Amazon reduces 'neat' £100 smartwatch 'worth every penny' to £16
Amazon Prime Day 2025 ends tomorrow, but plenty of offers are still up for grabs. One standout deal has seen the WeurGhy Smart Watch for Men and Women discounted from £99.99 to £15.19, offering shoppers 85% off the original price.
The product description states: "This activity tracker is equipped with high-precision sensors to monitor health data such as heart rate and blood oxygen around the clock. Automatically analyze sleep quality and generate professional reports. Help you fully understand your physical condition and develop healthy living habits."
The description adds: "This fitness watch has more than 120 professional sports modes built in, which can accurately record your sports data at any time, including calorie consumption, steps and exercise trajectory."
However, one shopper suggested "the functions are limited to what a smartphone can do." That said, reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and happy customers think the discounted watch is "value for money" and "worth every penny."
It's not the only smartwatch on offer from Amazon, so customers should shop around and compare deals before making a purchase. There are also deals available from other retailers.
For instance, the Reflex Active Series 12 Navy Strap Smart Watch is on sale for £30.99 from £39.99 at Argos. Elsewhere, H Samuel offers the Sekonda Flex Rose Gold Tone Bracelet Smart Watch for £65 from £79.99 and Currys offers the FITBIT Versa 4 Smart Watch for £179.
For shoppers who prefer the WeurGhy Smart Watch for Men Women, Amazon's offering has earned high praise. Reviewers gave it an average score of 4.9 out of five. However, it's worth noting there are fewer than 100 global ratings to date, which might be a negative for shoppers who prefer to read a variety of reviews before making a purchase.
One of the positive reviews said: "I am really impressed by how neat it looks and the tasks it can do such as heart rate monitor and calls and weather. For £15 it's worth every penny. It's waterproof and means I can read texts off my wrist instead of hunting for my smartphone every time I get a WhatsApp message. Is a good bit of useful, cheap and cheerful tech."
Someone else praised: "Great for my child, she is always available and she loves the purple color. Good model if you don't want to spend so much money."
A different commenter had mixed thoughts, as they liked the watch but thought it could be improved. They wrote: "Great value for money. Very nice design (I chose the lilac color and it's gorgeous), large and readable display. The main functions such as pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep monitoring and notifications are very precise.
"The battery lasts 5-6 days with regular use. The only flaw is that the compatible apps are limited and a bit basic, but for the price it's a great buy. Perfect for those who want a functional smartwatch without breaking the bank."
Another shopper with similar feedback replied: "Absolutely satisfied, the fitness tracker offers everything I need for my running training and works as described. Pairing with Android was problem-free. The functions are limited to what a smartphone can do, but the tracker is much more comfortable to carry."

'Super accurate' Fitbit with battery that 'easily lasts a week' now under £100
"Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts." For many of us, a smartwatch has become a daily necessity. The wearable tech can help monitor our steps, analyse our workouts, and track our sleep. There are a number of big name brands that people often look to, including Apple Watches and Samsung Galaxy Watches. However, the price tag that comes with these smartwatches can put some people off. Another popular choice is the Google Fitbit, which is often praised for its incredible battery life compared to its rivals. And currently, the Google Fitbit Charge 6 can be snapped up for under £100 on Amazon. The brilliant deal, which has seen a 29 per cent reduction from £139.99 to just £98.99, also comes with six months of Premium membership included. It boasts a seven-day battery and is water-resistant up to 50m. It comes in three different colours; coral, obsidian, and porcelain. It can track heart rate, has a built-in GPS, and more than 40 exercise modes. It also has automatic sleep tracking and gives users a daily sleep score, and can keep you connected to Google Maps, Google Wallet, and your calling, texing, and app notifications. Google Fitbit Charge 6 £139.99 £98.99 Amazon Buy Now on Amazon Product Description For those looking elsewhere, the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) is currently £599. Or for those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Runlio Fitness Tracker is down 35 per cent to £19.54. Coming back to the Google Fitbit Charge 6, it boasts a 4.2 rating from more than 2,000 reviews. Shoppers hailed its week-long battery life and accuracy. One