Amazon reduces price of ‘stylish' and ‘powerful' £100 smartwatch to £23
Great news for tech fans: Amazon has slashed the price of an 'impressive' smartwatch that customers describe as 'stylish and functional.' While the online giant's recent Prime Day sale may officially be over, it has left a treasure trove of bargains still available.
The Soudorv smartwatch has plummeted from its original £99.99 price tag to £23.74. This timepiece boasts an extensive array of capabilities, including 3D full touch technology, step counting, stroke monitoring, sleep tracking, alarm functionality, sedentary reminders, remote photography control, and music management.
Wearers can also conduct and receive phone calls, record conversations, and monitor weather conditions, reports the Daily Record. The device doubles as a fitness companion, offering over 100 exercise modes, magnetic charging, app notification alerts, and extended battery performance.
For shoppers happy to avoid the big names of smart watches like Apple and Samsung, there are plenty of good deals available currently. Shoppers can snap up the Reflex Active Series 12 Smartwatch for £29.95 from Currys. Otherwise, H. Samuel has the Sekonda Flex Rose Gold Tone Bracelet Smartwatch for £65, while Argos has the Fitbit Charge 6 Fitness Tracker for £99.
Meanwhile, the Amazon timepiece has garnered glowing feedback from users, earning a stellar 4.9-star rating. One satisfied customer commented: "Stylish and functional. Impressive smartwatch with great features at a great price."
A second reviewer said: "This is a great watch for daily use. It is light, comfortable, and looks nice on the wrist. The screen is clear, and the touch response is smooth and effective. I use it to track my steps, monitor my heart rate, and assess my sleep quality. It's also waterproof, so I don't have to take it off when washing my hands.
"The battery lasts a few days, which is very good. It connects easily to my phone, and I can see messages and calls right on the watch. It's good for men and women. It's simple, smart and very useful for the price."
Another customer said: " Sleek and powerful. This smartwatch combines sleek design with powerful features like fitness tracking, notifications, and heart rate monitoring. The touchscreen is responsive, and the battery lasts well for daily use. It's a great companion for staying organised and active on the go."
However, not all customers were completely satisfied. One unimpressed buyer said: "The strap broke after three weeks, so it's now unusable. Can't send it back as it's a week after the return date."
Another customer, while generally happy, did encounter a hiccup: "Only minor issue was syncing it with the app at first, but it's been smooth since."
Despite these issues, many continued to sing the praises of the watch. A satisfied shopper commented: "This ladies' smartwatch fitness tracker is easy to use and looks beautiful. It helps track your steps, heart rate, sleep, and more to keep you healthy.
"The design is simple and stylish, perfect for everyday wear. The battery lasts a long time, and the app is easy to understand. Overall, it's a great choice for women who want to stay fit and look good too."
Another satisfied customer said: "Very nice watch. I am amazed by this watch. It's packed with amazing features, and the build quality is exceptional. I am really happy with it. The readings are pretty accurate, and the battery life is so good."

