Our favourite smartwatch of 2023 is now massively reduced

The excellent TicWatch Pro 5 has just seen a massive £100 reduction over at Amazon, making now the perfect time to pick one up.

Right now you can get the Wear OS-touting smartwatch for just £229.99, which is a far easier price to contend with than its original £329.99 RRP.

As the headline for this article has already pointed out, we’re big fans of the TicWatch Pro 5 – so much so that it was awarded last year’s top spot as the Best Smartwatch of 2023. Even at full price, the TicWatch Pro 5 is worth picking up so when you can get it with a £100 reduction, it’s an easy win for any Android user.

It’s worth pointing out that this is the same price that the TicWatch Pro 5 fell to during the Black Friday sale, so if you missed out on that offer at the time then now’s your chance to snap up it again.

At £229.99, it’s also one of the cheapest options for a modern Wear OS smartwatch, with the Pixel Watch 2 coming in at £349 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 at £289.

Is the TicWatch Pro 5 worth buying?

While it has yet to receive the latest Wear OS 4 update, the TicWatch Pro 5 is still a fantastic wearable that absolutely destroys the competition in a number of ways. For starters, it is industry leading where battery life is concerned.

Thanks to its use of a secondary FSTN display that shows key bits of information like the time and your step count without needing to wake up the main AMOLED screen, the TicWatch Pro 5 can run for up to five days on a single charge. That’s nearly unprecedented for a proper smartwatch and it does away with any battery anxiety. It also helps that you can get from 15% to a full battery in just an hour.

The watch itself, while not really a looker in the same way that the Pixel Watch 2 is, is at least durable. With military grading and water resistance up to 5ATM, the TicWatch Pro 5 can easily be taken for an outdoor swim or a weekend hike.

Thanks to the Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chipset under the hood, everything runs smoothly. You can whizz through menus and jump into different apps at impressive speed, and I certainly didn’t notice any slowdown during my time reviewing the watch.
