I'm a Garmin watch loyalist — these are my favorite Prime Day deals
As a loyal Garmin watch user for five years now, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the brand. I personally don't see why anyone would choose an Apple Watch, which you have to charge every day, over a Garmin smartwatch, which will last you well over a week on a charge. To each their own, of course. If you're not totally sold on the fruit company's flagship watch, allow me to point you towards some Garmin smartwatches that will wow you. They're not cheap, but on Prime Day, you can save over $100 on many models.
Whether you're a runner, a triathlete, or just dabbling in the health and wellness sector, there's a Garmin device for you. Below, we've highlighted the best Prime Day Garmin watch deals you can shop at Amazon, as well as Best Buy.
Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a new all-time low price
The best Prime Day Garmin watch deal for most people
Why we like it
While we haven't tested the vívoactive 5 model, we did spend some time with its predecessor and gave it a nearly perfect rating. "The vívoactive 4 is an excellent smartwatch for active people wanting to be more in tune with their bodies, and for less active individuals who have the desire but need a little nudging to stick to their goals," our reviewer sums up. The fifth rendition of the watch upgraded the AMOLED display, enhances sleep and stress coaching, improves the heart rate sensor, and includes even more sports apps.
There's now a sixth-generation model in town, making the vívoactive 5 even more affordable. It's typically a pretty reasonable $299.99, but it's on sale for just $190 for Prime Day. That's only $1 away from its best-ever price from Black Friday.
Best Prime Day Garmin watch deal for athletes
Why we like it
While the fēnix 8 is the latest in the lineup, the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro is a whole lot more affordable. Regularly $899.99 for the 47mm Pro Sapphire Solar edition, it can be yours for just $499.99 on Prime Day. That's 44% in savings and a new record low.
The fēnix 7 Pro is a multisport watch built for training and adventure. It can last for up to 22 days on a charge, thanks to the addition of solar charging. Like most Garmin watches, it packs tons of health and wellness features, but it adds training features like hill score, endurance score, pacing modes, race predictor, morning reports, training readiness, advanced navigation, preloaded maps, and more performance-focused data. There's even a built-in flashlight for those who like to train at night.
