The 2016 Holiday Sports Tech Deals Page
Updated Dec 24th, 2016: Last day for many sales, especially Garmin ones!
It’s that time of year again when there are tons of sales on all sorts of sports technology items. Everything this year is pointing to earlier sales than normal, as manufacturers and retailers alike try to lock in your dollars ahead of time.
The typical ebb and flow of this time period is:
Pre-Thanksgiving deals: These are everything ahead of the US Thanksgiving, on November 24th. These are and will be more pronounced this year than in past years.
Black Friday deals: These are tied to Black Friday (BF), on November 25th. Some span that weekend. Generally speaking most retailers have access to the same major deals (i.e. Garmin, Fitbit, etc…).
Cyber Monday deals: These are on Monday, November 28th. Occasionally they spill into that Tuesday as well.
General December deals: We tend to see ‘repeats’ of some deals in the mid-December time-frame (usually around the 10th-15th). These are rarely better than BF deals, but usually quite good.
Most deals aren’t announced until a few days prior, if any prior announcement at all. Some deals have a specific quantity of items attached, which may be a few or a ton. And others are very time-limited, like Amazon deals. Note that while many deals are US-focused, in recent years we’ve seen Europe really get into the Black Friday/Cyber Monday side. So definitely good news there!
With that – let’s get into it! I’ll update the list and cross things off as we move through the season:
Current Deals!
Here’s what’s currently active. The ones I feel are the best bang for the buck, have a little * at the front of them. Of course, many of these are great deals if you’re in the market for it already. It’s just the ones with the stars are exceptionally unusual.
Garmin Deals:
You can also find all Garmin product deals here and all general Holiday Deals here.
Garmin 2016 Holiday Deals
Note I do not expect any further Garmin deals this season beyond these. And obviously, don’t expect any new product announcements from anyone at this point. The time is over for new products. The next time that train arrives at the station is CES 2017 (first week of January).
Here’s my very brief notes on why you see some of these products and whether they make sense to purchase.
Forerunner series: With the FR230/235/630 only a year old, I don’t see a near term replacement there. This to me just seems like a typical Black Friday type sale of a 1yr+ old product. With the FR920XT, that’s two years old. Given the FR735XT came out this past summer (not an exact replacement, but kinda close), I think we’ll see Garmin continue to wait on a direct FR920XT replacement for the near-medium term.
Fenix3 series: Garmin has pretty much established a yearly cadence of Fenix series units. 2014 saw the Fenix2, 2015 saw the Fenix3, 2016 saw the Fenix3 HR, and I suspect 2017 will bring whatever is next. In all recent cases, these products were announced at CES in early January, but not available until the February-April timeframe (depending on exact product).
Vivo Series: These are Garmin’s favorites to discount, since they have a much wider appeal. I see these sales as ‘simply keeping up with everyone else’s sales’, and by ‘everyone else’, I mean Fitbit. I wouldn’t read into these too much other than being good deals. Oh, and for Vivofit Jr, that was just announced last month – so these sales are just a vehicle to get more exposure there.
Edge Series: While the Edge 1000 may be due for an update, any release cycle there would likely be tied to late Spring (i.e. Sea Otter announcement), which Garmin has favored in recent years for announcing products. In the meantime, it continues to get new features on a near monthly basis. As for the Edge 20, not sure there, seems like it just came along for the ride.
TomTom Deals:
TomTom Runner – $69 (normally $129)
*TomTom Spark – $89 (normally $149)
TomTom Spark Music – $129 (normally $199)
*TomTom Spark Music + Cardio – $174 (normally $249)
TomTom Spark Music + Cardio w/headphones – $224 (normally $299)
Note that the ‘Cardio’ version means it has optical HR in it. My review of all these watches can be found here (Runner) and here (Spark). Note, I see absolutely no logical reason why you’d get the older Runner vs the Multisport Spark, given they are the same price and the Spark has more features.
Everything else!
And then there’s a ton more things:
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Other site | Sale Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Kit - 30% off! | $125 | 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! | |
 | 10th Gen Apple 10.2" iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - $90 off! | $249 | Amazon | ⚡ This is an awesome deal. 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 Indievelo, Kinomap, 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. | |
 | AmazFit T-Rex 3 - $45 off | $234 | Amazon | ⚡ This recently announced watch is a very solid deal. I'm almost done with my in-depth review on it. It's definitely budget in terms of some of the polish, but has a ton of features. | |
 | Amazon Echo Dot Kids - 50% off | $27 | Amazon | Despite being a tech-focused dude, our kids don't actually get much tech in their lives. However, we got these last Christmas for them in their rooms, to play music. They do lots of other things, but our kids mostly just use it to play music (from Spotify and Apple Music too), and occasionally they ask it questions. It has all the parental controls I want, so it locks it down from bedtime/etc...For $27? Solid deal (The coolest 'nice touch' feature is that if you whisper to it, it'll whisper back...in the owl kids voice it has.) | |
 | Anker 737 Battery Bank (24,000mAh) - 47% off | $79 | Amazon | ⚡I've been using this on my hikes/treks/daily life since lst winter, and have been super happy with it. I can charge drones from it on treks, as well as just a crapton of other devices (wathces/action cams/etc), but it's not too terrible on weight. For day to day life, I use it on planes and such as a laptop battery bank (supports 100w charging). Super happy with it. | |
 | Anker PowerCore III 10K Wireless Portable Charger with18W USB-C - 48% off | $28 | Amazon | I've been using this unit for a long time as a quick grab and go charger. Best as a day-use thing, especially with the wireless charging when my phone gets wet at the beach/pool/etc and needs wireless charging till the charging port dries out. | |
 | 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. Sure, they're good for sports, but frankly, I use them on planes, editing, and such more than anything else. | |
 | Apple AirTags (4-Pack) - 26% off! | $72 | Amazon | ⚡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. | |
 | Apple Airpods (2nd Gen) - 31% off! $159 | $89 | Amazon | These aren't the latest anymore, that's the newer 4th gen units. But if budget is in mind, it's hard to beat these. It's still what my wife uses as her daily driver, including tons of time on the indoor trainer/bike. | |
 | Apple Watch SE (2022/2nd gen) - $100 off $249/$299 (cellular) | $149 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This matches again the lowest price we've ever seen the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 11 features around Training Load, Vitals, offline mapping, and more. | |
 | Apple Watch Series 10 - $80 off $399/$499 (cellular) | $329 | Amazon | ||
 | Apple Watch Ultra 2 - $180 off!!! | $619 | Amazon | ⚡ This is by far the lowest price we've seen an Apple Watch Ultra 2, to date. This is an incredibly solid deal, especially with all the new WatchOS11 features that recently arrived. NOTE: YOU NEED TO CHECK THE $80 off coupon next to it (plus the already discounted lower price!). | |
 | Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Titanium - $80 off | $719 | Amazon | ⚡ This is a nice little deal for this unit which just came out. | |
 | Balega Comfort Running Socks - 34% off $15 | $14 | Amazon | This is the singular piece of apparel that's lasted the longest in my collection - some 15-16 years of buying the same socks. Heck, some of them are probably half that old. EIther way, this be the ones I use. Love them (well, except for hiking and trail running, then I use other stuff that goes higher). | |
 | Beats Fit Pro - 25% off | $149 | Amazon | ||
 | Beats Studio Buds - 47% off $149 | $79 | Amazon | ||
 | Chipolo Card Spot (Apple Find My Network) - 20% off! | $27 | Amazon | This is virtually identical to an Apple AirTag, and shows up in the exact same spot as your other AirTags within the Apple Find My app. The only difference is that it's the size of a credit card and fits in your wallet. Been using it since it came out a few years back - love it! | |
 | DJI Action 4 - $90 off | $209 | Amazon | While not the latest unit, it's still a pretty good deal at $209. | |
 | DJI Air 3 Drone - 20% off all packages | From $859 | Amazon | This is a good-ish deal. Yet at the same time, the new DJI Air 3S jsut came out and is significantly better, especially for sports tracking. I'd probably pay the extra for it. | |
 | DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo with DJI RC - $200+ off | $369 | Amazon | ||
 | DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC2 - $300 off! | $869 | Amazon | This is DJI's most powerful small drone, and the lowest price we've seen to date. | |
 | DJI Mini 4K Drone - $60 off | $209 | Amazon | ⚡ ⚡ This is an incredible deal. I actually picked up one of these back a few months ago to test, but I've used it in a boatload of review shots since then. Despite me owning all the DJI drones (seriously), this is by far the best value there is. This also has far better quality than the Neo, though, zero tracking capabilities. | |
 | EVOC Bike Travel Bag Pro - $45 off! | $755 | Amazon | This isn't on sale a lot. But, it's notably the bag I use (as does my wife). Works great, packed in all types of bikes into it over the years. | |
 | FORM Smart Swim 2 Goggles - $50 off | $199 | Amazon | These just came out earlier this year, and this is the lowest price to date. Very solid deal. | |
 | FORM Swim 1 Goggles (with heads-up display) - $50 off | $129 | Amazon | ||
 | Favero Assioma Duo/Uno Power Meter Pedals - 20% off! $459/$719 (single/dual) | N/A | Favero Site | ⚡ This is a strong deal from Favero, who is offering their Favero Assioma Duo pedals for 20% off. You'll pay the current exchange rate. The exact deal will vary based on which country you're shipping to. | |
 | Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch - $60 off | $160 | Amazon | ⚡ This was just announced this summer, and is their first full smartwatch focused on kids activity tracking and gamification. This is the lowest price we've seen to date. | |
 | 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. | |
 | Fitbit Inspire 3 - $30 off | $69 | Amazon | ||
 | Fitbit Sense 2 - $70 off | $179 | Amazon | ||
 | Fitbit Versa 4 - $40 off | $119 | Amazon | ||
 | Garmin Bounce LTE Kids Tracker - $20 off | $139 | Amazon | This is the activity tracker that both of our oldest daughters use (age 7 & 8), as well as most of their friends now. They/we all like it. Check out my full in-depth review for all my thoughts. The $20 off is about the only sale you'll see. | |
 | Garmin Edge 1040 Cycling GPS - $100 off! | $499 | Amazon | This is a good deal, especially since it's gotten virtually all of the Edge 1050 updates, and then a boatload more. That said, it wouldn't surprise me to see this drop further to $449, as it did this past summer. | |
 | Garmin Edge 540 - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | REI | ⚡⚡This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 540 to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. This is kinda an insane deal for this unit. |
 | Garmin Edge 540 Solar - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | REI | 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. |
 | Garmin Edge 840 - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | REI | ⚡⚡This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 840 to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. This is one of my main units I use daily. |
