I’ve organized all the best sports technology deals below in the tables by category. I’ll be updating them throughout November & December. Keep in mind not all deals last (especially over Black Friday weekend when Amazon themselves will briefly run deals beyond approved manufacturer deals). So if you see something that’s hot, I’d strongly suggest buy now (and return later if need be).
With that, on to the deals! And thanks for supporting the site via the links below. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Enjoy!
My Top Deals:
Here’s what I’d say are currently the “best” deals, with best being a blend of “holy crap it’s never been this low before” combined with “wow, this is a very strong product”. It doesn’t mean it’s the biggest discount, but ones I’d be jumping on if I didn’t already own all these. I’ll probably keep expanding this list as more items check the ‘holy crap’ box.
I’d note that there are a lot of solid Garmin deals here, simply because Garmin seems to be taking the whole “hold my beer” for Black Friday sales more seriously than a lot of other companies. Obviously companies do what they want, as it fits their business models.
1) Wahoo KICKR Move for $999: This is probably my favorite deal. It’s $300 off, and we never see Wahoo have such big discounts. No, there’s nothing new coming anytime soon, this is Wahoo finally deciding to play hardball on sales. This is an excellent trainer, and Wahoo’s top trainer offering.
2) Garmin Epix (Gen2) for $399: This deal is amazing, though, Garmin has flirted with this a bit over the last month in deals. Still, when you remember that the Epix Gen 2 got all the feature updates of the Epix Pro, it’s awesome. This blows away virtually every competitively priced device in that price point. Note, the deal fluctuates between $399 and $469 on a near-hourly basis. So…just keep checking back.
3) Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $619: This is by far the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which normally retails for $799. NOTE: For this deal you need to check the coupon to add the $80 off coupon!!!
4) Garmin Edge 840 for $349:This is my main go-to unit for cycling, and this is the first time we’ve seen it on sale. While the Edge 540 (with all the same features but not a touchscreen display) is for $249, I think the touchscreen is worth it for quicker tappity-tap.
5) GoPro Hero 13 Black Bundle for $349:This just came out, and this deal is $100 off but also includes an extra battery, SD card, floaty handle, and bag.
6) Garmin Forerunner 965 for $499: This is the first time we’ve seen the Forerunner 965 on any meaningful sale. This is an awesome watch that I often use for comparison testing and such.
Oh, as an update on Saturday, Nov 30th, here were the most ordered items from this list (via these links), in order of most units sold (*ALL OF THESE DEALS ARE STILL AVAILABLE*):
And again, everything on the above list is actually still available at these prices.
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.
⚡ 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.
⚡ 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.
⚡ 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.
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.
⚡ 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.
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.
⚡ 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).
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.
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.
⚡ 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.
⚡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.
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.
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.
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.
⚡⚡This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 540 Solar to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well.
This appears to basically just be an Uncle Amazon sale, but hey, if you've got an Elite trainer and wanted Rizer, this is a super good deal for US folks!
This is still a solid bike, and actually one that I use at home (I have the newer Peloton Bike+ at the office). Both my wife and I use these bikes interchangeably, and while the Bike+ has a bigger screen and better accuracy, there's very little difference in the core Peloton experience. I'd still recommend this model to most people.
This is a solid deal for the Bike+, albeit largely the normal sale/deal price. Both my wife and I use both the Peloton Bike+ and the regular Bike (one at home, one at office) on a weekly basis. We like both. The Bike+ is more accurate than the regular bike, and also has a bigger screen and automatic resistance control. That said, the core Peloton experience isn't any different between the two - it's the same platform there.
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.
If you're looking to get into flying with a DJI drone, this is a solid place to start. Of course, moreso than that, the days are very limited for how much longer you can actually buy at DJI drone in the US. So, grab them while you can.
This is the lowest price on this drone, and is a great option if you want a follow-me drone that's pretty hard to kill, at a price point that's still super reasonable.
This is the older gen model, and to me, $279 seems a bit high. Get the Hero 13 Black for $50 more and have access to all the new accessories. Or, save yourself $50 and get either the DJI Action 4 (prior gen) or Insta360 Ace Pro 1 (prior gen) models.
This has become one of my favorite drones, given it's tiny size (fits in my running shorts pockets) and ease of use. Plus, you can crash the crap out of it (hundreds of times for me and my wife) without any issues. This combo includes an extra battery and fast charger.
