Smartwatches span a bigger price range than almost any other gadget category — from a £5.67 step counter to a £113 4G watch that works without your phone nearby. We went through Megastore76’s current smartwatch stock — real listings, real prices — to find eight picks that actually make sense, whichever end of that range you’re shopping. Holding out for a discount? See our Black Friday & Prime Big Deal Days UK 2026 guide for the key dates.
What actually matters before you buy
- Ecosystem lock-in: an Apple Watch only pairs fully with an iPhone, and a Samsung Galaxy Watch unlocks its best features on a Samsung phone. If you’re not tied to one phone brand, a generic Bluetooth watch or a Wear OS device like the Pixel Watch keeps your options open.
- Call watches vs fitness trackers: budget “answer/make calls” watches route audio through the watch’s own speaker and mic via your phone’s Bluetooth connection — genuinely useful, but not the same as a phone. A dedicated fitness tracker (like the Galaxy Fit3) drops calling for a lighter, longer-lasting band.
- Standalone connectivity (4G/LTE): most smartwatches need a phone nearby for data. A 4G or LTE model can make calls, send texts and use apps entirely on its own — useful for kids, elderly relatives, or anyone who wants to leave their phone at home on a run.
- Health tracking claims: optical blood pressure and blood oxygen sensors on budget watches give an estimate, not a clinical reading — useful for spotting trends over time, not for diagnosing anything. Don’t rely on a £10–£20 watch the way you’d rely on a proper medical device.
- Hybrid vs full touchscreen: a hybrid watch (like the CZ Smart PQ2 from Citizen) looks like a traditional analogue watch while quietly tracking activity underneath — worth considering if you don’t want to look like you’re wearing a gadget.

Prices and stock shown are correct as of 30 August 2026 and are pulled directly from live Megastore76 listings — always check the current price and availability on the product page before buying, as reseller stock changes daily. Where the same watch appears at two different prices, that’s two separate seller listings for the same model — worth comparing both before you buy.
Our picks by use case
iPhone owner wanting Apple’s ecosystem for less: the Apple Watch SE covers the core Apple Watch experience — fitness tracking, notifications and deep iPhone integration — without paying flagship prices. Want a newer generation instead? The Apple Watch Series 6 is also in stock at £72.95.
Android/Samsung owner wanting the full ecosystem: the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (Bluetooth, £59.95) covers everything most people need; step up to the LTE version at £54.95—£59.95 range if you want calls and texts without your phone nearby.
Wear OS fan: the Google Pixel Watch 2 pairs Wi-Fi and LTE with tight integration into Google’s health and fitness apps — the strongest non-Samsung Android option here.
Don’t want to look like you’re wearing a gadget: the CZ Smart PQ2 from Citizen is a genuine hybrid — traditional analogue styling with heart rate and activity tracking hidden underneath.
Want a fitness tracker, not a full smartwatch: the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 drops the bulk of a full touchscreen watch in favour of lightweight, all-day activity and health tracking — and it’s supplied new and sealed.
Hate charging your watch every night: the Nothing Watch Pro 2 claims up to 11 days on a single charge — by far the longest battery life on this list.
Want it to work without your phone at all: the 4G Smart Watch’s built-in 4G connectivity, 5MP camera and Android software let it make calls, send texts and run apps entirely standalone — useful for kids, older relatives, or runners who want to leave their phone at home.
Just want to try a smartwatch cheaply: the 2026 Smart Watch Women at £9.53 is about as low-risk as this category gets.
FAQs
Can I trust the blood pressure readings on a budget smartwatch? Treat them as an estimate and a trend indicator, not a medical measurement. Optical sensors on watches under £30 aren’t clinically validated the way a cuff-based blood pressure monitor is — useful for noticing changes over time, not for making health decisions.
Do I need LTE, or is Bluetooth enough? If your phone is always nearby, Bluetooth is enough — the watch relays calls and notifications through your phone’s connection. LTE (or standalone 4G) only matters if you want the watch to work independently, like on a run without your phone.
Will a Samsung or generic Android watch work with an iPhone? Basic notifications and fitness tracking usually work across both, but you lose ecosystem-specific features (like Samsung’s health app integrations) unless you’re on a matching phone. Apple Watches only work with iPhones at all.
Why does the same watch show two different prices? Several models in this list — like the Fitness Tracker Sport Watch and the V69 1.85″ — are listed by more than one seller through eBay. Prices and stock levels can differ between listings, so it’s worth checking both before buying.
