What watch for £50

[slomax]

I'm surprised these haven't all sold out already, they had black strap ones on yesterday for the same price and they went almost immediately. I was too late on those ones.

That one definitely was small.

Just as well i missed it then! (although i probably could have shifted it on an made a few quid, had i bought it without reading the description properly) did you get one in the end hoofy??

Sadly not. Realised I had to go after posting. I have a Smiths PRS-27B which I love so I'm fine.

Swiss movement, too. Never heard of the brand, though. Anyone?

cheaper from here

I think it was about the same price during the Lightning Sale.

A colour smart watch for £10.99?



Surely not. Gotta be a con hasn't it?

[Hoofy]

Blimey. I guess the problem is that the first time you charge it, it blows up and burns your neighbourhood to the ground.

Looks like the same item here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Wristwatch-U8-Sm... I was expecting it to be just a sticker on a pebble shaped watch

Think I'll stick with my Pebble

[Hoofy]

From reading the reviews, I think it would be better if the graphics really were just stickers.

What do you expect for the price?

I wouldn't bother.

For me, the issue is if you're going to offer it at any price, it has to do what it says on the tin. Otherwise, we could have retail banks losing money here and there then when you complain, they say, "Well, your account is free. What do you expect?"

[mikeveal]

Of course it will be next to useless for that price. That's what? Two and a half pints of beer? If it lasts as long as 2.5 pints I'd be surprised.

Incredible that someone can produce and ship a smartwatch & still generate a profit at that price, components alone should be many times more than that.
Must be one hell of a sweatshop putting those together.

Thread revival time!!

Thoughts on this for £40?

[MarkRSi]

Hornetrider and other OCD sufferers, look away now...



From here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C65WV6I?keyw...

Hilariously the hours/minute markers don't align up same as the photo on amazon, at least they're consistent...

Otherwise different to fault given the stupidly low price. Bracelet is a bit rough especially when taking the links out but not uncomfortable to wear. As with all the other sub £20 automatics it's much larger than the better built Seiko 5.

As with that 'smart' watch posted earlier, must be quite a sweatshop punting these out :S

Very tempted by this, but will keep my Pebble for now and wait for an Android Wear compatible watch I think

[Hoofy]

That's the one I've got. Quite useful!

I've had that, works well, until the watch pops out of its frame = borked.

go pebble or android wear.

Oh. Can it be fixed?

[cirian75]

superglue, but the watch is not android wear.
