Skip the Rumored Apple Watch Series 11, This Bargain Smartwatch Covers the Basics for Just $52

Save 25% on the Cubitt Viva smartwatch with this limited-time QVC deal for a budget-friendly boost to your fitness.

Many of us are buzzing with excitement over Apple’s next «Awe Dropping» event, which takes place Sept. 9, and CNET’s experts are expecting a number of announcements, including the Apple Watch Series 11. But if you don’t need all the bells and whistles of the latest high-end models, you can find budget-friendly alternatives — and right now, QVC has a deal you won’t want to miss.

Smartwatches are a great way to keep up with your overall health metrics and fitness levels while also keeping you connected on the go, which makes them a more versatile option than a basic fitness tracker. But these devices can be costly, with top-tier models sometimes costing several hundred dollars. Right now you can snag the Cubitt Viva smartwatch for just $52, saving you 25% on its usual $70 price tag.

This smartwatch has a 1.84-inch AMOLED display, a 300 mAh capacity battery and customizable dials. Not only does it track your heart rate, but it also tracks your sleep, blood oxygen, stress, steps and more. Plus, it supports over 60 sports modes to help you monitor your fitness levels. You can also make and receive calls and get messages, notifications and more right on your wrist, which can add some extra convenience to your day. It’s compatible with both iOS and Android, too, making it a great budget buy regardless of whether you’re on team iPhone or team Android.

You can snag this discounted smartwatch in a variety of colors: black, blue, gray, lilac and rose gold. Plus, your purchase includes free shipping.

It’s also worth noting that first-time QVC shoppers can save an extra $30 off their first order valued at $60 or more with promo code WELCOME30. While this smartwatch deal falls below that threshold, it may be worth adding a second item to your cart to take advantage of this deal if you haven’t shopped with QVC before.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me
USA E-SIM — https://usa.esim.verum.im
Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im
Balkan E-SIM — https://balkan.esim.verum.im
Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
