Prime Day may be over — but these 5 Garmin watch deals are still too good to pass up

The Garmin Forerunner 55 has been in the brand's lineup for quite a few years (and was recently replaced by the Forerunner 70). Unlike most of the other watches on this list, it doesn't feature a flashy AMOLED screen or even a touchscreen at all. It also doesn't have NFC or music storage, but what it does offer is outstanding fitness tracking reliability and excellent battery performance in an easy-to-use, rugged, comfy, no-frills package.

The Forerunner 165 was recently replaced by the newer Forerunner 170 (which is also on sale; see below), but it remains a very good smartwatch for the money, especially at this price. You don't get as advanced training and recovery features as the newer model, but the Forerunner 165 is an attractive, reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting smartwatch nonetheless, especially for beginner runners.

The Vivoactive 6 is one of Garmin's lightest, thinnest, and comfiest smartwatches. It also balances legit fitness tracking chops with support for useful smart features like onboard music storage, NFC payments, and live location sharing. The display is bright and crisp, while battery life is good for up to a week. Choose from several eye-catching colors.

The Forerunner 170 is Garmin's latest mid-tier smartwatch for runners. Impressively lightweight and comfortable, it boasts a bright touchscreen paired with five physical buttons, support for many of the brand's most advanced training and recovery features, onboard music storage, and super-reliable tracking performance.

The Instinct 3 is the best Garmin smartwatch for battery life and my favorite model in the brand's current lineup. Tough-built with rock-solid tracking accuracy, the Instinct 3 also supports just about any outdoor activity you could think of. This is why it's my go-to on-wrist companion for cycling, hiking, snowboarding, climbing, and more.
