 | Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $100 off | $153 | 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.

 | Garmin Enduro 3: ~$50 off!
$899 | $851 | Amazon | | This is the first time we've seen this on sale, and I suspect this is a transient Amazon sale. The Enduro 3 is basically the 'cheaper' Garmin Fenix 8 with a MIP display (but without the scuba or voice calling features). |
 | Garmin Epix Pro Series - 20% off!
$899/$999 | $649 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Epix Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back (Epix as a brand was merged into the Fenix 8 branding). Still, if you don't care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal. |

$249/$299 | $199 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date, and argueably one of the best deals this Black Friday in terms of runners watches and bang for the buck. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 Music - $50 off! | $249 | Amazon | | This is the first time we've head a meaningful sale on the Forerunner 165, released earlier this year, down to $249 for the Music edition, and $199 for the non-music edition. |

 | Garmin Forerunner 955 - $100ish off! | $399 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is 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, so $399 is a strong price, though, it dipped to $319 for Amazon Prime Day. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 965 - $100 off! | $499 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price we've seen ever on the Forerunner 965, since it's launch. It's still Garmin's top-end Forerunner watch, and I expect it to stay that way for a while. It's one I often use in comparative testing as a reference device. |
 | Garmin HRM-FIT - $15 off
$149 | | Amazon | | Look, this isn't much of a discount, but it's the first discount we've seen to date...so...better than nothing. |
 | Garmin HRM-PRO Plus - 20% off
$129 | $103 | Amazon | | A solid little deal for this strap, if you're in the Garmin ecosystem and want a dedicated chest strap. This strap is one of the two straps I use constantly for other HR sensor accuracy comparisons (alongside Polar H10) |

 | Oura Ring Gen 3 - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | | While Oura just released their Gen 4 ring (which I'm currently testing), I'll be frank, there's virutally no real-world difference to Gen 3. About the only notable thing is the battery life difference (which is legit 7 days now, versus real-world 4-5 on Gen3). Otherwise, same-same. |
 | Polar Verity Sense - 15% off
$99 | $84 | Amazon | | I use this as one of my reference devices for heart rate accuracy testing. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Ring - $50 Amazon Gift Card Included | $399 | Amazon | | Not a straight discount, but Amazon gift card is basically cash for most of us. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (40 & 44mm) - $100 off! | $202 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is a very solid deal for one of Samsung's best watches to date, and also just released this summer. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra - $215 off! | $434 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is by *FAR* the lowest price we've seen on this brand new watch. This scored very well in my accuracy tests, as well as battery testing. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - Just a crapton off | $120 | Amazon | | |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic - $200 off | $199 | Amazon | | I'd probably go with the Samsung Watch 7, unless you *really* want the physical bezel (which admittedly, is a heck of a lot better than the touch bezel on the Watch 7). Either way, this is a very solid price. |
 | Scosche RHYTHM+ 2.0 ANT+ & Bluetooth HR Monitor
$79 | $39 | Amazon | | This isn't the newest chicken on the block, but for $39?!?! That's a solid deal for something that's actually pretty darn accurate. Really accurate. |
 | Suunto Race - $50 off! | $399 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Suunto Race. That said, keep in mind the Suunto Race S is $349, has the same software and a *MUCH* better optical HR sensor. Though, is a bit smaller and slightly less battery life. Still, great watches. |
 | Suunto Race Titanium - $50 off! | $499 | Amazon | | |
 | Suunto Vertical (Solar edition) - $150 off | $549 | Amazon | | This unit continues to get all the most current updates, and is Suunto's MIP-enabled device with dual-frequency GPS and mapping. |
 | Whoop 4.0 with 1-year subscription - 17% off | $199 | Amazon | | This brings down the 1-year price to $17/month, which is the lowest it's been (only way to get that is normally a 24-month membership). |
Thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks Ray for this as always, some okay UK deals too.
Drone wise, worth mentioning the HoverAir X1 which is 26% in the UK today.
Also Nanoleaf is around 36% off – good for the pain cave.
Awesome, good catch – adding in!
Forerunner 955 is also on sale
Yup, good catch! I had it in there, but didn’t apparently hit save. Fixed!
