Smartwatches are a fantastic tool for boosting your health and fitness goals, offering vital, detailed information about your body that can help shape your routine, training plan and sleep schedule. Usually, you’d have to shell out a pretty penny to get a decent one, but right now, you can nab a highly-rated option on Amazon for less than £45.
The Tensky Smart Watch for Women is currently priced at £44.79, down from £89.99, and you can save an extra 20% by ticking the coupon option under the price. This brings it down to £35.83 after all the discounts.
This price is for the gorgeous pink colour option, but there are nine different colours in total, with slightly varying prices, all of which can hold their own against some of the big-name brands. As expected, this smart watch comes with a heart rate monitor, as well as a sleep tracker, blood oxygen monitor, and over 60 exercise modes that tailor your data to your preferred activities.
Tensky promises a seven-day battery life, and it’s waterproof enough to handle rain, washing your hands, and swimming without issue – however, Tensky also advises against wearing it in seawater and hot water. Beyond the health tracking features, it will also pair with your smartphone to deliver notifications, control your music playback, manage calls, send calendar reminders, and compose text messages.
Its companion app VeryFit is excellent for customising the watch to your needs, and it’s all housed under a vibrant 1.8-inch screen that gives it a similar look to an Apple Watch.
Amazon shoppers are loving it, with an impressive average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars from over 4,900 reviews. One happy customer shared: “Bought to replace a Fitbit Versa, I was dubious due to the price but couldn’t justify the price of a new Fitbit. Not disappointed in any way. It’s better than my Fitbit was! Everything works as it should and the battery life is brilliant. Used it for 2 weeks and still on 50%. Already recommended to friends.”
Another added: “It does everything I need and more. Its comfortable to wear, and along with the app is easy to use. It charges really quickly and the battery lasts for days… I would definitely recommend.”
Adding to the positive feedback, another person exclaimed: “This watch is amazing for the price,”.
In a glowing five-star review, a particularly pleased buyer stated: “I am absolutely thrilled with this smartwatch. The 1.8″ touch screen is bright and responsive, and the built-in Alexa is a game-changer for quick tasks,” while finishing with a solid endorsement: “Highly recommend this versatile fitness watch.”
However, some customers have encountered issues with the product. A dissatisfied user pointed out that the instructional manual was lacking, saying: “not enough info in the instruction book”, and is still puzzled because “I still don’t know what some of the icons are for and nothing on the app to explain.”
One unhappy customer voiced their irritation over not being able to receive notifications from their preferred news sources: “I cannot get notifications on it that I want, as neither BBC News nor Sky News are compatible apps. This is not included in the products specifications online otherwise I would not have bought it.”
While some users may face compatibility issues, this challenge isn’t exclusive to any one brand – even the top players like Samsung and Apple encounter similar snags. If your budget allows and you’re looking for a device with a broader array of features, consider splurging on an Apple Watch from Currys at £399, or if you’re after something more robust, the high-spec Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is available for £599, as noted by the Express.
