Amazon shoppers can bag free earbuds by ditching Apple and Samsung watches

Amazon shoppers in the market for a new smartwatch can bag a pair of earbuds if they ditch Apple and Samsung models. The retail giant is currently offering the new Huawei Watch Fit 4 with a pair of FreeBuds SE 2 for £149.99 – a saving of £39.99.

A similar deal is available direct from Huawei, which will knock off an extra £20 with the coupon code AFIT420OFF, but does not include the free buds. The alternative to the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch ranges works with both iOS and Android devices, offering a much more cost-effective option than these premium brands.

The Apple Watch Series 10 and the Galaxy Watch7 would set Amazon customers back £329 and £294 respectively. The Huawei model comes in a choice of six colours including black, blue, green and silver, each boasting an ‘ultra-slim’ 9.5mm design and 1.8” AMOLED display.

It offers a variety of health and fitness tools, including tracking for different workouts, from mountain climbing and hiking, to skiing and trail running, plus monitoring of sleep, heart rate, steps and more. Other basic functions include Bluetooth calls and real-time notifications from texts and social media.

The Fit 4 has a powerful battery capable of running for up to 10 days, with a quick 10-minute charge providing a day of power, depending on usage. It can also be customised with countless watch faces, but it’s worth noting that the watch strap cannot be removed from the body and therefore can’t be changed.

Shoppers seeking a more premium option without hurting the wallet may want to opt for Sky Mobile’s smartwatch deals, where models like the Apple Watch SE and Samsung Galaxy Watch7 are available for £7 and £9 respectively. To get these prices means committing to a 36-month contract, but there’s no upfront cost with either watch.

The jury’s out on how the Huawei Watch Fit 4 compares to its rivals. As a new product, it has only received one review, but that user awarded it a perfect five-stars.

They said: “It’s packed with smart features and really impressed me more than I expected. The screen is so bright and clear, it really looks and feels premium. The design is sleek and minimal, it’s incredibly light and thin, and both the watch and the app are really easy to use.

“What truly sold me was the promised 10-day battery life. Coming from an Apple Watch, I didn’t think that was even possible, but the Huawei Fit 4 actually delivers on that. One of my favourite features [is] the warm-up guidance before workouts [which] walks me through stretches and prep so I don’t injure myself, which I’ve never had on a watch before.

“Plus, the support for up to 100 different workout modes is insane. I’m still exploring them all.”
