Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch on offer for £39 in limited Wowcher deal
The deals website is offering discounts on refurbished Galaxy smartwatches
Gymgoers and daily step-count fanatics know that smartwatches can cost upwards of £200, especially for leading brands such as Samsung and Apple. However, shoppers who don't mind choosing an older model can currently buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch on Wowcher for £39.
Samsung's Galaxy Watch Bluetooth 42mm SM-R810 automatically tracks more than 39 types of activities and comes complete with GPS, ideal for runners and those who enjoy long rambles. It's also equipped with a 1.2-inch screen and can track a user's heart rate, sleep rate, and calorie intake.
The exact same watch is also on sale at Amazon for £70 however, there is limited availability. Wowcher sells the refurbished watch in two 'grades' - Grade A (minimal wear) is categorised as 'Very Good', and Grade B is 'Good' (light signs of use).
Both grades offer fully functional devices, Wowcher says. The £39 option for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Bluetooth 42mm SM-R810 falls into the Grade B group.
On Amazon, customers can find reviews of the fitness trackers. One person said: "Replaced a three-year-old edition and really like the new one. Battery life is really, really improved!"
The same customer continued: "Functionality remains great. Have not tried Sleep tracking so I did not rate it. The watch has been everything I hoped it would be, could not be happier."
Another stated a downside, saying: "Does not work with Samsung Pay, the app is not installed, and there is no Samsung Pay option in the Galaxy Wearable app."
Shoppers who would prefer a newer model and don't mind paying the extra price can pick up a Samsung Galaxy Watch7 (40mm) for £239, usually £289. The sale price is available at Amazon and applies to the green and cream colourways.
Another premium option is Apple's Watch SE priced at £219. The 40mm watch has PGS and can be used to make calls and send messages, as well as fitness and tracker features.
Customers new to Wowcher can find general reviews of the retailer's services on Trustpilot. One user said: "Easy ordering and payment system, no hassle."
Another added: "Lots of good experiences at great prices!" Another left a mixed review, noting a downside to the site's userability.
They said: "I like the discounts, but it's very confusing trying to redeem."
