Big W's Budget Digital Calendar Sells Out Fast, Beats Kmart's Price
In a move that has captured the attention of Australian shoppers, Big W has launched a digital e-calendar that is not only more affordable than its Kmart counterpart but has also sparked a buying frenzy. The Kmart version sold out within days, creating high demand, and now Big W's offering is following suit, with expectations of a quick sell-out.
Affordable Family Command Centre
The Byddee 15” Digital E-Calendar is priced at just $199, making it a budget-friendly alternative to similar devices. Available both in-store and online, this device serves as a smart command centre designed to keep families organised, connected, and synchronised. With a bright, easy-to-read 15-inch touchscreen, it consolidates schedules, reminders, tasks, and memories into one simple hub.
Powered by the free Whalely App, which requires no subscriptions, the Buddee calendar ensures effortless organisation. It syncs with popular calendar services like Google, Outlook, Cozi, Yahoo, and iCloud, allowing real-time updates for every family member's schedule. This feature helps manage everything from ballet classes to swimming towel reminders, reducing the mental load for parents.
More Than Just a Calendar
Beyond its scheduling capabilities, the Buddee calendar doubles as a personal photo display, enabling families to share and enjoy favourite moments while managing daily life. Built-in features include chore charts, to-do lists, meal planning, and a rewards system, positioning it as the ultimate all-in-one family organiser.
A spokesperson for Big W highlighted the growing popularity of digital calendars as tools to simplify family chaos. "From school activities and afternoon sports to weekend play dates, we know that keeping a family organised can be chaotic," they said. "Digital calendars have been rising in popularity as an incredible tool to help lighten the mental load for parents, so we've brought our own to shelves at a price that's incredibly affordable for families."
Social Media Buzz and High Demand
Since its online launch at Big W late last week, the calendar has taken social media by storm, with many users praising its functionality. Comments like "this thing is awesome" and "I need one of these in my life" have flooded platforms, indicating strong consumer interest. Big W anticipates selling out quickly, urging potential buyers to act fast to secure one.
This release underscores a trend towards affordable, multifunctional tech solutions for households, as retailers like Big W and Kmart compete to meet consumer demand for budget-friendly organisers. With its combination of low cost and comprehensive features, the Buddee calendar is set to become a staple in Australian homes seeking to streamline their daily routines.
