Apple fans rush for £299 Watch that's been cut to £99 in major price drop

Apple Watch fans have been clamouring for a new deal on Wowcher, which sees a previously expensive device drop to just £99 in a new deal.

The Apple Watch Series 5 is one of the company's older watches in its lineup - but still holds up as a fitness smartwatch today, and now it's even cheaper on Wowcher.

The Series 5 launched in 2019 and comes with a Retina Display that constantly shows shoppers exactly what time of day or night it is, as well as messages and calls.The device also features SOS, crash detection, and a compass.

It comes with a charger, and for swimmers,it is swim-proof up to 50 meters - perfect for all your swimming goals and adventures. One thing to note is that it is a watch from 2019, so it could start showing its age.

The watch does come with the older S5 chip, and despite it holding up, shoppers may not be able to get all the apps and features they would find on a newer Apple Watch.

Nevertheless, this Apple Watch will work just fine for those wanting to track their fitness and keep an eye on their phone notifications.

Meanwhile, those wanting some alternatives can find some great deals. Android fans can pick up the stellarGalaxy Watch Ultra for £399 on Argosthanks to a new deal. It's Samsung's best watch on the market, and it's one of the cheapest prices around.

For Apple fans, BackMarket is offering the Apple Watch Ultra for £389 - cheaper than the Galaxy Watch Ultra, despite being refurbished - and it even comes with a 12-month warranty.

Tech editor Dave Snelling said: "There's no question the Series 5 is the best Apple Watch that's ever been made. The new always-on display makes this feel like the device we've always desired, and the in-built compass is a nice added extra.

"Like its predecessors, it packs a swathe of fitness and health tracking features, plus there's an option to have a fully connected cellular model, which means you can leave your phone at home without fear of missing a message or call. This is the most complete wearable on the market and Apple's rivals have a huge amount of catching up to do."

However, he did have problems - specifically with the battery life. He added: "However, for all of its greatness, we do have some niggles with the Series 5. Not least the battery life and the fact that it doesn't look any different from the Series 4."