This is a solid deal on a solid drone, and one of the two main ones I use when taking videos of myself hiking or running. This includes the two extra batteries as well as the fast charger (so 3 batteries total).
This is the previous edition, as the Ace Pro 2 just came out last fall. But for this price, it's hard to beat.
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.
This is a pretty small deal for this product. This is my defacto satellite communicator when out of coverage area, and I've used it on a number of major treks over the past two years when well outside of cellular service, both in a 24x7 tracking mode for friends and family, but also there in case of emergency. Would strongly recommend for anyone doing anything in the wilderness.
Hyperice Normatec Elite Leg Recovery System - $100 off
This is my main treadmill at home, and I really like it. I've got no complaints about it, and am happy I went with the smaller Peloton Tread versus the bigger unit.
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!
⚡I make no secret how much I utilize AirTags, mainly, cause they've saved my butt numerous times already. We have them in every suitcase, and every backpack, and every bike bag. They're also hidden in most of our bikes (sometimes two of them). We were able to get our cargo bike back when it disappeared, as well as figure out when all our suitcases went missing during an annual family vacation where they were (for 5 days!), and plan appropriately. Seriously, just get them.
Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi Delux Kit - 30% off!
⚡ 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!
Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven - $80 off
I use the Fyra 12 (with wood pellets), and love it. The Karu 12 is essentialyl the newer version of that, and there's both a gas-only version, and a multi-fuel option (gas or wood). Love it!
SanDisk 1-4TB Extreme PRO Portable External SSD - 30% off
⚡This is one of the two the high speed drives types I use to store the footage I'm actively video editing. I typically buy the 2TB and 4TB ones, and then eventually offload the footage onto a NAS array when I'm done.
With that – thanks for reading, and for supporting the site via the links above.
No love for the Saris H3 at $349? Very solid trainer and I’m still cranking away on my 7 year old Hammer (a H3 predecessor). Only wish it was as quiet as the H3.
I got one when it was available at that price from Amazon (now like $550, though if you get the bundle, you’re basically buying it at $350).
Very solid trainer once I got it set up. Had some issues (turned out to be user error), but Saris support was worse than useless–took them like 10 days to get back to me, and gave me incorrect advice.
I found a guide to open it up and service the moving parts. Conditioning the belt and greasing some key areas made a significant reduction in noise levels.
I was looking to buy the polar M3 but does the polar vantage v3 black friday deal worth it? 20% off. it’s almost the same price as the M3. should I buy the V ou the M?
Your best bet is to read his reviews and comparisons and figure out what aspects are most important for you. Few points:
Forerunner lightest, Epixs option for sapphire glass, Pro has flashlight and newest HR sensor and more size choice
I don’t think he has to read it now. Your TLDR was perfect. I went with Pro for the newest HR sensor, but I use the flashlight all the time for stuff with the kids at night, and surprisingly at movie theaters.
Thanks. I’m leaning to Epix Pro as upgrade from my Fenix 6 Sapphire, thinking I want to try AMOLED. But Enduro 3 at $850 is tempting, since with plastic back the 51 mm size is lighter than other models.
I was checking Garmin watches in Europe and wanted to share my findings (considering shipping to Belgium).
BikeInn, Bike-Discount and Bol.com seem to have the best deals. There’s a Forerunner 965 for €508, an Epix for €496 and an Epix Pro for €675 at BikeInn. The Fenix 8 Solar and Enduro 3 are best at Bike-Discount. The Fenix 8 Amoled at Bol.com and Coolblue.
I’m glad to see Suunto ISN’T included above. They’ve gone and wrecked themselves with their latest app update that doesn’t let you load it w/o keeping location and health data on at all times. This also eliminates future watch updates, firmware, etc. Um, nope. Yes, you could turn it on to update it, then turn it back off, but that’s not the point. Many of us now have dead ‘smart’ watches. App store is filling up with neg comments.
Maybe you can address this in a future post and/or when reviewing their watches in the future. Thanks!
@Asa, I’m not seeing this issue on iOS, and only 1 recent review on the Apple app store raises this issue. There are 5 negative reviews about this on the Android store, so I wonder if this is an Android App issue.
On iOS, I open the app (already logged in), and up comes a screen with a toggle for Health and Location Data required and must be consented to before moving on. If you haven’t updated the app recently, it may not show it (don’t do it, if so, unless you agree to this functionality).
Not sure about it on a Google.