 | Garmin Edge 840 Solar - $100 off | $449 | Amazon | REI | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 840 Solar to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. |
 | Garmin Edge Explore 2 - $40 off $299 | $269 | Amazon | Competitive Cyclist | This is a great little unit, though, with the sales on the Edge 540 and 840 series, you might want to look at those instead. |
 | 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. |
 | Garmin Fenix 7 Pro - 31% off (All Variants) $799+ | $549+ | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back. Still, if you don't care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 (Base) - $100 off! $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 255/255S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. | |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off! $349/$399 | $299 | Amazon | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. | |
 | Garmin Forerunner 265 - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is the first time we've seen the Forerunner 265 on sale, and it's solidly priced right now at $349 |
 | Garmin Forerunner 265s - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is the first time we've seen the Forerunner 265 on sale, and it's solidly priced right now at $349 |
 | Garmin Forerunner 55 - $50 off $199 | $149 | Amazon | This is a good little running watch, though, it also supports plenty of other sport types as well. This is the lowest sale price to date. | |
 | 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) | |
 | Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $100 Off | $199 | Amazon | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $199, a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the few years since release. The Solar editions are also on sale. | |
 | Garmin Instinct 2S & 2S Solar $100 off! | $199-$299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $199, a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the few years since release. The Solar editions are also on sale for $299 |
 | Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off! | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is a solid deal. Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off!It's best thought of as an Instinct 2.5, as it has almost enough features to really be more of an Instinct 3 (which doesn't exist at this point). |
 | Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar - $100 off! | $399 | Amazon | ||
 | Garmin Tactix 7 Pro - 20% off | $1,049 | Amazon | This is the largest discount we've seen to date on the Tactix 7 Pro unit. Note the other Tactix 7 Pro units/variants are also on sale for 20% off too (this link takes you to all of them). | |
 | Garmin Varia RCT715 Camera Radar - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price we've seen on this unit ever. While I have some quibbles with it from an app/etc standpoint, it's still the best offering on the market by far for integrated radar + camera + bike light features. |
 | Garmin Varia RVR315 Radar - $50 off | $99 | Amazon | ⚡ This is Garmin's radar without the light, so it's a bit smaller as a result. Same radar tech though, and compatible with Garmin/Stages/Hammerhead/Wahoo bike computers. | |
 | Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's standalone radar+taillight option, and $149 is pretty much the standard sale-price. |
 | Garmin Venu 3 - $100 off! $449 | $349 | Amazon | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3, which is Garmin's answer to the Apple/Samsung/Google watches. | |
 | Garmin Venu 3S - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3, which is Garmin's answer to the Apple/Samsung/Google watches. The Venu 3S is simply the smaller edition. | |
 | 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. | |
 | Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ 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. |
 | GoPro Hero 12 Black - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | The new Hero 13 just came out, which mostly just adds a bunch of new accessory options. If you don't plan to purchase those accessories, then this is a solid deal. | |
 | GoPro Hero 13 Black - $60 OFF! | $339 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we have seen the newly announced GoPro Hero 13 Black on sale. Solid deal, this is my daily use action cam! That said, the bundle version listed below this is a better deal, since for $10 more you get a bunch of other things. |
 | GoPro Hero 13 Black Bundle (extra battery/SD card/floaty) - $100 off! | $349 | Amazon | ⚡ This is a very solid deal. It's a Hero 13 Black on discount, but then an extra battery tossed in, then an SD card, and then a floaty. | |
 | GoPro Hero 4K - $20 off | $179 | Amazon | REI | This was just released back in September, and is GoPro's budget option, which includes a full color touchscreen on the back as well. |
 | Google Nest WiFi Pro - 6E (3xPack) - $120 off! | $279 | Amazon | I've been using the Google Nest WiFi packs for years. And this deal is strong enough that I clicked purchase on this deal to upgrade to the WiFi Pro after a few trusted reviewer friends upgraded as well. The 2x pack is also on sale for 34% off as well, if you don't need three pods. | |
 | Google Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) - $70 OFF | $279 | Amazon | Click to add $70 coupon into the cart. Bringing price down to $279! | |
 | Insta360 Ace Pro Action Cam - $50 off | $299 | Amazon | This is the previous edition, as the Ace Pro 2 just came out a few weeks back, but this is still a very solid camera from a year ago. | |
 | Insta360 GO 3S Tiny 4K Action Camera - $60 off! | $239 | Amazon | This is a great deal for this tiny little thing, which should really be named the Go 4, given how many new features it has (including 4K). It also has all the Insta360 sport integration features with Garmin & Apple, to overlay your Garmin/Apple data automatically on your footage. | |
 | Jackery Portable Power Station - $100 off! | $169 | 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! | |
 | Lasko High Velocity Pro-Performance Fan - 15% off | $54 | Amazon | This is one of the most popular indoor trainer fan companies out there, which rivals the Wahoo Headwind fan but cost a fraction of the price. Of course, it lacks ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but realistically if you really want that you can add a smart outlet for $10 to toggle it on/off from your phone if need be. It's one of the ones in my rotation. | |
 | 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. | |
 | Peloton Bike - 10% off | $1,295 | Amazon | 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. Note Peloton has stated/confirmed there will be no 'bigger discounts' on products during this holiday period. | |
 | Peloton Bike+ is $500 off | $1,995 | Amazon | 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. | |
 | Peloton Guide - A crapton % off | $45 | Amazon | Peloton keeps trying to get rid of these - and $45 is hilariously cheap (it started in a bundle for $495, and has slowly worked it's way down from there). | |
 | Peloton Tread - $300 off | $2,695 | Amazon | 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. | |
 | Philips Hue Smart Lighting - 20-65% off | Amazon | I use Philips Hue stuff all over the DCR Cave/Studio for lighting, both obviously colorful stuff in the background of shots, but also just for automation of the lights. Same goes at home. Love it (mainly when it's on sale like now). Starter packs are a good place to begin, and then I love the light strips (such as pictured). | ||
 | 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. | |
 | Samsung T9 SSD (2-4TB) - up to 40% off | $134 | Amazon | I use a literal flotilla of these small SSD's for all my photo/video projects until they get moved off to the NAS system (Synology) for longer term storage. I have T5/T7 units, and are picking up a few of the larger T9 ones given the sale prices. Love them, incredibly fast and reliable. | |
 | SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SD Cards - 51% off | $29 | 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 fantastic deal and I'll be filling up. | |
 | SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB MicroSD Card - 18% off! | $28 | Amazon | I use this card for all of my drones and action cams. Sometimes, also the 512GB version as well. | |
 | 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. | |
 | Sony Alpha 7 IV Full-frame Mirrorless Camera w/ 28-70mm Zoom - $400 off | $2,298 | Amazon | This is the main camera I use for still photography and video b-roll. I recently wrote about all the photography gear I use, linked at side here. | |
 | 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. | |
 | Tacx Flux 2 Smart Trainer - $300ish off $899 | $399 | N/A | REI | I mean, I guess. Really, I don't see why anyone would buy this trainer at any price above $299. With the JetBlack Victory at $399 being more accurate, quiter, including WiFi, including Zwift Cog support (or mechanical cassette), including dual-Bluetooth, including Race Mode, and...one could go on and on. |
 | Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer - $200-$300 off $1,399 | $899 | Amazon | This is the go-to sales price for the NEO 2T, though has become more frequent over the past year. It's still an incredible trainer, and is the top-end non-moving trainer from Garmin/Tacx. | |
 | Therabody Theragun Mini - $50 off! | $149 | 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 - 36% off | $190 | Amazon | My wife uses the Theragun Elite, which is relatively similiar to this newer model. | |
 | Vacmaster AM201R Fan + Remote/holder (13% off) | $69 | Amazon | This is another very popular fan that people use for indoor training/cycling, especially due to inclusion of the remote and remote holder to clasp on your handlebars. | |
 | Wahoo BOLT V2 - 26% off $279 | $208 | Amazon | ⚡ This price is very solid for this unit, especially if you want a smaller bike computer that's very solid in terms of software stability at this point. I believe this is the lowest price ever. | |
 | Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 - 15% off $399 | $339 | Amazon | While Wahoo has announced a new bike computer coming December 3rd, this is Wahoo's top-end unit for now. 15% off is pretty much the norm for them. | |
 | Wahoo KICKR CORE Zwift One (COG V2) + Play Controllers $499 | $499 | N/A | Zwift.com | This package includes the KICKR CORE with the Zwift V2 Cog, but notably now also includes the Zwift Play controllers. Basically, this saves you about $100 or so, and is the first time we've seen them bundle it. |
 | Wahoo KICKR MOVE - $300 off! $1,599 | $999 | N/A | REI | ⚡⚡ This is actually a very solid deal, and the first time we've seen this discounted. In fact, frankly, this is the first time in years it feels like Wahoo is actually doing a legit sale on something. Kudos. |
 | Wahoo KICKR ROLLR - $100 off $599 | $499 | N/A | REI | |
 | Wahoo KICKR SNAP - Lowest Price Ever $499 | $199 | Amazon | REI | This is lowest we've ever seen the KICKR SNAP priced. While the trend has moved towards wheel-off/direct drive trainers, this is still really solid deal if your budget it tight. That said, if you're in Europe, Decathlon has the D100 on sale for $199 also, and in my testing, I'd go with that almost every time. |
 | 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). | |
 | Withings Body Comp WiFI Scale - 25% off | $149 | Amazon | ||
 | Withings Body Smart WiFI Scale - 20% off | $79 | Amazon | ||
 | ZOLEO Satellite Communicator - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | I have not yet tried the Zoleo unit, though, many of you have and it's super popular. |
Top Deals You Ordered Weekend:
I thought it’d be fun to list the Top 10 Sports Tech items people ordered over the weekend, using links from the site. They are:
Fitbit Charge 2
Garmin Forerunner 920XT
Garmin Fenix3
Garmin Vivoactive HR
Garmin Vivofit Jr. (WTF?)
