I’ve personally trained for seven marathons in the past seven years, and I can attest to the importance of having the right running watch. In the past, I relied on nothing but my own instincts and a basic understanding of pacing, but now I rely on my trusty Garmin Forerunner 970. With its advanced features and reliable GPS tracking, it’s a game-changer for any serious athlete.

Garmin has recently released the Forerunner 70 and 170, which means its older models are now available at discounted prices. The Forerunner line is known for delivering detailed metrics and reliable GPS tracking, often with a multi-week battery life. Here are some of the best deals on Garmin watches that have caught my attention.

Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition: 35% Off
The second-generation Garmin Epix Pro Sapphire Edition was previously discounted by 50% and is now seeing a 35% discount, bringing its usual price down to $663.36. Although Garmin has since merged the Epix and Fenix product lines, replacing this model with the Fenix 8 series, the Epix Pro still holds up as a reliable and feature-rich option. It offers a range of features, including sleep and blood oxygen level tracking, VO2 Max measurement, and support for 30 different activities. Additionally, it offers multisport mode, golfing features, tides, and fish forecasts.
Garmin Forerunner Line: Great Deals to Be Had
If the Epix Pro feels like overkill, the Forerunner series is where you should focus your attention. Here are some of the best deals on Forerunner watches:
- The Garmin Forerunner 55 is available for $129, down from its usual price of $199.99. As my colleague Beth Skwarecki reports, this watch was good enough for Sabastian Sawe to wear when he broke the sub-2-hour marathon barrier earlier this year.
- The Garmin Forerunner 165 is available for $199.99, down from its usual price of $249.99. This is my favorite entry-level running watch, offering a range of features and a reliable performance.
- The Garmin Forerunner 265 is available for $349.99, down from its usual price of $449.99. Although it’s not the latest and greatest option, this watch is still a fan favorite among Garmin users, offering advanced analytics and compatibility with power meters.
Garmin Vivoactive 5: 40% Off
Stepping back from the Forerunner lineup, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is another great option for casual athletes. This watch is available for $189.99, down from its usual price of $229.99. Although it’s since been replaced by the Vivoactive 6, the 5 is still a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and feature-rich option.
