Why we love this deal

Smartphones demand constant attention — from family calls and text chains to logging workouts and checking sleep data. If you want to do all of that while taking a break from your phone screen, Amazon is selling a Tensky Smartwatch for a wallet-friendly price.

Normally priced at $80, this compact gadget can be yours for just $42 when you use a limited-time coupon. The watch is already 42% off at $47, and the coupon saves an additional $5 at checkout. Available in black or pink bands, both models feature the same advanced capabilities.

Why do shoppers love it?

The Tensky has a 1.85-inch touchscreen display that lets you choose between various watch faces. It also lets you answer phone calls, respond to text messages, and check notifications from your smartphone apps. The watch also doubles as a fitness tracker, with over 100 sport modes tracking your heart rate and blood oxygen levels while running, playing tennis, or swimming. It also tracks your sleep progress so you can know how well you're resting. You'll get to use all of those features for up to 12 hours per battery charge.

Tons of Amazon shoppers praised the Tensky watch with five-star ratings and reviews. One shopper called the watch “easy to use,” while another found it “comfortable to wear” for hours on end. A different shopper thought the watch was the best of both worlds, saying it “works great and looks nice.”
