Yeap! No credit checks and no interest. Amazon just takes out the instalment every month. They also provide a reminder just before they do.

Yes it’s a nice product and great smart watch, but as a fitness tracker it’s terrible as the battery life is so bad.

Your first post is a bit OTT, as that’s a very niche use of a fitness tracker.

How many people spend 5 days away from power, let alone often enough to consider their smart watch terrible for fitness tracking. I would hazard a guess, in terms of battery life, it’s perfectly fine for virtually everyone as a fitness tracker.

If you regularly do 5 days without power, then you have to expect anything with a modicum of processing power (smartphone, smart watch, etc) to run dry. And therefore by the same logic any smartphone is also terrible as a phone (edited)

If you prefer using a store John Lewis have the same watch at the same price.

I have the 5 and it still lasts almost 2 days. Do 4 gym sessions/week, 1 yoga, ~10k walking/day. I don’t use the sleep tracking so that works fine for me. The odd occasion I haven’t charged it over night, I just leave it on charge while I shower/etc and it’s usually fully charged.

Given the integration with my other Apple products, Apple Pay, Health, Mail, What’sApp (I use watchat), Authenticator, unlock Mac, etc I wouldn’t go with another watch.

I can see if you use it for sleep tracking and your morning schedule is erratic (forget to stick it on charge) the battery life may be borderline.

But if you haven’t tried it in practice, I’d consider getting one from Apple/Costco (somewhere with easy returns) and giving it a shot.

I thought they no longer honour price drop

The adviser I got was super nice and he probably did it as an exception, he did say they I should reorder and that this one back, but I said can’t you just refund the difference because it would be more environmentally friendly and save both me and Amazon money and hassle, and he said yea he would do it for me

I bought this last month and Amazon give me £30 credit because it’s declined in price, so thanks for post

Same price from Joh Lewis + extended warranty

Same price at John Lewis with 2 years guarantee

I bought this on another thread on here. And it’s fantastic… even the green colour is nice and if you are concerned it’s barely discernible from a space grey model (imho). I bought A1 refurb model and it’s flawless. Only very minor niggle (for me) I bought the 44mm model and it seems just a tad big for my skinny wrists

It’s offering me to pay in instalments with Amazon. Has anyone ever done this and is it as it says with no interest no credit checks etc ? Just takes the money every month and that’s it?

It’ll last all day. Pretty much no matter how heavily you use it.
I charge mine over night. Or for an hour each morning. I’ve never had mine go flat yet. But yes. It will need a charging everyday

Thanks @millarcat for adding info

I appear to be locked in an endless loop of checking out with this item. Anyone else having/had a similar issue on Amazon? Were it not for the monthly payments I'd just go over to John Lewis...

Always the green one

Just wondering if it was tried on and I had to return it would it be easier to return this one or one from John Lewis