On Apple app store, if you go to all reviews for Suunto app > sort by newest, you’ll see a few comments about it. I’m not the only one.
In either case, for fun, I went into iOS privacy settings and disabled access for both location services and Apple Health. I force-closed the Suunto App and had no issues using it.
Obviously, without access to that, when you go to create routes, it won’t show/use your current location (as a blue dot). You can actually see this after you revoke, the blue dot goes away. And of course, it won’t populate Apple Health with your data anymore, but it sounds like you wanted neither (it was never read access, only write access).
This is on the current iOS version, with current iOS.
Strange. Thanks for checking. I’m on the latest 17 version (haven’t upgraded to 18.1.1 yet).
Ya, I normally turn health and location services (+ a few more) off unless I’m using gps on some hardware, so maybe it’s tied to something else, but I’m not really impressed, and will find something better next year…or back to analog. :)
@Asa & Ray, Likewise I tried I’m on 18.1.1 and v2.391 and I didn’t get any prompt either.
In fairness, I think it is pretty hard for any smart watch brand which is designed to collect personal information in the form of Heart rates and GPS location and conduct some post processing in the form of a training/health recommendation to not collect data.
If privacy is a big concern, then a non-connected device may might suit better,
I think I may have figured it out…the watch was completely disconnected from my phone and unpaired so the app thought I was a new user even though I was stilled logged in. Once I flipped the two toggles, it worked like normal, knew who I was, and since I don’t keep ‘location’ on, it should be good to go.
One should be aware that the app does say it tracks location whether the app is running or not (assuming iOS location is active). Thanks Ray/BigA for the assistance!
Overall, to your point BigA, the watch probably isn’t something will benefit me.
“DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC 2” is showing a whopping 5% discount on Amazon UK – £929 instead of £979 How come we don’t get $300 off? :-(
Polar has also a huge Black Friday Sale going on (unitil December 2nd). Dicounts are from -40% (eg Polar Pacer Pro) to -20% (Vantage V3). I think there are some very good deals available.
Favero Assiomas are 25% off starting today. Can get the single sided one for $350! This is the same sale as last year and I was hoping to see the mountain bike pedals on sale but guess it’s too soon.
Epix pro gen 2 down to £399 for the 41mm and 47mm sizes at Garmin UK, possibly only from midnight UK time.
Wasn’t looking at a new watch this year (pretty happy with my Fenix 6 Pro) and not exactly sold on AMOLED for a watch, but finding it hard to resist…
It does _not_ mean the end of updates for the Epix (Gen 2)/Fenix 7. Garmin looks at the new UI as a feature of the new product line (similar to hardware changes like the buttons or the case colors, not as a software update).
Now many people disagree with that philosophy (I had mentioned that previously when discussing the increasing dichotomy between hardware and software developments), but as far as Garmin is concerned they do not consider the new UI a software but rather a change.
I was secretly hoping for the Forerunner 965 to dip to £450 or below in the UK during Black Friday and just spotted Decathlon UK have reduced today to that very figure! 🙏
FYI: ZWIFT has the new ride at 20% off with the CYCLINGRIDE20 coupon added. To that note, would you recommend it over the KICKR SHIFT at $2400? I bought the Wahoo last week and am still within the return time frame. Thanks for all you do.
BikeTiresDirect.com has the Garmin Edge 1040 for $449.99 through December 2. Good company that has excellent gear – but probably only for DCR readers in the USA. Most of the other sale prices look about the same
Was the Mini 3, Fly More w/ DJI RC (with LCD) ever that price?
I’ve only been seeing the Drone w/o Fly More for something like 15% higher than noted here ($429). Bummer as with the nicer controller and Fly More kit the price here seems really solid, maybe I missed it.
Surprised to see comment that the 965 will stay the top end ForeRunner “for a while”. Came out over 2 years ago, so was expecting the next version in spring or so

FAQ’s
I have built an extensive list of my most frequently asked questions. Below are the most popular.
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.
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 (including drones & action cams!)! 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 2024 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you?

I went for V. for 450 Eur it looks to me like good deal. Amazon
I decided to take the V3 for the 50$ difference in price.
At Amason polar vantage V3 for 425 euro.
Ray,
Polar Verity Sense is showing up for me on Amazon at $79.96
I also see Garmin Varia™ RCT715 $100 off on Amazon
Epic Sapphire vs Epic Pro vs FR965 for hiking/running/gym?

Yeah, I don’t entirely remember getting that warning to be honest. Not saying I didn’t, just don’t remember it. I’ll find out what’s up.
As Big noted, there’s only a couple people who have mentioned it in the last few months.
On iOS, I open the app (already logged in), and up comes a screen with a toggle for Health and Location Data required and must be consented to before moving on. If you haven’t updated the app recently, it may not show it (don’t do it, if so, unless you agree to this functionality).

Now, about Strava…;)
Picked up a brand new quantix 7 for $349 on Amazon. Thought that was a pretty good deal for what is essentially a Fenix 7.
“DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC 2” is showing a whopping 5% discount on Amazon UK – £929 instead of £979 How come we don’t get $300 off? :-(
Here in the US I had to click to change from the Flymore Combo to the Flymore Combo Plus to see the discounted price.
Have any recommendation for a good nylon trail loop band for the Forerunner 965? Looking on amazon has my head spinning with bad quality options.
Polar has also a huge Black Friday Sale going on (unitil December 2nd). Dicounts are from -40% (eg Polar Pacer Pro) to -20% (Vantage V3). I think there are some very good deals available.
Favero Assiomas are 25% off starting today. Can get the single sided one for $350! This is the same sale as last year and I was hoping to see the mountain bike pedals on sale but guess it’s too soon.
On a side note: it’s fun to see Lasko fan for $50 at Amazon US and at the same time for €200 at Amazon NL.
Epix pro gen 2 down to £399 for the 41mm and 47mm sizes at Garmin UK, possibly only from midnight UK time.
Wasn’t looking at a new watch this year (pretty happy with my Fenix 6 Pro) and not exactly sold on AMOLED for a watch, but finding it hard to resist…
Crazy if you look at the pricing in EU, Garmin site 649€!! For the same watch. Anybody seen the epix 2 pro anywhere in EU cheaper then the 649€?
Such a great deal I couldn’t resist!
Although the charged me an extra penny – £400! Outrageous!
The Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire 51 mm at $750 seems pointless with the Enduro 3 at $850. Too small a savings to pass up newest model I think.
…some might argue you not only save $100, but you save yourself from the new UI. ;)
Thanks for being a DCR Supporter!
Absolutely 👍. The new UI is really a pain (for me).
Interesting. I thought people liked new UI and also that since Garmin isn’t rolling it back means the end of updates for the Fenix 7 and Epix.
It does _not_ mean the end of updates for the Epix (Gen 2)/Fenix 7. Garmin looks at the new UI as a feature of the new product line (similar to hardware changes like the buttons or the case colors, not as a software update).
Now many people disagree with that philosophy (I had mentioned that previously when discussing the increasing dichotomy between hardware and software developments), but as far as Garmin is concerned they do not consider the new UI a software but rather a change.
The Vivoactive 5 is currently priced at $200, which makes it a great deal as a gift for family.
I was secretly hoping for the Forerunner 965 to dip to £450 or below in the UK during Black Friday and just spotted Decathlon UK have reduced today to that very figure! 🙏
Praying for a deal on a Garmin Descent or MK watch – looking for that diving capability in an all around watch!
Sadly, short of Uncle Amazon going wild and doing something off-script (which it very well could), there aren’t any Garmin Descent planned sales. :(
Nespresso is only $99 and includes free shipping directly on it’s website.
The Echo Dot Kids link is opening the Logi webcam page for me.
FYI: ZWIFT has the new ride at 20% off with the CYCLINGRIDE20 coupon added. To that note, would you recommend it over the KICKR SHIFT at $2400? I bought the Wahoo last week and am still within the return time frame. Thanks for all you do.
Battery pumps?
BikeTiresDirect.com has the Garmin Edge 1040 for $449.99 through December 2. Good company that has excellent gear – but probably only for DCR readers in the USA. Most of the other sale prices look about the same
Was the Mini 3, Fly More w/ DJI RC (with LCD) ever that price?
I’ve only been seeing the Drone w/o Fly More for something like 15% higher than noted here ($429). Bummer as with the nicer controller and Fly More kit the price here seems really solid, maybe I missed it.
These deals are making it so hard not to upgrade my Forerunner yet! I’m trying to wait until next Spring when mine will be 3 years old!
Surprised to see comment that the 965 will stay the top end ForeRunner “for a while”. Came out over 2 years ago, so was expecting the next version in spring or so
