Garmin smartwatch deals: USA
If you are considering a Garmin smartwatch but want a clearer idea of what you need, quickly plug your requirements into this easy-to-use watch finder tool from Garmin to help narrow down your options.
Garmin Instinct 2: $349.99 $199.99 at Amazon
43% off - The discount applies to the Graphite Camo colourway and 45mm size. It's rugged and may be for you if you want a watch that screams adventurer. If the camo isn't for you, the black version is also on sale too.
Battery life is 28 days and there are the usual health and fitness features, but no contactless pay tech, so consider this if it's a deal breaker for you.
Currently, this is the cheapest this model has ever been on Amazon, and it could go lower yet.
Garmin Epix Gen 2: $899.99 $449.99 at Amazon
50% off - The Epix Gen 2 champions its Amoled screen display and the list of specs for the watch is huge. Want an example? Epix Gen 2 boasts a jet lag advisor, up to 43,000 pre-loaded golf course maps and real-time stamina metrics.
Like the Instinct 2 above, this is the cheapest this model has ever been on Amazon.
Garmin Instinct 2S Solar: $399.99 $284.00 at Amazon
29% off - Garmin markets the Instinct 2 as a rugged, hardy smartwatch, the 2S is the smaller version with a 40mm face. It has a water rating of 100 metres and is thermal and shock resistant, perfect for adventuring.

The Graphite and Neo Tropic colours have the best discount currently. Graphite is the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon.
Garmin Fenix 7X Solar: $899.99 $639.00 at Amazon
29% off - The Fenix 7 does everything that a cycling computer does, and then some. This X version of the Fenix 7 has a larger 1.4-inch display. It will suit larger wrists and give you a little more screen real estate than the standard model.
Garmin Fenix 6X Pro: $649.99 $519.99 at Amazon
20% off - Before the Fenix 7, the Fenix 6 was Garmin's top multisport watch. It shares many of the same features, although it lacks a touchscreen and its battery life isn't the match of the newer model. But Garmin's software updates mean that you get the majority of the functionality of the Garmin 7 range.
Garmin Forerunner 945: $499.99 $299.99 at Amazon
40% off - Summed up, the Forerunner 945 is a smartwatch aimed at triathlon or running disciplines which also supports music and third-party music apps such as Spotify and Deezer. Oh, and it has contactless pay tech too.
Battery life is 10 hours in GPS mode or 2 whole weeks in smartwatch mode. If you don't need all the bells and whistles of some of the more premium models, this watch offers a heck of a lot for the price.
Garmin Forerunner 255 Music: $399.99 $293.00 at Amazon
27% off - Don't let the 'runner' bit put you off - the Garmin Forerunner series offers much that cyclists will like. Its heart rate and HRV tracking will allow you to keep track of your fitness and sleep trends and it will link up to cycling peripherals for all your workout data.

The clue is in the name of the solar charging Enduro, it offers up to 300 hours of battery life when in max battery mode or 80 hours in GPS mode. If you need a lighter-weight smartwatch with huge battery life then this is it.
Garmin Vivoactive 5: $299.99 $249.99 at Amazon

What Black Friday Garmin deals to expect
We have been monitoring Garmin deals for around five years in total, particularly around the Black Friday sale event. We can also examine historical pricing to see what is genuinely a good deal.
Regarding the brand's bike computer range, this summer saw the launch of the range-topping Edge 1050 computer, so we'd be surprised if there weren't some deals on the older models such as the Edge 1040, 1040 solar, or the 1030 Plus before it. These deals probably won't be earth-shattering, but if you're hoping to get a new top-tier computer, now may be a good time. Some of the biggest discounts are often applied to the Edge 530 and 540 models as well as the Edge 130, smaller more compact units.
We always see smartwatch deals during key sale events and we expect Black Friday will be no different. Some Garmin smartwatches have already been reduced in price since the Prime Day sale event several weeks ago, and we could expect more watched to be further discounted. The large Garmin Smartwatch range also means there are usually several really solid deals, there's just a lot to choose from.
Although we aren't expecting huge deals on the top-tier products, there are usually lots of savings to be had on Garmin's lower-spec computers, and heart rate monitors too.
It's still early days, if your looking for a particular deal on a certain product right now we would recommend holding generally speaking, some stronger discounts should yet roll out.
