Amazon reduces 'outstanding' £130 smartwatch that 'works like a dream' to £24
Amazon shoppers are praising an "impressive" smartwatch that's been significantly reduced online. The retailer has dropped the price of a popular watch by a huge 82%.
The OUKITEL smartwatch has been reduced from its original price of £129.99, down to £23.99. The smartwatch features a 1.96 inch full-touch colour screen and connects to the GloryFit app, where users can find more than 200 personalised dial backgrounds to choose from or create their own.
The Amazon watch also comes with a Bluetooth call and SMS notification function, with a built-on microphone and speaker for calls, music and messages. There are more than 140 sports modes available on the watch too, including treadmill, jogging, cycling, yoga and more. The watch is waterproof and has a built-in real-time health monitor which tracks your heartrate, sleep, and more.
Alternatively, the Sekonda Connect Smart Watch is available for £89.99, while Argos stocks the Radley Pink Strap Smart Watch and Wireless Earbud Set for £73.99. The Reflex Active Women's Series 23 RGP Pink Strap Smart Watch is on sale at H. Samuel for £35.
The Amazon smartwatch has racked up rave reviews online, with a 4.8 star rating overall. Among the many reviews, one person said: "Can't believe they can produce a watch for this price. Works like a dream connects easily via Bluetooth and ticks all the boxes. Seems as accurate as my wife's vastly more expensive watch. Comfortable to wear and looks good."
A second wrote: "The design is sleek and modern-comfortable to wear and lightweight, making it easy to forget you even have it on. The display is vibrant and clear, even in bright sunlight."
A third added: "Really great watch. Comfortable and great battery life. Watch phone calls are cool. Step counter seems pretty accurate. Flashlight a handy bonus."
A fourth said: "Beautiful smartwatch. This smartwatch is very good. Easy to pair with all devices. Nice features, highly recommended."
However, some shoppers did have issues with the watch, with one shopper claiming that while it works "perfectly fine", there were a number of things they didn't like about it. They said: "Battery Life is not as long as the product description says it is. I find myself recharging the watch about every 2-3 days, where as other watches I've used last almost 7-10."
The reviewer also added that the watch "sometimes feels clunky" and "lags a it with using certain features." They also claimed the sleep tracking is "hit or miss."
Despite this, others continued to praise the watch online. One person said: "I am absolutely thrilled with this fitness watch! It's packed with features that cater to all my health and activity needs. It pairs seamlessly with both iOS and Android, making it super convenient to sync my data. The battery life is outstanding. This smartwatch is stylish, durable, and extremely user-friendly. Highly recommend it!"
A second wrote: "I am very satisfied with this smartwatch. The quality is impressive and it has all the features I need, such as the heart rate monitor, activity tracking and message notifications. The battery lasts for days with normal use, and the design is sleek, sporty and comfortable to wear.
"In addition, the setup was very simple. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good smartwatch at a very affordable price!"

I'm a nail technician — my favourite LED lamp has been slashed by 43% and it gives salon-quality results
TWO years ago, I became a qualified nail technician and since then, have been through countless nail lamps. The one that has remained my trusty companion has been the SUNUV nail lamp — and it's been discounted on Amazon by a hefty 43%. Whether you're looking to save some cash by doing your manicures at home or considering a career as a nail technician, this nail lamp is one to consider, offering salon-quality nails at an incredibly affordable price. We all know that summer brings weddings, BBQs, festivals, and other events that can strain finances, leaving less budget for monthly salon trips. So, now is the perfect time to save your pennies and put some treatments on hold by investing in a nail lamp. The SUNUV lamp has over 2,000 five-star reviews, has made over 3,000 sales this month alone, and is currently on sale for just £39.98. How much is it? The lamp usually retails for £69.99 but is currently (and frequently) on sale at Amazon for just £39.98. Who's it best for? The lamp suits anyone looking to do their nails at home, all the way up to people looking to start an independent career in nails. It's perfect for beginners as much as trained professionals due to its easy-to-use features and salon-quality strength. What we loved: The affordability and salon quality, as well as its four different time settings, which include a longer time and lower heat setting for sensitive hands and the longevity of a manicure. What we didn't: I genuinely don't have any issues to report with this lamp — it's been my go-to for years. SUNUV Led Nail Lamp £69.99 £39.98 - buy here Performance 2 BUY HERE I tested this lamp as part of my review of the best nail lamps, focusing on how long it takes to use, how easy it is for beginners to get to grips with and the features that set it apart from other devices on the market. The SUNUV lamp takes the top spot as the best overall lamp for me for several reasons. Firstly, despite being a salon-quality lamp — in fact, many salons use it — it's priced similarly to many flimsy starter lamps, making it a steal for the quality it offers. While it doesn't come with polishes, base coats and tools like some others do, the durability of the manicures it delivers makes it worth purchasing those additional items separately. One feature that I really love is the three different time settings of 10, 30, and 60 seconds, as well as a fourth option: a lower-heat, longer-timed 90-second setting, perfect for those with sensitive hands who may find higher heat intensity uncomfortable. The placement of the lights inside the lamp ensures even curing, while the sturdy, detachable base makes pedicures much easier to achieve. Price and packaging Other salon-grade lamps, such as Glitterbels or Gelish, can sit at the higher end of the price range, costing between £250 and £350. I've tested Gelish as well as other high-end lamps and still find SunUV's lamp to be the best all-rounder in terms of value, affordability, and features.