Shoppers save £220 on Shark mop and vacuum bundle ideal for 'quick daily cleaning'
Shark is helping shoppers 'upgrade their cleaning experience' with the exclusive offer. While cleaning is a task not everyone enjoys, it can be made a lot easier when households have the right tools that can be pulled out at a moment's notice. However, when shoppers take into account the price of individual appliances, such as vacuums, steamers, mops etc, it can leave a bitter taste in your mouth. In order to combat this and help leave your home looking sparkling and feeling fresh, Shark has created a bundle deal that shoppers in need of new cleaning tools won't want to miss. Renowned for their quality cordless vacuum cleaners and other cleaning appliances, buyers will receive high quality tools while saving hundreds of pounds. Included in the Shark Stratos Cordless Bundle, shoppers will get a Shark's Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum and Klik n' Flip Automatic Steam Mop. Normally retailing for £519.98 as a bundle, savvy shoppers can now grab this deal for £297.99 - saving shoppers £221.99. Buying the devices outside of the deal will cost shoppers £349.99 altogether, however this is due to both appliances also receiving individual reductions. The cordless vacuum has dropped from £379.99 down to £249.99, while the steam mop is now retailing for £99.99 (RRP £139.99). Said to be Shark's 'best ever hair pick-up vacuum', the Stratos Plus hoover will provide optimal suction whether it is used on carpet or hard floors due to its anti hair wrap technology. This allows the vacuum to remove hair from the brush-tool during use to make cleaning easier, reports Leicestershire Live. This vacuum is also an ideal choice for pet owners as it comes with a tool that has been specifically designed to remove pesky embedded hair from furniture. Additionally, the vacuum uses 'Clean Sense IQ' to automatically adjust the cleaning power when it detects any dirt that is usually difficult to see. Shark Stratos Cordless Bundle £519.98 £297.99 Shark Buy Now Product Description Over to the Automatic Steam Mop, this device is said to clean and sanitise 99.9 per cent of common household bacteria that can get stuck on a variety of hard floors such as stone, marble, tile and hardwood. On top of this, the mop also comes with a steam blaster to help tackle tougher stains. However, for those who want to save space in their home, Amazon is also offering the Tefal X-CLEAN 4 Cordless Wet & Dry Vacuum Mop. Normally retailing for £349.99, shoppers can now snatch up this 2-in-1 device for £100 less in a limited time deal for only £249.99. Alternatively, for those only looking for a new vacuum, Argos is selling the Shark PowerPro Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for £190. Along with a five year warranty, this device is said to deliver powerful debris and pet hair pickup all through a lightweight, flexible stick. For those who are intrigued by Shark's Stratos Cordless Bundle, it currently boasts an impressive 4.4 star rating from over 2,100 customers. One five-star reviewer was delighted with the vacuum cleaner, writing: "Super light weight and actually picks up bits in the corners which other hoovers struggle with! 10/10." With another person adding: "I bought this just to use for quick daily cleaning with the idea of using my duo for full house cleaning but this manages the whole house (5 rooms and stairs) using eco for my hard floors and the higher power for carpets. "The smart-sense does drain the battery quick so best to choose which mode you need. Love the ease of being able to do the whole house without trailing cables and heaving the bigger vac upstairs." However, one shopper did have a slight grumble about the hoover, commenting: "Very light easy to manoeuvre and seems to pick up well, only thing I am not very happy about is it makes a squeaky noise when I am hoovering carpet while pulling backwards! Other than that so far it's good." In terms of the steam mop, one top reviewer noted: "A great addition to my cleaning tools. Heats up fast and does a great job on my kitchen floor. Would recommend this to everyone who is fed up of a wet floor and a mop that needs cleaning." However, another customer wasn't entirely pleased with a design: "We have had ours a while now, it's an ok steamer, but the design is not great, as in you have to store it up against a wall, unlike most upright hoovers that stand up without leaning against anything."

