- Prime Day is now over, but we’re still seeing deals on our favorite Garmin gear.
- Some of Garmin’s most popular models, including the Forerunner, Fenix, and Venu, are still heavily discounted.
- Save nearly 40% on select dash cams and hiking gear as well.
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’s rugged line of watches fits the bill.
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. This year’s Prime Day is over, but the deals are still in full effect.
Editor-tested and approved Garmin smartwatches are up to 52 percent off. This includes some of our favorite hand-tested devices, such as the Fēnix 7X Pro Solar, which is over $300 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 summer sales on Garmin Watches.

By far the best deal is nearly 40 percent off the Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition, which is now half off. The waterproof watch is built with the adventurous in mind and features a bright AMOLED display, a built-in flashlight, and 30 hours of battery life. Our favorite device, the fēnix 8, doesn’t go on sale often, but right now it’s $150 off. It’s perfect for high-octane adventurers and athletes, and we’re fans of its unparalleled battery life (29 days in smartwatch mode and 84 hours in GPS mode).
We’re amped up for golf season, and now’s a great time to nab one of our favorite golf watches, the Approach S12, considering it’s just $150. The S12 features a solid 30 hours of battery life and comes preloaded with 42,000 courses from around the globe.
As mentioned, 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 over 30 percent off on Amazon. It’s ultracompact, easy to set up, and features intuitive voice control. Avid hikers should also consider the Garmin InReach Mini 2 while it’s nearly 25 percent off. The emergency satellite communicator serves as a backup device to your phone when you’re venturing out into the great outdoors.
