This has been featured on a few websites' "best of Black Friday" lists. Integrates with Google Assistant, has sun-simulating slow brightening visual alarm feature, and works to play music too. Retail is $80.
Probably on the fringes of the types of deals we post in this thread, but considering the deal and the generally good reviews of the product, I thought it would be worth a mention here.

I got one of these at Walmart on a sale a couple of weeks ago for $25. BB also had it at either $29 or $25.

I'm disappointed in it. Don't know if mine is broken or if it's typical, but it's mic pickup of the wake word is awful vs all my other Google smart speakers. Even the Insignia clock is MUCH better than this and will answer two rooms away before this Lenovo will respond.

Think I'm taking it back to Walmart. I'm tempted to try another one, but I've already bought a Nest Hub for $50 on Black Friday to replace this one.

EDIT: Scratch that. I bought the smaller version here. The bigger one may be fine, and I still wonder if mine just has a bad mic (and I've adjusted wake sensitivity in the Google Home App).
After going through multiple Lenovo products, including Thinkpads, all of which have flaked out, I won't touch anything from them again. Emptor your caveats.

If the style appeals this is a steal. $159 for a Sellita SW200 watch.

If the straps are even middling quality these are a great bargain. I really wish I liked the look of the watches more.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I'm in for a watch. I'll give it a try- it's certainly unique. I imagine it could be resold without too great a loss should the style just not work.

Thanks, they're blingy, good for those who like the shiny. In for the blue.

On one hand I think the watches are quite ugly. On the other, sw200 for $150, and the watch might look better in person. Hmm 🤔

I think I'll get in on this too. Just not sure what color. Deals like this are rare, and even at times when I thought I was gonna get an ugly watch just for the super cheap movement (such as the technomarine valjoux diver) i ended up really liking the watch. Better to regret something you've done than something you havent...

Thanks for posting!

Edit - took all of 2 minutes to think it over and jumped in for a blue dial after skimming an article about the watch.

Edit #2 - caved even further. Got an extra leather strap, mesh strap, 2 natos, and the strap tool. Its a separate transaction so I'd have to pay the $8.88 shipping. I sent a message asking if it can all be shipped together to save on it, but even if that's not possible its a stupidly good deal, about $50 for 4 high quality straps plus a good quality tool.

I've purchased some straps and the spring bar from James previously and they're very good quality. I wasn't sure about the shininess of the watches so never purchased one, but at $149 I got one in green. I also picked up some straps. Unfortunate for him, but some great deals for us.

~$14 for a mesh bracelet is kinda crazy too. Wish I had a watch with 22mm lugs or wish I liked their models better.

Dang it, after a long break I've picked up a Seiko manta ray over holiday and against better judgement now order carbon fiber model along with a pair of straps and spring bar tools. I don't know that I find the case style or name "Diefendorff" appealing but guess worse could be done for the price.

Ball Fireman below $500 is a great deal.

Thanks for the heads-up. I missed out the first time but I’m in for a silver Griffey this time around.

I'm a sucker for blue dials and mesh. For that price, how bad can it be? I'll let y'all know.

Just my $0.02 USD as always.
