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 for today and tomorrow (July 11th and 12th). 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.
Watches & Wearables:
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.
There are no deals currently.
Cycling Gear & Trainers:
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.
There are no deals currently.
And then here’s a separate bucket for trainers and indoor bikes:
There are no deals currently.
Action Cameras & Drones:
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.
There are no deals currently.
Other Sports & Fitness:
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.
There are no deals currently.
European Deals!
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.
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!). Still, some of the links above break because Amazon uses umpteen million different SKU codes and aren’t aligned between Amazon countries. Thus you can try the above first, and if it fails, then just type it in manually.
Remember, these deals refresh each day for the most part, and usually only last a few hours. Jump if you see something you like!
There are no deals currently.
DCR Random Gadget List:
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!

With that – thanks for reading, and for supporting the site via the links above.
Euro deal:
Not gopro 11, but 10:

Anyone seeing the $30 coupon for the Garmin Varia RCT715? Not seeing it on the product page or in my cart or anything.
Never mind, found it! Have to click on “other purchase options” to find the right listing with the coupon.
Is the Epix Gen 2, at $600, a better recommendation than the FR 965 at the same price?
Ray, I have the Ooni 16 inch wood fire pizza oven, LOVE IT!!!!
There is definitely a learning curve with dialing in how long to heat it up, how much flame, etc. If you’ve never used a wood fire pizza oven before, then it will take some practice and don’t be surprised if you ruin and burn a few pies before getting it right. Good thing pizza ingredients are cheap!
GoPro’s website has the Hero 11 for $349, including an extra battery & SD card w/o joining or $299 if you’re a GoPro member
Just ordered the Hammerhead Karoo 2 from their website with a promo code that gets you one of their HR monitors for free!
Great price on the 1030.
Quick question… Are there features on the 1040(s) that have NOT makes they’re way to the 1030?
…stupid mobile typos
nm, deal is gone.
De Garmin Edge 130+ is a very good deal also: just € 125 in Europe.
Amazon raised the 1030 Plus’ price to $489.
Garmin has it for $309.99 on their website right now.
Generally speaking, throughout the history of Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Black Friday deals with Garmin specifically, we often see this deal come back within a few mins/hours. It’s almost as if they sold through their allotment, and then need to ring-up Garmin to see if they can get another slice at that price (which, is seriously, how this actually works in some cases).
I’d keep checking the link, I’d bet it’ll be back soon…
Garmin themselves have it for $309 link to garmin.com
The deal is back up and I went through Ray’s link to buy it. Thanks Ray!
Anyone going in on the DJI mini pro 3? Seems like a great deal in the UK
Tried to get on it here in Australia. DJI are offering no discounts at all 🙁
I see the Forerunner 745 for 279.99, seems like quite a deal (lower than the camelcamelcamel lowest)
The Amazon (US) listing for the Garmin Varia RCT715 shows “Bicycle radar” for $349.99 and “Bicycle Radar + seat post mount kit” for $389.08. Pretty sure the RCT715 comes with the same seat post mount kit as shown in the more expensive option. Is that an additional mount kit, on top of what’s already included?
Also look for a Prime Day deal on the Garmin 745 ($125 off). Nice price
The Euro AirTags Are already unavailable
Unfortunately not many of those deals you have listed, made it across to Australia.
Here are my best finds on 2 Garmin watches:
Fenix 7: from $1349 down to $861 (-36%, best I could find and better what you have listed)
Epix Pro (gen2): from $1740 down to $1388
Polar Ignite 3 is also 24% off

Welp, I guess I saved myself almost $700 after tax. Best Prime Day ever!
Saw the 1030+ and Varia RCT deals this morning before I even checked DCR. Started looking at comparisons vs 1040 to see if I could live with the older model, got distracted by work, and now both deals are gone. Fair enough, will continue on just using my Fenix 7X mounted to the handlebars instead. 🙂
Has Garmin made enough updates to firmware or app so the Radar/Camera combo unit is acceptable now?
Would also love to know if the Garmin Varía 715 has improved firmware enough to make accessing video useful.
I still find accessing video clips via the app cumbersome, but since I want to do any viewing and editing on my computer anyway, it’s really no big deal to hook the unit up via USB C cable to browse and find the clips I might want which are time and date stamped.
They have added things like being able to not only have the time, date, GPS location and cycling speed embedded on the video, they now have the speed of the approaching car. Video is fine – was quite handy a couple weekends back to review exactly what happened when one in my cycling group unfortunately hit a curb in a paceline, falling and breaking a hip while a couple following riders went over the top of him.
The Withings Body+ is £59.95 on Amazon UK, but is it worth spending a bit more and getting the newer but equivalent Body Smart? I don’t recall seeing reviews of them here but fully concede that I may have missed them!
Currently have the WS-50 which still works well enough so continuing with that is also an option. Thoughts?
Hey Ray, What are the brands and models of the two watches you are wearing in your Prime Day YouTube video? Thank you
Garmin Epix Pro was the black one, and Apple Watch Ultra was the orange one.
$699 Epix is gone.
I still show the $599 and $699 Epix deals are live. Here’s the direct link to the $699 one (remember, white sapphire only): link to amzn.to
I cannot find the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus deal, does it mean it is out of stock?
You can get it from the Garmin site (US) for $310.
The Samsung T7 Shield 4TB disk is also half off ($199 down from $429) on Amazon. It’s a rugged version of the T7.
I got a real bargain on a Forerunner 255… I’ve been thinking of getting one for a while, as the battery on my 645 runs down pretty quickly these days. The initial Prime price went down to £249, which I’ve seen other retailers (including Garmin) offer it at. Then it came down to £238 and I put it in my basket but slept on it. When I looked again on the second day of the sale it was sitting in my basket at £208, despite following the link back to the product description and seeing it still at £238. I hit the “buy” button pronto and it’s arrived today.
OTOH I did buy a POC helmet in the prime sale but it’s still the same price today, as are a couple of other things I considered but was able to resist impulse purchases. .
In the UK, the Epix Sapphire Black Titanium is available for £599 at John Lewis
Not looking for a deal, but I believe you posted somewhere about the battery pack you use when you are shooting remotely and I can’t find it anywhere. Am I crazy or just not looking hard enough?
Not sure if this was posted anywhere but Running Warehouse has Epix 51 mm and 42 mm for an additional $100 off on top of the $200 discount.
FYI I just saw on the Wahoo site they’re selling the KICKR Core KOM bundle for ~$660 in the US, that’s a KICKR Core and a KICKR Climb. Amazing deal considering REI has the Climb on sale for $559!
