Beloved tech brand Garmin is having a massive sale on over 25 items for its birthday this week, with discounts of up to $300 off. We’ve particularly got our eyes on the\u00a0Fenix E – 47mm AMOLED adventure watch<\/a>, which is now 38% off at $500. This promotion is only available until Sunday, Oct. 5, so don’t wait if you’ve been thinking about buying or gifting some top-notch outdoor tech.<\/p>\n Also:\u00a0The best Garmin watches you can buy: Expert tested<\/a><\/p>\n Garmin’s products aren’t cheap, but this special promotion makes them more affordable. There are several discounted watches available. We’ve reviewed and loved several Garmin models, like the Venu X1<\/a>, Vivoactive 6<\/a>, Lily 2<\/a>,\u00a0Bounce<\/a>, Fenix 8<\/a>, Instinct 3<\/a>, Descent G1<\/a>, and Forerunner 55<\/a>. There’s also other tech on sale, like the InReach Mini 2<\/a>; an SOS satellite communicator with navigation and 2-way text messaging even without cell service, the Varia Radar<\/a>; a compact bike radar tail light that lasts six hours in solid or night flash mode and 15 hours in day flash mode, and the Approach G80<\/a> golf handheld, which calculates advanced swing metrics and includes a ton of gaming modes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also:\u00a0This Garmin golf watch has a feature I now can’t swing without<\/a><\/p>\n What I love about Garmin’s watches is how there’s a perfect fit for everyone looking for a device with sports training or GPS capabilities. The\u00a0Bounce<\/a>\u00a0is one of our top picks for the Best GSP smartwatches for kids, the Lily 2<\/a> is excellent for tracking women’s health metrics and includes an integrated GPS and advanced tracking with week-long battery life, and the\u00a0Forerunner 55<\/a>\u00a0is a godsend for runners, including “PacePro guidance, finish time estimator, cadence alerts, and recovery time,” according to expert Matthew Miller.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you’ve been considering upgrading to or investing in Garmin watches<\/a>, now is the perfect time. But stock will dwindle fast — so don’t wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n Looking for the next best product? Get expert reviews and editor favorites with\u00a0ZDNET Recommends<\/a>.<\/p>\n How I rated this deal\u00a0<\/p>\n Garmin rarely offers discounts this significant (or on so many items at once), so this promotion is definitely not one to sleep on. While not every item is knocked down by $300, almost every watch is discounted by at least $100, though many different colors and styles will likely sell out. That’s why I gave these offers a 3\/5 editor’s deal rating.<\/p>\n These deals will end on Sunday, Oct. 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n We aim to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
