 | AmazFit T-Rex 3 - $80 off | $199 | Amazon | This is a solid deal, especially for a watch that has offline mapping. |
 | Amazfit Active 2 - $20 off | $79 | Amazon | |
 | Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $100 off | $149 | Amazon | ⚡ Both myself and my wife have been using these since last fall, after years of using the Beats Studio Buds...man, these things rock. Sure, they're good for sports, but frankly, I use them on planes, editing, and such more than anything else. In fact, I've been listening to them now for 8 hours as I type away on my flight across the ocean. Only briefly putting them in the case to top-up. |
 | Apple Airpods (4th Gen) - $40 off! | $99 | Amazon | |
 | Apple Watch Series 10 - $120 off
$399/$499 (cellular) | $279 | Amazon | ⚡ This is by far the lowest price we've seen to date for the Apple Watch Series 10. Of course, we're probably only 60 days away from an Apple Watch Series 11, but Apple has alreay announced WatchOS 26 last month, which the Series 10 gets all the new features from. |
 | Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Titanium - $150 off | $649 | Amazon | ⚡ This is the lowest price on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 we've seen to date. It's likely we'll see an Apple Watch Ultra 3 this September, but like the Apple Watch Series 10 above, WatchOS26 has already been announced and all the new features there go to the Ultra 2. |
 | Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - $70 off!
$249 | $179 | Amazon | |
 | FORM Smart Swim 2 Goggles - $50 off | $229 | Amazon | |
 | Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch - $100 off | $129 | Amazon | This is (by far) the lowest price we've seen on this watch to date. This is their first full smartwatch focused on kids activity tracking and gamification. |
 | Fitbit Charge 6 - 38% off!
$159 | $99 | Amazon | ⚡ This is the go-to sale price for the Fitbit Charge 6. It happens often, but it still doesn't take away from the fast that it's argueably the best bang for your buck fitness tracker out there. |
 | Garmin Epix Pro Series - $200 off!
$899/$999 | $609 | Amazon | I believe this is the lowest price we've seen for the Epix Pro series (which has an ECG-capable HR sensor). Note that while some sites might tout $500+ off, in reality, this watch has been floating around $800 recently. |
 | Garmin Epix Sapphire/Titanium (Gen 2) - $400+ off! | $469 | Amazon | ⚡ This continues to be one of the best deals out there. While this watch won't be getting much in the way of big ticket new features, it does continue to get minor software updates - and for the money, has far more software features than any of Garmin's competitors (or for that matter, products like the Instinct 3 AMOLED lineup). |
 | Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Solar - $100-$200 off
$799+ | $499 | Amazon | ⚡ This is the lowest price we've seen to date for the Fenix 7 Pro series, and is a very strong deal! |
 | Garmin Fenix 8 Series - $100 Off!
$999-$1,199 | $899 | Amazon | While not as good as last month's $200 off, that annual spring sale price won't likely be seen again till Black Friday-ish type sales. Thus, if you want a Fenix 8 for the summer, might as well take the $100 off and put it towards ice cream. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 (Base) - $75 off!
$249/$299 | $219 | Amazon | |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255/255S - $100 off | $199 | Amazon | This is the lowest price we've ever seen the Forerunner 255 at. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off!
$349/$399 | $249 | Amazon | This is the lowest price on this watch to date (previous low was $299). |
 | Garmin Forerunner 265 Series - $50 off!
$449 | $399 | Amazon | |
 | Garmin Forerunner 55 - A Few Dollars Off
$199 | $169 | Amazon | Honestly, I just put this one in there, merely to point out you shoudn't buy it at this price. Buy the FR255 at $30 more, far better watch.
This thing should be priced at $129 or something to move units. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 955 - $150 off! | $349 | Amazon | ⚡ This has been one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's down to a very strong price. I often use this in my accuracy testing comparisons when validating other watches, due to it's very strong GPS performance. Note this is the base edition without solar. It'd be hard to find any better deal in sports watches today, from any company (given this has full mapping, tons of new features even this week, etc...). I say '$100ish', because it's usually been on forever sale at $499. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar: $150 off!
$499/$599 | $399 | Amazon | See everything I said above on the Forerunner 955 base, except this one also has solar. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 965 - $50 off
$599 | $549 | Amazon | This had been $499 for much of the spring, so $549 isn't that great of a deal. |
 | Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $75 Off | $169 | Amazon | ⚡I believe $169 is the lowest price we've ever seen for the Instinct 2. Or at least, I have no record of it being sub-$199. Very solid deal for a solid little watch. |
 | Garmin Instinct 2 Solar | $266 | Amazon | |
 | Garmin Instinct 2S & 2S Solar | $217 | Amazon | |
 | Garmin Lily 2 - 20% off
$249 | $199 | Amazon | The leather version is also on sale as well. |

$299 | $249 | Amazon | |

$449 | $399 | Amazon | |

 | Garmin Venu Sq 2 - $100 off
$249/$299 with Music | $149 | Amazon | |
 | Garmin Vivoactive 5 - $110 off!