I currently have a 245 and am looking to upgrade to one of these. Which would you recommend? I really like the 245, but looking for a slightly larger screen, better battery, and some more “sports” activity profiles (football, tennis, hiking, etc.). Is the 955 worth it in this regard, or should I just go with the 255?
Form goggles 1 gen is 140€ in Europe. It should be a similar discount for the US as well.
Doh, good catch – had an e-mail about that. Both Gen1 and Gen2 actually (at least in US).
Thank you RAY! So Helpful. Would you take the Epix 2 for $499 or the Fenix 7 Solar Sapphire for $230?
(Just sent my broken old Fenix 6 to Garmin, who offered the above deal on a refurbished F7SS. Epix 2 tempting, but worth the extra $280?)
That’s tough. Personally I prefer the Epix screen, but it really comes down to preference.
I suspect if you’re already in the Fenix camp, then a F7SS for $230 is a pretty solid deal.
Is the Fenix 7 Solar $230 or $230 off? $230 would be a crazy deal.
it is $230 + tax for a refurbished model from Garmin to replace my broken F6 sapphire.
Purchased the sapphire for $600, so I feel Im getting back in trade in value nearly what I paid for it.
Oh I see, Garmin is offering it to you at that price, it isn’t on Amazon, correct?
Hi Ray, Hover X1 or DJi mini 4k?
Thanks Ray!
Withings Scales are 20% off for Body Smart and 25% off Body Comp (Scan is still full price) Eufy/Anker P3 is 33% off. Wish DSM-BIA scales were cheaper
THanks, added in!
I had a forerunner 165 w/music I found for $249 last week, currently in shipping but can be returned. Is the Apple Watch series 9 or the forerunner 255 music better deals/better watches at those deals? At those sale prices they’re all in the same range. I looked at 165 review originally and looked over 255 just now.
That’s tough. They’re all kinda different watches. Apple Watch is more on the smarts side (iPhone owners only), whereas between the FR255 and FR165, the FR255 is more about deeper sports training, whereas the FR165 attempts to sorta bridge the divide between an Apple Watch and a Garmin FR255.
So I think I’ll stick with the FR165. The Apple Watch I ruled out pretty quickly because of some of the negatives you listed in your review and the battery life (I had forgotten about that). I have an Edge 840 already (keep forgetting it’s not a 540). So I really only need it for gym workouts and running. Having the touchscreen and the brighter screen are more important to me than having all the extra features I won’t use.
@Ray, on another note – did you get any reports about failing barometric sensors in Edge 530/540? I had 3 530s where the sensors died or went crazy – Garmin replaced them eventually switching it to a 540 – but just had 540 start showing erratic profiles (and it’s not a calibration issue when it essentially shows you’re cycling up while descending)
Is there any hack for that, or is it just acknowledged issue? Had a 520 for 4 years and never saw problems with that one
I’m actually having the same issue. Just replaced my 530 which had elevation calculation issues. I’ve used the 540 for less than 100 rides and now having the same issues. Just did a completely flat ride with my 9 year old and it said we did over 500ft in 11 miles. There’s not 500 ft in 20+ miles of that rail trail.
Have either of you done the warm soapy water bath? Just stick it in a bowl of warm water for 15 mins, with some light soap (or not), and then give it a bit of a light shake, and then rinse it out after. Typically, it’s mud/dirt/road oils/sports gel/etc… that gets stuck in the port and gives wonky stuff.
Though usually big spikes are something else.
With the “port” cover open or closed? I’m a little scared to try this lol.
Closed, though technically, it doesn’t matter. The unit is actually IPX7 certified, even with the port open (something I’ve tested numerous times for years). IPX7 is 30-minutes at 1-meter deep. So even a few hours in a shallow bowl is nothing.
But in this case, the barometric altimeter port isn’t actually in the same cavity as the USB port, so you’re good to keep it closed.
I’m convinced that Amazon Prime Days is an orchestrated campaign between Amazon and manufacturers to unload previous year’s inventory and older models (e.g. Garmin Edge 1040) before Black Friday season. Am I wrong?
Sorta wrong.
There’s tons of products that have no replacement anytime soon, or are entirely brand new. Look at the Fitbit ACE LTE for example, from just last month.
