- Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days returns October 6th and 7th
- We’re seeing deals on our favorite Garmin gear ahead of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days.
- Some of Garmin’s most popular models, including the Forerunner, Fenix, and Venu, are heavily discounted.
WE TEST PLENTY of fitness trackers and smartwatches here at Men’s Health, but when it comes to outdoor enthusiasts, one has regularly stood out in our trials—Garmin. While an Apple Watch or a standard Fitbit can cover the basics, we prefer Garmin watches for more adventurous workouts. Hiking, rock climbing, and trail running all fit under that umbrella, and Garmin delivers every time. And Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is the perfect time to snag one on deep discount. While the two-day event occurs October 6th and 7th, there’s already deals on our favorite Garmin gear.
Garmin’s watches do tend to run you a bit more, but you get what you pay for. Still, it might not be within everyone’s preferred price range—until now. Editor-tested and approved Garmin smartwatches are up to 43 percent off on Amazon as we move towards the autumn season. This includes some of our favorite hand-tested devices, such as the Fēnix 7X Pro Solar, which is over $250 off.
There are also substantial price cuts on older models, but they’re not markedly different than some of the newer versions we’ve tested. Below, we outlined some of the best late-season sales on Garmin watches.

There are a few non-smartwatch deals, too. If you’re in the market for a new dash cam—a solid investment that could potentially save you thousands down the line—the Mini3 Dash Cam is now 30 percent off on Amazon. It’s ultracompact, easy to set up, and features intuitive voice control.