$299 | $189 | Amazon | This is a great deal for Garmin's little-sibling to the Venu series. It has almost all the same features as the Venu 3, except the voice calling related bits. |
 | Google Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) - $100 OFF | $299 | Amazon | |
| Google Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) - $100 OFF | $249 | Amazon | |
 | Oura Ring 4 - $50 off! | $299 | Amazon | This is the first time we've seen a deal on the Oura Ring V4. |
 | Polar H10 Chest Strap (Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart) - 27% off
$89 | $76 | Amazon | This is a great dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart (with two Bluetooth Smart connections) chest strap that you'll often find me using as a reference strap in heart rate sensor testing. We only tend to see deals on it around Black Friday, always topping out around 20%. |
 | Polar H9 Chest Strap - $15 off | $55 | Amazon | If you're looking for a good solid high-quality strap, that does both ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart, for a reasonable price...look no further than the Polar H9 |
 | Polar Verity Sense - 15% off
$99 | $84 | Amazon | I use this as one of my reference devices for heart rate accuracy testing. |
 | SHOKZ OpenRun Headphones - 31% off | $89 | Amazon | |
 | SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 - 31% off! | $124 | Amazon | |
 | SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 Mini - 31% off! | $124 | Amazon | |
 | SUUNTO Aqua Swimming Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones - 22% off! | $139 | Amazon | |
 | Samsung Galaxy Ring - $115 off | $284 | Amazon | |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (40 & 44mm) - 50% off | $159 | Amazon | As with the Samsung Watch Ultra, Samsung is less than 24hrs away from announcing a new version of the Samsung Watch series. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra - 50% off | $325 | Amazon | Look, Samsung is less than a day away from likely announcing a new version (on July 9th), so if you buy now, you might want to wait a few extra hours after delivery to decide if you want to return it. Otherwise, this is Samsung's best watch to date. |
 | Sennheiser Momentum Sport Earbuds - $60 off | $129 | Amazon | |
 | Suunto Race - $100 off!
$449/$549 | $349 | Amazon | ⚡ This is a solid deal on this watch, which has offline mapping and continues to get new features. Further, it's the lowest price we've seen to date on it. |
 | Suunto Vertical - $200 off! | $399 | Amazon | This is, by far, the lowest price we've seen on this watch (which also has offline mapping). |
Deer Ray and other fine folks- talk me out of buying a 945. My existing watch is dying and was planning on waiting for the 955 – but the 945@399 seems like a pretty dang good deal and instant gratification thanks to prime shipping.
Yeah, the 945 at $399 is a very solid deal for sure. Though, I’d be slightly more inclined to get the FR945 LTE for $50 more, even if you have no LTE plans, as it’s still receiving notable firmware updates/features, and is seen as a different generation than the FR945 base
Any idea if the tacx motion plates will be included in any deals soon? Thanks.
It’ll basically come down to REI listing them. At this point, they have listed them (kinda surprising to be honest). In much the same way that the new Garmin RCT715 isn’t showing as listed yet either for REI. If it does, it’d actually be considered on sale here too.
CompetitiveCyclist.com also does 20% off sales usually around now (not yet though), but they usually exclude all Tacx items.
Currys in the UK had the Venu 1 for 70 quid in stores last week or so. Mate got one but sadly I was too slow…
20% off of Bontrager Wavecell helmets at REI using ANNIV22 coupon if you are a member.
Just in time after a crash on my MTB
Question: is it time to replace my Fenix 5? I feel like the distance is markedly off from routes that I create on Strava and record on my iPhone.
Zwift Store has a clearance sale with Elite Direto XR for $600, Suito-T for $480, and Sterzo for $75. Also if you prefer wheel-on, the KICKR Snap is $300. See

Garmin Canada sent a promo email with a bunch of sale items: link to garmin.com
REI has the Garmin 66i GPS with InReach on sale for 20% off – $600 list less $150.
I don’t think I have seen the 66i on-sale before.
Maybe I should have waited to buy my Saris now instead of the March sale. :-(
Ray, with the 30% off discount, and the state/saturation of the higher end trainer market, does this mean that Saris might be exiting?
