Tech fans can save £244 on the Apple Watch when they shop this refurbished deal
Monitoring daily step counts, fitness targets, or the crucial sleep score, there are countless extra advantages to sporting a smartwatch beyond the convenience of connecting to a mobile phone. That’s why brands such as Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, and Garmin have gained such popularity, though their costs can be deterring.
The latest Apple watch for example, the Series 10, debuted at £399, though a current Argos offer reduced the cost to £299. Its incredibly sleek design and cutting-edge OLED display are two premium features that some might argue warrant the expense, yet it remains a substantial outlay in one go.
This is why affordable tech is gaining momentum, and in the most recent offer, customers can secure a different Apple Watch for £155.

Wowcher has introduced the Series 7 model to its money-saving platform at a considerably reduced rate, purely because it is refurbished.
Back in 2021 this model debuted for hundreds more, though for those who don’t object to a few marks of usage the model costs much less. Customers can select between a 41mm or 45mm screen size and the conditions of their preferred pre-owned device.
Having reported on numerous Apple launches we understand it originally retailed for £399 for the GPS model – not the £419 Wowcher suggests. Regardless, that’s still a reduction of £244, as we reported for the Liverpool Echo.
Wowcher categorises the state of the models by grades B or C. The platform explains: “A few signs of wear-and-tear show that it’s clearly seen use, but overall it’s in good shape. There might be minor surface marks, but functionality is completely intact.”
The latest Apple Watch Series 10 (from 2024) operates on watchOS 11, and the Series 7 remains compatible with that system, despite being three years older. This means users will be able to receive updates and maintain their device as current as possible. Regarding features, the model includes everything we’d anticipate from an Apple wearable – there’s robust battery life, fitness monitoring, and intelligent notifications (provided you own an iPhone).

Despite being a few years old the smartwatch is still compatible with Apple’s latest software.
The model can also monitor blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and features ECG capability. All functions which are proving hit with customers, as reviews on a competing Amazon listing demonstrate – the Prime retailer is offering a refurbished Watch7 for £158.
One customer commented: “So far I love every aspect of the watch, the app is much better than some. I use the watch with Strava app as do running and workouts. I find the GPS, calorie, Heart monitor, and step count all good!”.
Another buyer remarked: “The ECG and oxygen reader has been a life saver too, it’s been great for piece of mind. The only reason it’s lost a star is because I can’t work out why the notifications are not so prominent anymore.”
Nevertheless, there are some drawbacks to the Wowcher offer our shopping team believes is worth highlighting. The first concerns the delivery cost. Despite being a £155 deal, customers will need to pay an additional £8.99 for postage. Another issue relates to the Wowcher voucher redemption process.
Wowcher operates by highlighting vouchers, which shoppers have a fortnight to claim after purchase. After completing the checkout process, customers receive an email containing a voucher code and instructions on how to redeem it.