Swinney calls for legal referendum if SNP secures majority at Holyrood election
Writing in a column in the Daily Record, Mr Swinney said that in the 17 years since the 2008 financial crash 'people feel like they are working harder than ever, but not seeing any improvement in their living standards'. He said the UK economy is 'fundamentally failing to deliver for ordinary people' as well as generating insufficient funding for public services. The SNP leader called for the May 2026 Holyrood elections to be 'a springboard for Scotland taking charge of our own destiny'. He said the situation had got worse since the 2014 referendum, and wrote: 'Think what could have been achieved had we not been forced to spend so much time and money trying to mitigate the ongoing damage of Brexit. 'Or the carnage unleashed by Liz Truss's mini-budget. Or the years of austerity, or Westminster cuts like the Winter Fuel Payment. 'We were told we didn't need independence and we just needed a Labour government – but look how that has turned out.' He wrote that 'independence is the catalyst that will deliver a better future for us all' and that 'with Scotland's energy resources in Scotland's hands, we can reduce bills for consumers and cut costs for businesses'. Mr Swinney revealed he hoped to deliver an SNP majority similar to 2011 in a bid to 'secure a legal referendum recognised by all' and had submitted a motion to the SNP conference proposing that 'we work to deliver a majority of SNP MSPs in the Scottish Parliament to secure that referendum'. He pledged to unveil 'radical policies that we know will transform Scotland' in the coming months, and to 'break the logjam and end this frustration that we all feel'. Mr Swinney added: 'We must be ready to follow the path which we know can lead us to an independent state.' Scottish Conservative deputy leader Rachael Hamilton said: 'John Swinney is like a broken record. In a bid to silence internal critics of his weak leadership, he has thrown diehard nationalists some more red meat on the one issue they all agree on: independence. 'Ordinary Scots are sick and tired of the SNP's obsession with breaking up the UK. 'The public want John Swinney to focus on fixing the damage his government has done in decimating essential services such as schools and the NHS at the same time as making Scotland the highest taxed part of the UK.' Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: 'This SNP Government has lost its way and ran out of ideas – while one in six Scots suffer on an NHS waiting list. 'Despite that, John Swinney can't end his own obsession with division and today has confirmed he'll put Scots second to appease his own party. 'From the crisis in our NHS to the violence in our schools, the SNP has left every institution in Scotland weaker. 'This is not as good as it gets and in 2026 Scotland will have a chance to put a stop to SNP decline and vote for a fresh start.' Alex Cole-Hamilton, leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, said: 'At last year's election the SNP took an almighty beating because people were tired of them obsessing over one issue. It seems like John Swinney is a glutton for punishment. 'Perhaps rather than focusing on what the SNP membership cares about, he should focus on what the country needs. 'The health service and the state of our schools has been neglected for too long because all the SNP care about is breaking up the UK.'

John Swinney 'accepts Donald Trump dinner invitation'
The First Minister will dine with the US president in Aberdeenshire on Monday evening, Sky News reports. It comes ahead of their official talks scheduled for Tuesday, where Swinney is expected to make the case for a tariff exemption on Scotch whisky, currently taxed at 10% for import to the US. The First Minister (below) told BBC Breakfast: 'Tariffs are very important for the Scottish economy and obviously scotch whisky is a unique product. (Image: Duncan Glynn) 'It can only be produced in Scotland. It's not a product that can be produced in any other part of the world. So there's a uniqueness about that, which I think means there is a case for it to be taken out of the tariffs arrangement that is now in place.' He is also expected to press the president to throw his weight behind a ceasefire in Gaza, which is expected to feature in Trump's conversations with Keir Starmer on Monday. Swinney has found himself under fire for courting Trump during his private visit to Scotland, which takes in trips to his golf courses in Ayrshire and [[Aberdeen]]shire. Protests are organised to coincide Trump's visit to his resort at Menie – to which Swinney pledged an £180,000 cash injection from the public purse. READ MORE: Man arrested for alleged 'abusive behaviour' at anti-Trump protest Swinney has also claimed that Trump's visit could boost tourism to Scotland. Writing in the Daily Record, the First Minister said that 'millions of Americans including Trump have ancestral links to Scotland and that the US was 'our largest inward investor' and 'Scotland's top international export destination'. He cited Trump's visit as an opportunity for American citizens to 'see the very best that our country has to offer' and that 'many of those watching this visit are, of course, future potential tourists and investors in Scotland'.

She added: 'This message is to Donald Trump but also our elected leaders preparing to meet him: there is no place for Trumpism in Scotland.' Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie also criticised the cash award for the [[Aberdeen]]shire golf course ahead of the Nexo Championship next month, saying: 'This shames Scotland. It's an embarrassing attempt to please a bully and shows the same craven attitude as [[Keir Starmer]]. We should be standing in solidarity with the people on the receiving end of [[Donald Trump]]'s regime.' The Scottish Government was approached for comment.
