For adventurous individuals, having a smartwatch that can keep up with your regular activities is important. Garmin's smartwatches are a great fit in this department, offering sturdy designs and excellent features to help you track your progress. It's even better when you can score one of these smartwatches on sale, and thankfully, Amazon is offering a very nice discount on the Garmin Instinct right now.

The Garmin Instinct is currently marked down to $179.99, 28% off its list price of $249.99. This allows you to pocket $70, which is a great deal for such a solid smartwatch. It's listed as a limited-time deal, though, so act fast to grab it at this price before the discount disappears.

We think the Garmin Instinct is "ideal for serious navigators, ultra-athletes, and solo trekkers who spend a lot of time outside and in rugged conditions," per our review. Writer Becky Wade Firth also explains that "Beyond all of the navigation support and activity tracking, the Instinct can do most things you’d want in a smartwatch: Smart notifications, weather, calendar, smartphone music controlling, and such."

Its durable design boasts thermal, shock, and water resistance up to 100 meters and, to top it all off, it has an incredibly long battery life. This smartwatch can go for up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, 16 hours in GPS mode, and 40 hours in UltraTrac mode. That's a smartwatch that'll stick with you through plenty of adventures.

This limited-time deal won't stick around for long, though. Grab the Garmin Instinct on sale for $179.99 at Amazon.

There are a few more smartwatch deals available at the moment that are worth checking out, too. Another great Garmin deal is on the Garmin Venu 3s, which is back down to its lowest-ever price. You can also score a nice discount right now on an Apple Watch Series 9 at Walmart.