While replacements are likely for some of these products based on historical norms (e.g. new Apple Watches in September), the reality is that almost every product on the list is actually the current gen product.
I’m always happy to get last year’s inventory at a lower price. I got my Forerunner 255 for Black Friday, after the 265 was out. Then I got the Edge 1040 at the recent sale at REI when there were really strong rumors that the 1050 was just about to drop. Some things I want to be on the cutting edge for. These products don’t usually fill that bill. :-)
Kickr Core – $425 link to amazon.com
Do these deals not last all the way through Prine Day? The 255 Music seems to be $349 now, not $219.
No guarantees. Amazon may have sold out their stock at the price
Different amazon markets, half of these are US market and non of them in Europe. Fenix 7x Pro SS is listed here 500something, but price in amazon.de for example is still 750
If you look at the Other Sellers on the right side of the listing, it is still there for $219 from Amazon. Just not delivering for a week
Hello Ray,
I am thinking about a drone for photography, not really doing video, and maybe get an affordable one to learn flying before splurging on a Mavic 3 … there is the Mini 4K and the Mini 3 on sale on German Amazon – which would you recommend for photos? Is the image quality the same or close enough to go for the cheaper 4K?
Kind regards
Konstantin
They’re both very very similar, however, the Mini 3 (non-Pro) does have a better sensor pipeline than the Mini 4K. I’m not quire sure if it’s worth the extra $130 (sale prices) for the base unit – especially if it’s just a temporary stepping stone to a bigger Mavic 3.
Thank you! Went for a Mini 4K, if I really end up enjoying drone photography I will need something with a better camera anyway :)
Enjoy!
That said, i think you’ll be surprised how good the Mini 4K is. For daylight photography/videos, you’ll almost never notice the difference between a Mini 4K and Mavic 3 Pro. Where the main difference you’ll see is low-light photography/videos, and of course the features (e.g. obstacle avoidance, active track, etc…).
DJI continues to pack incredible sensor pipelines into their lower end drones. Heck, the Air 3 matches and often beats the Mavic 3 Pro (because the Air 3 sensor pipeline is actually newer and more powerful). I did a bunch of side-by-side stuff during my Air 3 review, and it’s impressive.
In the Netherlands Amazon still charges € 469 instead of € 329 ($ 359) 😢
Sorry, for which one?
Pizza oven is up to $350 unfortunately….
That’d odd, I still show it as $239. Are you signed in with an Amazon Prime account, with a US address as the shipping address?
The $350 sounds like another unit somehow (since it would be $300 without the sale).
Maybe a bit bike tangential (but hey, a pizza oven made the cut, right), but I just bought the Flextail Zero pump for my bikepacking setup, after realizing during a long bike tour, just how much time and patience is lost inflating my sleeping pad.
Weighs less, and takes up less space, than the inflation sack, and seems to last 9-12 inflations between recharges.
link to amazon.com
Holy cow that’s awesome-small. Though, I need to find a better sleeping past first. My Decathlon one sucks.
(There are many, many, many amazing Decathlon things, the pad I bought is not one of them.)
It’s not cheap, but I love my Big Agnes Rapide SL sleeping pad.
Just spent 17 nights on it, interspersed with a few random hotel nights, and slept just as well on it, as hotel beds.
I’m quite conflicted — I’m interested in upgrading from my Edge 530. Would you pick a 840 even though it’s the same price as the 1040? Or should would you wait for the 850 series given what we’ve seen with the 1050.
Totally depends if you want a bigger screen or not. The Edge 840 also has secondary buttons the Edge 1040 (and oddly 1050 too) lack. Both are great units, I use them interchangeably.
If you’re looking for something like an Edge 850, I’d assume that’ll be on the 2-year refresh cycle, thus Spring 2025.
Fwiw, I have the 840, and really, really like it.
But was jealous on a recent bike tour, of how much more battery life a fellow rider was getting out of their 1040.
I’d say the big factor is if you plan to do consecutive day bike touring, or do any single rides lasting more than 20 hours.
I had a couple of connected features going, and my 840 died just before I finished my first day’s 17-hour ride.
I do like having both the buttons and the touch screen.
While the touch screen is nearly flawless, and much improved over previous models, my head pours off sweat on long ascents, and the persistent dripping on the touch screen both builds up some glare, and can mess with the touch screen, at times (though constant rain, does not). It’s nice being able to lock out the touch screen, and use the buttons, for that niche case.
