Argos and Google to unveil 'Britain's Smartest Boat', open for one day only

This Friday (November 15), Argos is opening up 'Britain's Smartest Boat' for one day only to showcase the power of a smarthome.

It comes after a poll found 2/3 of people who own a smart home device don't use their devices to their full potential - even though 75 per cent of those asked said they used their smart speaker everyday.

13 per cent said they call upon their devices for every hour. More than half (52 per cent) of those surveyed use their device to play music, 44 per cent said they used them to find out the weather. 

The free immersive 'smart boat' experience will feature Google Nest products.

Chirag Shah, Smart Home Buyer at Argos, said: “We are thrilled to showcase all the amazing things that smart home devices can do and bring them to life in such a fun way for our customers.

"This immersive event is a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to discover how truly helpful the Google Nest Mini can be, and we anchorage’ everyone to explore just how connected their homes can become.”

Argos is also offering five people the chance to win an overnight stay on the boat and also enjoy a delicious dinner, prepared by a personal chef. All hopeful entrants need to do is enter a prize draw by posting on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram the smart home function they would most like to have in the future, with the hashtag #ArgosGoogle.