No, I don’t think they’re exiting. My guess is they’ve just got a massive glut of inventory they want to simmer down a bit.
Interesting catch on the 66i, I’ll get it added in.
REI lists the Kickr Climb at $700 thus a 20% discount is $560. Seems like the retail price jumped from $599 to $699 very recently. That’s a 17% jump. Kind of odd.
Any idea why?
Huh, that is odd. Good catch. Not sure why. Perhaps some specific part in there has shot up in price since.
Garmin lists a mail in rebate on their website for certain products. I’m about to find out if they are stackable with REI’s discount.
I was thinking the same thing. Conditions don’t seem to exclude someone else discounting them:
“Rebate may not be combined with any other offer directly from Garmin.”
Would love to hear if they stack.
Hacking this comment thread for help – @Ray, IIRC the last Peloton bikes you bought you either went crazy in a Vegas hotel room with a multitool or had it delivered in Germany and then rode back to Amsterdam: are those the only options to get a bike in a non officially open country (in my case, France)?
Sadly still the only options. The CEO recently announced further planned international expansion, but no clear timelines on that, or to which countries. :(
I am in the market for a new Garmin watch. I got my old 935 in similar deal. But the watches these days…, i am not excited. They are showing their age, they will most likely not receive any major updates and I guess we will see a major push feature wise with the new models in June/July. Prices on the old watches are high even with these discounts, considering the hardware itself is most likely less than 50 $ and all the development has surely been written off completely over the time. It feels not completely right, more like “milking” it. 945 might be okay but 399 still feels very expensive for such an old model.
Any chance the Garmin Varia RTL515 Radar Tail Light will be replaced soon with an updated, improved model? I don’t see the value of the 715 for me.
Not sure there.
fenix 6 for $299 on Amazon should be listed, I think.
link to amazon.com
Very solid deal. Just added in. Thanks!
Fenix 6 is back to $700+ on Amazon. This is what I get for not checking DCR earlier in the week.
Hi Ray,
it looks like the rumors were right and there might be a new Forerunner coming soon after all.
On an unrelated note – will we see a review of DJI Action 2? I know that you always refer to it as a dumpster fire of a camera, but surely it can’t be that bad in every aspect.
I don’t suspect I’ll do a full review of the DJI Action 2 at this point. But I do have a few small follow-up videos that I show recently on it, that I just need to finish editing (almost done actually).
I still don’t recommend it. Even at $199 (a price far below the current price), I’d struggle to recommend it.
Ugh, that’s a good deal on the 1030. Sure wish I knew when the rumored 1040 was coming out…lol.
Yup, same. I refuse to buy any device that still uses microUSB. Garmin finally got around to updating the Varia to USB-C – I gotta hope the 540/840/1040 are only a few weeks away.
I Think 1040 has come out.
The DJ Mavic 3 hyperlink links to your review of the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom.
Doh, thanks!
Hmm. Was hoping to pick up the Garmin Epix at a Black Friday sale for a few hundred off. Now i wonder if will even be on sale.
That’s a tough one. I could see it going either way. Historically we have seen $150 off sales for BF for the Fenix lineup (which Epix falls under). But whether or not the decide to do that this fall would really depend on how they’re doing in terms of not just stock/sales for the Fenix/Epix lineup, but also how they’re doing for chipsets/supplies to make other units. If things are tight, they might not put these devices on sale if people are going to buy them anyway.
?? The Garmin 6 is on sale 38% off. The 6S is only discounted 9%!! What gives??
In this case, the $300 sale is basically just an Amazon sale. Meaning, Amazon has a boatload of inventory, and is doing their own dance.
I was also planning on waiting for the new forerunner 955, but this is tempting. Any idea when/if a new forerunner 955 will be coming out?
June 1, they are going to make it public.
And the sale must be reducing inventory. My probe of Amazon has the F6 at -10% now.
I just read that the GoPro Hero 10 Black with spare battery and dual charger is $399 at Amazon.
There is a FR 745 at € 341,99 on TradeInn
Garmin’ s Vivoactive 4 silver face is on sale at Amazon foe $235. Price goes up to $280 for the black version.
Just pulled the trigger on the 945 LTE. I didn’t want to wait for the 955 as they are going to be more expensive than $449, I paid for the 945 LTE. The 945 LTE is not that old to stop receiving updates. I am going to keep it unless 955 is too compelling and not too expensive.
First non-trainer-based power meter. Thank you!
FYI, the REI link for the POWRLNK pedals is broken.
Any Father’s Day deals on Trainers, this year?