Minor correction: Polar Verity Sense – 15% off. Original price on Amazon is $99. Then $85 makes sense. (you show the original price as $89)
Thanks. Yeah, Polar raised all their prices at some point in the last year or so on lots of stuff. Didn’t catch that in the database (I enter in the sale prices in a slightly different section, so they don’t show up to me side-by-side when manually entering).
Do you think the Fenix 7 deal is really worth it with Fenix 8 just around the corner?
Retail on it was $800 but on slickdeals I saw it go for $600 several times over the last year and it’s a 2year old watch at this point for only $50 lower than a price point from November 2023.
It’s not a bad deal but feels like with the 8 coming out the value is just gonna plummet to like $350-$400 used in a month and losing $150-$200 value immediately.
Hello. I don’t see the same price for the 955 when I click into Amazon – it’s much higher. Am I missing something?
Hi PJ,
I noticed that if I used the link for the 955 at the very top of this article, and then followed the instructions written after the link to choose other sellers/other options it works to get the pricing. I just bought the watch for $319 and it should arrive July 31st – Aug 1st.
When I use the link in the actual article under the Watches and Wearables section the pricing is higher, like $449 or so. I hope you see this and are able to purchase it at the discount using the link at the very top of the page!!
Looking for deal on Garmin Rally pedals. It seems Amazon no longer even sells them. Where else should I look?
Almost none of these apply in Canada. What a sad place to live in :/
…but you’ve got Maple Syrup and Poutine!
Haha, was this reply from The Girl or has her home culture just grown on you?
(It was great meeting both of you at the open house!)
I’m seeing the Enduro 2 as $949 in the US. Is it showing up as $599 for anyone else?
It’s still there! But, it’s not showing by default. Two-second fix:
Simply select the ‘Other Sellers on Amazon’ on right side of product page, and you’ll see it there, new from Amazon, for delivery next week. Amazon will automatically prioritize faster shipment over lower price.
(Pro Tip for anyone else looking at a deal that’s seemingly missing, it just means that basically Amazon had to order more from Garmin, and isn’t showing the default deal pricing unless you click to expand it.)
Just saw the Garmin 1030 for $389.
It’s not a bad deal, but I’d be kinda hesitant. With the Edge 1040 at $449, and still getting updates for likely at least another year or so (including a big slate just a few weeks ago), I think the extra $60 is definitely worth it.
If not for the updates, then certainly for the speed/etc…
hi Ray,
no deal yet on the Garmin Inreach mini 2 which I think you still recommend over the Inreach messenger, correct?
thanks
I have the messenger, and just used it for a 23 day remote excursion, and loved it.
I think it’s a more useful product than the Mini 2, myself.
Same/longer battery life, much better text interface, easier to stow, can back-charge devices, etc.
Reduced navigation features, but frankly, I used my phone/bike computer/offline maps for that.
Note: a phone with no cell data signal will still accurately pinpoint your position and heading on already downloaded maps.
Not to mention, considerably cheaper.
Yeah, I generally prefer the Mini 2 over the Messenger, purely for being able to attach it to a backpack/etc…
It goes on sale here and there a few times a year. Honestly a bit surprised they didn’t put it on sale now, but I suspect the reason is that enough people are buying them already mid-summer.
Have you heard anything on relative sales of Messenger vs. Mini 2?. I bought Messenger simply because was cheaper and didn’t care about clipping it to a pack, but I see the Mini discussed more and Garmin hasn’t made any accessories for Messenger.
Hi Ray,
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I’d been waiting for the 965 to go on sale, but this discount was more than enough for me to pull the trigger on the 955.
I just bought the watch for $319 and noticed that using the link in the article under the watches and wearables section drops you off on the 955 Solar White. It looks like this amazing discount is only available for the non solar black.
The link you provided at the very top of the page drops you off in the right place though.
Thanks again!
Would have loved to pick up an Epix Sapphire, as that’s a great price. But alas, no 51mm versions.
Correct, the different sized units came with the Epix Pro series, which weren’t meaningfully on sale here. They were on sale back a few months ago though. :-/
Thanks again great update….
