Not the latest and greatest but decent prices for capable WearOS smartwatches. The Armani watches would look great even if used for time-telling only :) Granted, Gen 4 WearOS can be frustrating but after a week or so they seem to settle and perform perfectly fine.
Awesome! You add it to cart and it automatically adjusts the price. It also states "Extra 40%" on the david jones page
I just got a grey one for 30% off at last week's sale. Decent little watch for the price, and a good size.
I'm struggling a bit with getting a decent battery life, but there's a few threads on Reddit to help with it.
Turn off "tilt to wake" or whatever it's called. Makes a massive difference. I still have the always on display on. Brightness is automatic.
I wore it from 8am to 11pm last night - admittedly minimal usage of the smartwatch functions yesterday but went to bed with 65% battery.
The day before with a bit more usage, still had 45%.
Has made the biggest difference for me.
FWIW I've turned off tilt to wake and have always on screen instead and found I'm getting better battery life. I've set brightness to 1 (I'm indoors mostly so find its enough). I charge twice a day - one in the morning when having breakfast and once at night before I sleep and that gets me through. I use Sleep as Android on the watch to track my sleeping at night and that kills about 45% to 50% of battery overnight, so I imagine without it I'd last the day.
I've also followed the Performance Boost steps in the link below and that has really sped it up. Will try to remove the Bloatware when I can and hope that will improve battery life.
Also one other big thing that impacts on battery drain is what watch face you have and what features / complications is has and the refresh rate for them. I designed my own face (using Facer) and had a sweeping seconds hand, since changing that to ticking it's helped a lot.
Edit: whoops forgot to post the link

Well, I've turned off Wifi today and it's made a significant improvement. I'll see how it goes overnight.
@JoelT: How'd you go with the WiFi off? Forgot to mention in my post I've got it turned off - I don't find it adds much since I have the watch and phone connected via Bluetooth.
@Shamwow01: Turning wifi off boosted my new watch from about 8 hours battery life to around 36 hours - even allowing me to turn on Always On Display. Someone on Reddit mentioned it so I followed the advice. Much more usable now, and as you said, my watch is using Bluetooth most the time anyways.
Fossil site shows 99
any links? showing $199.50 for me
$99 would be a steal if true
oops! That's a US site I was looking at :-(
Any link for the Armani WearOS watch?
If you Google 'David Jones Smartwatches' it'll give you a link to a page with all of them. Sort price low to high and Armani aren't far after the Fossil's. Quickest way to do it, rather than using the DJ's homepage.
This in-store only? Can't see an add to cart option
Showing as 199 for me. How do you get the 40% off and where is the Armani WearOS watches
