Smartwatch Deals & Offers

I guess if you were buying it instead of a Xaiomi Miband for monitoring steps etc then it would be OK.

So if I get one of these do I get to bounce on a bed with some of the lovelies in their 'interesting' video? In Switzerland of course!

Plus free transport to landfill.

Fixed thanks !

Plus £2.99 delivery.

If you want the specs, look it up on amazon UK. If you need more, Google Translate will do it for you.

Are you able to translate the page to English??

Import tax!

From what I've read the US ones have to pay more for the Fitbit pay option but supposed to be included in the UK ones

Can't you also use the 2 month audible trial with the $10 offer?

Cant make calls on it

No

"Makibes G03S is equipped with independent GPS positioning, you don't need your smartphone to locationg your positon." Can you simply put is inside the car and leave it to track your car from a web browser or smart phone from home/office?

£114 ish with AliExpress any good ?

Your better off with a Stratos, it's much better looking watch. Any good deal on the Stratos?

But the other guy says you need to take it off to charge it every night ha.

I tack my sleep with the Sleep Cycle app ;)

Like what ? Anything that your phone would not do??

I had a series 3 liked it for a while but hated having to take it off and charge it every day when I got home from work. I now have a samsung gear 3 frontier which lasts me around 3 days most of the time and still works with my iPhone ,plus it actually looks like a nice watch rather than the bit naff looking Apple Watch , it’s cheaper too.

I didn’t say that you do care but an Apple Watch is a very ostentatious choice for better or worse. I don’t think the rounded square look helps. I don’t mind the sleep tracking thing so much but the Garmin watches are just better for fitness and what I do like is not having to charge it every 1-2 days, 1-2 weeks is more likely. I had a Fitbit but it broke so it’s Garmin only for now. The notification aspect of the Apple Watch is good but Apple are so restrictive and it works ‘their way or no way’... I wanted the watch to inform me as well as the phone but if you wear the watch, the phone stays silent, you can’t override this without turning off Wrist Detection which disables many of the good features. Lots of stuff on the forums about it, so it wasn’t just me complaining. Fitbit is a disposable price. The Garmin watches last so long that you charge them once every 1-2 weeks so that’s maybe 50 battery cycles a year vs 350+ for an Apple Watch - that’s the problem. Lithium batteries are rated to 500 cycles and by about 1000 are finished beyond usable life. At £80 for a battery replacement I wouldn’t be replacing a first gen watch anyway, I would only take an S2 or S3 Apple Watch now if that’s what I wanted. I’d recommend the same for you if that’s your chosen watch. Sell yours for £100-150, add the £80 for the ‘battery replacement’ you would have had, not far off an S2.

that is interesting If i do the same with my watch there is no HR reading. Just tried again for five minutes on my and nothing is detected but the moment I put my finger near it, the HR appears and then starts to go down (as no HR is detected). Could be a faulty unit. But mine is working as it should.

This is a proper test that shows the fake heart rate recording

I have one and an Apple Watch. I did a fitness test with both devices and the HR reading of the Bip was close to the Apple Watch so it is fairly accurate. All these fitness devices most likely use the same off the shelf HR sensor anyway. Take a look: https://honglong1976.wordpress.com/2018/02/02/fitness-tracking-apple-watch-hr-vs-amazfit-bip-hr/

yeah the stratos looks cool <3

When I turned mine on I set to English...had no issues with it. EU plug included, so adaptor or charge using something else.

seems like a very good deal, im assuming its the same as UK other than the plug? can change language etc? samsung pay isnt a great loss

£173.17 at the moment with a revolut rate

And even less if you pay with Revolut!

I have just got one. Great was able to press my watch to take a photo.

Got two Skagen ones (which is owned by Fossil I believe). The software is a bit buggy but other than that I would recommend them if you dont need the advanced features of an Android/iWatch. Battery life is pretty good as well so no complains if you need it only for notifications.

