My name is Dan and I lead our coverage of wearable fitness technology including smartwatches, smart rings and fitness trackers. I also look after our wearables buying guides, ensuring roundups of the top Fitbits, Garmin watches and cheap fitness trackers remain up to date. When I'm not writing, you can find me out hiking, biking, snowboarding or kayaking suited up from head to toe in the latest gorpware and fitness gadgets, all in the name of testing (and fun).

Garmin's entry-level running watch is the best Garmin watch for beginners thanks to high-end training tools, digestible metrics, impressive battery life, accurate GPS and a bright screen that's easy to see in sunlight. This is all delivered in a comfy, sporty, lightweight package.

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. 

Garmin Forerunner 955: was $499 now $449 @ Amazon

The Forerunner 955 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 Forerunner 955 sometimes drops below $350 so it might be worth waiting for Black Friday, but this is a handy discount on a great watch.

Garmin Instinct 2S Solar: was $399 now $349 @ Amazon

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. 

Garmin Epix 2: was $899 now $549

While it's not the lowest price the Epix 2 has ever dropped to, this is still a great deal on one of the best AMOLED sports watches available, especially as its the titanium version of the Epix 2, which has multi-band GPS and a sapphire screen as upgrades over the steel model.

Garmin Enduro 2: was $1099 now $765 @ Amazon

The Garmin Enduro 3 recently launched and offers some upgrades on the Enduro 2, including an improved heart rate sensor. However, the two watches offer a similarly-exellent sports tracking experience overall, and the Enduro 2 is heavily-reduced on Amazon right now, making it the better value pick.