Shapermint brings its inclusive shapewear to the UK
Shapermint, the U.S.-based shapewear brand known for championing size inclusivity and unretouched campaigns, has officially launched in the UK. It is a notable expansion for a brand that has already served more than 12 million customers globally. With a product offering that runs from size XS to 4XL, and a portfolio of best-selling comfort-driven designs, Shapermint arrives on British shores with a clear message: compression doesn't have to mean discomfort. Founded in 2018, Shapermint is part of a broader wave of direct-to-consumer brands reshaping the intimates market. In the U.S., it has achieved mass-market success through distribution on Amazon and Walmart, riding a wave of changing consumer expectations around bodywear. British shoppers will now be able to access the full collection via the newly launched UK e-commerce platform. Where traditional shapewear once promised sculpting at the expense of comfort, Shapermint is selling a different proposition, soft, seamless, roll-resistant support that prioritises ease of movement. Its hero product, the All Day High Waisted Shaper Short, has been lauded for its breathable compression panels and ability to disappear under clothes — without the tell-tale signs of pinching or rolling. The brand's wireless bras, including the Supportive Comfort and Sweetheart Contour models, have developed a loyal following, thanks in part to influencers like British body confidence advocate Iskra Lawrence, who boasts over 5 million followers on social media. Shapermint's messaging, comfort-first, digitally native, and visually honest, reflects a wider shift across the lingerie and shapewear industry. Brands such as Savage X Fenty, Skims, and Good American (all of which offer sizing up to at least 4XL) have upended an industry long dominated by narrow ideals and restrictive garments. According to research firm Edited, size-inclusive lingerie lines have grown by more than 34 percent globally since 2020, with comfort now a key purchasing driver. Gabrielle Richards, Brand Director at Shapermint, explains the pivot: 'We're seeing a shift in consumer expectations around shapewear, it's no longer about squeezing into something restrictive for a night out. Today's shopper is looking for confidence-building pieces they can wear all day.' The UK market presents both opportunity and competition. Brands such as M&S, which dominates the domestic intimates space, have also expanded their shapewear ranges in recent years, and newer entrants like Skims have seen success with Gen Z and millennial audiences alike. Whether Shapermint's pared-back, comfort-first philosophy will resonate with British consumers accustomed to either high street price points or Kardashian-level branding remains to be seen. Still, in an era where the visual language of fashion is increasingly shaped by authenticity and access, Shapermint's arrival in the UK adds another voice to the growing conversation around bodywear that works 'with: the body, not against it. Summary Shapermint, a U.S. shapewear brand known for size inclusivity and unretouched campaigns, has launched in the UK, expanding its reach after serving over 12 million customers globally. Shapermint prioritizes comfort and ease of movement, offering soft, seamless support in sizes XS to 4XL, reflecting a shift in consumer expectations towards confidence-building, all-day wear. The UK market presents both opportunity and competition for Shapermint, as it enters a space with established brands like M&S and newer entrants like Skims, requiring it to resonate with British consumers through its comfort-first philosophy.

Get a 'fast and reliable' Fire TV Stick rival for £5 - but the deal is selling fast
The Roku Express HD streaming stick is one of the closest rivals to the Fire TV Stick, and in a savvy deal stack it can be bought for less than £5 - here's how Amazon Fire TV Sticks are undoubtedly some of the most adaptable devices available for those looking to enhance their smart TVs, but we've found something for a fraction of the price. Rival Roku offer the same plug-in perks, and its streaming gadget can now be bought for £5. The Roku Express HD streaming stick is one of the fiercest competitors to the Fire TV Stick due to its similarities and, naturally, its looks and appearance, but there are numerous differences to bear in mind. One of the top features shoppers favour about the Roku device is the interface. Thanks to TopCashback, shoppers can get the device for slightly less than £5. Those who buy the device from Currys but through TopCashback's links will give shoppers a proportion of their money back. Man shares 'gran's cream' that 'cleared spots and blemishes in four days' VPN fans rushing for free £50 Amazon voucher thanks to stellar NordVPN offer New TopCashback members and Currys customers will receive £4.82 back after cashback, bringing the total cost down significantly. When it comes to content, there's also a broader range of apps to choose from. It's also not part of the Amazon ecosystem, so unless shoppers are a massive fan of Alexa and being in the Amazon ecosystem, Roku could be an option. In terms of specs, the device allows viewers to watch in 1080p and has a vast range of apps and channels, including iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5, UKTV Play and STV, reports the Mirror. There's also Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, NOW TV, STV, Google Play Movies and TV, Rakuten TV, Sky Store, Sky News, Pluto TV, BBC Sport, Rakuten, Crunchyroll, and Hayu. For music enthusiasts, there's even Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and TuneIn Radio. The device boasts excellent reviews and provides an alternative to the Amazon Fire TV Stick at a higher price point. Google's 4K Streamer Kit is also available for £99.99, offering swift performance and sleek design for accessing all necessary streaming applications. The Roku Express has more than 1000 reviews from shoppers, with many praising its interface and connection. As one user said: "Roku Express is way better than its rivals. Connection to Wi-Fi is so easy and never drops out like my last streaming stick. "It is also much faster and reliable than others, and it broadcasts in HD where available". Another reviewer noted: "Good low-cost solution for streaming multiple TV services. "We especially like the simplified remote control. Set up is easy, but you do need to open a Roku account using a credit card; however, PIN protection helps limit the risk of unintended (or unauthorised) purchases." Nevertheless, some users expressed dissatisfaction with the limited functionality of the Roku remote. As one person said: "It was really easy to set up and use, as well as the simplicity of finding and setting up streaming services via Roku. "But the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't have a power button or volume controls, which meant I still had to" use my TV remote as well as the Roku remote, which was a bit of a nuisance having to keep two remotes handy rather than just one. Here's how to get a Roku Stick for £5 Sign up as a new member. Find Currys on the site and hit 'Get Cashback Now' Shop and check out as usual on the Currys website with the Roku stick in your basket Cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction
