Heads Up – Massive Black Friday Sports Tech Deals List! There are some amazing deals, from the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro at $339, to the Wahoo KICKR V5 for $799, the Apple Watch Ultra at $60 off, and the also-brand new GoPro Hero 11 Black for $100 off.
Plus tons more deals including Apple, Fitbit, Garmin, Google, GoPro, Samsung, Elite, Peloton, Tacx, Wahoo, DJI, Saris, and tons more! Huge savings and constantly updated, all here.
It’s back again – Amazon Prime Day…err…Days. That means that most (all?) Amazon country properties are doing pretty substantial deals across the board on all sorts of products, and that definitely includes sports tech gear. This event is held each summer, usually in July, and often this day has better sports tech deals than even Black Friday does (from an Amazon perspective).
In some ways, a July sale date for sports tech items is timed perfectly. See, typically Black Friday deals are for ‘older’ things, rarely the ‘just announced’ stuff that often comes in the late August to October timeframe (especially cycling trainers and watches). But with Amazon Prime Day being in July, there’s more opportunity for brands to put things on sale for a one-off summer day. Typically speaking though, don’t expect to see things on sale that were announced this year.
To take advantage of Amazon Prime Days you simply need to be an Amazon Prime member. The good news is that you can sign-up for the free trial and cancel later if you don’t find value in it. Just hit up this giant banner below to do so:
I’ve organized all the best sports technology Amazon Prime Days deals (and a few others I’ve found) below in the tables by category. I’ll be updating them throughout the next two days. Keep in mind not all deals last (in fact, most don’t). So if you see something that’s hot, I’d strongly suggest buy now (and return later if need be).
With that, onto the deals! And thanks for supporting the site via the links below. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Enjoy!
Europe Folks Note: This year almost *ALL* of the watch/cycling deals you’ll see in the main lists are available in Europe too! So you can click on those links and it’ll theoretically redirect to the correct Europe store. For the most part, the %-off are the same (a first!). I’m also adding in Europe-only/unique deals to the bottom Europe section too.
This covers anything you can wear that’s watch-like or activity band-like, including sensors. Generally speaking, you’ll mostly find deals here that are on things I’ve written about in the past. So you won’t find a deal on some random non-sports tech watch here, or on socks. Unless the socks have some crazy sensor or something in them.

 | Beats PowerBeats Pro Wireless Sport Headphones - $100 off $249 | $149 | Amazon | ⚡ I like the PowerBeats Pro with the over-the-ear design, for more security in workouts, than my Beats Studio Buds. I use these as well as my Beats Studio Buds (and have used the PowerBeats Pro ones longer). $100 off is a solid deal. | |
 | Beats PowerBeats Studio Buds - $50 off $149 | $99 | Amazon | ⚡I've been using these since last summer (2021), primarily on my indoor workouts, but also on some of my runs (for example, in testing out most watches with music). I like them and they've become my go-to buds. | |

 | Garmin Bounce LTE Kids Tracker - $10 off plus free book | $139 | Garmin Site | This just came out, like, last week. So, $10 off isn't much, but hey, it does come with a free kids sports-focused book. While my review isn't quite out yet, we've been using the Garmin Bounce trackers for a few weeks now with our daughters, and overall it does the job super well. Also, we've been reading the book at night to our girls - they love it. | |
 | Garmin Enduro 2 - $200 off! $1,099 | $901 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is an incredible deal, since this watch just came out three months ago, and is basically the highest end Fenix 7X variant, but with even longer battery life. This is an Amazon-specific sale, not a Garmin one, so I don't expect this to last. | |
 | Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - $100 off $899/$999 | $799 | Amazon | REI | ⚡This is the first time we've seen the Epix on sale! This is Garmin's AMOLED equivalent to the Fenix 7 series, and people continue to be super happy with it since it announced earlier this year. |

 | Garmin HRM-DUAL (ANT+/Bluetooth Smart Strap) - 36% off! $69 | $45 | Amazon | ⚡ 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 Plus - 22% off $129 | $101 | Amazon | ⚡This is the first time we've seen this on sale - and so it's actually pretty notable. I don't even think it's supposed to be on sale, but this is just Amazon doing Amazon. This is one of the two main HR straps i use these days (alongside the Polar H10). Either way, definitely take this and run! | |
 | Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $100 Off | From $249 | Amazon | REI | ⚡This is the first time we've seen the Garmin Instinct 2 series devices (all variants) on sale.

 | Peloton Heart Rate Band - 30% off $89 | $63 | Amazon | Previously, I'd have said the Peloton Heart Rate Band wasn't really worth it at $90 compared to most other options. But at $67 it's basically the same as others, except has the integration with Peloton's Heart Rate Zone (if you have the Peloton app/gear). | |
 | Polar Grit X - 17% off $429 | $357 | Amazon | ||
 | Polar H10 Chest Strap (Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart) - 40% off $89 | $54 | Amazon | ⚡So this has been fluctuating all day between $54 and $75. So it's a bit of luck of the draw. Either way- these are super low prices and great straps. This is one of my main chest straps I use as a reference device in testing. Works great! | |
 | Polar Ignite 2 - 22% off $229 | $179 | Amazon | While the Polar Ignite 3 just came out, this is a reasonable deal on the older model. | |

Got a bike? Then this section is for you. Everything from bike computers to bike lights to trainers, it’s all here. I won’t generally be adding things like brake cables or bike seats here, but if I find a good deal on a cassette to stack on that new direct drive trainer you just bought, I’ll probably list it here.

 | Garmin Edge 1030 Plus - $200 off $599 | $391 | Amazon | ⚡While the newer Edge 1040 came out this past summer, the Edge 1030 Plus is still an incredibly solid bike computer - arguably the 2nd best bike computer (behind the Edge 1040). | |
 | Garmin Edge 1040 Solar - $50 off | $695 | Amazon | This is the first time we've seen the Edge 1040 Solar on sale, so while $50 isn't a huge amount off this device, it is notable. This is Garmin's top-end and just released this past summer, cycling GPS bike computer. | |
 | Garmin Edge 530 Cycling GPS - $50 off! $299 | $249 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This matches last year's Black Friday sale, and is the lowest price to date on the Edge 530. This is one of the main units I use for my day-to-day riding and testing. |
 | Garmin Edge 830 Cycling GPS - $50 off $399 | $349 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ While this isn't a big sale, it's actually the lowest price the unit has been offered in the 3 years since release - matching Black Friday from this past year. |

 | Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $50 off $199 | $149 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's standalone radar/taillight option, and $149 is pretty much the standard sale-price. This product is universally loved, and works with Garmin/Wahoo/Stages/Hammerhead/Bryton, and other bike computers. |
 | Peak Designs Out-Front Bike Mount - 10% off | $62 | Amazon | This i the out-front bike mount we use on our cargo bikes for the Peak Designs case. | |
 | Peak Designs Phone Case - 30% off | $27 | Amazon | ⚡This is the phone case both my wife and I use for our phones, and it's got a bike-mount compatible system. I used to use the Quadlock cases, and those are fine, but I just like how slim these ones are, as well as the fact there's no rotation when unlock it from the handlebars. Plus, I like the cloth-look to it. | |
 | Peak Designs Universal Bar Mount - 10% off | $44 | Amazon | ⚡We use this as a floater bike mount for the Peak Designs case. Sometimes i use it on my road bike, mountain bike, and just commuter bikes. | |
 | Quarq DZero DUB (Road) PM Spider - 40% off | $250 | Amazon | Competive Cyclist | ⚡This is a major deal. SRAM has allowed retailers to put things on sale that were never allowed before, including power meters. This is the road/gravel variant of the MTB one I use (the XX1). |
 | Quarq DZero DUB XX1 PM Spider - 40% off | $449 | Amazon | Competitive Cyclist | ⚡This is a major deal. SRAM has allowed retailers to put things on sale that were never allowed before, including power meters. This is the same exact model I use on my mountain bike. Works well. |
 | Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V1 - $200 off $379 | $199 | Amazon | Competitive Cyclist | ⚡This is the slightly older ROAM V1, which isn't quite as fancy as the new V2. Still, $200 off is a very solid deal, and it, recently got the new Wahoo Summit Segments feature, as well as other features - so it's still getting the majority (if not all) new firmware features. |
Wanna record it? No better way than an action camera. Anything that’s action camera-related or drone-related you’ll find here. That’s especially true of action camera mounts, which are often found for great deals around the holidays. Same goes with drones and drone accessories. Usually a great time to pick up an extra battery or extra props.

 | DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo Edition - 31% off | $359 | Amazon | ||
 | DJI FPV Combo - $300 off! | $899 | Amazon | ⚡This deal is on DJI's larger FPV drone, the original one. They've also got the smaller but less powerful one too - Avata, which isn't on sale. This is for the FPV combo deal, saving you $400. This includes the drone, FPV goggles, and controller. | |
 | DJI Mavic 3 - $150 off $999 | $2,049 | Amazon | This is the second time we've seen the DJI Mavic 3 on sale (for a non-bundled deal). With all the firmware improvements since the fall, it's finally getting to a more stable place in terms of features. Of course, you can also now get the DJI Mavic 3 Classic for a fair bit cheaper, minus the zoom lens. Albeit, I personally think the zoom lens is handy (if used correctly). | |
 | DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo Kit - 40% off | $299 | Amazon | This is a very solid deal, albeit for an older product. Note the price seems to be fluctuating a bit between $299 an $399 - so just keep an eye out for it. | |

 | GoPro Hero 11 Black - $100 off | $449 | Amazon | GoPro HERO11 Black Accessory Bundle - Includes Extra Enduro Battery (2 Total), The Handler (Floating Hand Grip), Headstrap + Quick Clip, and Carrying Case. | |
 | SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB MicroSD Card - 20% off! | $40 | Amazon | ⚡I use this card in both 128GB and 256GB variety (but mostly 256GB nowadays), and it's perfect for all my drones and action cams, easily recording 4K/60 and 5K/30, as well as 5.7K without trouble. I often pick up these cards when on sale like this, so I have them for later in the year when not on sale. // Update: Since this sale has begun, I've bought 6 of these cards to stockpile for future action cam/drone testing. | |
 | Skydio 2+ Battery - Buy one/Get One Free (+$25 discount) | $90 | Skydio Site | This is a pretty impressive deal. This is a $25 discount to $90, then it's buy one, get one free. So $45. Drone batteries are never $45. This is solid! | |
 | Skydio 2+ Starter Kit - $200 off! $999/$1349 | $899 | N/A | Skydio Site | In terms of autonomy and self-following from a drone, nothing beats Skydio today. |
Anything else that’s sports and fitness related that I think is interesting will be here. It may not be super techy – but it’s stuff that most readers will be using in pursuit of their running/cycling/swimming/hiking/whatever.

 | Apple TV 4K (32GB) for Zwift - $50 off | $79 | Amazon | ⚡⚡ I use this for almost all my Zwifting. This is a fantastic deal, which runs Zwift, RGT, FulGaz, Rouvy, and more. While Apple just released their newest version (2022), virtually no cycling apps have taken advantage of it yet. And thus for now, the edition on sale for $79 seems like a steal. | |
 | Apple TV Elago R1 (2021 Edition) Remote Case- 64% off | from $6.39 | Amazon | I use Apple TV for Zwift the vast majority of the time, but also just for watching YouTube/Netflix/etc on the trainer. The Apple TV remote sucks though. This $10 case fixes that, it's a silicone strap that makes it easy to grab, but also has a strap to easily place on the edge of your handlebars. Boom! Note: This one is for Apple TV 4K 2021 Edition! | |
 | CORE Body Temp Sensor - 20% off | $214 | CORE Site | The CORE Body temp sensor measures your body core, and is used by numerous Pro Cycling teams. I haven't gotten a full review up, but have been using it on/off over the last year. It's pretty fascinating stuff. I believe this is the first sale they've had. On the sale side, they also have a bundle with a chest HRM as well that's on sale. | |
 | Frontier X2 Smart Heart Monitor - 26% off | $405 | Amazon | Note: I haven't reviewed this yet. It's on my eventual list. | |
 | Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) - $75 off | $327 | Amazon | REI | This is the first time we've seen this unit on sale, as it only came out earlier this year. It's my defacto satellite communicator when out of coverage area, and I've used it on a number of major treks this year out of cell range already. |
 | Peloton Row - Bundle with $300 in accessories free | $3,320 | Peloton Site | While the Peloton Row just started shipping last week, Peloton has already put a bundle on for sale, inclusive of about $300 in accessories. Well, technically speaking you have to pay $20 extra for those accessories, but hey...close enough. | |
 | RunScribe Red Gait Lab Footpods - 20% off | RunScribe Site | While RunScribe has transitioned from a consumer-focused running efficiency company to more of a pro/labs-focused company, consumers do still buy and use their products. They're offering 20% off for Black Friday. Use discount code RED20. | ||
 | Stryd V2 Running Pod - $41 off | $228 | Stryd Store | Stryd pretty much only puts their items on once a year at Black Friday, so if you're in the market for one, now's the time. This is their latest gen unit that just announced this past fall. | |
 | Therabody Theragun Elite - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | ⚡ This is arguably my wife's favorite sports tech gadget. She uses it pretty much daily. Thus, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this deal. Also, please don't tell her, she might just buy another one... | |
 | Therabody Theragun Mini - 21% off | $159 | Amazon | My wife uses the Theragun Elite, which is a bit larger than this Mini model, and also includes more tips. But, as noted - people seem happy with all these models. | |
 | Therabody Theragun Prime - 34% off | $198 | Amazon | My wife uses the Theragun Elite, which is just slightly more expensive than this model at $299 on sale right now. But hey, I hear good things about all of these. | |
 | Withings Sleep Tracking Pad - 31% off | $89 | Amazon | Fun tidbit: I actually use this. Well, more specifically, I use the far older bedside clock version, but, the sensor is essentially the same. Simply that the new sensor doesn't require a bedside clock anymore. But, if you don't like wearing a wearable to bed, then this will still track all your nighttime stats. |
What’s that? You’re not in the US and still want a deal? No problem! Note that on Amazon Europe deals, generally speaking, you can order from any Amazon European country site (i.e. Amazon France) and have it shipped within the EU (i.e. Spain). Thus, many times deals are duplicated across the sites. I generally try and just distill it down to one.
Remember these deals refresh each day for the most part, and usually only last a few hours. Jump if you see something you like!

| Garmin HRM-DUAL (ANT+/Bluetooth Smart Strap) - 44% off! $69 | €39 | Amazon | ⚡ 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 Index S2 WiFi Scale - €45 off! $149 | €105 | Amazon | ⚡This is a very strong deal, for Garmin's WiFi scale, at some 33% off! | |
| Garmin Instinct 2 Series - €120 Off | €230 | Amazon | ⚡This is the first time we've seen the Garmin Instinct 2 series devices (all variants) on sale. The Instinct 2 base is from ~€230 (on Amazon), a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the last year. | |
| Garmin Varia RCT716 Camera Radar - 30% off! | €281 | Amazon | The RCT716 is simply the STVZO-compliant variant of the RCT715. | |
 | Garmin Varia UT800 Smart/Connected Lights - €68 off! | €101 | Amazon | ⚡ This is a great deal for this awesome little light, especially for €68 off! | |
| Garmin Vivofit Jr. 3 - 38% off | €56 | Amazon | My oldest daughter (6yo) uses this as her daily watch. She's happy with it. | |
 | Lifeline Trainer table - 33% off | €86 | Amazon | Wiggle | This is one of my favorite trainer desks, easily beating the Wahoo KICKR Desk, because it's got wheel locks and water bottle holders. Simple things. |
| Polar Vantage M2 - €110 off $299 | €185 | Amazon | ||
| Suunto 5 Peak - €125 off! $299 | €174 | Amazon | ⚡This is Suunto's mid-range/budget multisport GPS unit, and at this price it's a fantastic deal! | |
| Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V1 - €150 off $379 | €199 | Amazon | ⚡This is the slightly older ROAM V1, which isn't quite as fancy as the new V2. Still, €150 off is a very solid deal, and it, recently got the new Wahoo Summit Segments feature, as well as other features - so it's still getting the majority (if not all) new firmware features. | |
 | Wahoo KICKR Bike V1 - €1,000 off/£1,200 off $3,499 | €2,499 & £1,999 | Wahoo Site | ⚡This is a very solid deal, though, not quite as good of a deal as either the GBP or USD deals, which are even lower for some reason. This is even more notable given the just-announced V2 bike is even more expensive now at 4,000EUR. And frankly, aside from built-in WiFi, there's not much otherwise on the newer V2 bike. I plan to take advantage of this deal and finally buy one for myself, this is astounding. | |
 | Wahoo KICKR V5/2020 - €400 off! $1,199 | €799 | Wiggle | ⚡This is by far the lowest price any Wahoo KICKR has ever been (excluding CORE/SNAP obviously). If you don't care about built-in WiFi, there's little reason to spend €1,299 for the newer V6 unit that came out a few months ago. | |
 | Wattbike ATOM Next Gen - £250 off! $2,599 | £2,149 | Wattbike Site | ⚡This is a solid deal if you're in the market for a Wattbike NG, given they rarely go on sale. | |
 | Wattbike Nucleus - £500 off | £1999 | Wattbike Site |
This is basically the mostly totally unrelated gadgets and things I think are cool deals that I’ve likely bought one or five of (you can never have too many, right)? Some of it’s probably photography stuff. Some of it’s random stuff like chargers and battery packs that I use daily, fun camera gear I use to make videos like sliders and turntables, and well…just random things you’ll find around the DCR Cave. It’s all random…but it’s all awesome randomness!
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Sale Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - $70 off! | $269 | Amazon | I use my iPad primarily for TrainerRoad as well as Zwift when not with a larger display. I also occasionally use it for other apps, namely Wahoo SYSTM, Rouvy, and Peloton. But I pretty much test every smart trainer app on it. For all these cycling apps, the graphics capabilities is really pretty irrelevant, so having the absolute top-end/latest model won't make any difference. I prefer the budget options. |
 | 2021 Apple MacBook Pro (14", M1 Pro) - 20% off | From $1,599 | Amazon | This is the exact model I have and use for almost all my video editing (2021 MacBook Pro with 1TB space,). I actually initially bought a 16" M1 Max variant, and then quickly realized it was totally overkill both in size and spec, so I went back and got the 14" M1 Pro and have been super happy with it - even while editing complex drone/action cam videos with 3-4 concurrently 4K streams in a multicam configuration, it has zero issues. |
 | Google Nest Cam Indoors - 30% off | $69 | Amazon | We have more Nest cam's than I can count. No really, we have half a dozen at the DCR Cave alone, plus more at home. We love them. Nest Cam's really only go on sale about 1-2x per year. |
 | Jackery Portable Power Station - $50 off | $299 | Amazon | This is something I use frequently when shooting out and about and I need to re-charge a crapton of drone batteries, action cameras, or just cameras and such. I also use it on trips to Eurobike and elsewhere to keep equipment charged. I've even bought a solar panel to hook up to it (surprisingly effective). Heck, I've even powered a KICKR trainer ride from it! |
 | Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee & Espresso Kit - 30% off | $118 | Amazon | ⚡ Let's be honest: This place runs on Nespresso (or, well, the knock-off pods we buy). But, the machine is Nespresso. Without it, reviews most definitely would not get done (and certainly not on time). This is a pretty sweet deal if you ask me! |
 | Nest Cam Outdoors - $60 off | $119 | Amazon | We use one of these and so far after I think just about four years, it's working great for us. Love it, and works better than trying to stick a regular Nest Cam out the window (since it'll reflect both during daytime and at night with the IR sensor). |
 | Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Fired Outdoor Portable Pizza Oven - $70 off! | $279 | Amazon | ⚡ I know, I know, I still owe everyone a review. Nonetheless, more than a year later, I love this thing. We use it for more than pizza too, notably steaks (to get a really crispy sear). But a lot of pizza. It's completely portable, even easily fitting on our cargo bike. Note that I went with this model, the cheapest one they make, as I realized that buying the higher-end models that that support gas didn't make much sense for me. I have a gas grill already (and could easily just put a stone on it). Similarly, while a large 16" is appealing, realistically I've found this 12" more than enough for pretty substantial personal pizzas (and it makes it easier to handle). Full in-depth review pretty soon...probably. |
 | Peak Designs Phone Case Tripod - 10% off | $71.95 | Amazon | |
 | Samsung T7 Portable SSD 1-2TB - 36% off | $89 | Amazon | I use a small fleet of these T7 SSD's for various video projects, alongside the Sandisk SSD's. I literally have one of each color, just to keep things simple. They work great for quick storage. Note: Different colors have different sale prices - I don't understand why. |
 | SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SD Cards - 18% off | $51 | Amazon | I use the SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Cards exclusively for all my video/photo shooting on my Panasonic GH5 and Nikon cameras (video and stills), including up to 6K recording with the GH5. I've mostly used 128's, but more and more lately I'm filling up cards faster with higher bitrates, so this sale is gonna have me pickup a bunch of the 256GB ones instead. The 128GB/ 512GB/1TB ones are also on sale too viathe same link. Note that usually I wait till these are about $40-45, so this is a good, but not yet fantastic deal. |
| SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB MicroSD Card - 20% off! | $40 | Amazon | ⚡I use this card in both 128GB and 256GB variety (but mostly 256GB nowadays), and it's perfect for all my drones and action cams, easily recording 4K/60 and 5K/30, as well as 5.7K without trouble. I often pick up these cards when on sale like this, so I have them for later in the year when not on sale. // Update: Since this sale has begun, I've bought 6 of these cards to stockpile for future action cam/drone testing. |

Check out my weekly podcast - with GPLAMA, which is packed with both gadget and non-gadget goodness!
You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds! It’s a nice break from the day to day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2021 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
Garmin HRM Pro is available for €75.99 from Amazon.de, which I find a rather good deal. Though if the rumors are true, Pro Plus should be coming soon.
Pro Plus?
Some info was published before time by Amazon NL. You can find the pics via a simple search. The 5k runner has an article on it as well.
I am sorely disappointed by the HRM Pro. Falling apart after a year of light use. My HRM Tri lasted 5 years.
Look for it on site, just released this week.
I don’t know what it is, but your tables are always utterly broken in RSS readers.
Not a priority, but annoying.
Might be worth adding, Amazon USA has a deal where if you buy a $50 gift card, you get a $12.50 promo credit. So basically $62.50 for $50. These are always the deals I go for, because I’m guaranteed to spend that credit, so basically free money.
Should have waited for prime day on the AppleTV. Instead I took the plunge when Apple offered a $50 gift card. That is a heck of a deal.
Garmin Edge 530 down to £159 again in the UK. I’m pretty sure the 540 is just around the corner but I wonder if £159 is still a good price for the 530?