delighted user said: "Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts. "Battery easily lasts a week, which is a big plus. The sleep and activity insights have actually helped me make small changes that stick. Premium membership is a nice bonus too. Overall, a solid upgrade and totally worth it." Someone else agreed, adding: "Bought this for a family member, it is a nice little bit of kit for those wanting all of the fitness and health tracking features you need. "Happy with the battery life and it easy enough to use. Overall good value for money amongst a lot of other smart watch/fitness trackers that are out there." However, another user was frustrated that the watch didn't work when placed over tattoos. They said: "No heart readings [over my tattoos] so I had to change arms and have it point where there's no ink." Someone else complained about the GPS tracking, saying it was "very inaccurate and disconnected frequently" They added: "Would not recommend if your aim is to monitor distance on runs/bike rides etc." But a five-star reviewer hailed the Google Fitbit Charge 6 for playing a big part in their weight loss journey. They said: "From little movement to 10km every morning. The best buy I have made. "Reduced weight by 2.5 stones and feel fitter than I have for years. The watch didn't actually achieve this but 100% contributed toward it." Another satisfied customer wrote: "I really like Fitbits and this is my second watch as my old Charge 5 died in the pool. I am blown away! A really solid battery life as usual from Fitbit and lots of tracking features too! "Love the new workouts and Google Maps, and the obsidian black colour looks great. It also is really simple to use and turns on when you look at it automatically. "The price is quite reasonable because of the performance you are getting and the accurate heart rate. The watch's aluminium frame is durable just like the old Charge 5!" Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'Amazing' Sony headphones shoppers are calling 'best ever' cut by 45% to under £100
The Sony ULT WEAR headphones are now £99 on Amazon, down from £179, with deep bass, noise cancelling, and 30-hour battery life Whether commuting, working from home, or winding down with music, a good pair of headphones can transform the experience. With the right combination of sound quality, comfort, and smart features, some models stand out, especially when there's a significant discount involved. Sony's high-performance over-ear headphones have received a major discount, with many reviewers describing them as 'amazing' and even calling them the 'best ever'. The Sony ULT WEAR Over Ear Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are now available on Amazon for £99, down from their original retail price of £179, a saving of 45%. Finished in black, the headphones offer a premium listening experience packed with features including deep bass, advanced noise cancellation, and up to 30 hours of battery life. The headphones are powered by Sony's Integrated Processor V1 and 40mm driver units, designed to deliver what the company calls 'ULT POWER SOUND'. Users can adjust the bass through a dedicated button, which activates two sound modes: Deep Bass for extra low-end punch and Attack Bass for added energy. The result is a powerful, customisable sound profile particularly suited to bass lovers. Noise cancelling is handled by Sony's adaptive technology, with an ambient sound mode available for those who prefer to stay aware of their surroundings. For calls, the headphones use beam-forming microphones and precise voice pickup technology to ensure clear audio, even in noisy environments. Other features include multi-point Bluetooth pairing, support for Google Assistant and Alexa, and quick charging, with 1.5 hours of playback from just a three-minute top-up. The headphones are compatible with iOS and Android and come with a compact carry case. For those who want alternatives, Sennheiser's ACCENTUM Plus Wireless Headphones are currently £139, down from £199.99, while Soundcore's Space One model is £62.99 and offers adaptive noise cancelling and 40-hour battery life. But if it's Sony's rich bass, smart design, and strong feature set you're after, this deal on the ULT WEAR headphones is hard to ignore. With a current rating of 4.5 stars from more than 1,900 reviews, the Sony ULT WEAR has received widespread praise for its sound quality, comfort, and build. One reviewer wrote: 'Amazing headset… the bass is huge… They look and feel good and sound amazing, the best overhead earphones I've probably ever had.'

One reviewer reported a crack forming on the side of the headphones after six months of regular use, suggesting they may not be the best choice for gym wear. Another wrote: 'Too much bass and not enough soundstage. Good noise cancelling and comfort, but not great for hearing background instruments.' The Sony ULT WEAR is currently available for £99 on Amazon, reduced from £179.

