Black Friday is always a great time to bag great deals on Garmin watches. I’ve been covering wearables on Black Friday since 2016, and I can’t remember a better crop of deals than this.
Usually we see previous generation devices getting the price cuts, but if there’s been a theme of deals this year, it’s been current gen watches getting discounted.
Read on for the best deals on Garmin wearables both in the US and UK.

Best Garmin deals US
Garmin Vivoactive 5
Only released a month ago, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 gets $50 off at Amazon, which makes it an even more appealing purchase. At $249 it’s hard to recommend a better alternative – bar perhaps the Apple Watch SE.
Garmin Fenix 7
A big discount off the current Garmin flapship Fenix 7, at this price it’s hard to ignore. It offers the best of Garmin’s extensive sports tracking, with incredible battery life and full mapping for outdoor adventures.
Grab the Fenix 7 deal here on Amazon.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus
The Garmin Venu 2 has now been usurped by the Venu 3 – but the Venu 2 Plus is still a decent wellness-focused smartwatch...and it has a big discount over at Amazon.
Given that the Venu 3 is over £400, the chance to grab the excellent Venu 2 Plus for $269 is pretty tempting.
Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical
I absolutely love the Instinct 2, which is such a fun member of the Garmin line-up. It's a quality outdoors watch (no TOPO mapping here though) and it's also a really strong workout partner.
It's on Amazon for $399 down from $499. And who doesn't love $100 off?
The screen and materials are the sacrifices over the likes of Fenix and Epix, but it matches up closely in terms of analysis and metrics – and has a fun G-SHOCK styling that makes it easy to love.

Garmin Fenix 7
If you've ever coveted the Garmin Fenix 7 then there's an unmissable deal over at Amazon UK.
It's £399, down 33% from £599. You can check out the deal here.
We've never seen a current-generation Fenix sports watch go this cheap.
The likes of the Garmin Epix and AMOLED Forerunner 965/265 may have stolen some of the Fenix 7's limelight, but this is an incredible deal for athletes.
Garmin Epix
The Garmin Epix and Epix Pro have both gotten substantial discounts over at Amazon for Black Friday. Amazon – £484.99 (16% off)
The Epix is Garmin’s top-spec sports watch, with all the powers of the iconic Fenix range, but with a full AMOLED display.
The standard Epix (2nd Gen) is available at Amazon for £484.99, the first time it has broken the £500 barrier and its lowest price to date.
