Forget Amazon, the best Garmin smartwatch deals are on REI — 3 deals I'd buy right now

Garmin Forerunner 255: was $350 now $249
The Forerunner 255 has since been replaced by the 265 but the upgrades are minimal, aside from a brighter, touch-sensitive display. More importantly, the 255 boasts a 14-day battery, multisport tracking, accurate GPS, Garmin Pay and plenty of health sensors.

Garmin Instinct 2: was $300 now $249
One of my all-time favorite Garmin wearables is also "a near-perfect GPS smartwatch for outdoor sports enthusiasts," as noted in our review. This brightly-colored bad-boy is tough-built with 28 days of battery, reliable GPS and lots of fitness tracking tools. If Electric Lime is too much for you, it also comes in Graphite. 

Garmin Epix Gen 2: was $900 now $599
The Garmin Epix Gen 2 is among the priciest fitness-focused smartwatches available, so it's nice to see a sizable discount offered. There's much to like with a large, bright display, tons of tracking tools, truly epic battery life, and a decent serving of smart features. An attractive metal bezel adds to the Epix Gen 2's appeal, however, the device is on the chunky side.
