Yes

How can you advise if you dont have one, my apple watch is nothing like an iphone or ipad an if your into sport there bloomin brilliant. I except they may not be everybodys cup of tea!

I would say no, go for cheaper alternative. Not against apple - I have iPhone and iPad. I just can't see them being worth the money.

You get into the habit very quickly of charging your watch with your phone every night. It's not a hindrance to do so. It becomes part of ones daily or nightly ritual.

My son has an iPhone and I was thinking about getting him one of these. Are they worth the money?

Yes

I would say no, go for cheaper alternative. Not against apple - I have iPhone and iPad. I just can't see them being worth the money.

Biggest gimmick going and if we were talking about £40 I might say yes but at this price there is so little about them that matches the price being asked.

20% off using code KPAJM is a better live deal.

I think you'll only get 10% off with KPAJM, plus it's only for new customers.

Worked for me @ 20%, £399 to £323, due to shipping but I set up a new account so that may be it as stated by Bird68

it has to be via a new credit agreement account though doesnt it? u cant just pay up front via a card?

Oh, it is 20. I thought it would come under electricals. Been on the lookout for something to buy as they're closing my account in a couple of months because I haven't used it. I can't add BNPL though, I'm wondering if that's because it's a new account.

I've never used very until just now so had to set up an account and bnpl as was looking to get the £50 credit as above but the code popped up at the bottom of the page so used that in case I got lucky and got both deals, lol

I used to think this too, now I never take it off! My 2 fave features is getting and replying to all messages, no matter where I am or whose in the room (not as obvious as using phone) and using it at gym with bt headphones

I bought the pebble last Christmas that was the biggest waste of money. Would recommend spending extra to get better quality.

Can't get my head around why anyone would want a watch you have to charge. I just want a watch that tells the time, if I need to make calls or send text messages I use my phone. I don't want to look at my watch and realise I forgot to charge it so very shortly it is going to be dead and not tell me what the time is.

You get into the habit very quickly of charging your watch with your phone every night. It's not a hindrance to do so. It becomes part of ones daily or nightly ritual.

I used to think the same until i got one, wouldnt be without it now

Nice one silverfoxxxx. 20% off for new customers. Just ordered and it says it will be here tomorrow. And 2.2% cashback and coins on Quidco.
And yes, I paid on card - you have to agree to the credit terms on registering, but just don't use it at checkout.

So. Erm. Quidco is a bit weird. New customers at VERY get 12% cashback. Electrical goods are only 2.2%. Just checked and Quidco has actually tracked £39 (and odd pence). SO.....that is £280 for a normally £400 Apple Watch. In stock. Next day delivery. Definitely hot!

Shame they don't have the series 2 space grey in 42mm - heat though

Can the £50 be cashed out to a debit/credit card or it is like a voucher to use for future purchases at very?

Damn I got 20% off and 12.2% off using Quidco
My only regret was not to add an OLED to the first order :-/

That's only for new accounts.

No.

They do - I paid with paypal this morning.

And I would recommend the opposite: horses for courses, and all that. Of course, this is a moot point now that Pebble isn't an option.
EDIT: just to be clear, I'm not disagreeing with spending extra to get better quality; I'm saying that a Pebble would be much preferable for me. That said, now that I can't have my Pebble Time 2, this offer is looking quite appealing!

20% off All clothing, Footwear, Home & Funiture, Gifts, jewellery, Beauty and toys.
10% off all electrical.

Cheers, wasn't there this morning, only the 38mm - cancelled orders perhaps, or restocked :smiley:

Spending the day at a water park, iPhones in the locker, but connect the Apple Watch to WiFi and nothing to worry about. Jogging round the streets, phone starts ringing, fiddling to get it out my pocket, not any more, just look at my watch. Sitting on the toilet hear my phone ringing in the bedroom, no worries, just look at my watch to see who it is and tell them "I'm struggling.............to talk right now". Riding my bike, phone rings, instead of my foot slipping off the pedal hitting the front wheel while I'm trying to get my phone out my pocket and ending up in the hospital, I just look at my watch.

If your going to get a smart watch getting one thats not compatible with your other devices would be insane..Your son wouldn't be impressed! I don't have one but my friends I know with an Apple watch love it.

Just after I bought mine from curry's :disappointed: I think it is worth its price though.

I go to a water park maybe once a year, when I do I am on holiday, phone is switched off and I wouldn't answer it if it wasn't.

