Shopper reviews and how to get the deal
Shoppers who already bought the Reflex Active Nexus Lite Smart Watch praised it. One customer wrote: "Packaged beautifully, this is a very exciting piece of technology. Many functions, though Im most excited about counting my steps. Easy to maintain, and very comfortable to wear. Its actually very inexpensive too, absolutely amazing product I have used every single day."
Another added: "Honestly, I really liked this smartwatch! I've been testing it over the past few days, and one thing that really surprised me was how long the battery lasted. I also found it really easy to use, which made me like it even more. Plus, it has so many features that I find really useful in my everyday life. I will definitely continue to use it and buy for future gifts!!"
A third said: "Great affordable alternative to an Apple Watch! Gorgeous colour strap, really flexible, soft and comfortable. Watch face is super clear and clean. Lots of different apps for health based items. Love that you can upload your own screen saver."
However, one less pleased customer wrote: "The watch is okay but if you are buying it to track steps dont bother, says I have walked 5000 steps when my phone shows 8000. Tried linking to phone through Samsung health but that doesnt make a difference." Another added: "Connectivity is absolutely rubbish, I have a wrist watch with a cute photo on it & that's it."
