Samsung fans rush to snap up Galaxy Fit3 after major 31 per cent discount
The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 Smart Watch has been added to Amazon's sale
Smart watches are incredibly useful devices for tracking fitness objectives and monitoring health. Amazon is currently offering a 31% discount on the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 Smart Watch, reducing the price from £59 to just £41.
This chic grey watch features a large rectangular face that clearly displays various data such as date, time, step count, and heart rate.
The Samsung smart watch boasts up to 13 days of battery life from a single charge and can reach 65% in just 30 minutes. The device can track over 100 workouts, including running, cycling, and walking, and provides valuable insights into sleep patterns, oxygen levels, and more, reports the Express.
If desired, the watch can also receive notifications and messages.
For shoppers wanting to explore more smart watch options, Argos is currently offering the Garmin Forerunner 165 GPS Running Smart Watch on sale for £199.99, down from £249.99. This device is compatible with both iOS and Android phones and offers up to 11 days of battery life in smart watch mode and up to 19 hours in GPS mode.
Boots has the Fitbit Inspire 3 Health & Fitness Tracker at a reduced price of £68.99 (RRP £84.99). This smart watch can track stress, fitness and sleep, and provides up to 10 days of battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 Smart Watch is an Amazon's Choice product; a highly rated, well-priced item that's available for immediate shipping. To date, over 400 customers have reviewed the gadget, awarding it an overall rating of 4.3 out of five.
A thrilled customer remarked: "I bought this to replace my Garmin tracker. The watch face is a good size with a coloured screen. It is very easy to read, and that is coming from someone whose eyesight is increasingly poor (blame the old age).
"The watch was very easy to set up via the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app and is very easy to use. It has a number of different functions, far more than I will ever need to use, but useful nonetheless. The recording of the number of steps appears to be accurate and the vibrating alarm is very easy to set up and use."
They added further: "Another feature I like is the ability to change the watch face via the app so that it shows the most useful data according to the individual user. There are so many to choose from, I have not even bothered to count how many are available. Another useful feature is the magnetic charging cable, which attaches to the watch incredibly easily (unlike my previous watch).
"I don't know how long it takes to charge, as I have only had it a week and it is still on its first charge, so no complaints there. Overall, this was a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a tracker with an easy to read screen."
A shopper was left feeling rather miffed after realising the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 doesn't play nice with Apple products. They shared their frustration: "Bought this for my son's 8th birthday. Spent about 15 minutes trying to work out which Galaxy app I needed before realising that the watch is incompatible with Apple iOS iPhone, iPad etc. It requires a Samsung or Android device to pair and monitor, so it's useless to me."
On the flip side, another customer couldn't be happier with the smartwatch, stating: "Bought for my husband to replace an old Fitbit. Connects easily to a Samsung Galaxy phone, I love that you can change the clock face. Does way more than he needs. Looks good, well made, the strap fits well. Appears to be very accurate with tracking steps. Lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, you can sync with phone and have notifications on or off."

‘Ayahuasca tourism' is a blight on Indigenous peoples and our environment
In the world of the Ecuadorian Amazon, humans, plants and animals are relatives, and ancient stories reflect real ecological relationships and Indigenous knowledge rooted in profound connections to the land. But one of those connections – ceremonial medicine known as hayakwaska – is now marketed as a mystical shortcut to healing and enlightenment. Behind the scenes of these 'healing retreats' lies a deeper story of cultural erasure, linguistic distortion and ongoing colonisation masked as wellness. The global popularity of 'ayahuasca' has given rise to a new form of spiritual tourism that romanticises and distorts Indigenous cultures. This growing industry fuels the exoticisation of Indigenous peoples, turning our languages, practices and identities into consumable fantasies for outsiders. Sacred rituals are stripped of context, spiritual roles are commercialised, and even the names of the plants are misused, reducing complex cultural systems into simplified, marketable experiences. Aya means the soul of a dead person, skeleton, or corpse. The term ayahuasca is a modern invention, largely used in spiritual tourism. In our language, we say 'hayakata upina' when referring to drinking hayakwaska. Hayak is a short form of hayakwaska and directly means bitter, so the translation means drinking the 'bitter vine'. In contrast, 'ayata upina' would mean 'to drink the soul of a dead person', which no one would say. For this reason, I will use the correct term: hayakwaska. Even the name of the medicine has been distorted. To understand it properly, one must understand our society, its structure, language and deep ties to the land. Unlike English or Spanish, Indigenous languages such as our Runashimi (Kichwa) are rooted in place. Like modern science, our knowledge is based on observation, but through relationships. We live through a social-emotional relationship with the land. In the rainforest, all beings, including humans and the more-than-human world, have roles and responsibilities. Although our yachaks (traditional healers) may treat individuals, their true role is to maintain balance within the community and among relationships between people, forests and all beings. Healing, in our worldview, is collective because we are all interconnected. When yachaks focus only on 'ayahuasca' tourism for profit, abandoning this sacred responsibility, we must ask: what have they become? Tourist-oriented healing centres often prioritise individual experiences, personal growth, ego work and private revelations, detached from community, land and reciprocity. When healing is stripped of its collective foundation, it no longer nourishes true awakening. Instead, it risks becoming a performance that elevates the self, not the whole, opposing the very essence of Indigenous healing, which is rooted in relationship, humility and shared wellbeing. It is not just sad, it is dangerous. When spiritual practices are altered to please outsiders, it shifts the very meaning of hayak and the relationship we have with it. These changes reshape how younger generations understand our traditions, not through lived experience or guidance from elders, but through performances tailored for tourism. What was once sacred, genuine and real becomes scripted. The danger lies not only in losing the essence of our ceremonies but in distorting our collective memory, values and roles. When healing becomes entertainment, and culture becomes spectacle, the spiritual thread that holds our community together begins to fray. Hayakwaska tourism is also a driver of illegal hunting practices. Traditional hunting is rooted in respect and reciprocity, but today commercial demand for animal parts threatens both species and Indigenous ways of life, and this growing tourism industry not only distorts culture but also fuels threats to biodiversity. Recent research highlights how jaguars, already a near threatened species, are being exploited to meet tourist demand. Items such as jaguar-tooth pendants and skin bracelets are sold as mystical enhancers of the ayahuasca experience, endangering both wildlife and sacred balance. Using Indigenous knowledge and medicine carries deep social and environmental responsibility. Without that responsibility, it becomes nothing more than extractivism, another form of colonialism dressed in spiritual language. The real question is: How are 'ayahuasca tourists' giving back? Are they supporting Indigenous rights, protecting ancestral lands, and standing with the people who safeguard this wisdom, often at great personal risk? Too many seek healing from Indigenous medicines while ignoring the lived realities of those who protect the plants, the knowledge, and the territories they come from. These communities continue their struggle amid threats from mining, oil extraction and agribusiness. If there is to be any true healing, it must include justice, reciprocity and solidarity with the people and the land from which this medicine grows. Inspired by their stories and our experiences, I, Nina, created Waska: The Forest is My Family. The film explores the exploitation of Indigenous peoples and the forest. As the granddaughter of a yachak, I wanted to share what it means to live connected to hayakwaska and the land. Nina Gualinga and Eli Virkina are both Indigenous women of the Ecuadorian Amazon, storytellers and land defenders