Cycling I use Cycle Meter and Strava on my phone so it is on anyway and again, I would not interrupt my ride to take a call.

If you must answer a call while on the loo take your phone in with you.

I guess some people can't live without their phones, I can. Mine is switched off in the evening, at dinner time and while out socialising.

Not worth it seriously.

I bought the Stainless Steel version and after 2-3 months I've returned it. Also bought my wife the normal Sports one and after 1 month she's stop using it.

It's just not as useful as you think.

You originally said "Can't get my head around why anyone would want a watch you have to charge." You have just answered it with that comment, so you knew why all along then?

It has power saving mode that just shows the time when battery is low

Oh no! Such a good offer!! Going to have to buy one! Ha! :laughing:

Get on the phone to them! They did that to me twice with the cheap PS4s. Said I had to go through security as it was a new account and hey presto, out of stock!

So are people taking this on the 39.9% APR finance to get this deal?

Do you post this thinking a flamedeer would automatically appear?

If he likes tech toys, then yes.
I have had my watch for less than a month & wear it everyday.
I have never worn a watch before, however I find the integration with the iPhone is brilliant.
I like how can read & reply to messages, answer my phone & talk (on loud speaker) all through my watch.
So many things you can do with the watch at ease. Even control the camera function on your phone.
flight boarding passes - all accessible through my watch.
Even the translate app allows one party to speak to your phone & the other to your watch. This then translate the language for you (obvs. need to trust the other person dont run off with your phone!)
I also have Hue light bulbs & can control the lights before & after I leave a room - anyone who lives in an old house know how inconvenient switches can be placed!)

Go for the large watch (there are 2 sizes) as it has better battery life.
I charge my watch overnight once-twice a week & put in on charge each morning while getting ready.

Im sure Dick Tracy would upgrade to one if he had the chance

not worth the money, I love apple but the battery life on the watch is terrible

My battery lasts 2 days and my email and WhatsApp are constantly pinging! I don't know why people that haven't found a use for it dismiss it so easily! It makes no sense that you assume everyone is like you

No you only pay the APR if you don't pay the item off in the selected buy now pay later time period.

Well yeah, but not really;

12 Months interest free
6 Months interest free
3 months interest free

So yeah, I'm sure 100% of people are buying and pay back within the period options. Only a absolute fool would delay it past the interest free time..

Fingers crossed they pay out because im still waiting for my 10% from the 21st November on the iphone deal even though ive live chatted and called them a 100 times. My next call is to watchdog

So just to confirm, if I pay the full amount off immediately e.g. tomorrow, I will not incur any charges/fees? (I haven't used BNPL before!)

Correct.

No.
you will choose "buy now pay later" at checkout so you can get the £50 credited back to your account in February.
once you receive the £50 credited back, then you can choose to pay-off the remaining balance at once, or pay in instalments during the interest free period of 12 months.you won't be charged ANY interest either way.

And is it safe to use the 20% code too?

also £10 quidco cashback this weekend.

normally you can't use any other promotions/discount code with these credit back offers from Very.the problem is you will need to wait 1-2 months before the discount is applied to your account and if you use another discount code, the system might reject your £50 credit back at that time.
better read the t&c carefully.

Thanks, just tried didn't work anywho..

Unless you plan to use them in the future, it makes more sense to pay all but £50 of the balance, which will then be taken care of by the cash back.

Had a whinge about mine last week. 10% did appear in my account 3 days later.

Went for it with the 20% first order offer and done the buy now pay later option (worth a shot)
Quidco only tracked 1% so far so let's see if it changes once confirmed + the £10 quidco cashback this weekend as mentioned above makes it an interesting deal. Thanks

If all goes to plan I should get this from £399 to £223. Wow

how?

Damn. Looked earlier and wasn't sure. Now see only 42mm in white band which i dont want. I'd prefer space grey.

£399 + £3.99 delivery = £403
20% off = £323
£50 credit = £273
Quidco (£39.89 already tracked)+ £10 bonus = £223 give or take some pence

IF it all works out that is....

Nice, good luck.

So tempted by this (42mm series 1) just can't convince myself. If it had gps and I could use it to track sports I'd be all over it.

That's series 2, but white band only which I'm happy with for that price

I do like these and I think the Apple watch is a good execution of the idea, the only thing that stops me is the fact that these are headed for landfill, when the tech leaves them behind and the battery won't charge anymore.

