despite being three years its senior.
This compatibility ensures that users can receive updates and maintain their device's performance to the highest standard. The model boasts all the expected features of an Apple watch, including robust battery life, fitness tracking capabilities, and smart notifications, provided you have an iPhone.
Additionally, the model offers blood oxygen level monitoring, heart rate tracking, and ECG functionality – all features that are resonating well with consumers, as evidenced by reviews for a competing Amazon listing where the Prime service is offering a refurbished Watch7 for £160.
One satisfied customer shared: "So far I love every aspect of the watch, the app is much better than some. I use the watch with Strava app as do running and workouts. I find the GPS, calorie, Heart monitor, and step count all good!".
Another buyer commented: "The ECG and oxygen reader has been a life saver too, it's been great for piece of mind. The only reason it's lost a star is because I can't work out why the notifications are not so prominent anymore."
However, our shopping team has identified some potential drawbacks to the Wowcher deal that merit attention. One such issue is the delivery cost; while the deal itself is priced at £155, customers will need to fork out an additional £8.99 for shipping. Another point to consider is the process for redeeming the Wowcher voucher.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 review
If you're a Fold devotee, as I am, the first thing you'll notice is the weight of this phone - or rather, the lack of it. Has Samsung put it on Ozempic? This phone has shed an impressive 29g, going from the Fold6's 239g to this new 215g. The Fold5 was even heavier at 253g. With the new release here, it seems absurd that we were burdening our pockets with a device so heavy just a few years ago.

Apple sues Apple Cinemas theater chain for trademark infringement
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab has sued the owner of Apple Cinemas for trademark infringement, alleging that the Walpole, Massachusetts-based theater chain will create market confusion and dilute the tech giant's branding as it carries out plans for "aggressive nationwide expansion." The lawsuit, opens new tab, filed on Friday in federal court in Boston, said the chain opened a new theater in San Francisco last month, less than an hour's drive from Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. Apple Cinemas has operated in New England since 2013, according to the complaint. Spokespeople for Apple Cinemas did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An Apple spokesperson said on Monday that the company had no comment beyond the text of the complaint. Apple Cinemas plans to open 100 more theaters over the next decade and become "one of the largest theater chains in North America," the lawsuit said. Apple said that the chain has also used the tech giant's name to "enter favorable agreements with landlords." The lawsuit said that Apple Stores often function as "anchor tenants" for malls and that Apple Cinemas are "positioning themselves in malls where there currently are no Apple Store locations as an alternate anchor tenant with the same confusing name and cache." Apple said the chain was already confusing consumers, citing several social media posts asking if its theaters were affiliated with Apple. The complaint said that the theater chain is continuing with its plans despite cease-and-desist letters from Apple and a refusal by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register its trademarks. Apple asked the court for an order blocking the chain from using the Apple name and for an unspecified amount of monetary damages. The case is Apple Inc v. Sand Media Corp, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, No. 1:25-cv-12173. For Apple: Miranda Means, Dale Cendali and Mary Mazzello of Kirkland & Ellis For Apple Cinemas: attorney information not yet available
