Garmins are super-popular buys in the Black Friday deals every year, but often it’s older models you see discounted, not the best, brightest, and shiniest new entries to the lineup. Not so this year: almost every Garmin watch has a discount in some form or another.
I’ve been testing Garmin watches for years. I wrote TechRadar’s buying guide to the best Garmin watches overall, and I’ve been testing fitness kit for a decade. I recently narrowed down our recommendations to just six watches: best for most people, premium, budget, best for runners, outdoors, and golf. Lo and behold, all of them are discounted for Black Friday.
Our best pick for most people, the Garmin Venu 4, costs just $499 at Amazon (was $549), while the Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm is priced at $849.99 at Best Buy (was $1,099.99). Check out the deals in full below on my pick of the best Garmin watches, all of which I’ve personally tested.

Today’s best Garmin watch Black Friday deals in the US
Save $50 on the Garmin Venu 4, which I’m wearing as I type. The Garmin Venu 4 is my “best for most people” pick, as it’s the perfect balance between a dressy smartwatch and a rugged fitness tool, equally at home at the office and on the trail.View Deal
$250 off the five-star Garmin Fenix 8. Given we usually see big discounts on older models, this unusual discount means you can get a terrific up-to-date adventure watch for less. Huge battery life, advanced strength training features in addition to all the adventuring stuff, an LED flashlight… It’s packed with features.
The larger 51mm version has also been reduced by $250, from $1,199 to $949 at Best Buy.View Deal
Save $50 on the new Garmin Vivoactive 6. We recently reviewed the Vivoactive 6 and called it a “feature stuffed pocket rocket”, giving it 4.5 stars and calling it our best cheap Garmin. As it’s so new, we weren’t expecting a discount here. View Deal
The brand-new Garmin Instinct 3 for 2025, our best Garmin watch for outdoors, is $100 off at Best Buy right now in all sizes. The AMOLED screen, new to the Instinct series, glows brightly on dark trails, as does its LED torch. Together with a smorgasbord of features and rugged construction, it’s a watch built for the outdoors. We gave it 4.5 stars in our review.View Deal
The Instinct 3 Solar is functionally the same as the Instinct 3, but it’s slightly cheaper, and it swaps the brighter AMOLED for a duller, G-Shock-style memory-in-pixel display. This screen is more battery efficient and hides Power Glass, which acts as a solar panel to extend the watch’s life. It also comes in this fetching Star Wars clone trooper-esque color design.

Save $100 on our best Garmin watch for runners. New for 2025, it’s got a bright AMOLED screen, a speaker, and a microphone for taking calls on the move, and it packs Garmin Coach, its training plan service – an excellent watch in the neon and yellow colorway.View Deal
The Garmin Approach S70 was rated our best Garmin golf watch and our best golf watch overall because it strikes the perfect balance between affordability (for a premium piece of golf equipment) and features designed to improve your game. At $100 off, it’s an even better value. View Deal
All six of the watches above feature in our guide to the best Garmin watches, so I can personally testify that they’re excellent training companions. The Fenix 8 is obviously the dream, but most users won’t get the best out of many of its features: the Venu 4 is the best pick to strike a balance between performance and value.
Of course, these are only the latest and greatest Garmin watches; many older models are heavily discounted. We put together a comprehensive list of Black Friday Garmin watch deals that we’ll update as Black Friday wraps up and Cyber Monday approaches.