At least with an iPhone I can swap a battery for a new one in 10 minutes for about £7. (although the 7 with its waterproofing gaskets will be a bit trickier).

Do they have the Nike plus version can't see it on the very website?

Bought the £299 series one. MRS One is getting it me for Xmas. Not arsed about GPS or 50 Meyer depths. Will probably only use it for

Lol! You could just sell it after a couple of years. That's the thing with apple products, they hold their value quite well. You could flog this in 12 months and you wouldn't lose much. I've never heard of anyone replacing the battery in their iPhone (Unless second hand).

Very succk

Sound's like you are never of your phone... is ironic that hardly anyone wears a watch now as they have their phone for telling the time, but now they are going back to watches because they are doing everything a phone does pretty much now.... I can't really make sense of it to be honest.

I would agree with you, however I think activity monitors are putting devices back on peoples wrists.
Hence the reason for me getting one after wearing a fitbit for a year.
Its a great extension of the iphone to anyone who uses their phone for a lot more things that making phone calls!

Anyone use the 20% off and track in Quidco? Getting worried that it's not going to track now because of the code being used.

Doesn't Quidco specifically say that it won't track if you use any codes?

wonder if you can JB these!

update the software. Mine was pretty bad until the upgrade but now lasts 2 days.
Also, turn off notifications you dont need, and change some of the settings like "reduce motion"

Just ordered one unfortunately had to go for the more expensive Watch 2 stainless steel version, but with 20% off jewellery and the quidco 12% + an extra £10 today seemed a bargain. If I get the £50 cash back in the very account which I don't see why not then it pretty much comes down to the price of the aluminium case version. Thanks OP just must make sure I pay it off before I get robbed with the 39% APR!!

It is still works kpajm promotion code?

Yup. £323 paid to VERY and almost instantly tracked £40 in Quidco account. That was yesterday morning. Royal Mail say it is out for delivery today!

Hmm, my Very order says being processed and expected Tuesday. Maybe that's why. I'll have to wait and see.

My order is stuck on "order being processed, delivery by Tuesday 13 December" with no order confirmation email. Anyone know how long it should take to confirm?

Mine says the same.

I'd say no.

My husband has one and it's brilliant for him - he does a lot with Apple IT for a living, and uses it to keep in touch with colleagues, check when emails etc rec'd, and for contactless payment. - he is super careful with tech so takes care of it. He previously had a Pebble (a watch) which he liked but I see him using the Apple watch more.
Hope that helps a little bit not make it harder to decide!

Charge it by the bed when you sleep - it's also your night clock and alarm - easy to find in the morning.

Same happened to me - I phoned them and they confirmed everything and processed the order (& email duly arrived). I think there is just a delay with the credit application side of things...

Just confirmed with one of the online advisers and someone over the phone, the codes and £50 credit cannot be stacked, it's either one or the other. If you've used the code you won't receive the credit come February. :disappointed:

Wish I'd know I got my Apple Watch from apple grr

You win some you lose some. I went into it presuming that would be the case. I'd be happy if the cashback would track for now.

Cheers.

Need some assistance as i never had a very account before. Can i pay it off from the start or do i need to pay in monthly payments? All i would want probably is the 20% off and if the 12% quidco works that would be a bonus. thanks

It will track and then get declined. Very don't offer Cashback on Apple products. It's in the fineprint

Can i get 10% off?

Not entirely sure if that is correct.

Just had a good read on Quidco and the fineprint says

"Cashback will not be paid on iPhone purchases"

So looks like applewatch is eligible.

Doesn't it also say something about not using a code? I'm pretty sure it will get turned down. I hope not, but I doubt it.

Edit: yeah, just below the iPhone bit: "Cashback will not be paid when a voucher code has been used"

Shame no series 2 42mm space grey for £399 as with the £50 credit it makes it same price as buying from states , would have been all over that one

Don't trust VERY,
they never honour their 'credit' deals

Would someone mind keeping me right here? I have never used Very and don't have a quidco account. Do I set up quidco first, then follow a link from there to set up a very account and then order the watch putting in the 20% off code?

I am frightened it might not track if I do things in the wrong order as seems to have happened on the past with Top Cash Back.

Thank you to the OP as I have been waiting for a deal on one of these.

Topcashback states they don't pay cash back on apple :disappointed:

They've honoured mine in the past.

