Take Advantage Of These Select Deals From TomTop’s Flash Sale [Updated]

So you all remember how I have declared a war on my now quickly disappearing pot-belly. The goal is to have it replaced by pure muscle in the next three months and I think I have been hitting the right strides. One way to make sure that you meet your exercise goals and do not slack off is through the help of a smart device like a smartwatch or smart band.

Are these devices useful

Anyone who has watched any number of Hollywood productions has seen how addiction groups make the use of sponsors. Let’s say you are an alcoholic and you join Alcoholic Anonymous (AA), you are paired with a sponsor. Whenever you feel like backsliding and having a drink you can call/meet the sponsor and they can help nudge you back onto the wagon.

Devices like smart watches and smart bands do far more than the quartz watches of yester years. You can set goals on them and whenever it’s time for your exercises they can vibrate or issue some sort of alert to remind you. You can glance at notifications from say WhatsApp without taking your phone of the pocket and potentially save time. They monitor your heart rate and sleep patterns making sure you are living and healthy life.

Here are some smart watches and devices from Tomtop

MY3 Colorful Touch Screen Smart Bracelet

We all, except the very lucky few, live on very tight budgets where every cent spared is welcome. If you are like me then all you want is a cheap smart band that comes with decent specs and does the job without costing a fortune. The MY3 is such a device. It is currently selling for $14 plus $3 shipping to Zimbabwe. At this price you get a device that is (reasonably) water proof, has a heart tracker, comes with sleep monitoring functionality and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices.

Import Duty

It is important to note that smart watches and smart bands are sometimes classified differently by ZIMRA. Smart watches are deemed to be watches while smartbands are classified as monitoring devices. Smart watches are classified under heading 91 and attract duty of 20% plus the usual VAT of 15%. Meanwhile smartbands might be classified as medical instruments which attract a lower amount of duty. Just be prudent and assume you will pay the higher duty when making your decision.

Making payments

By now I think most people know the drill: If you want to buy online you need a Visa/MasterCard to that can make international payments. In Zimbabwe that means getting an FBC prepaid MasterCard or the Steward Visa Card. Either of which have to be prefunded using real forex.
