Amazon shoppers dub Samsung Galaxy Fit3 'the best smartwatch' amid 31% price slash
Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 down to just £41.
Not that many years ago, when people spoke about tracking their steps or fitness, the majority of us would assume that this was done through a Fitbit. While still popular today, the device now faces more competition from other brands than it did before.
One such competitor is Samsung, who is widely known for its Galaxy Watch range. Within this range are some devices that are fitness-focused, including the Galaxy Fit3 which has been dubbed by some shoppers to be 'far better than Fitbit".
Currently, Amazon has slashed the price of the popular Samsung watch down from £59 to only £41. Released back in early 2024, this fitness tracker was designed to compete with devices like Fitbit Inspire in terms of features and capabilities, reports Surrey Live.
The Galaxy Fit3 is said to be easy to read and use as it features a 1.6-inch AMOLED display, which allows for easy navigation, as well as an additional side button for extra control. The watch is also equipped with all your essential sensors to help monitor your heart rate, steps and calories burned throughout the day.
Along with an impressive 13-day battery life, the watch supports over 100 different activities. From swimming to dancing to running, users will be able to track any sport they like. The device also gets instant notifications, allowing users to check their messages, as well as having the ability to control music.
However, on the downside, the Galaxy Fit3 does not come with a built-in GPS chip, meaning users will always need to have their phone on them in order to get precise location tracking. However, it should be noted that it's not unusual for smart watches in this price range to be without a GPS.

Product Description
For those interested in the Fitbit, Amazon is selling the Google Fitbit Charge 6 for £139. Available in white, black or coral, the Fitbit is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, unlike the Fit3 which is catered towards Android users.
If shoppers are looking for something more budget friendly, Argos has slightly reduced the price of the HUAWEI Band 9 Smart Watch from £39.99 down to £34.99. With a typical battery life of up to nine days, this lightweight watch is perfect for swimming enthusiasts as it can identify all four strokes.
However for those interested in the Samsung Galaxy Fit3, it currently has 4.3 star rating on Amazon, with over 1,000 people purchasing the fitness tracker in the last 30 days.
One happy shopper said: "I bought the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 just a few days ago, and I genuinely haven't taken it off since. Sleek, lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable, this tracker has completely exceeded my expectations — especially at this price point."
While another added: "I bought this as my Garmin vivofit 4 had stopped working and wanted something to track my steps and thought the price was reasonable.
"I'm so pleased I got this as it does everything I need and more. It was easy to set up, it's comfortable and looks really good on. You can customise your screens and receive phone notifications on it too. I've found the battery lasts about a week too."
However, not everyone was as impressed, with one shopper grumbling: "This watch has some cool features like Spotify controls and you can read messages and see notifications like phone calls.
"In terms of fitness features, the watch didn't detect when I was working out even though I has the automatic detection setting on. I'd sometimes get notifications that my HR was high during resting...the watch really didn't know what I was doing."
Another shopper also wrote: "I like this watch but if you use it as a fitness tracker you're lucky to get 5 days out of a charge, I track one weight session and 2 1.5k walks a day and it's run out after 5 days and didn't give a warning of low power."
Despite these issues, another reviewer praised: "I had been using Fitbit for years but after the move with Google I wasn't impressed.
"My Fitbit charge 4 snapped at the plastic connecting to the strap so was no longer any use. I came across the Galaxy fit 3 and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. In my opinion it is far better than Fitbit."
With a further shopper saying: "I have brought so many smartwatches but this is the best. Lovely size screen, nice watch strap. It lies flush with your wrist, nice and lightweight to wear.
"All apps are easy to follow, great for your steps and sleep record. I bought this from used very good, cannot find anything wrong with it, no scratches or scuffs. Excellent buy."

