JOHN Lewis has launched a wave of early-bird Black Friday discounts and there\u2019s an absolute gem of a smartwatch deal available.<\/strong><\/p>\n Shoppers can pick up the premium Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro for \u00a3399: that\u2019s \u00a3100 less than usual.<\/p>\n The biggest sales day of the year isn\u2019t until the end of the month, but anybody with deals on their radar needn\u2019t wait until then.<\/p>\n At the beginning of November, John Lewis launched a wave of early-bird Black Friday discounts on a range of appliances and tech products, with major brands like Samsung making an appearance.<\/p>\n It was back in 2022 that the Galaxy Watch 5 range hit the market.<\/p>\n The standard model in the line has since been succeeded by the Watch 6, but interestingly, no new Pro model has been released.<\/p>\n Make no mistake: the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a formidable piece of Android tech and one that\u2019s a very credible rival to premium equivalents from Apple.\u00a0<\/p>\n To see how either brand\u2019s wearables compare to one another, read our Apple Watch vs Samsung Watch explainer.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in search of what they call a \u2018true smartwatch\u2019 (a wearable that isn\u2019t just for fitness tracking, but everyday use) then this limited-time deal is well worth a look.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Keep in mind, too, that this is the Pro model in the range: bigger, cased in rugged titanium, and with a much longer battery life.<\/p>\n It offers a comprehensive range of fitness metrics. The Watch 5 Pro will monitor your heart rate and rhythm, your sleep cycles, your blood oxygen, blood pressure and body composition.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also an expansive range of workout companion modes too. Outdoor runners, in particular, will appreciate certain features that\u2019s only available in the Pro mode: it\u2019s got a \u2018Track Back\u2019 navigational feature that will help you find your way home should you take an unfamiliar route.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also a great device for workout sessions in the gym too: after any intense cardio, the Watch 5 Pro will track your heart rate recovery and gauge how well you recover. It will even let you know how much you should re-hydrate.<\/p>\n The Pro is an exceptional choice for people who favour bulkier wearables: it\u2019s got a 45mm face, whereas the standard Watch 5 is only available in 40mm and 44mm sizes.<\/p>\n Perhaps its most notable feature is the hugely increased battery life: by contract to the standard Watch 5\u2019s 410mAh capacity, its 572mAh battery is advertised to last for 80 hours.<\/p>\n On top of that, the Watch 5 Pro supports faster charging speeds, thanks to its USB-C – perfect if (like us) you\u2019re the type who always forget to plug in their devices before going to bed at night.<\/p>\n In pure looks it\u2019s seriously eye-catching too, with a crisp, 1.36-inch AMOLED display and an intuitive user interface that\u2019s widely considered to be one of the best in the industry.<\/p>\n The WearOS ecosystem features tech not just built by Samsung but Google too: you can use this smartwatch to download apps like Spotify, and you can also take and receive calls too.<\/p>\n You can pick it up in two different colours: Gray Titanium and Black Titanium.<\/p>\n It\u2019s earned an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 on the John Lewis website, with one buyer describing it as a wearable with \u2018superb looks, feel and performance.\u2019<\/p>\n He goes on to add: \u2018An impressive watch with presence and performance in equal measure \u2026 finally, a watch that properly interacts with my phone. I\u2019ve had it for a few weeks and haven\u2019t found anything yet to disappoint me.\u2019<\/p>\n At full price, going Pro might have been beyond many shoppers\u2019 budgets, but after a \u00a3100 discount this smartwatch is looking a whole lot affordable.<\/p>\n John Lewis offers a two-year warranty period, as well as a tech cycle scheme that lets you bring any old items smaller than 25cm into the store, after which they\u2019ll be safely and responsibly recycled.<\/p>\n The store offers free delivery on orders of \u00a350 – so with this stylish smartwatch, you're covered.<\/p>\n To avoid that upfront spend, you can also spread the cost across a 24- or 36-month period.*<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find more price drops on devices from Apple, Garmin, Dyson and Shark listed on our John Lewis Black Friday deals page.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Head to our Black Friday hub for more news and information about the huge late-September sale.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
