    I have had the watch 4 classic, which seems to have died on me, would charge but wouldnt turn on. Fonfix had a quick check, said out of warranty and quoted 280 euro to repair…

    Obviously not doing that!

    Typically the new version has just been announced, and i love the look of the ultra.

    Anyone seen any good deals?

    If i manage to get my old one to turn on again, i can get 30 dollars off through a samsung employee deal my company has signed up to.

    If not, i can get 100 off for any smartwatch or buds, working or not, plus 15% off through revolut coming to 494.15.

    Anyone seen any other deals, stackable with revolut/samsung or something?

    Thanks

    Ps if there is discussions here on the watch,please link, I couldnt find it.

    I've the same problem with my 4 Classic, got it to finally power on after charging off the USB cable via laptop l, first thing I did was. A reset but now it's glitching the whole time, pain in the arse to enter the unlock pattern for example. I really like a bezel on a watch but don't think I use it that often, I think I'll go for 7 Ultra but can't seem to find the 15% off with revolut, just silly points.

    I think Revlout have just recently discontinued the cashback/discounts and replaced it with a new rewards scheme

    I didn't realize Avant gave the discount, over €100 saved, I'll be going for that, that's a million.

    Does the Ultra look very big? I have a Pixel Watch 2 and it looks too small, prefer the Galaxy Watch 4 I had previously!

    Anyone seen any discounts? Looks like I can get €105 trade-in for the Watch 4 (if it still works, am charging it now!) and can claim a €100 pre-paid master card also.

    Nope, fine on my normal wrist , loving it.

    i'd recommend going for the 100 for any broken/damaged device and keep or sell the 4 privately, along with the 100 card back.

    @phill106 Cheers, I did just that last night, I found a random 10% promo code online also, so couldn't resist! .

    Unfortunately the watch I ordered only comes with the orange band and only had option of white or orange for the extra free band … any suggestions for other dark coloured bands?

    I'm using this strap ordered on Amazon Germany, but shipped from China I think. I like it, The velcro type straps allow you to set to any tightness instead of tightening to the existing holes in the normal type straps if you know what I mean.

    I also got this Spigen case/strap which is pretty nice, but I didn't like that the buttons are a little harder to press because the case is protecting them a little, but it is a good case and not that much more bulky than the bare watch.