Garmin FR235
Garmin Vivosmart HR+
PowerTap P1s power meter pedals
PowerPod power sensor
Scosche Rhythm+ optical HR sensor
The major pattern was basically the most heavily discounted options. The Vivofit Jr was definitely the surprise there, as was the P1s (which is the left-only one). The others made sense, as they were all major discounts on things. All of these are linked above, and all of them as of Monday, are still on-sale for quite a discount.
European Deals!
What’s that? You’re not in the US and still want a deal? No problem! First off, you should note that some retailers do send some items overseas. For example, Clever Training can send many products overseas, and do so at a flat-rate $29USD shipping cost. You’ll want to check the individual item. For some deals, that could be a huge savings!
Beyond that, I’ll be tracking Euro-specific deals here. These will include both Clever Training Europe (UK) as well as Amazon European deals.
Woot – important! The Clever Training Europe deals below can be combined with the DCR 10% discount coupon code DCR10BTF. Boom! So yes, another 10% savings on top of these prices! Plus free shipping in Europe for orders over 75EUR (almost everything in the list from CT).
Note: 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 duplicates across the sites.
European Deals
Didn’t find what you wanted?
No worries, you can still save a bundle, or help support the site. With Clever Training you can get 10% off everything they sell (except most sale/clearance items). You’ll just use the DCR coupon code DCR10BTF and boom, good to go! Plus, you’ll get free US shipping over $75. For a handful of items you may need to use the DCR/CT VIP program to get points back instead, but it only takes a moment to sign-up.
In addition, you can support the site with purchases from any of the below three retailers – no matter if it’s sports tech, or toilet paper. Just click on the link and you’re off!
Thanks for the support!

| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Other site | Sale Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Garmin inReach Messenger - $60 off | $240 | Amazon | While the new inReach Messenger Plus just came out a few weeks ago (which adds photo/voice messaging), it's otherwise identical to this....except that's double the price $499). Not gonna lie, sending photos from the backcountry is super cool. But this does the trick. Still, i prefer the inReach 2 Mini which is also on sale (due to the form factor and hanging off a backpack better). | |
 | Garmin Epix Sapphire/Titanium (Gen 2) - $400+ off! | $399-$429 | Amazon | ⚡⚡⚡ This is a crazy super strong deal. Note the Epix received all of the software updates of the Epix Pro. This deal keeps floating between $399 and $429 - frankly, at either price it's an awesome deal. | |
 | Google Pixel Watch 2 - $80 off! | $179 | Amazon | While the new Pixel 3 just came out, this gets some of those features, including moving Daily Readiness to being a free feature. | |
| Garmin Edge 1040 Cycling GPS - $150 off! | $479 | Amazon | ⚡ The deal is (mostly) back! After we saw this at $449 in May, it's returned. This is notable because while the Edge 1050 has launched, Edge 1040 got almost all the software features, keeping them in sync | |
| Withings Body Comp WiFI Scale - 25% off | $149 | Amazon | ||
| DJI Air 3 Drone - 20% off all packages. | From $879 | Amazon | While this would normall be a good deal, I'd hold off. Very strong/reputable leaks over the past 48hrs have shown a new Air 3S coming out likely as soon as next week, with a sports tracking beacon and a far better video sensor. If you really want the Air 3 at this price, I'm sure it'll be there on Black Friday. | |
| Insta360 GO 3S Tiny 4K Action Camera - $60 off! | $239 | Amazon | This is a great deal for this tiny little thing, which should really be named the Go 4, given how many new features it has (including 4K). It also has all the Insta360 sport integration features with Garmin & Apple, to overlay your Garmin/Apple data automatically on your footage. | |
| Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra - $100 off! | $549 | Amazon | I believe this is the first time we've seen the new Ultra this low. | |
| Insta360 Ace Pro Action Cam - $20 off | $329 | Amazon | This price continues to be lowered from the original $449 when it launched, so, depending on how you define it - it's either $20 off the recent norms, or $120 off. Either way, Insta360 has some awesome Garmin/Apple integration for data overlays. | |
| GoPro Hero 12 Black - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | The new Hero 13 just came out, which mostly just adds a bunch of new accessory options. If you don't plan to purchase those accessories, then this is a solid deal. | |
| Garmin Venu 3 - $50 off! $449 | $399 | Amazon | ||
 | Garmin Enduro 2 - $200ish off $1,099 | $779 | Amazon | Hoenstly, this isn't a great deal. The new Enduro 3 is $899, has better everything, and will get feature firmware updates for likely years (versus the Enduro 2 has probbly seen the end of the road for feature updates). | |
 | Garmin Fenix 7 - ~$150 off! $699+ | $492 | Amazon | ⚡This is a good deal if you don't care about the new optical heart rate sensor (including ECG) of the newer Fenix 7 Pro or Fenix 8, especially given the Fenix 7 series has received virtually all of the Fenix 7 Pro's new software features, keeping them essentially identical. Of course, the Fenix 8 also adds diving/speaker features, but the MIP-version is more than double the price of this. | |
| ZOLEO Satellite Communicator - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | I have not yet tried the Zoleo unit, though, many of you have and it's super popular. Given the sales today, I just ordered one, and will give it a whirl and report back in a review. | |
| Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) - $50 off | $349 | Amazon | 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. | |
| Garmin inReach Messenger - $40 off | $260 | Amazon | While the new inReach Messenger Plus just came out last week (which adds photo/voice messaging), it's otherwise identical to this....except that's double the price $499). Not gonna lie, sending photos from the backcountry is super cool. But this does the trick. | |
| Peloton Bike - 15% off | $1,228 | Amazon | 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. Note Peloton has stated/confirmed there will be no 'bigger discounts' on products during this holiday period. | |
| Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 - 15% off $399 | $339 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Epix Titanium (Gen2) - $ | $399 | Amazon | ⚡⚡⚡ This is the lowest price ever for a Garmin Epix watch, period, let alone the titanium/sapphire edition. The key difference to the Epix Pro, is this doesn't have ECG features. This is probably the best deal on this Prime Day Sales. Period. | |
| Garmin Forerunner 265 Series - $27 off! $449 | $423 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Forerunner 955 - $180 off! | $319 | Amazon | This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's down to an absoultely insane 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...). ***Note: This is still available, 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. Enjoy!*** Also, check both color options for non-solar. | |
| Garmin Forerunner 965 - $36 off $599 | $564 | Amazon | This isn't quite the $50 off we saw last Black Friday, but again, like some of the sales here - it's a minor discount. | |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255 Music - 45% off | $219 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is argueably one of the best budget deals there is on a multisport watch, this go around! | |
| 9th Gen Apple 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - $75 off! | $199 | Amazon | ⚡ This is an awesome deal. 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 Indievelo, Kinomap, 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. | |
| Apple AirTags (4-Pack) - 20% off! | $79 | Amazon | ⚡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. | |
| Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $90 off | $169 | 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. | |
| Apple Watch Series 10 - $25 off $399/$499 (cellular) | $375 | Amazon | Hey, this just came out a few weeks ago, but there's some small deals on it. Better than nothing! | |
| Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Titanium - $75 off | $725 | Amazon | This is a nice little deal for this unit which just came out. | |
| Apple Watch SE (2022/2nd gen) - $70 off $249/$299 (cellular) | $169 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This matches again the lowest price we've ever seen the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 11 features around Training Load, Vitals, offline mapping, and more. | |
| Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Kit - 30% off! | $125 | 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! | |
 | Optimum Nutrition Recovery Drink: 39% off | $25 | Amazon | This is what both myself and my wife use as a recovery drink (for me, primarily after longer workouts, though she smartly does it after almost all workouts). This is a very solid deal. | |
 | Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Trainer - $75 off! $499 | $425 | Amazon | This is technically the lowest price we've ever seen for this trainer as far as I know. It's still a very solid trainer, and the cornerstone to the new Zwift Ride bike as well (it uses the KICKR CORE as the base). It works with the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB too. | |
| Garmin Vivoactive 5 - $50 off! $299 | $249 | Amazon | ||
 | Wahoo Headwind Fan - $40 off! $249 | $255 | Amazon | ||
 | SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headphones - 31% off | $124 | Amazon | ||
| Peloton Guide - A crapton % off | $80 | Amazon | Peloton keeps trying to get rid of these. $80 is the new price they're trying (it started in a bundle for $495, and has slowly worked it's way down from there). | |
| Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar - $200 off! | $299 | Amazon | This matches the lowest price we've seen on this, from this summer. | |
| Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $25 off | $175 | Amazon | Generally we see this lower at $149 as Garmin's near-monthly sales price, so I'd hold off on this one. | |
| SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headphones - 31% off | $124 | Amazon | ||
| Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (40 & 44mm) - $40 off! | $260 | Amazon | ||
| Peloton Bike+ is $500 off | $1,995 | Amazon | 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. | |
| Peloton Tread - $440 off! | $2,550 | Amazon | 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. | |
| Samsung T9 SSD (1-4TB) - up to 23% off | $134 | Amazon | I use a literal flotilla of these small SSD's for all my photo/video projects until they get moved off to the NAS system (Synology) for longer term storage. I have T5/T7 units, and are picking up a few of the larger T9 ones given the sale prices. Love them, incredibly fast and reliable. | |