Yeah they do

Well I think I screwed it up! I set up my Quidco account or at least I thought I had and then clicked through to Very and completed the purchase. That part worked fine and I received the 20% discount. Meanwhile the tab on the Quidco page was showing as clicking on the Very link as acknowledged. After completing the purchase I went back to look at my Quidco account only to discover that I still had steps to take to confirm what type of account I wanted with them i.e. pay £5 etc.

Now unsure if it really will track. Never mind it was still worth the 20% discount.

Just been onto eBay to order a couple of alternative straps.

UPDATE: Quidco is showing as £29.90 tracking which is nice - as others have mentioned that may yet get pulled but is definitely worth a shot

How can i get 20% percent?
I wana buy a macbook pro:)

I've set up a new account and entered KPAJM at the checkout but says code is invalid ... what am I doing wrong ??

You need to purchase it as a credit purchase not a 'cash' purchase

I suppose it all depends on why the person buying the device decides to get it.

For me the intention was never to replace a watch, although the watch function is certainly useful.

I attend lots of meetings each day, mix of phone any physical based and also travel a lot for work.

So the ability to have my meetings and urgent notifications on my wrist is actually very useful.

I also use the map functionality, Apple Pay for the Tube and much more besides.

Now I could accomplish all of that with my iPhone. But it's frequently easier when, for example, standing in a crammed train, to look at the Watch and immediately decide if the notification requires a response.

There are many different usage models that people will have, the above is just why it fits for me.

Way too expensive for what you get, do you people want a fitness tracker or a watch? Either way for anything serious you wouldn't buy this lmao. If you want a "smart watch" to get notifications and look cool with a foxconn watch on your wrist then its still a waste of nearly £300 .

Wrong. I bought an iPad in September. 10% credited back with no problem at all.

Just a heads up in case anyone else in in the same situation, if you don't get a confirmation email, don't just wait for it: call them up on 0344 811 1218 (don't bother with online chat support - they just gave me that number after quite a long time).

Rant time:
I purchased on Friday afternoon and delivery was down for tomorrow, but I just called up as I never got a confirmation and my order was showing as processing in my account. They did some security checks and said everything was sorted, but then my delivery date changed to Wednesday. I then had to call up again to ask them to deliver to work, and they couldn't change anything! So now I'm going to have to go collect it from the Royal Mail delivery office on Thursday.

Ah well, delayed gratification will likely be the most enjoyable part given that I'm not particularly excited about owning an Apple Watch and I'm still dead inside from the loss of Pebble.

Fingers crossed (hope against hope) that the £70 Quidco pays out, or this will be even more ridiculously expensive than I had prepared for.

Only just seen this - did they give a reason why they weren't being automatically processed?

Looks like stainless steel case 42mm series 2's only, £599+ before discount

That's what I went for. £440 after discount & quidco.

Mine has just been put back to 14th January from today's original delivery date. Fuming!

The 42mm series 2 sport models came back in stock. Used the 20% new customer promo code which works out better than the £50 credit offer. Quidco tracked at just over £26 so fingers crossed for that. Maybe even call them up in Feb and ask for the £50 credit. Thanks to the OP. This deal is HOT for those who want the Watch. Never seen any discounts on the Series 2 before! <3

Cold cos very will mess you up with £50 credit

Flying to States is free?

Here's another report: I ordered the Rose S1 at around noon on Saturday 10th with the 20% off, the order confirmation email arrived on Monday 12th, and the watch arrived in the post today (Tuesday 13th). I didn't contact customer service at all.

Thoroughly pleased with this deal. Surprised they're actually giving £50+ discounts on in-demand Apple gear. If the Quidco pays out too then this deal crosses the line into unbelievable territory!

How is it cold at all? I got 20% off which was just under £80. I have never seen a discount of that much. Let alone the possibility of a further £50 and then Quidco at £26.

I received mine today. Normal price £600. Discount of £120 using code and also £60 cash back tracked on Quidco. If I get £50 off for taking out buy now pay later this is deal of the decade. I have been looking for a deal coming up and this is by far and away the best.

Same here. Appalling

Same for me, but an hour ago or so I had a Dispatch email with RM Special delivery tracking number.

When I ordered, the product was in stock and I also got an email that it would be delivered by 13th December. When I spoke to customer service, they gave me two 'options' - either wait until14th of Jan or cancel the order.

