The weather is beautiful here at PopSci HQ and that makes me want to get out and exercise. We all know that workouts don’t count unless they’re tracked, of course, and Garmin’s running watches, fitness trackers, and GPS smartwatches are a great way to do that. Right now, Amazon has Garmin’s most popular models on sale for the lowest prices we have seen since Black Friday. So, grab a watch, then get out in nature for a hike or some other activity that will raise your vitamin D levels.
Garmin Forerunner 965 Running Smartwatch $399.99 (was $599.99)
$599.99
$399.99
The Forerunner 965 is Garmin’s top-tier running watch, and it doesn’t drop 33% very often. At $399.99—down $200 from its $599.99 list price—you’re getting a titanium-bezeled AMOLED touchscreen, up to 23 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, and some of the most comprehensive training and recovery analytics available.
Garmin Forerunner 265 Running Smartwatch $349.99 (was $449.99)
$449.99
$349.99
This is a sweet spot in the lineup for many runners. It offers an AMOLED display, full training load and recovery metrics, and a lighter profile than the 965, at a meaningfully lower price. It’s easily worth the investment at full price, and at $100 off it becomes even easier to recommend over more expensive alternatives. Multiple color options are on sale at this price.
Garmin vívoactive 6 Health and Fitness GPS Smartwatch $249.99 (was $299.99)
$299.99
$249.99
If a race-day training tool isn’t what you’re after, the vívoactive 6 is the move. It leads with health and fitness fundamentals. You still get GPS, AMOLED display, sleep tracking, body battery energy monitoring, and up to 11 days of battery life. You don’t have to deal with the runner-specific complexity.
Garmin Lily 2 Smartwatch $198.99 (was $249.99)
$249.99
$198.99
The Lily 2 is Garmin’s most compact and jewelry-adjacent smartwatch, designed with smaller wrists in mind. Behind its patterned lens and hidden display sits a full suite of health tracking features—stress monitoring, sleep, menstrual cycle tracking, pulse ox—all in a watch that doesn’t scream “fitness tracker.”
