Shoppers said they were ‘not disappointed’ by this affordable piece of tech that ‘looks stylish’
Amazon shoppers have been praising a smartwatch that was discounted to almost half its usual price during a sale. People loved that it’s a great tool to help “improve your health and lifestyle” and offers a “tough” design.
The Blackview Military Smart Watch would cost £49.99, but it has been discounted to just over £25. The “rugged” piece of tech claims to get a full charge within 2.5 hours, which “can last up to 20-30 days in standby and up to 5 days in normal use.”
The “robust fitness watch” offers all you’d expect from a smart device for a fraction of the price of leading models like Apple and FitBit, like call, text and social media notifications. The watch comes with two “comfortable and skin-friendly wristbands” including a silicone and a nylon option.

For the fitness fanatics, the waterproof watch offers a range of “real-time health monitoring functions” to make training and tracking progress effortless. With more than 100 different programmes, the watch can help “meet your different sports needs”, Amazon adds.
There are similar devices on the market for people wanting an affordable way into the smartwatch world without spending hundreds of pounds. For example, Sports Direct is offering this Karrimor Smart Watch (£19.99, down from £49.99) and the Reflex Active Series 23 Smart Watch from Currys (£39.99), but hundreds preferred this Amazon deal – and the 2,440 five-star reviews speak for themselves.
One said: “I wanted an inexpensive Smart Watch and, after a fair bit of deliberating on Amazon, I chose the Blackview watch and I was not disappointed. It looks and feels more expensive than the modest price tag, does everything I need it to do and usually lasts at least a week on a full charge.”
Another added: “Absolutely amazing watch! It does everything it says on the tin, best part and my favourite part is the battery life. I charged it nine days ago and at the time of writing this I still have 37 % battery left, whereas my wife’s brand new Apple Watch needs charging every other day.”
But, some were unhappy with their purchase though. One claimed: “The step count is out by not 100s of steps but thousands. Atrocious. Please spend a few extra pounds and get a decent one!”
Another suggested: “It makes no sound whatsoever for notifications and the vibration is so light it is barely noticeable. Watch is that price for a reason.” And, one more put in their review: “A decent watch for the 38 days it worked, currently sat on my wrist randomly vibrating and choosing as and when to show me the display. Not happy!”
Despite this, other continued to praise the watch. One person wrote: “Fantastic for the price. People think it is expensive, but when I tell them the actual price, they are gobsmacked.” Someone else put in their review: “It is so stylish and nice watch. I like it and always like to look how stylish I am wearing it. The battery backup is fantastic as it run for months. The features provided are excellent. Really good one.”
