The Forerunner 255 is one generation removed from the latest model but it's still a mighty capable watch with lots of useful features for athletes, including onboard storage for music so that you can leave your phone at home while running or working out. It also features a tracking mode for triathletes, reliable dual-band GPS and a nifty breadcrumb navigation feature, which is perfect for hikers.

One of my all-time favorite Garmin wearables is also "a near-perfect GPS smartwatch for outdoor sports enthusiasts," as noted in our review. The Instinct 2 comes in several varieties, including a solar-powered one, which you'll find further down the page. While the standard Instinct 2 can't be charged via the sun, it does last a jaw-dropping 28 days. And like all the Garmin watches here, you're getting rock-solid GPS tracking and loads of fitness tools in a comfortable and sporty package.

This very well may be the deepest discount I've ever seen on the Forerunner 955, which is the predecessor to "the best Garmin we ever tested," the Forerunner 965 (as noted in our Best Garmin guide). Despite being one generation out, the 955 is up to date with all of the brand's best software features, like maps, top-notch sports tracking and training analysis, and smart features including music and NFC payments.

The Instinct 2 comes in two case sizes, and as noted above, both with and without solar charging capabilities. The smaller 40mm model is ideal for more petite wrists or folks who simply prefer less bulk. With enough sunlight, this solar-powered model can in theory last forever, though you may still need to toss it on the charger once or twice a year. It's also rugged-built with 100 meters of water resistance, making it a top pick for outdoor lovers.