 | Polar Pacer - 21% off | $189 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $50 Off | $249 | Amazon | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $249, a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the few years since release. | |
| FORM Swim 1 Goggles (with heads-up display) - $30 off | $149 | Amazon | ||
| Oura Ring Gen 3 - 20% off | $281 | Amazon | While Oura just announced the Oura Ring 4, there honestly isn't much difference hardware-wise. Thus, 205 off isn't too bad a deal, and roughly matches that we saw last Black Friday. | |
| Polar Verity Sense - 15% off $99 | $84 | Amazon | ||
 | Polar H10 Chest Strap (Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart) - 25% 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%. | |
 | SHOKZ OpenRun Headphones - 23% off | $99 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Varia RVR315 Radar - $33 off | $117 | Amazon | Generally we see this at $99 on sale, so I'd hold off till Black Friday, unless you were in the market for it today. | |
 | Elite Suito-T Smart Trainer - $100 off $799 (incl cassette) | $406 | Amazon | ||
| Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch - 22% off | $179 | Amazon | This was just announced this summer, and is their first full smartwatch focused on kids activity tracking and gamification. | |
| Withings Body Comp WiFI Scale - 25% off | $149 | Amazon | ||
| Wahoo BOLT V2 - $45 off $279 | $234 | Amazon | ||
 | Polar H9 Chest Strap - $10 off | $50 | 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 | |
| Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - 47% off | $159 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Forerunner 255 Music - 45% off | $219 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is argueably one of the best budget deals there is, this go around! | |
| Garmin Edge 1040 Cycling GPS - $150 off! | $449 | Amazon | The deal is back! After we saw this deal in May, it's returned for Amazon Prime Day. This is notable because the Edge 1050 has launched and with it, the Edge 1040 got plenty of new features as well, kept largely in sync between the two. Definitely a steal. | |
| 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). | |
| Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon - $75 off | $425 | Amazon | ||
| Insta360 Ace Pro Action Cam - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | I've been using this a fair bit over the past winter, and it's a solid little contender. In particular, the Garmin/Apple integration to overlay data onto your videos is silly easy to use, and super quick as well. | |
| Polar Verity Sense - 15% off $99 | $84 | Amazon | ||
 | HoverAir X1 Drone - $160 off! | $309 | Amazon | ⚡⚡ This has become one of my favorite drones, given it's tiny size (fits in my running shorts pockets) and ease of use. The further updated price of $309 (from $359 at start of sale) is incredible, and by far the lowest price to date. | |
| FORM Swim 1 Goggles (with heads-up display) - $30 off | $140 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Enduro 2 - $300 off $1,099 | $599 | Amazon | I'm not really sure if I'd call this $500 off like Amazon, as this is on sale a fair bit. That said, if battery life is your key concern - this solves that concern. I did a 8-day 180km trek (with navigation and all features enabled) on this watch on a single charge. Note: This is still available, 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. Enjoy! | |
 | Apple Airpods (3rd Gen) - $40 off! | $119 | Amazon | ||
| Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Kit - 35% off! | $129 | 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! | |
| Scosche RHYTHM+ 2.0 ANT+ & Bluetooth HR Monitor $79 | $23 | Amazon | This isn't the newest chicken on the block, but for $23?!?! That's a crazy good price for something that's actually pretty darn accurate. Really accurate. | |
| Fitbit Sense 2 - $70 off | $179 | Amazon | This is the lowest price we've seen to date for the Fitbit Sense 2, surpassing the previous low record of $199 | |
| Apple Watch Ultra 2 - $100 off | $699 | Amazon | ⚡ This is by far the lowest price we've seen an Apple Watch Ultra 2, to date. Very solid deal, and like the Apple Watch Series 9, it too is getting a huge slate of new features just announced last month for WatchOS 11. | |
| Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $90 off | $168 | Amazon | ⚡ I've 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. | |
| Peloton Tread - $300 off! | $2,695 | Amazon | 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. | |
 | Garmin Fenix 7 Solar Sapphire - $250 off! | $549 | Amazon | ⚡⚡ This continues to be a crazy deal, since this is the sapphire edition, which has multiband/dual-GNSS, and also still gets all the latest firmware/feature updates of the newer Garmin Fenix 7 Pro. | |
| Fitbit Versa 4 - $40 of | $159 | Amazon | This is an OK deal. I'd probably just spend the extra $20 to get the Fitbit Sense 2 currently on sale. | |
| 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. | |
| Google Pixel Watch 2 - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | While Google has already announced an early August date for new Pixel devices, the company has also largely brought every feature of the Pixel Watch 2 to the Pixel Watch 1, so I'm not super worried about them cutting off support soon. | |
 | Garmin Epix Sapphire Titanium (Gen 2) - $400 off! | $544 | Amazon | ⚡⚡⚡ This is a crazy super strong deal (insane), and this unit is the Sapphire edition, which has multi-band GNSS on it. Note that the Epix Gen 2 has continued to receive virtually all of the Epix Pro new features firmware updates, including new bits just this weekend. ***Note: This is still available, 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. Enjoy!*** | |
| GoPro Hero 12 Black - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Hero 12 Black to date, easily surpassing Black Friday last year. It's what I use for all my action cam shots. | |
| DJI Action 4 - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Vivoactive 5 - $35 off! $299 | $265 | Amazon | This is Garmin's newest unit in the Vivoactive 5 realm, and is essentially a mini Venu 3. | |
| Peloton Bike+ is $400 off | $1,995 | Amazon | 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. | |
| Jackery Portable Power Station - $80 off! | $198 | 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! | |
| FORM Smart Swim 2 Goggles - $20 off | $229 | Amazon | ||
| Balega Comfort Running Socks - 34% off $15 | $10 | Amazon | This is the singular piece of apparel that's lasted the longest in my collection - some 15-16 years of buying the same socks. Heck, some of them are probably half that old. EIther way, this be the ones I use. Love them (well, except for hiking and trail running, then I use other stuff that goes higher). | |
| Garmin Forerunner 955 - $180 off! | $319 | Amazon | This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's down to an absoultely insane 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...). ***Note: This is still available, 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. Enjoy!*** Also, check both color options for non-solar. | |
 | Apple Watch Series 9 - $120 off $399/$499 (cellular) | $279 | Amazon | ⚡This is the lowest price to date we've seen on the Apple Watch Series 9, and notable, given the huge slate of software updates just annoucned at WWDC last month, coming to the Series 9 | |
| Apple Watch SE (2022/2nd gen) - $70 off $249/$299 (cellular) | $169 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is now the lowest price we've ever seen the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 11 features around Training Load, Vitals, offline mapping, and more. | |
| DJI Mini 4K Drone - $60 off | $229 | Amazon | This is an incredible deal. I actually picked up one of these back a few months ago to test (haven't quite finished that review), but I've used it in a boatload of review shots since then. Despite me owning all the DJI drones (seriously), this is by far the best value there is. | |
| Anker Prime Battery Bank (27,650mAh) - $60 off | $119 | Amazon | I've been using this on my hikes/treks/daily life since this winter, and have been super happy with it. I can charge drones from it on treks, as well as just a crapton of other devices (wathces/action cams/etc), but it's not too terrible on weight. For day to day life, I use it on planes and such as a laptop battery bank (supports 100w charging). Super happy with it. | |
| Beats Studio Buds - 47% off $149 | $79 | Amazon | ||
| Withings Body Smart WiFI Scale - 20% off | $79 | Amazon | ||
| Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Trainer - $75 off! $499 | $425 | Amazon | This is technically the lowest price we've ever seen for this traine as far as I know. It's still a very solid trainer, and the cornerstone to the new Zwift Ride bike as well (it uses the KICKR CORE as the base). It works with the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB too. | |
| Amazon Echo Dot Kids - 50% off | $27 | Amazon | Despite being a tech-focused dude, our kids don't actually get much tech in their lives. However, we got these last Christmas for them in their rooms, to play music. They do lots of other things, but our kids mostly just use it to play music (from Spotify and Apple Music too), and occasionally they ask it questions. It has all the parental controls I want, so it locks it down from bedtime/etc...For $27? Solid deal (The coolest 'nice touch' feature is that if you whisper to it, it'll whisper back...in the owl kids voice it has.) | |
 | SONOS Roam 2 - 20% off | $143 | Amazon | We have a few SONOS speakers around the house and DCR Cave (the Ikea variants at DCR Cave), but by far our favorite is the Roam, which we take outdoors into the garden during the summer, beach vacations, AirBNB's, etc... It has a battery in it, and also connects to both WiFi and Bluetooth. Love, love, love. I think the main reason I love it, is that we heavily use it in summer, so...kinda reminds me of summer. | |
 | Garmin Edge 1030 Plus Bundle with all Sensors - 44% off | $389 | Amazon | I'm a bit conflicted on this one. First up, it's a sensor bundle with HR strap, speed sensor, and cadence sensor. But at the same time, it's the Edge 1030 Plus, which isn't receiving updates anymore. Whereas the deal for the Edge 1040 (no sensors) is incredible at $449, and that's still getting *new features updates* and likely will for the next year or so. Your choice, but I'd personally skip the sensors (since your watch likely already can broadcast HR). | |
| 9th Gen Apple 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - $75 off! | $249 | Amazon | ⚡ This is an awesome deal. 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 Indievelo, Kinomap, 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. | |
| Therabody Theragun Prime - 20% off | $239 | Amazon | My wife uses the Theragun Elite, which is relatively similiar to this newer model. | |
| Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - $400 off! | $499 | Amazon | ⚡⚡⚡ This is a crazy super strong deal. Note that the Epix Gen 2 has continued to receive virtually all of the Epix Pro new features firmware updates, including new bits just this weekend. ***Note: This is still available, 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. Enjoy!*** | |
 | DJI Mini 3 with RC-N1 Remote -$70 off! | $349 | Amazon | ||
 | Garmin HRM-DUAL (ANT+/Bluetooth Smart Strap) - 32% off! $69 | $47 | Amazon | This is Garmin's ideal strap if you just want an affordable dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart option, especially when it's on sale like this - it really becomes one of the best deals out there right now for a multi-connection strap. | |
| SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headphones - 31% off | $124 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar - $200 off! | $299 | Amazon | This is by far the lowest price we've seen this. | |
| SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SD Cards - 49% off | $31 | 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 fantastic deal and I'll be filling up. | |
| DJI Air 3 Combo Package - $300 off | $1,239 | Amazon | If you're looking for an extra zoom lens on the drone (beyond a Mini series drone), and full obstacle avoidance, then the Air 3 is your best bet. | |
| Lasko High Velocity Pro-Performance Fan (U15617) - 27% off | $47 | Amazon | This is one of the most popular indoor trainer fan companies out there, which rivals the Wahoo Headwind fan but cost a fraction of the price. Of course, it lacks ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but realistically if you really want that you can add a smart outlet for $10 to toggle it on/off from your phone if need be. It's one of the ones in my rotation. | |
| Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch - 22% off | $179 | Amazon | ⚡This was just announced last month, and this is the first sale we've seen on it. I've (via my kids) been testing it, and am kinda mixed on it. But if you're looking for a deal - it's here! | |
 | Nest Cam 2-Pack (Indoor/Outdoor using batteries) | $249 | Amazon | I use a fleet of Nest Cam's, both at the DCR Cave and at home. They obviously do the security thing, but I've also used them countless times when something incredibly stupid-hilarious happens at the DCR Cave, and this is the only proof of it! | |
| Polar H10 Chest Strap (Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart) - 25% off $89 | $75 | 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%. | |
| Beats Fit Pro - 25% off | $149 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Varia RCT715 Camera Radar - $50 off | $349 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Varia RVR315 Radar - $50 off | $99 | Amazon | ⚡ This is Garmin's radar without the light, so it's a bit smaller as a result. Same radar tech though, and compatible with Garmin/Stages/Hammerhead/Wahoo bike computers. | |
 | Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Fired Outdoor Portable Pizza Oven - $60 off! | $239 | Amazon | ⚡ I know, I know, I still owe everyone a review. Nonetheless, nearly 3 years 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. Also, $239 appears to be the lowest price ever. | |
| Wahoo KICKR ROLLR - $90 off $599 | $509 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | This is Garmin's standalone radar+taillight option, and $149 is pretty much the standard sale-price. | |
| Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 - 15% off $399 | $339 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin inReach Messenger - $70 off | $229 | Amazon | ||
| Apple AirTags (4-Pack) - 11% off! | $88 | Amazon | ⚡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...for everything. | |
| Samsung T9 SSD (1-4TB) - up to 43% off | $126 | Amazon | I use a literal flotilla of these small SSD's for all my photo/video projects until they get moved off to the NAS system (Synology) for longer term storage. I have T5/T7 units, and are picking up a few of the larger T9 ones given the sale prices. Love them, incredibly fast and reliable. | |
| Therabody Theragun Mini - $50 off! | $149 | 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. | |
 | Samsung T7 Portable SSD 1-2TB - 50% off | $79 | 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. Also, the 1TB are only $79, 50% off. | |
| SHOKZ OpenRun Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headphones - 31% off | $124 | Amazon | ||
 | SHOKZ OpenFit - Open-Ear Headphones - 31% off | $124 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Forerunner 165 (Base) - $50 off! $249/$299 | $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 265 Series - $70 off! $449 | $380 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ 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. |
| Garmin Edge 840 - $50 off | $399 | Amazon | The Pro's Closet | This is, best I can tell, the first time Garmin has put the Edge 840 on sale. |
| 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/etc, and other bike computers. |
| Google Pixel Watch 2 - $70 off! | $329 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Fenix 7 Series (All Models/Styles) - $200 off! $699+ | $449+ | N/A | REI | ⚡This is a strong deal if you don't care about the new optical heart rate sensor (including ECG) of the newer Fenix 7 Pro, especially given the Fenix 7 series has received virtually all of the Fenix 7 Pro's new software features, keeping them essentially identical. $449 is the lowest price I've seen to date. |
| Garmin Epix Pro Series (All variants) - $200 off! $899/$999 | $699 | Amazon | The Pro's Closet | ⚡ This is only the second time we've seen these on sale. This is probably my go-to watch these days (middle-sized one), with the singular reason I tend to choose it over the Forerunner 965, being the built-in flashlight for night. |
| Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off! $349/$399 | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |
| Garmin Forerunner 955 - $100 off! | $399 | Amazon | REI | This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's back down to the lowest price ever. 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...) |
| Garmin Edge 840 Solar - $50 off | $499 | Amazon | The Pro's Closet | |
| Garmin Edge 540 - $50 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | First time this has been on sale, and the lowest price to date. I personally prefer the Edge 840 due to the menus being a bit easier to use with a touchscreen. Both Edge 540/840 have identical buttons though for days you don't want the touchscreen. |
| Suunto Veritcal (Solar edition) - $50 off | $699 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Edge 540 Solar - $50 off | $399 | Amazon | REI | |
| Garmin Venu 3 - $50 off! $449 | $399 | Amazon | REI | |
 | Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar: $100 off! $499/$599 | $499 | Amazon | REI | See everything I said above on the Forerunner 955 base, except this one also has solar. |
 | Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - $200 off! $899/$999 | $499 | N/A | REI | ⚡⚡ This is an incredibly strong deal. Especially viewed in light of all the non-Garmin AMOLED competitors charging far more for far fewer features. This non-sapphire edition doesn't have multiband, but testing has pretty clearly shown that Garmin's Epix non-multiband GPS is basically on-par with their competitors multiband config (see my NYC tests for that). |
| Garmin Fenix 7 Pro (All variants) - $200 off (7S/7/7X Pro) - $200 off! $799+ | $599+ | Amazon | The Pro's Closet | ⚡ This is only the second time we've seen the new Fenix 7 Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. The smaller Fenix 7S Pro watch has become my wife's go-to watch since it came out, for all of her training and 24x7 usage. |
| HoverAir X1 Drone - $80 off! | $349 | Amazon | Note: There's virtually always a $80 coupon that can be clicked on the Amazon page. | |
| Garmin Forerunner 55 - $30 off $199 | $169 | Amazon | REI | This is a good little running watch, though, it also supports plenty of other sport types as well. This is the normal sales price. |
| Garmin Instinct 2X - $50 off | $399 | Amazon | REI | This is the second we've seen the Instinct 2X on sale, and since announcement it's received a huge slate of firmware updates and new features. It's best thought of as an Instinct 2.5, given the slightly different internals compared to the rest of the Instinct 2 series. |
| Garmin Instinct Crossover - $50 off | $349 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Forerunner 955 - $100 off! | $399 | Amazon | Pros-closet.sjv | This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's back down to the lowest price ever. 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...) |
| Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar: $100 off! $499/$599 | $499 | Amazon | REI | See everything I said above on the Forerunner 955 base, except this one also has solar. |
| Garmin Forerunner 255/255S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. |
| Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |
| Garmin Epix (Gen 2) & Sapphire - $300 off $899/$999 | From $549 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This deal is back, and at $549 for the base edition, and a mere $599 for the Titanium/Sapphire editions, it's a very strong deal. Sure, not as stong as Uncle Amazon back during Black Friday at $449, but those days are gone. Also, this Epix series just got another huge slate of new features this past week, and continues to get equal new features to the Epix Pro units. |
| Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer (+ Free Motion Plates) - $400 off! $1,399 | $999 | Amazon | Pros-closet.sjv | ⚡ This deal is back, except now they've sweetened it by adding in the $300 Tacx Motion Plates for free (via rebate). So, in the event you didn't pick up before, go forth. |
| Apple Watch Series 9 - $106 off! $399/$499 (cellular) | $292 | Amazon | I have no idea why this specific Apple Watch Series 9 combo is on sale this much more than the other editions (which are on sale to $320), but hey...the one I've linked to is the Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Loop, and is currenetly listed as new at $293. Else, it's $329 ($70 off). | |
| Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | This is a reasoanbly solid deal for this watch, which came out last summer. | |
| Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | ||
 | Google Pixel Watch 1 - $150 off | $199 | Amazon | While the new Pixel Watch 2 just came out last fall, the Pixel Watch 2 got almost all the software features via software update. The Pixel Watch 2 does have a slightly better optical HR sensor, and better battery life, but otherwise is relatively similiar. In fact, the Pixel 1 just got another pile of software updates last week. | |
| Polar Pacer - $70 off! | $166 | Amazon | This is about as low as it gets price-wise for the Polar Pacer (base unit). | |
| Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $60+ Off | From $238 | Amazon | REI | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $238 (on Amazon), a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the last year. It's also from $249 at REI. |
