Prime Day Garmin deals
Garmin Instinct 2S Solar: was $399 now $225 @ QVC
The Instinct 2 comes in four versions including this 40mm model with solar charging. It's "a near-perfect GPS smartwatch for outdoor sports enthusiasts" we note in our Instinct 2 review. This is thanks to 100 meters of water resistance, a rugged design, and a battery that lasts a month or more without needing a recharge, as long there's adequate sunlight.
Garmin Instinct 2S Camo Edition: was $349 now $217
The smaller 40mm Instinct 2S has best-in-class battery life, loads of useful adventure tracking tools, sleep and health monitoring tech, and a tough-built, lightweight design.
Garmin Forerunner 265S: was $449 now $384
The Garmin Forerunner 265 is the best overall Garmin watch for most people thanks to a bright and well-saturated screen, impressive battery life, accurate GPS, useful wellness monitoring tech, helpful fitness insights, and advanced training/recovery metrics. It also comes in two sizes; this is the smaller model.
Garmin Forerunner 255 Music: was $399 now $329
The Forerunner 255 is an older watch, but perhaps the best value option in Garmin's entire range for runners and triathletes. It has reliable dual-band GPS tracking, extensive training analysis and good battery life, along with music storage and breadcrumb navigation.
Garmin Forerunner 955: was $499 now $449
The Forerunner 955 is always a watch to look for in sales, because despite the fact Garmin has launched the newer Forerunner 965, the 955 is up to date with all of the brand's best software features and it's incredible value at this Prime Day price. It has maps, top-notch sports tracking and training analysis, and smart features including music and NFC payments.
