One of the best features of this watch is its long-lasting battery, offering up to 31 days in smartwatch mode and 58 hours in GPS mode. So from lengthy workouts to weekends in the great outdoors, you’re covered.

The 1.4-inch AMOLED screen also has a light and crisp display, and it’s even easy to read in direct sunlight. The new sapphire crystal lens not only looks sleek, but it’s also scratch-resistant, while the fibre-reinforced polymer case is durable without feeling too bulky. Ernest Jones even has a feature to try the watch on your own wrist to see if you like the style!

If you’re big on that health and fitness hype, this watch can measure a ton of impressive metrics. We’re talking VO2 max to look at your cardiovascular fitness, while the PacePro™ guidance offers insights and helps you plan your workout to best improve your performance.

The ECG app can detect irregular heart rhythms, while the Pulse Ox measures oxygen saturation, with low levels potentially signalling respiratory problems. The HRV status can help gauge your recovery time, and you can use the Body Battery™ energy monitoring for stress and sleep coaching, ensuring your health is at its peak, whether you’re up and active during the day or trying to rest at night.

Heading out alone can be scary, especially in winter with the short days and dark nights. But this watch also has incident detection, which uses built-in motion sensors and GPS to detect any unusual movements during an outdoor workout, whether that’s a fall while running or a crash during a cycle. It can even send your real-time location to a pre-selected emergency contact in an instant, and you can also trigger it manually if you feel unsafe while you’re out on your own.

And look, we know that this is still a pricey splurge, but with its extensive health tracking, advanced performance features, and 50% off, it’s certainly an investment that’s hard to pass up…