Same here 😀
I’ve taken a punt 🙂. I’m sure it can do all the things I need it to do (indoor workouts and outdoor navigation).
Yeah, it’s a solid little device. And I wouldn’t fret about potential/not-potential units replacements.
Cheers!
I think £115 for a Varia RTL515 could be classed as a bit of a deal for the UK/EU, surely?
Hi Ray,
Can you update if the 2021 AppleTV graphics are updated since launch date? It was kind of bummer that the graphics were worse than the old AppleTV at launch, but I expect this to be updated? But this is nowhere to be found.
Yes, graphics on Zwift were updated last September for the 2021 Apple TV, now similar to the 2017 Apple TV.
Zwift’s interface was also updated for the buttons on the new (silver) remotes for any of the 4K/HD models (that support apps).
IMO, fixing the UI for the buttons for the new remotes was the bigger deal.
Add the SanDisk SSD to the other items.
Deal of the day for Prime Members: SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD – Up to 1050MB/s – USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 – External Solid State Drive – SDSSDE61-2T00-G25 link to a.co
Very nice catch! One of my favs!
Garmin Fenix 6X Pro 350€ at Amazon.fr
Amazon has Beats Fit Pro earphones (the bud design with the AirPods Pro features) on Prime Day sales… a big step up sound and tech wise from your Beats Powerbeats Studio Buds.
FYI – the US Amazon is actually for the 1030 plus, despite the headline the details show it as the plus.
if you see a good offer (lower price) elsewhere but you can’t order there, try link to bike-components.de
if the item is available there, you can send a price alert and they let you know if they can do something with the price, if it is accepted they send you an code that you can use with your order!
Done yesterday with POC sunglasses and got them for 150 EUR instead of 200 EUR!
Quick question. Instinct 2 or a refurbished fenix 6s pro? i know fenix has maps, music and NFC but instinct 2 has better GPS and heart rate sensor (plus some new features and new training metrics will be added down the road according to your garmin forerunner 255 review). so I guess the question here is newer sensors and features vs maps and other stuff…I’ve never owned a fenix so I don’t really know if those features worth dropping improved training metrics…
Ray, if you were in the market for a do-it-all action cam now would it be a GoPro ten? Are overheating issues solved? Looking for something for bike/paddle board/snorkel/ski…
The Garmin 1030 is the 1030 Plus. I ordered it yesterday and can confirm that I received the 1030 plus.
The Garmin Edge 1030 is a plus bundle. Description says that but not the title. And this is what came to my door today.
I can also confirm the US Amazon Prime Days deal of Garmin Edge 1030 bundle for $449 does include the Edge 1030 plus. I ordered yesterday and received my package today to confirm this. Inside the Amazon listing it says is for 1030 plus and others asked same questions and received answers from Amazon to confirm bundle includes the Edge 1030 plus. Get it while you still can for next 9 hours at $449 which also includes dual HRM and speed and cadence sensors. Other lowest price on Amazon for Edge 1030 plus is $550 without a bundle. I have the Edge 800 and was looking to upgrade to the 830. When saw this deal for 1030 plus bundle, couldn’t pass up the deal and get bigger screen with the 1030 plus. REI is also now selling 1030 plus standalone unit for $479 to compete with Amazon. Don’t pass this Amazon deal up if you are looking for the 1030 plus at a great price that includes extras in the bundle!
Saris has sale on smart trainers, 35%. Obvious caveat company is up for sale and so I suppose future support could be a question. From Ray’s article on that however seemed they were hoping to carry on after sale.
So, Apple just announced new Apple TV devices. This while the 2021 Apple TV 4K 32GB I bought from Amazon sale last week ($105) just arrived and is still in the box.
Is it worth returning and upgrading to the new, faster WiFi model for $129 or even the $149 model with Ethernet now?
The one I have does have network connection I might use. How crucial is that compared to CPU? I’m guessing many if not most people just use WiFi
