    Ah, the old sheep brigade. I'm not a fan of the term, but I'd argue that you're more sheepy, because you can't just ignore a deal that you're not interested in. You feel the need to pop in and post childish comments.

    It's not like you're even offering any constructive criticism.

    I should have probably ignored you and not given you the attention you crave, but it's done now.

    The estimated manufacturing cost of an Apple Watch is around £56 so even … The estimated manufacturing cost of an Apple Watch is around £56 so even with £50 off you are still paying about £40 of VAT and £160 of Cupertino idiot tax.



    Yep, because everyone knows that the manufacturing cost of the final product, is the ONLY Cost, right? These products design themselves, the prototypes assemble themselves, test themselves. the software is created out of thin air with no cost, and the finished products Teleport themselves from China to the end customer.

    I have had the Apple Watch since it was released and use it nearly everyday, and it's nice. I take calls on it when am driving, I switch tracks when my phone isn't on me I use it to pay for things with Apple Pay (cool full stop) you can read messages when they are sent to you without taking your phone out, you can silence a call by just putting your hand over the watch.
    It's very nice
    If you have the money get this because it's a good deal!

    I take it off at night,not really bothered about my sleep patterns. As far as I'm aware I go to sleep around 12 and wake up at 7am upset in the fact that I have to go to work. Don't need to know anything further.

    Never buy a first gen Apple product

    Based on what this website is about this is most certainly a hot deal. However many people will vote on the product etc. For the record I don't think Smartwatches are really that useful yet, that and their short battery life makes them a no go for me just yet.

    Have some heat.

    I don't get it?? is there a demand for these kind of products or do they just make them and then create the demand?? personally I don't see the fascination.

Not the first time mediocre deals for apple products have been voted red hot and the reality is idiot apple fans are voting it hot trying to convince themselves and each other that apple products really are worth their horrendous prices. So no it isn't a question of different things appeal to different people it is a question of apple fans hijacking the site to soothe their egos.



    If that was the case all apple deals would soar.

    If you don't like Apple products and have no interest in this then why keep banging on about it here? Simple, pure jealousy that others can buy one without worrying about the cost while you scrimp on cheap Chinese knock offs from fleabay.

    I'd agree - I only use a smartwatch for the notifications and things at a glance (like stock prices and weather on the default clock face). The apps are truly the worst thing ever on the Apple Watch - and I cannot believe they haven't been slammed for it more in reviews; I don't know a single person who uses the apps on the watch over their actual phone because they take an eternity to load.

    With the iPad they virtually created the tablet market so.....



    /facepalm

    Technology stole from IBM. Google it.

    Apple don't invent anything, they take others ideas (or purchase the company/patent), dumb them down, add aerospace aluminium, make a fancy advert then triple the price.

    Consumerism at its finest. Hats off to them.

But regarding the 'deal', I could release a smartwatch of my own at £1000, then immediately discount it to £300 - just because it's a 70% discount doesn't make it a good deal. It still needs to justify the price and I don't think it does that

    John Lewis really are the best - 2 year guarantee, superb customer service and genuinely never knowingly undersold. They just refunded me £50 on my watch as the price has now gone down. I am so glad I bought it from them. Voted hot for the deal, but mainly because it's a deal from John Lewis.

Interesting toy at crazy Apple prices but I do wonder how many buyers are also complaining about the government's approach to the economy. Buy by all means if you feel you must (not on credit please!) though personally I'll pass.


    Buying a watch affects the economy!!! Have you any idea what an average designer watch costs? A lot more, and guess what? Doesn't affect the economy. Accept you misjudged your pathetic immature comments and have been shown up for what you are. Stick to lingering under bridges with the other trolls.

  27. deleted547488's avatar
    The pros and cons comments that people are making are irrelevant to people who want/don't want a smart watch, in that they never really mirror what you the purchaser/non-purchaser see's as good or bad. when the Samsung Gear S was released I bought one on pre-order because I could afford to and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, since owning I am more than pleased with the watch as it makes life a lot easier even though I basically only use the alerts to texts, phone calls which can be attended to straight away or later and the phone can be answered from the wrist. No longer any missed or dropped calls due to not getting my phone out in time etc. etc. Oh and it tells me the time BRILLIANT.
    The only problem is my collection of high end watches never see the light of day anymore, still my son will probably appreciate them from my will.

    Let's face it me honest new shiny gadgets make us happy, it is what … Let's face it me honest new shiny gadgets make us happy, it is what consumerism is all about. My sisters got me a pebble for Christmas and I'm really happy about it because I'm certain it will make me happy, obviously it won't. But if you work your butt off for wages why not buy, you certainly give a few weeks of fun. The question is are the Buddhists lying to us about happiness coming from within, being content with what we have, orders that only apply to a certain type of person, I don't know. We could take this £200 and use instead to buy gifts for our friends are in need or other good causes. I know it's easy to theorise and doing that would probably make us happier than having this watch. Notice how I'm making this pronouncement in the knowledge that I'm getting a smart watch, yes I know I should be a politician.




    What the Eff you on about, what ever it is I'll have a few grams of that.

    Is this worth getting?does anyone know when the next Gen will be released?



    I think next generation is due approx Q2 2016. I'm keen to get an Apple Watch having had Android wear and now moved to iOS but the battery life of the first generation product has really put me off. For most people, I would recommend you wait to see how the next generation turns out as I would expect some fairly large steps forward in performance. Voted hot though because it's a solid price for the product.

    Had Android Wear for over a year now, feel naked without my G Watch R - you don't know what you're missing till you use one. That said the Apple watch of what I've compared with my friends to mine is a more show than go over Android currently and not worth the ridiculous asking price.

    Despite the fact that I purchased mine from their website 29 days ago and their price match supposedly only being good for 28 days after purchase they just refunded me the £50 anyway after submitting the price match form Thank you OP!

    Was happy with the watch before, I'm even more happy with it now

    I prefer the banana watch, it's a timeless classic and the best part is I can use it for years without recharging it, with the apple watch I have to recharge it after mere hours.