Shark shoppers praise fan as 'the best ever' with almost flawless reviews
Shark shoppers praise fan as 'the best ever' with almost flawless reviews Shark's FlexBreeze fan has shoppers with many calling it the best fan they've ever bought The Shark FlexBreeze can be attached to a hosepipe to produce a cooling mist perfect for relaxing outside during heatwaves (Image: Narin Flanders ) Summer is almost around the corner and the Met Office has just announced that it expects the summer to be hotter and feature even more heatwaves. And for many Brits who struggle with the heat, a good quality fan might be an invaluable purchase - and this powerful Shark fan has been labelled as "the best ever" by shoppers. The Shark FlexBreeze High-Velocity 12 in 1 Fan is currently £170 on Amazon thanks to a deal which knocked the price down from £199.99. The fan comes with several configurations, including corded or cordless, tabletop or pedestal fan, indoors or outdoors, with or without a mister. There are five fan speeds, 180° oscillation, 55° tilt and a remote that helps shoppers stay cool. Read more: 'These Dr Martens sandals are my top summer purchase and they've got £42 off' Read more: Nutrition expert says mushroom coffee offers an energy boost 'without the crash' Shoppers can also feel the cooling breeze up to 20 metres away. For those who struggle to sleep at night due to the heat, ultra-quiet blades create gentle white noise, making it ideal for cooling their bedrooms and helping users sleep better. For anyone who does not want to spend quite as much Boots offers a Silentnight Home Electricals Airmax 1800 Stand Fan on sale for £40.50. It has a 4.4 star rating from shoppers and is 'easy to assemble'. The Shark FlexBreeze fan £199.99 £169.99 AMAZON GET DEAL Product Description Amazon has this Shark FlexBreeze fan for a cheaper price thanks to a payday sale. Perfect for the summer and the potential heatwaves that are on the horizon. Debenhams also offers a 40" Bladeless Tower Fan on offer for £119.99. It has a rating of 4.8 with 35 five star reviews and has been praised for being 'quiet'. The best thing about the Shark fan is that it has almost flawless reviews from almost 600 people on Amazon. One shopper who called it the "best fan ever" said they loved it. They added: "I have spent so much money on fans over the past few years, and none have even come close to how amazing this one is. It's the perfect size to move from desk to floor, and it's not a faff to do so. It's also brilliant for home working, as the first two settings are super quiet, and the third setting adds some noise; however, nothing louder than having your window open. "Even on the lowest setting, it gives a nice cooling breeze and really brings down the temperature in any room. The ultimate part is that it has a built-in rechargeable battery, which makes it the best one I have purchased. Brilliant for moving without the need for cables and it has a nice, solid weight to it." Another shopper added: "Expected no less from Shark Ninja. The fan is well designed, with a rather small footprint. The base is heavy enough to prevent wobbling, but light enough to be easily manoeuvred. Shark's FlexBreeze fan works indoors and out and can be run without a cable for up to 24 hours (Image: Shark ) "By looking at it, the Flexbreeze looks like a lightweight in the fan department, but turn it on and you're pleasantly surprised. Whisper quiet on settings one and two, with a mild hum all the way up to five. I couldn't sit in front of it on five for very long at all, felt like the inside of a wind tunnel." Article continues below However at a price of almost £200, some have complained about the price. One shopper added: "The remote is handy and the fact that it lifts away for a more portable fan is also handy. "It does what I need it to do, but still overpriced for what it is, as some of the smaller fans out there now are still quite strong at a fraction of the cost, hence the rating. Shark is a good brand, though, and this fan is solidly made, so I am hoping this will see me through many summers."

These five-star headphones look like Beats but are a fraction of the price
Shoppers can enjoy noise cancelling and a long battery life for just over £30 There's nothing quite like over-ear headphones when we want to shut the world out and enjoy our music. Big brands charge big bucks for the latest tech, but there are some top performing headphones for a fraction of the price – and they look just like Beats. The Soundcore Q20i headphones are great value for money, with premium features like noise-cancelling, convenient folding, support for Hi-Res music and great sound. Best of all, the normal £49.99 price has been slashed to £31.98 on Amazon. These headphones look like Beats Studio, but they are a fifth of the price. Priced at just over £30, this is the cheapest price that these headphones typically get to, but Amazon says this is a limited time offer, so shoppers will have to move fast to get the best price. Shoppers over on the Soundcore site have left nearly 700 five-star reviews for these headphones, while on Amazon, 77% of buyers give it top marks, with an overall review score of 4.6. Considering there are over 19,000 reviews, that's a lot of happy customers. Of course, premium brands still have something to offer and if shoppers are after something that sounds better and is higher quality, then the Bose QuietComfort SC is a great place to turn. Best of all, customers can snap up the Bose headphones nearly half price at the moment, costing £199.95 direct from Bose instead of £289.95, offering better build quality, better sound quality and better noise cancellation. Back to those affordable Soundcore Q20i headphones and there's 40 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation, or a massive 60 hours without. There's a transparency mode so the wearer can hear the world around them if they don't want all that noise blocked out. The sound comes from large 40mm drivers, with the support for Hi-Res music meaning better quality from sources like Apple Music or Amazon Music, allowing users to really get the best out of their music. The cable is needed for that top-quality performance, however, and when using the cable, noise cancellation isn't available, which is a drawback compared to some more expensive headphones, like the Sony 1000XM4. Buyers praise the value to money that they offer, with one saying 'Soundcore is a great competitor to Sony or JBL!' Other buyers talked about the great noise cancelling: 'The noise cancelling feature is probably the stand-out feature. At this price point, it really puts them up there with flagship devices.' Some shoppers, however, highlighted that the settings can be a bit fiddly. 'Sound is good but if you're cycling it seems to catch the wind wrong and it's all you can hear. Edit - change the noise cancelling settings and they're fine. User error' said one shopper, suggesting that wearers might pick the wrong mode by mistake. Customers says that these are comforable headphones with good padding on the earpieces, while they weigh 259g, which just a little heavier than those Bose headphones that I mentioned. They also come with a case so they can be packed flat when travelling. If customers are in the market for over-ear noise cancelling headphones for their daily commute or travels, then the Soundcore Q20i offer good value for money and a full range of features.