Waska: the cost of spiritual healing in the Amazon
The plant medicine hayakwaska (ayahuasca), marketed as a mystical shortcut to healing and enlightenment, is an example of what the Indigenous storyteller Nina Gualinga, sees as commodification and extractivism in the Amazon. Nina is from the Kichwa people of Sarayaku, Ecuador, and she speaks with the memory of her shaman grandfather about the ongoing cultural appropriation, environmental destruction and marginalisation of her people, questioning our very relationship to the Earth and the quest for healing

Samsung shoppers can get £100 and freebies worth £240 this week
Samsung will give away £100 cashback and free Galaxy smartwatches or earbuds to Brits shopping its Galaxy S24 range, but the deal is now in it's final week Samsung has kicked off the summer with another giveaway where shoppers can get their hands on £100 and a selection of freebies. The tech giant is offering the deal to those picking up a new smartphone in the Galaxy S24 range direct from Samsung or through Sky Mobile. However, the deal has entered the final week before it expires on Tuesday, June 24. Shoppers looking to spread the cost of a new phone can get the Samsung Galaxy S24 on Sky's £25 plan, after which they can claim £100 cashback. The plan runs for 36 months with the option to upgrade after 24, but the £100 essentially covers four months of service. To get the £100 cashback, shoppers can head to the Samsung offers website after receiving their new device to submit a claim within 30 days of purchase. However, those who would prefer to buy the phone outright can get a sweeter deal, with Samsung offering £100 cashback plus a free Galaxy Watch7 worth £239 when buying direct. Samsung lists the Galaxy 24 for £699, matching the price offered by Amazon and Very. Shoppers looking to keep costs down can claim £100 with orders of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which also comes with a free pair of Galaxy Buds3 worth £159. This model is designed as a more budget-friendly version of the standard S24, but it has the same 6.7' screen as the larger S24+ model and 128GB of storage. The S24 FE is slightly cheaper than the standard S24, with Sky Mobile offering it for £23 when spreading the cost. Samsung has priced the same model at £649 and will throw in a free Galaxy Watch7 to those buying directly. Despite its cheaper price, the Galaxy S24 FE boasts the same 4.5-star review score as the standard S24. However, according to the Samsung website, 90% of reviewers recommend the S24 FE compared to 74% for the S24. Of the FE, one five-star review says: 'Everything about this device is flawless. Smooth and vibrant screen. Fabulous camera. "Connects fast and performs like a speedy tank. The battery could be better, but other than that. Flawless phone." Another says: 'I love my new phone it charges really quickly and lasts all day. I love the display – I can see every icon and they are easy to find. The camera is fantastic and I love the design of the phone. The performance is amazing, everything is quicker, it's the best phone I've had.' Some users have been disappointed with the S24 FE 's battery life, as this three-star review says: 'I like this phone, however, it does require frequent charging and takes far too long to charge at three hours.' But another five-star review says: 'Excellent all-round phone. Really clear, bright display with excellent battery life. "The camera is clear and provides quality photos and video. The overall performance and modern internals mean that you don't suffer from any issues, no matter what you are trying to do. All wrapped up in a sleek design makes the Samsung S24 FE a worthy choice for anyone.'