 | Polar Pacer Pro - $70 off! $329 | $269 | Amazon | ||
 | Garmin Index S2 WiFi Scale - 20% off $149 | $119 | Amazon | I use this scale, merely for the weight tracking functions (not body fat). It works just fine, and integrates with the rest of your Garmin data. If you aren't in the Garmin ecosystem, there's plenty of cheaper options. | |
| Peloton Bike - $350 off | $1,095 | Amazon | I believe this is the lowest price we've ever seen on the original/base Peloton Bike model (without a bundle required). 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. Note Peloton has stated/confirmed there will be no 'bigger discounts' on products during this holiday period. | |
| Garmin Epix Pro Series (Sapphire Editions) - $200 off! | $799 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Epix Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. I'd say this is probably my go-to watch these days (middle-sized one), with the singular reason I tend to choose it over the Forerunner 965, being the built-in flashlight for night. |
| Garmin Epix Pro Series - $200 off! $899/$999 | $699 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Epix Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. I'd say this is probably my go-to watch these days (middle-sized one), with the singular reason I tend to choose it over the Forerunner 965, being the built-in flashlight for night. |
| Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $60 off | $189 | Amazon | I've been using these the past few months, after years of using the Beats Studio Buds...man, these things rock. My wife has already started stealing them, which means she'll probably get a set for Christmas so she'll stop sealing them. | |
| Peloton Bike+ is $400 off | $1,995 | Amazon | This is a solid deal for the Bike+. 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. Note Peloton has stated/confirmed there will be no 'bigger discounts' on products during this holiday period. | |
| Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar Sapphire Series - $200 off (7S/7/7X Pro) - $200 off! $799+ | $699 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Fenix 7 Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. The smaller Fenix 7S Pro watch has become my wife's go-to watch since it came out, for all of her training and 24x7 usage. |
| Fenix 7 Pro Solar Series (7S/7/7X Pro) - $200 off! $799+ | $599 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Fenix 7 Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. The smaller Fenix 7S Pro watch has become my wife's go-to watch since it came out, for all of her training and 24x7 usage. |
 | DJI Avata Bundle - $300 off! | $899 | Amazon | The DJI Avata is DJI's smaller form factor FPV drone, and one of my favorites to fly. I don't use it all the time, but more for very specific things requiring a bit more agility (whereas most of the times I'll use the DJI Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, or Mavic 3 Pro). | |
| Tacx Flux 2 Smart Trainer - $300 off $899 | $599 | Amazon | REI | |
 | Hydrow Rowing Machine - $500 off | $1,995 | Amazon | This is one of the other more popular display-laden rowing machines. I haven't tried this, but my sports-tech reviewing buddy DesFit has (linked at side) and liked it. | |
 | Peloton Row - $250+ off | $2,745 | Peloton Site | Peloton has the Peloton Row on sale, both this base unit here, but also various bundled units as well. This is the first times we've seen the base unit (non-bundled) on sale. | |
| Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer - $500 off! $1,399 | $899 | Amazon | REI | ⚡⚡ Holy crap, this is an incredible deal. Get this while it's hot and lasts. Note that you can also pair this with the NEO Motion Plates, which would give you a slight bit of forward/back rolling motion. |
| Garmin Epix Sapphire Titanium (Gen 2) - $400 off! | $449 | Amazon | ⚡⚡⚡ This is a crazy super strong deal, with Amazon having it as low as $499 for Sapphire edition (insane). Note that the Epix Gen 2 has continued to receive virtually all of the Epix Pro new features firmware updates. | |
| Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar: $100 off! $499/$599 | $499 | Amazon | REI | This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and this is now the lowest price we've ever seen on it. I often use this in my accuracy testing comparisons when validating other watches, due to it's very strong GPS performance. This is the SOLAR edition. |
 | DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo with DJI RC-N1 Bundle - $60 off | $659 | Amazon | ||
| DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC2 - $140 off! | $959 | Amazon | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the DJI Mini 4 Pro on sale, for a product DJI rarely discounts so soon after release. This is a great drone, and my go-to unit now for most trips. | |
| 9th Gen Apple 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - $100 off! | $229 | Amazon | ⚡ This is an awesome deal. 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. | |
| Apple Watch Ultra 2 - $70 off! | $729 | Amazon | This is really the first slate of sales we've seen on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the lowest price to date. Note: It'll show $739, and then to get the full extra $10 more off, you have to check that 'Apply Coupon' button under the price. | |
| Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic - $70 off | $330 | Amazon | This is a reasoanbly solid deal for this watch, which came out this past summer. | |
| Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 - $80 off $399 | $329 | Amazon | ||
| Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - $20 off | $279 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off! $349/$399 | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |
 | Withings Body+ WiFi Scale - 30% off | $69 | Amazon | I've long been a fan of the Withings WiFi scales, especially since they can connect/push data to so many platforms, including Zwift! Note that the Body+ simply includes more data. | |
 | 4iiii Precision Ride-Ready Power Meters - $100 off! | $235 | 4iiii Site | This is for their non-drive power meter, in either the 'Ride-Ready' config (they send you a completed unit), or $50 off for the factory-install (where you send in your crank arm). The Ride Ready option is really a solid deal, considering you get a reliable power meter for $235. Ride Ready R7000 - 30% off Ride Ready R8000 - 20% off Factory Install - 20% off | |
| Garmin Forerunner 965 - $50 off! | $549 | Amazon | REI | This is the first time we've seen the Garmin FR965 on sale since launch. While it's not a huge sale, it's something! |
| Apple Airpods (2nd Gen) - $40 off! $159 | $89 | Amazon | These aren't the latest anymore, that's the newer 3rd gen units. But if budget is in mind, it's hard to beat these. It's still what my wife uses as her daily driver, including tons of time on the indoor trainer/bike. | |
 | Insta360 Go 3 - $20 off | $379 | Amazon | I actually quite like the Insat360 Go 3 and the combo of tiny form factor when you want it, and screen-box when you don't. I'm not sure $20 off is a sale worth jumping out of your seat for, but hey...a sale is a sale. | |
| Polar H10 Chest Strap (Dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart) - 24% off $89 | $67 | 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%. Note, the medium- size is the one on sale. | |
| Google Pixel Watch 1 - $100 off | $250 | Amazon | While the new Pixel Watch 2 just came out a month ago, the Pixel Watch 2 got almost all the software features two weeks ago via software update. The Pixel Watch 2 does have a slightly better optical HR sensor, and better battery life, but otherwise is relatively similiar. | |
 | Hammerhead Karoo 2 - $140 off! $399 | $259 | N/A | The Pro's Closet (TPC) | ⚡The Karoo 2 is down to $299 ($100 off), but you can use DCR coupon code DCRAIN40 to get an additional $40 off, bringing it down to $259!!! A very solid deal given all the software updates it's received! |
| Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off! | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is the first time we've seen the Instinct 2X on sale, and since announcement it's received a huge slate of firmware updates and new features. It's best thought of as an Instinct 2.5, as it has almost enough features to really be more of an Instinct 3 (which doesn't exist at this point). |
| Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ 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. |
| Garmin inReach Messenger - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | REI | |
| Garmin Forerunner 55 - $30 off $199 | $169 | Amazon | REI | This is a good little running watch, though, it also supports plenty of other sport types as well. |
 | DJI Mini 2SE Drone - $40 off! $499 ($549 combo) | $299 | Amazon | There's definitely something cool about seeing a sub-$300 drone. And there's nothing wrong with this drone, it's very good. Just be careful though, because it's lack of 360* obstacle avoidance means it's pretty easy to get yourself in a pinch for a beginner drone. | |
 | Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Series $549-$1,149 | $329 | Amazon | [Note: This is a renewed unit] Obviously, the Fenix 6 isn't the latest anymore, but these are still very capable watches and frankly, at $329, there's absolutely nothing from any of their even brand-new competitor watches (COROS, Polar, Suunto, etc...) that can even remotely compete with the features here. Heck, not even Garmin's own pricing for their Fenix 7 Pro can compete with this. Fwiw, all Garmin renewed units go back to the same factory original units came from. Frankly, there's virtually no difference. If you're on a budget, this is where it's at. | |
 | Wahoo POWRLINK ZERO (Single-sided) - $130 off! | $520 | REI | ⚡ This is a very solid deal that happens twice a year, if you were looking at the Wahoo power meter pedals, grab these before this disappears (and it usually disappears). As with the Garmin Rally pedals, I continue to use Wahoo power meter pedals for accuracy testing of other brands/units. | |
| Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - $350 off! $899/$999 | From $449 | Amazon | ⚡⚡⚡ This is a crazy super strong deal, with Amazon having it as low as $449 (insane). Note that the Epix Gen 2 has continued to receive virtually all of the Epix Pro new features firmware updates. Also note: This deal is *STILL* available. Sometimes you'll have to click to show other retailers (on the right side), but it's still live. | |
 | Wahoo POWRLINK ZERO (Dual-sided) - $200 off! $649/$999 | $799 | REI | ⚡ This is a very solid deal that happens twice a year, if you were looking at the Wahoo power meter pedals, grab these before this disappears (and it usually disappears). As with the Garmin Rally pedals, I continue to use Wahoo power meter pedals for accuracy testing of other brands/units. | |
| SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SD Cards - 52% off | $29 | 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 fantastic deal and I'll be filling up. | |
| Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | The Pro's Closet | This is Garmin's standalone radar+taillight option, and $149 is pretty much the standard sale-price. |
| Fitbit Charge 6 - 38% off! $159 | $99 | Amazon | Given this is barely two months old, this is a pretty substantial deal - especially if you don't utilize the built-in GPS side of the device. | |
| Apple Watch Series 9 - $70 off $399/$499 (cellular) | $329 | Amazon | This is Apple's latest Apple Watch model, and did quite well in my review when it launched about two months ago. Especially notable is all the new sports/fitness features it got this year, such as cycling power meter/sensor support. | |
| Garmin Instinct 2S Solar $100 off! | $199 | Amazon | REI | This is a great deal at $199 for the smaller 2S units, especially considering the Instinct 2 series got Training Readiness and a host of other new features over the course of just this year alone. Plus of course all the existing triathlon/power meter/etc support it has built-in. |
| Lasko High Velocity Pro-Performance Fan (U15617) - 23% off | $73 | Amazon | This is one of the most popular indoor trainer fan companies out there, which rivals the Wahoo Headwind fan but cost a fraction of the price. Of course, it lacks ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but realistically if you really want that you can add a smart outlet for $10 to toggle it on/off from your phone if need be. I've actually got this fan in the DCR Cave recently on advice of many people. | |
| Garmin Tactix 7 Pro - $200 off! | $1,099 | Amazon | This is the first time we've seen the Tactix 7 Pro on sale. Note the other Tactix 7 Pro units/variants are also on sale for $200 off too! | |
| DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo with DJI RC - $100 off! | $699 | Amazon | ||
| Garmin HRM-PRO Plus - 25% off! $129 | $97 | Amazon | This strap is one of the two straps I use constantly for other HR sensor accuracy comparisons (alongside Polar H10) | |
 | Amazfit Cheetah Pro - $30 off! | $269 | Amazon | ||
 | GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini - $100 off $399 | $249 | Amazon | This is the lowest price we've seen on the GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini to date! | |
| Garmin Venu 3 - $50 off! $449 | $399 | Amazon | This is the first time we've seen this unit on sale since it launched a couple months ago, so this is a solid deal! | |
| Garmin Forerunner 955 - $100 off! | $399 | Amazon | REI | This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and this is now the lowest price we've ever seen on it. 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. |
| Garmin Forerunner 265 Series - $50 off! $449 | $399 | Amazon | REI | |
 | BOB Revolution Flex Running Stroller - 20% off | $439 | Amazon | There's just no competition in our minds on the best running stroller - it's what we used with all three of our kiddos for everyting from intervals to 20-mile long runs. In fact, we actually have two of them - one at home in Europe, and one with family in Canada that we picked up used. Go Bob Go! | |
| Jackery Portable Power Station - $85 off! | $154 | 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! | |
| Polar Pacer Pro - $70 off! $329 | $259 | Amazon | ||
| Samsung T9 SSD (1-4TB) - up to 43% off | $109 | Amazon | I use a literal flotilla of these small SSD's for all my photo/video projects until they get moved off to the NAS system (Synology) for longer term storage. I have T5/T7 units, and are picking up a few of the larger T9 ones given the sale prices. Love them, incredibly fast and reliable. | |
| GoPro Hero 12 Black - $50 off! | $349 | Amazon | This is the first time we've seen a sale on the GoPro Hero 12 Black. It's not massive, but hey, it's a good start! | |
| SONOS Roam - 25% off | $134 | Amazon | We have a few SONOS speakers around the house and DCR Cave (the Ikea variants at DCR Cave), but by far our favorite is the Roam, which we take outdoors into the garden during the summer, beach vacations, AirBNB's, etc... It has a battery in it, and also connects to both WiFi and Bluetooth. Love, love, love | |
 | Nest Cam Outdoors - $60 off | $119 | Amazon | We use one of these and so far after just about five 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). | |
 | 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. | |
 | Google Nest Mesh WiFi Router - 55% off two-pack | $119 | Amazon | These are the WiFi mesh access points I use both at home and the DCR Cave. Love them - I don't need to dork with them, they just work. Sure, there are fancier 'Pro' versions now, but really, I just have zero issues. | |
| Garmin Forerunner 255/255S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. |
| Garmin Fenix 7 Series (All Models/Styles) - $200 off! $699+ | $499 | Amazon | REI | ⚡This is a strong deal if you don't care about the new optical heart rate sensor (including ECG) of the newer Fenix 7 Pro, especially given the Fenix 7 series has received virtually all of the Fenix 7 Pro's new software features, keeping them essentially identical. |
| Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $50 Off | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is a good deal, especially considering the Instinct 2 series got Training Readiness and a host of other new features over the course of just this year alone. |
| Garmin Forerunner 965 - $50 off! $599 | $549 | Amazon | This is the first time we've seen the Garmin FR965 on sale since launch. While it's not a huge sale, it's something! | |
 | Garmin Venu SQ - 40% off $199/$249 with Music | $149 | Amazon | This is a so-so deal, previous 2021 and 2022 Black Friday's have put it all the way down to $119USD. So...I'd hold. | |
| Fitbit Sense 2 - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | This isn't quite the biggest sale we've seen, so I'd expect it to go a bit lower over Black Friday. | |
| Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Fired Outdoor Portable Pizza Oven - $105 off! | $244 | Amazon | ⚡ I know, I know, I still owe everyone a review. Nonetheless, 2+ years 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. Also, $244 appears to be the lowest price ever. | |
 | Wahoo RIVAL GPS Watch - 50% off $199 | $99 | Amazon | ⚡ At some point, everything becomes a steal. While the Wahoo RIVAL struggles to be comepetitive with higher-end watches, at $99, it's a pretty crazy deal - especially for triathletes where Wahoo does some cool stuff around automatic transitions. | |
| 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). | |
| 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! | |
 | GoPro Hero 12 Black Bundle Combo Kit - $100 off! | $349 | Amazon | This is a solid little bundle, with the GoPro Hero 12, two Enduro batteries, a floating handle, a head-mount, and a carrying case. | |
| FORM Swim Goggles (with heads-up display) - $70 off! | $179 | Amazon | This includes both the goggle, and a 1-year membership to their training/coaching platform. | |
| Therabody Theragun Prime - $110 off! | $189 | 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. | |
 | Therabody Theragun Elite - $30 off | $289 | 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... | |
 | Suunto Vertical - $100 off! | $529 | Amazon | REI | This is the first time we've seen the new Suunto Vertical on sale, and especially notable given the huge firmware update it got this past week with tons of new features from the also-new Suunto Race watch. |
| Apple AirTags (4-Pack) - 20% off! | $79 | Amazon | ⚡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. | |
 | DJI Mini 3 Pro with DJI RC - $150 off! | $767 | Amazon | Up till the Mini 4 Pro came out, this was my go-to drone. It's what I shot almost all my drone footage from, and is great for both cycling and hiking (or trail running with a hydration pack to hold it), as it's super lightweight and includes everything you need. | |
| Oura Ring Products - Up to $100 off | $269 | Amazon | Oura Site | Oura has various products on sale, at various discounts, starting from $269, and up to $100 off depending on the model. |
| Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Trainer - $120 off! $499 | $479 | N/A | REI | ⚡⚡ This deal is back, and it's a pretty incredible deal. It's the Wahoo KICKR CORE down to $499, which REI briefly did this past June. Nobody else seems to be offering this deal, and even though the KICKR CORE got the price reduced to $599 recently, it's virtually unheard of to see these trainers below the $500 marker. |
| Polar Pacer - $70 off! | $169 | Amazon | This is about as low as it gets price-wise for the Polar Pacer (base unit). | |
 | Polar Grit X Pro - $70 off $499/$599 | $449 | Amazon | This isn't realy the best deal we've seen for this watch, as it was down to $338 last year for Black Friday. Maybe we'll see it go lower this year. | |
 | Polar Vantage M2 - $100 $299 | $197 | Amazon | This appears to be the lowest price I have on record for the Poalr Vantage M2, which makes it pretty compelling as a starter triathlon watch! | |
 | Polar Ignite 3 - $75 off! $329 | $256 | Amazon | ||
 | Stages Bike SB20 - $500 off! $2899 | $1,999 | Competitive Cyclist | ⚡ A very solid deal, making it the least expensive smart bike out there. Note that while the deal is marketed as being 37% off, most of the time the bike floats between $2,500 and $2,800. Still - $1,999 is very solid. | |
 | Stages Power Meters - Most 20% off units | $267 | Competitivecyclist | Stages is offering 20% off most of their non-drive-side power meters. | |
 | Hyperice Normatec 3 Leg Recovery System - $100 off | $699 | Amazon | While this isn't something I've personally used, I know a ton of you do very much love it. Go forth! | |
| Apple Watch SE (2022/2nd gen) - $70 off $249/$299 (cellular) | $179 | Amazon | ⚡This is now the lowest price we've ever seen the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 10 features adding in offline topo mapping, power meter support, and plenty more. | |
| Wahoo BOLT V2 - $50 off $279 | $229 | Amazon | REI | This is a good little deal on the Wahoo BOLT V2. |
 | CORE Body Temperature Sensor - 20% off | $227 | CORE Website | Both myself and my wife used these this past summer and fall, in particular as she was training for Kona and preparing for the heat. | |
| Favero Assioma Duo Power Meter Pedals - 120EUR off! $459/$719 (single/dual) | €579 | N/A | Favero Site | ⚡ This is a strong deal from Favero, who is offering their Favero Assioma Duo pedals for 200EUR off. You'll pay the current exchange rate. The exact deal will vary based on which country you're shipping to. |
| Garmin Vivoactive 5 - $50 off! $299 | $249 | Amazon | REI | This is notable in that it's the first time we've seen a sale on the Vivoactive 5, which is essentially a slightly cut-down Venu 3. |
 | DJI OSMO Action 3 - $50 off | $279 | Amazon | Obviously, the newer Action 4 is now out, but that was a relatively modest upgrade from the Action 3 - so this might fit your budget a bit better. | |
| Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |
 | Wahoo CLIMB Accessory - $140 off! $599 | $559 | N/A | REI | This simulates the up and down motion on most KICKR trainers (including KICKR CORE & SNAP), moving your bike up and down. |
