Apple Airpods (2nd Gen) – $50 off
$159$99Amazon⚡⚡ This is the lowest price AirPods have ever been – this is solid! I use AirPods primarily when I’m travelling just to listen in airports, planes, etc… I don’t tend to use these for workouts due to them falling out. Also, with the wireless charging case for $50 off. Personally, I just use the basic model.Apple Airpods Pro – $80 off!

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the Apple Watch Series 3. While the Series 6 is the new one, the Series 3 has almost all the same features (and still gets all the updates).

$499$299Amazon⚡ Sure, it’s not the latest edition, but the FR935 is the staple of many triathletes and runners, and it still an incredible solid watch. We saw this a bit lower last month on Amazon Prime Day ($239). Also, I say $100-$200 off, because the ‘base’ price fluctuates a bit these days. Sometimes it’s $399 sometimes $499.Garmin Fenix 5X – 50% off
$599$299Amazon⚡ Down to $299 is a substantial deal for the Fenix 5X (non-Plus), so don’t expect much in the way of major firmware updates. But still, at that price it’s solid – incredible really. Note: The Fenix 5X in this series actually does include mapping, whereas the other Fenix 5 (non-Plus) units don’t have it.Garmin Fenix 6 Series – $150 all models

$249$119Amazon⚡Look, this isn’t the latest generation watch (the FR245 is, released last year). But, in terms of a damn-solid running watch, the FR235 absolutely fits the bill. You’ll find it on many runners wrists in running races (ya know, once those happen again).Garmin Forerunner 245 – $50 off
$299/$349$249AmazonREIBoth the Forerunner 245 is on sale for $50 off. While not a huge sale, it’s actually the lowest we’ve seen either product priced to date.Garmin Forerunner 245 Music – $50 off$299AmazonREIBoth the Forerunner 245 Music is sale for $50 off. While not a huge sale, it’s actually the lowest we’ve seen either product priced to date.

$199$149AmazonREIIf you’re looking for a runners focused watch, there’s no better deal on the market than this. Period. The FR45 basically packs all the features of the previous generation FR235…just now in the FR45 series. Seriously, this is a solid deal.Garmin Forerunner 735XT
$349$169Amazon⚡ If one were to have a ‘Yo mama’ joke in here somewhere, the FR735XT has been around longer than Yo Mama, however, at $169…that’s compelling if you just simply want a basic triathlon watch that still supports more sports features than most of its competitors.Garmin Forerunner 935 Tri Bundle- $100 Off$399Amazon⚡ Sure, it’s not the latest edition, but the FR935 is the staple of many triathletes and runners, and it still an incredible solid watch. This bundle includes the HRM-TRI and HRM-SWIM chest straps.Garmin Forerunner 945 – $60 off
$599/599EUR$539AmazonThis is a good deal, in fact, the best deal on the FR945 we’ve seen in 2020. I don’t anticipate this either lasting long, or being bested this weekend.Garmin Foreruuner 35 – $50 off
$169$99AmazonIf you’re looking for a solid budget GPS running watch, it’s hard to go wrong here. Sure, it’s a few years old now, but it’ll track your race just fine and upload to Garmin Connect and all the other Strava-like sites as well.Garmin HRM-DUAL (ANT+/Bluetooth Smart Strap) – $15 off
$69$56Amazon⚡ This is one of my go-to straps these days (ANT+ & two concurrent BLE connections). It’s floated on and off being on sale, but this is about the lowest we’ve seen it.Garmin HRM-PRO – 15% off!
$129$110Amazon⚡ If you’re in the market for the HRM-PRO, this seems like a no brainer to pickup on sale. Sure, it’s not a huge sale, but it just came out and it’s actually on the ‘approved’ list of Garmin sale items, so I suspect this is a short-term Amazon one-off. Take it while its there!Garmin Instinct – $80 off
$299$149Amazon⚡ Sure, the new Solar variants came out this summer with a few new features, but at their core the Instincts are mostly the same. Still, $149 is the lowest price the Instinct has ever been at.Garmin Instinct Solar – $100 off

$249$199AmazonThis is only the 2nd time we’ve seen the Garmin Swim 2 on sale. And as part of my in-depth review I found it easily the most accurate openwater swim watch GPS-wise I’ve ever tested. Which, is good, since most pools seem to be closed these days. :-/Garmin Tactix Charlie – $150 off$599AmazonThe Tactix Charlie is essentially a Fenix geared towards military folks (Amazon Prime Days)Garmin Venu GPS Smartwatch – $100 off!

$129$129Amazon⚡ Obviously this is the previous edition, but dang, it’s still a good price for a great little GPS watch. This has mostly been on sale at this price range for a while now, however, I’ve included it in the list merely because if you’re looking for a deal then this is probably one of the best deals out there.Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music – $50 off
$169$149Amazon⚡⚡ Very solid deal, and remember, this includes Spotify support too!Garmin Vivoactive 4/4S – $40 off
$299$249AmazonREIThis is Garmin’s current offering to compete with the Apple Watch series (alongside the Garmin Venu), and this is a good price, though, not as low as we saw for Amazon Prime Day at $199.Garmin Vivofit Jr. 3 – 25% off$59AmazonSale includes all Vivofit Jr 3 variants.Polar H10 Chest Strap (Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart) – 19% off

$249$174Amazon⚡⚡ These are my daily driver headphones that I use for all my trainer rides, and anything else sport related.