As a watch it seemed okay but not particlularly as a smartwatch which I imagine is why most people would buy it

More likely a poorly written/supported app. There's plenty of documentation on how it can work: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2014/701/

lol

Good luck (y) Hopefully you should see something in your tracking update today tomorrow. I think UPS tracking updates only once the package get into the uk. Then its very quick. Was mentioned in a youtube video where the guy ordered a camera. They are quite late replying to emails as well.

Nice. I ordered mine on Thursday. Still nothing about a dispatch or anything. Just processing.

Note from Samsung on Samsung Pay issue: If your device was made for a different country, the software version cannot be changed to match a UK device. Since our goal is to make Samsung Pay available to as many Samsung users as possible, we thank you for letting us know you would like us to make it available for devices from other countries as well. This type of feedback will allow us to improve our application in future updates. ------- - So for time being Samsung Pay UAE wont have any UK pay functionality. Maybe in the future they'll update it. Or someone in XDA finds a workaround - Posting it here in case anyone was buying the Gear Sport from this deal for the the Contact less Pay functionality. I was not using this anyways since my bank was not supported. I use google pay on my phone.

Apologies. Here are the real timelines - Order placed Mon last week. They processed and shipped it by end of Tue and UPS UK had it Wed, who then delivered to me on Fri.

I asked when did you order as in what date not where from haha

Oh dear. Some colours have already sold out. Cheapest now is about £10.

Says discontinued and can't order :/

Direct Purple link here.

I ordered the orange one. Hope it don't look like a toy!

Thanks for taking the time for the explanation

you are more than welcome enjoy it when it arrives

Start an activity that requires GPS and it will turn it on. End the activity and it will turn off. I just use the Mi Fit app, it shows a map once synced to the phone. The watch also shows a basic little map in the activity history

how do you switch on/off GPS on the watch? (if you can) also, how can you see via a map where you have been via the gps?

It took about a week tobarrive and is genuine, apart from the Samsung pay thing all seems good.

How long did it take to arrive? Is it official Samsung? I'm really tempted ordering.

Further to the above, a little googling and I found this advice, which seems to have worked Here is what I did: 1) I uninstalled the following from my Note 8: Samsung Pay App Samsung Gear App Samsung Gear App Plug ins 2) Reset the Gear S3 3) Reinstalled the Samsung Gear App and all plug ins 4) Reconnect the Gear S3 to the Note 8 5) Added cards to the Samsung Pay via the Gear S3 6) Reinstall the Samsung Pay App and added back the cards

Hi all, purchased one of these and can't get Samsung pay to work, I note the comments above but is there a way around this? It does seem to be a uae one and just hangs at the validation stage?

Apparently it went down to 201 before Xmas on their employee portal, I missed that one but would have been close enough for me I think.

The reviews of this site are not too good. Poor communication and long delivery times

Price is excellent, but I would avoid the store. I ordered from a similar store last year and after weeks got told the colour I ordered was out of stock so I cancelled. They promised me 5 times over 6 weeks that they would refund me, but never did. Only got money back through my credit card. Its worth paying more for a decent store

Just a heads up guys. Used the code to bring it to £180, getting very excited then after getting to confirm the order it states it's sent from Hong Kong which made me wary so I cancelled. In addition I'm guessing there'd be a hefty customs charged involved in receiving this from out of the EU. (mad) As a result = COLD from me.

As for the price, very good deal. Good first post.

I regret buying this product, battery life is wick and the new update is terrible.. I have actually had to factory restore mine this evening,, its still updating after 30 minutes. Fitbit need to sort it out..

Me too, needed a new smartwatch. (y) (strong) Btw thanks op

It's only 2cm thin

Ordered it tempted to try :) Lets see how it goes. Good find SinghisKing (highfive)

I’m looking for something like this, anyone recommend anything ( for use with iOS) thx

NO DEAL TO ME: This is JOKE: No.1 F6 watch renamed by seller to the name of his store. Look for "No.1 F6" on aliexpress, quick search shows its at least 2 usd cheaper than this. Btw, no.1 watch is rubbish: I had No.1 G4 watch before, battery wouldn't last half day with bluetooth on. Don't get fooled by nice design and overrated specs. Check reviews as I didn't before I bought it and found it's normal battery life by reading reviews later... binned
