It’s also worth noting these prices include free click and collect, with standard delivery costing an additional £4.95. The device is touted as ‘the ultimate smartwatch’, with users able to make and receive phone calls directly from the wrist, as well as keep up to date with messages and social media notifications.
It’s designed with a vibrant 1.83” display and a range of customisable watch faces, while its long-lasting battery can run for roughly five days depending on usage. It also offers music control, along with GPS connectivity and a series of sports modes.
The Reflex Active boasts health functions including monitoring of heart rate and blood oxygen, alongside wellness features and sleep analysis – ideal for helping one achieve their fitness goals. The gadget comes in a gift box complete with a charger, instructions and two-year guarantee.
Shoppers preferring a more premium model could splash out on Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra2 that’s £100 off with the code BFW. This reduces Samsung’s most powerful watch – said to boast a ‘rugged luxury design’ – from £649 to £549.
Elsewhere, the Hume Band 2.0 has dropped from £270 to £189 at Hume Health. This model can deliver up to 14 days of battery life, with advanced health insights including blood pressure monitoring and personalised coaching intended to help ‘prevent chronic illness and improve biological age’.
