Due to the constant advances in the tech world, more people have started to choose a smartwatch over a traditional timepiece. While they may not boast the glitz and glamour of a normal watch, these handy devices are useful for tracking your health and wellbeing.
With their rise in demand, there are a variety of models on the market to meet different needs. While many well-known brands have given their smartwatches hefty price tags, there are more than a few budget-friendly gadgets available for savvy shoppers.
One of which is the Reflex Active Black Smart Watch on Argos. Normally retailing for £24.99, bargain hunters can now snap it up for only £20.99 in the sale. However, we have a money saving hack that can drop this price to around £5.

One delighted shopper gushed: "I love this watch. It’s perfect for work for counting my steps and being able to quickly glance at what messages I receive."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "I only wanted something to count my daily steps, but being able to take and make phone calls, see the weather and set alarms and more were all very nice bonuses! Also been swimming in the pool with it on and it still works perfectly fine."
Best tech deals to shop
However, not everyone was pleased with the watch, as one person wrote: "Great step counter but not sure how accurate it measures. Relies on phone app a lot and doesn’t hold a lot of information. Spend a lot more if you want an up to date version."
While another shopper added: "Does what it says, however it does sometimes feel a bit fiddly. But for the price it's great."
On the flip side, a top reviewer praised: "This watch is really good. The battery life is tremendous, I got three and a half days before I had to charge it and I work full time! It's waterproof, so ideal for swimming as it tracks all of your activity and has other features."
While a sixth customer commented: "The battery has been lasting for between four to five days which is good. For a casual user, it’s a great pick at a fair price. Not a high-end rival, but it doesn’t pretend to be. I’d recommend it for everyday basics with a modern edge."