 | Withings Body Cardio WiFi Scale - 30% off $59 | $129 | Amazon | ||
| Wahoo Headwind Fan - $60 off! (In Stock) $249 | $240 | Amazon | REI | |
| Elite Suito-T Smart Trainer - $200 off! $799 (incl cassette) | $399 | Amazon | ⚡ This is by far the lowest price we've ever seen on the Elite Suito or Suito-T trainers. Note: The Suito-T is the same exact trainer as the Suito, except without the cassette pre-installed. Also, no idea why it says normally $473, as it's definitely not. | |
 | Wahoo KICKR 2022/V6 - $300 off! $1,299 | $999 | REI | ⚡This is the best deal we've seen on thge Wahoo KICKR V6 to date! | |
| Garmin Venu 3 - $25 off $449 | $425 | Amazon | Well, I guess we have to start somewhere. This is the first discount we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3 series. It's not a big one, just $25 off, courtesy of Uncle Amazon. But hey, better than nothing! | |
| Wahoo CLIMB Accessory - $140 off! $599 | $560 | N/A | REI | This simulates the up and down motion on most KICKR trainers (including KICKR CORE & SNAP), moving your bike up and down. This deal is via REI for REI members using the coupon code GEARUP23 - and ends Nov 21st! |

This deal is via REI for REI members using the coupon code GEARUP23 - and ends Nov 21st! |

| Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - 40% off! $899/$999 | $449 | Amazon | This price floats at $449-$499 the last few days, an incredible deal. | |
| Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $50 Off | $299 | Amazon | ⚡Given the fact that the Instinct 2 just got Training Readiness and other Instinct 2X software features in beta this past week, this starts to make this a very solidly priced unit. | |
| GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini - 30% off $399 | $279 | Amazon | I believe this is the lowest price we've seen to date on the Hero 11 Black mini | |
| Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar: $90 off! $499/$599 | $511 | Amazon | This makes the price basically a wash with the non-Solar edition. But more notably, just last night the Forerunner 955 got a new beta version with the first slate of Epix Pro & Fenix 7 Pro feautres, including Endurance Score & Hill Climb. Solid! | |
| Beats PowerBeats Studio Buds - 40% off! $149 | $89 | Amazon | ⚡I've been using these for two summers now (since 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 Edge 1030 Plus - 50% off! $599 | $319 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is a great deal for Garmin's largest bike GPS. While the newer Edge 1040 is out, the Edge 1030 Plus got a boatload of features, and is still an incredible unit. At this price it's cheaper than the newer/smaller Edge 540 and Edge 840. | |
 | GoPro Hero 11 Black - $150 off $499 | $349 | Amazon | ⚡This deal does NOT require the GoPro subscription, thus, is a very solid deal for the action cam I use daily. | |
| Hammerhead Karoo 2 - $180 off! $399 | $219 | N/A | The Pro's Closet (TPC) | ⚡This isn't an Amazon deal, but heck, it's better than most. The Karoo 2 is down to $259, but you can use DCR coupon code DCRAIN40 to get an additional $40 off, bringing it down to $219!!! A very solid deal given all the recent software updates. |
 | Apple Watch Series 8 - $60 off $399/$499 (cellular) | $329 | Amazon | This is pretty much the normal price, almost perpetually on-sale for this amount on Amazon. | |
 | Samsung Watch5 - 40% off | $179 | Amazon | ⚡This is by far the lowest price we've seen for this unit. Samsung did announce just last week that they plan to announce new products on July 25th, and it's heavily likely a Watch6 is one of those products, thus the probable reason for this extreme discount. | |
| 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. | |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro - $70 off | $379 | Amazon | This watch is somewhat always on sale, but hey, it's still on-sale. | |
 | Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V1 - $40 off $379 | $159 | Amazon | While this is not the newer ROAM V2, this is still a great unit, and still gets solid firmware updates. For $159, seems pretty solid to me. | |
| Apple Watch Series 8 - $120 off $399/$499 (cellular) | $279 | Amazon | ⚡This is now by far the lowest price we've seen to date on the Apple Watch Series 8 - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 10 features releasing soon adding in offline topo mapping, power meter support, and plenty more. | |

| Google Pixel Watch - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | ⚡This is the lowest price we've seen to date. The watch also got some new sports/fitness/health features just a few weeks ago as well. | |
| Peloton Bike+ is $350 off | $2,145 | Amazon | This is a reasonable deal for the Bike+. 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. | |
 | Garmin Edge 830 Sensor Bundle - $150 off | $349 | Amazon | While this isn't a big sale, it's actually the lowest price the unit/bundle has been offered in the 3 years since release. | |
| Fitbit Versa 4 - 30% off | $139 | Amazon | This is a pretty good deal for teh Fitbit Versa 4, and slightly better than the best sales price to date. | |
| Garmin Venu SQ & Venu SQ Music - 40% off $199/$249 with Music | From $119 | Amazon | The newer Venu SQ 2 is out but at $119, it's hard to beat this deal as an entry/gateway into the Garmin ecosystem. | |
| Garmin Edge 1030 Plus - 50% off! $599 | $299 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is a great deal for Garmin's largest bike GPS. While the newer Edge 1040 is out, the Edge 1030 Plus got a boatload of features, and is still an incredible unit. At this price it's cheaper than the newer/smaller Edge 540 and Edge 840. | |
 | Garmin Vivoactive 4 - Still on sale $299 | $169 | Amazon | There's argueably no device in Garmin history that Garmin has put on sale more times than the Vivoactiv 4. Yet, here are, agian on sale. Realistically, there won't be a successor to the Vivoactive 4 in a MIP display (that the Venu series, in AMOLED). So if you own a musuem of MIP display watches, and want to ensure you have Vivoactive 4 units for decades into the future - nows your best price to date. | |
| Garmin Fenix 7 Series (All Models/Styles) - $100 off! $699+ | From $599 | Amazon | ⚡Most of the Fenix 7 series, especially the Fenix 7 Saphire models, are at least $100 off, with some upwards of $300 off (depends on exact model). | |
| Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - $300 off $899/$999 | $599 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is a very solid deal for the Epix, and I think the lowest price to date. While the Epix Pro just came out, hardware-wise that merely added a flashlight and made multiband GNSS standard. All the new software features are coming to the Epix Gen 2 in a software update later this summer, with beta likely in the next few days/weeks. | |
| Garmin Epix Sapphire Black Titanium (Gen 2) - $130 Off | $869 | Amazon | ⚡The white edition is $300 off, whereas the black sapphire edition is only $130 off. Thus, this is an good but not as incredible deal for the Epix sapphire black. While the Epix Pro just came out, hardware-wise that merely added a flashlight and made multiband GNSS standard (which this Sapphire edition already had multiband). All the new software features are coming to the Epix Gen 2 in a software update later this summer, with beta likely in the next few days/weeks. | |
| Garmin Epix Sapphire White Titanium (Gen 2) - $300 Off | $699 | Amazon | ⚡⚡This is a very solid deal for the Epix, and I think the lowest price to date. While the Epix Pro just came out, hardware-wise that merely added a flashlight and made multiband GNSS standard (which this Sapphire edition already had multiband).

 | Garmin Venu 2S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | This is part of the Garmin Venu series that directly competes with the Apple Watch. While the Venu 2/2S is one version behind, the main differences the more expensive Venu 2 Plus has (also on sale) are around voice/speaker/calling. | |
 | Garmin Venu 2 Plus - $100 off $449 | $349 | Amazon | This is Garmin's main competitor to the Apple Watch series, and this is their latest edition. It's likely due for a refresh this fall (almost always has annual refreshes), but this is still a very solid watch that's extremely popular. | |
 | Garmin Instinct - $50 off $299 | $142 | Amazon | This is a pretty solid price, but it's also a pretty old unit at 5 years old. Still, it's better than a heck of a lot of its newer competitors, and is generally quite dependable. Note that while the 'discount amount' shows higher on Amazon, it normally floats around $190-$200. | |
| Wahoo BOLT V2 - $50 off $279 | $220 | Amazon | ⚡This is a good little deal on the Wahoo BOLT V2, which continues to see solid upgrades includes Wahoo's free-ride Summit Segments this past spring. | |
 | Suunto 9 Peak Pro - $150 off $549 | $399 | Amazon | The Suunto 9 Peak Pro is one of Suunto's top watches. While the new top-dog is the just released Suunto Vertical, the software remains essentially the same for the Suunto 9 Peak Pro, which just last week got Strava Live Segments and other new features recently. | |
| Fitbit Inspire 3 - $20 off | $79 | Amazon | This is more or less the usual sale price for the Fitbit Inspire 3 | |
| Lasko High Velocity Pro-Performance Fan (U12104) - 27% off | $47 | Amazon | This is one of the most popular indoor trainer fan companies out there, which rivals the Wahoo Headwind fan but cost a fraction of the price. Of course, it lacks ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but realistically if you really want that you can add a smart outlet for $10 to toggle it on/off from your phone if need be. I've actually got this fan in the DCR Cave recently on advice of many people. I have the pictured U15617 above, but this is a slightly newer model - the U12104. | |
| Polar Grit X Pro $499/$599 | $388 | Amazon | This is more or less the standard sale price for the Grit X Pro. | |
 | Google Pixel Buds A Series: 50% off! | $59 | Amazon | Well that's a pretty crazy price drop. | |
| SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SD Cards - 52% off | $29 | 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 fantastic deal and I'll be filling up. | |
 | Apple AirPods Max Wireless Headphones - 18% off | $449 | Amazon | So here's the thing about this whole section: It's all the geeky gadget things I love. Excpet, in this case, I haven't bought these yet. Just like the rest of the section is for you to try and resist the temperation, this item is for me to see if I can resist the price point. Realistically, I don't need it. My old/existing Surface headphones mostly work just fine. But, I also don't need Bikes N+1... May the force be with you. | |
 | Elite Direto XR-T Smart Trainer- 55% off $1,000 | $359 | Amazon | ⚡This is a crazy out of left field deal. Seriously, it's a very solid direct drive trainer, and now FAAAR cheaper than either the Zwift Hub or Wahoo KICKR CORE. The "-T" part of the naming simply means it doesn't come with a cassette (as many trainers don't), but that's easy enough to add. Really solid deal to consider. | |