I earn £232,000 as a freelance writer — my salary feels surreal
Welcome back to Me and My Money, Metro's series taking a look at the UK's spending and saving habits. This week we meet Lizzie Davey, 34, a freelance tech and e-commerce writer from Brighton who has built a successful career that gives her an annual salary of more than £200,000. Lizzie saves a lot of her income and hopes to retire by her early 50s. Here, she tells us how she manages her income and savings. I've been freelancing for 12 years, starting aged 23 as a travel writer because I wanted to see more of the world without being tied down. I'd maxed out my annual leave at my job and wanted the freedom to travel as much as I wanted. I'm not sure I'd recommend that to everyone but it worked for me at the time. As time went on I slowly evolved into marketing content because I'd originally worked in marketing before going freelance and that's where my skillset was. When the Covid pandemic hit, e-commerce (online shopping) took off and I landed one e-commerce client. The e-commerce clients I work with are not actual retail brands – they're the companies that create software for those retail brands to use. Now the majority of my clients are in the e-commerce software space, which is obviously still thriving. I write customer-facing content, such as blog posts, case studies, ebooks and also internal communications for companies such as technical documents. I usually work with between seven and 10 clients a month on an ongoing basis. Mostly this involves writing a set amount of pieces or content for a client each month. It's really helpful for predicting my income for the year and giving me consistent work. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Annual income: £232,000 (2024) Income taken from the business after pension, expenses including co-working rent, tax and investments: £73,000 Main monthly outgoings: Amazon Prime: £6.60 (£79 a year) Mortgage: £783.58 Home insurance: £20.72 Council tax: £168 Phone and internet: £92 Energy: £50-£100 Income protection: £26.24 Petrol: £50 Netflix: £17.99 Car insurance: £200 a year It has taken me a while to get to this point. When I started I'd work 14-hour days and charge £25 per piece. Now my minimum rate per article is £850, and I won't do anything under £500 unless it's for a long-standing client looking for a small extra job. Earning this much does feel a bit surreal as it's an income I never ever imagined would be possible doing what I do. There's a trope that writers are poor and self-employed people don't earn much, so I was happy just to have the freedom to work my own hours. The money was a bonus as I've never been particularly money driven. I definitely don't live a luxury lifestyle, although I do eat out a lot more than most and travel more than my peers. I still have a budget though and set aside £500 a month for eating out, lunches, and doing fun things. I drive a 14-year-old Nissan Micra that has definitely seen better days, so I think that says it all! I think the thing to remember here is that while the business earns ~£240,000 a year, I don't pay myself that much. I pay myself about £75,000 a year, so I don't technically have a quarter of a million to spend on myself! The leftover money in the business goes into investments and will be saved for a time when I might want to take a year or so off. I'm definitely a saver when it comes to my personal money. I'm not a big spender AT ALL. I used to have a one-bedroom flat in central Brighton that I bought in 2021 but I wanted more space, so I updgraded to a 3-bedroom house less than three years later. I bought a three bedroom 1930s renovation project in March last year in the suburbs of Brighton. It's been slow progress because I drained the majority of my savings to buy the house but I'm about halfway through. I've had the kitchen and bathroom done and the garden is next on the list. The majority of my personal money is going on the house renovations at the moment, so I don't have a ton of savings, but I do go on holiday 4-6 times a year. These aren't extravagant holidays by any means (I stayed in a hostel on the last one!), and I tend to travel cheap and stay cheap. My main aim when travelling is eating and exploring, so I'm not really a luxury traveller. But my salary also means I have the freedom to say yes to things I want to do and I have quite a lot of hobbies I do throughout the week that I probably wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. I still give myself a budget each month though, and try to stick with that. My plan is to retire early – before the age of 55 – and I've got a financial adviser to help me with that and to keep my savings and investments on track. I pay £1,000 a month into a pension and invest in the stock market through my company in other accounts that I can access before the pension. I work from a co-working space in central Brighton, which I pay £255 a month for, through my company. I really like the social aspect of working alongside other people, and with people who are often self-employed and get it. It was really useful speaking to other freelancers who told me my initial rates were too low and who showed me how I should be structuring contracts and sending proposals. I start work early. I walk to my co-working space, which takes about 40 minutes, and am there for 8am. Between 8am and 11am is solid writing time. I put my phone on aeroplane mode, put my headphones on and listen to any music without lyrics while I concentrate on writing. Between 11am and 2pm, I'll take calls and have lunch. Sometimes I'll meet another freelancer for lunch or go to an event. Between 2pm and 4pm I'll do emails, edits, admin or write an outline for the next day's article. I'm usually done by 4pm except on Mondays where it's more like 5pm or 6pm. I normally take Fridays off, except if I do work for my own website or social media. It's really important to put yourself out there on social media and to build your own personal brand. More Trending I send a free weekly email every Friday aimed at freelancers, where I discuss my work and rates. I'll do a gym class in the afternoon, meet up with friends or go to the beach if it's nice. My advice for people starting now is to have a specific skill that you're good at, that people want and need. For me, that's marketing writing. But there are many writers out there who are trying to make it. And obviously AI has also become a new competitor, but clients still want the human side of content. Clients come to me because of my industry expertise. I've worked so prolifically in the e-commerce space that I understand all the problems their customers have. These companies want to drive sales and drive conversions, which I help with, but also I save them time from having to write their own content. I'm reliable, clients can count on me and they know they're going to get something good delivered on time. They are free to focus on other areas of the business to generate more revenue.
