The best Black Friday deals on Garmin — get record-low prices on Forerunner 55, vívoactive 5, and epix Pro
Black Friday is alive with deals. Robot vacuums, TVs, portable power stations, you name it, they've all seen incredible discounts. Fitness trackers have also seen some incredible lows, and as a huge fan of Garmin, I've been keeping my eye out for any standout deals.
Garmin prices can range hugely. You can grab an entry-level fitness tracker for just over $100, or you can go way up the ladder if you want all the bells, whistles, and crazy stats. There's something for every fitness goal.
Here are my favorite Black Friday Garmin deals live right now.
The best budget Black Friday Garmin deal
Why we like it
If you love to run, the Forerunner range is your greatest companion. It's one of the most extensive Garmin ranges, with dozens in the lineup. The 55 is a more budget-friendly option, while still giving you advanced stats and training metrics. You'll get up to two weeks of battery life in smartwatch mode, and 20 hours in GPS mode, so it's powerful enough for endurance activities. You'll also get Garmin training metrics like suggested workouts, fitness level, and recovery time. And it's not just for running, you can also track a wide range of activities like swimming, Pilates, HIIT, and more.
The best mid-range Black Friday Garmin deal
Why we like it
For a fitness tracker that does a bit of everything, and does it well, you truly can't go wrong with the vívoactive 5. Now surpassed in the range by the vívoactive 6, this is still the same impressive watch, but cheaper. Get workouts ranging from running and swimming to yoga and Pilates, and enjoy metrics such as fitness age, stress tracking, and body battery. This model also has a wheelchair mode that tracks pushes rather than steps, as well as push and handcycle activities with preloaded workouts specifically for wheelchair users.
The best premium Black Friday Garmin deal
Why we like it
The Garmin epix Pro is a mammoth fitness tracker, and a great option for advanced tracking. Ultrarunners and endurance athletes will really benefit from the advanced navigation sensors and preloaded maps, with multi-band reception giving you far more accurate positioning even when you’re deep in the woods or surrounded by tall buildings. Battery life is around 384 hours, and this is optimized by the multi-GNSS with SatIQ technology, which improves coverage in tricky environments while preserving power. It even has a built-in LED flashlight with different intensities and strobe to help assist your training during the night or early, dark mornings.
