As someone who's run five marathons (and countless training miles in between), I've learned the value of having one of the best Garmin watches on my wrist to keep track of my pace, heart rate, and more. And, as the Fitness editor for Tom's Guide, it's quite literally my job to review the newest gadgets on the market. 

Whether you're looking to upgrade your Garmin watch or buy one for the first time, these Black Friday deals are a good time to shop. We're already seeing some great deals, like the Garmin Epix 2, which was $799 but is now $449 at Amazon. You can also find discounts on the Garmin Fenix 7 and the Garmin Forerunner 265 and Garmin Forerunner 965 watches. 

Below, I've hand-picked the deals worth shopping today, and I'll be keeping this page updated over the Black Friday weekend. 

Today's best Garmin Black Friday deals

Garmin Forerunner deals

The Garmin Forerunner series is designed for runners. It starts with the entry-level Forerunner 45/55, then there's the mid-tier Forerunner 265 (and the older 245), and the top of the line Forerunner 965 (and older 745) that is packed with some of Garmin's most advanced training features.

The Forerunner 265 is Garmin's mid-level Forerunner, with a beautiful AMOLED touchscreen and some of Garmin's most advanced training metrics. It's a fantastic little watch, and comes in two different sizes - the Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 265S. 

Garmin Forerunner 965: was $599 now $549 @ Amazon
Best for triathletes:

Garmin Forerunner 965: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=45724&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BS1TP8TJ%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">was $599 now $549 @ Amazon
Best for triathletes:
The Garmin Forerunner 965 packs a bright, beautiful OLED display, accurate heart rate and GPS tracking, and excellent integration with the Garmin Connect app. In our <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/garmin-forerunner-965" data-link-merchant="tomsguide.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">review, we said this is the ideal watch to get if you want a premium training watch with a large screen. However, there's no ECG sensor or support for wireless charging.

Garmin Forerunner 45: was $199 now $134 @ Amazon

Garmin Forerunner 45: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=45724&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FGarmin-Forerunner-Running-Training-Support%2Fdp%2FB07QZT6KRD%2Fref%3Dsr_1_3%3Fkeywords%3Dgarmin%26qid%3D1697706261%26sr%3D8-3%26ufe%3Dapp_do%253Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0%26th%3D1%26tag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">was $199 now $134 @ Amazon
Want to get a running watch, but don't want to spend a lot? Then the Forerunner 45 is your best option. It has great battery life and a nice big screen. It's perfect for new runners as well as veterans who are looking for an economical option. Check out our <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/us/garmin-forerunner-45,review-6451.html" data-link-merchant="tomsguide.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Garmin Forerunner 45 review to see if this is the best fit for you.

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: was $349 now $149@ Amazon

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=45724&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FGarmin-Forerunner-Smartwatch-Advanced-Dynamics%2Fdp%2FB07QLVHBLF%2Fref%3Dsr_1_9%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">was $349 now $149@ Amazon
The Forerunner 245 Music is the older version of the Garmin Forerunner 265, but don't let this put you off. It's still an excellent watch, with plenty of Garmin's advanced training metrics, and while it doesn't have a touchscreen, we'd argue that doesn't make all that much of a difference, as you'll disable it during workouts anyway.

Garmin Fenix 7 deals

The Fenix 7 is Garmin's top of the line adventure watch, released in January 2022. There's also the Fenix 7 Pro, that was released a few months ago, which has Garmin's newest heart rate sensor and a built-in flashlight.

The Fenix 7 is Garmin's top-tier adventure watch, and the smaller version (the 42mm 7S) just dropped to $499 in this early Black Friday deal. This is a great price for the solar edition of the watch, that can use the sun's power to re-charge on the go.

This is Garmin's newest Fenix, with a built-in flashlight, and solar charging.

Garmin Epix deals

The Garmin Epix is like the glamorous version of the Fenix, with a bright, beautiful AMOLED screen, although this does mean the battery life isn't quite as impressive, and that there are no solar charging options. 

Garmin Epix 2: was $799 now $449 @ Amazon

Garmin Epix 2: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=45724&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09NML7BF7%2Fref%3Ds9_acsd_al_bw_c2_x_2_%3Fth%3D1%26tag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">was $799 now $449 @ Amazon
The Garmin Epix 2 is currently on sale on Amazon, discounted to $449. The watch comes in three different colorways, but it’s the slate steel design on the black band that is the cheapest. The black titanium and white titanium models are also on sale, but are slightly more expensive. Don’t hang around — this deal is bound to sell out quickly.

Another new watch, the Garmin Epix Pro has the same bright screen as the Epix, but has a built-in flashlight, and Garmin's latest heart rate monitor. At $684, this is almost the cheapest we've seen the watch drop.

Garmin Enduro deals

The Enduro is a top-of-the-line adventure watch - if you're climbing Everest, this is the watch you'd have on your wrist. If you're not, you probably won't use half of the features on this watch, and are better off shopping the Epix or Fenix lines. 

Garmin Enduro: was $1,099 now $799 @ Amazon

It doesn't get more premium than the Garmin Enduro. This adventure watch has a monster battery life, as well as all of Garmin's top mapping and ski features, and a super-bright LED flashlight, that's twice as bright as that used on the Fenix 7. Plus, at $799, it's a great price.

FAQs

Will Garmin have a Black Friday sale, and when will it be?

Yes! We normally see sales from Garmin directly as well as third party retailers. This year, Black Friday falls on November 24, with sales running throughout the weekend to Cyber Monday on November 27.  

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a Garmin Watch?

In a word, yes! Last year we saw discounts on some of the newest watches on the market, not just last year's stock. This year we can expect deals on watches like the Garmin Fenix 7, and hopefully some of the brand's Forerunner lines.