I was given a tracking number but then the order page now says 14th January. The tracking number means nothing, it's just linked to the order and is pre-allocated. So annoyed about this. I did manage to get confirmation that if you used the 20% off they would not honour the £50 credit offer as well and they said cash back does not apply. Makes me feel a slight bit better.

They did say these come direct from Apple. This would make sense as Apple is out of stock and delivering early January. So it's either wait till early January and save 20% or cancel and take the hit.

So **** off!

Received mine today, great deal :laughing:

Mine arrived safely on Wednesday. The order did seem to sit pending for a couple of days though.

Hi there

I jumped on this deal purchased an iwatch I also set up a new credit account as part of the process and paid nothing at the time. I believe I selected buy now and pay later option in the hope I get the £50 cash back, but I just checked the account now and I only get the pay in 3 amounts option not 6 months interest free. Is this correct as I am sure it said 6 months interest free option when I placed the order.

Does anyone know if you pay in 3 amounts you are still eligible for the hopeful £50 cash back in Feb or must it be the 6 months interest free option as I can't find the term and conditions anymore on their site??

Thanks

no you wont get it , ive just spent ages on the phone with them ....they can change it over bnpl but said i wouldnt get £50 as needed to be at point of order i argued that i had , and they have made a note of their error but time will tell if i get it but i doubt it.

Hi shymanuk

Following your advice I rang up and put it on BNPL as might as well have 12 months to pay it off, although I was sure I had chosen this option having set up a credit agreement. However it may of gone wrong when I phoned up after placing the order online as it was stuck on holld and they had to put the order through manually. I can only assume that when this happened it may of changed. The man from Very was quite helpful and put a note regarding the £50 cash back but like you said I think I have no chance of seeing that still they probably wouldn't of paid out either way due to the use of a code. If you look at it that if you don't get the £50 cash back from Very or Quidco cash back, 20 % off Apple products especially their new second gen iWatch is unheard of. Apple's Black Friday deal was messily iTunes vouchers which lets face it doesn't cost them the face value possibly no where near. I can only hope the gods of cash back are looking down on me favourably and it's good will to all men season and that.

Thanks for your advice

yes I had a email stating they had put mine on bnpl, but not untitled to £50 credit as not taken out on bnpl in first place, talk about going round in circles with them ....just glad I got 20% off as first order.

Series 2 Space Grey 38mm back in stock.

Obviously if you only want a watch to tell the time then a watch like this isn't really for you. Others want a watch to do more.

Has peoples quidco been tracking at 11%?
Mine has only tracked at 1%

How did you get so much on quidco, mine only tracked at 2.2%?

Mine hasn't tracked at all, I'll swap for your 1%.

no option for buy now pay later, I placed the order thinking would be able to apply the offer after it - no joy.
Chat couldn't help.

On the phone they said buy now pay later isn't available to me, no reason given why. Couldn't cancel the order as it's processed at the suppliers. Demanded to refund postage - they did at least that. Now I will have to refuse the delivery of the item that I want, but will not be having because I didn't qualify for the offer with no reason given. Existing account owner, my account was never in arrears and never missed a payment.

veryannoying.co.uk will be closing my account with this joke of a place!

How come you paid £600 the most expensive one is £399?

Apple Watch Series 2, 42mm Space Grey Aluminium Case With Black Sport Band

Back in Stock!!!

no bnpl option for me and 20% code says invalid...?

Welcome to the club. Same story. The 20% code is for new customers only and I also don't get BNPL...

Same problem. We have webchat in which Very state credit will be applied automatically. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Money claim online if they don't pay up. Seriously wonder if Very are deliberately cheating customers through the way their so called customer services operate. Spent thirty minutes on phone to CS where staff put phone on desk to check things out and were laughing shouting and sounded like party going on in office. No result at end of it other than vague promise that we should check statement next month.

I had to create a new account to get the 20% off. Went through quidco when creating so that tracked at around £32. So looking at about £286 for a series 2 42mm!

I can't see the black S2 38mm, anyone have a link?

Space black stainless steel 42mm.

Series 2, 42mm space grey aluminium case with black sport band, ordered weds @ 10pm arrived fri @ 9am, £399 less 20% and Quidco tracked at £36.52. Definitely hot !

mine got delivered to the wrong mailing centre, so gotta get it next Weds instead of this Friday... bunch of idiots in Royal Mail!

Don't they use Yodel to deliver?
