We have seen it drop to a much lower price, and that may happen come Black Friday itself, but we still rate this current saving on Garmin's Instinct 2X Solar smartwatch. It practically has an infinite battery life when exposed to at least three hours of direct sunlight per day and is built to military standard. You also get 24/7 health and fitness tracking, along with a built-in LED flashlight.
Dropping to its lowest price on Amazon, now is a great time to snap up the excellent Garmin Venu 3S. It expertly blends smartwatch and fitness functions, with all information displayed on a gorgeous AMOLED display. The 'S' here refers to its smaller 41mm size, but it's still ideal for all wrists. The French Gray colour (pictured) is cheapest, but all other colours come in under AU$600.
With 47% off, this is a sensational deal on a fantastic Garmin smartwatch. It's loaded with fitness tracking features, including a full triathlon and, as the name suggests, it can store music onboard for offline listening. The built-in GPS is also especially accurate, meaning you really can leave your phone at home when you're out for a run.
Save AU$52
Looking for a fun way to encourage your child to remain active? This is a great activity tracker that's also swimproof. It's also got great battery life and is sized well for small wrists.

Black Friday Garmin deals: FAQs
When will the Black Friday Garmin deals start in 2024?
Black Friday officially begins on November 29th this year, but the fight for your hard-earned cash and attention means that retailers start their discounts earlier and earlier with every passing year.
As such, we're already seeing big deals on offer at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and UK outlets including Argos and John Lewis.
The end of sales is clearer cut, with most of the discounts ending on Cyber Monday, December 2. We'll be keeping track of all the sales in the run-up to the event and during the sales itself, tracking prices and stock so that you don't have to.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a Garmin?
When it comes to low prices and the range of devices on offer, Black Friday is definitely the best time of year to buy a Garmin. You're going to get the most choice because that's when the largest range of models is on offer. What's more, as the biggest sales event of the year it almost always yields the most generous discounts, which means more savings for you.
What Black Friday Garmin deals should I expect?
It's safe to say that we can expect discounts across the entire Garmin range, including its smartwatch and fitness trackers, golf companions, and even its cycling range. Last year Black Friday saw discounts on many debut models from 2023 including the Garmin Forerunner 265, Forerunner 965, Venu 3, Garmin Fenix 7 Pro, and the Epix Pro.
This year is shaping up to be even better. Black Friday's a little over a week away, and we've seen tons of deals already, and expecting further discounts on the Forerunner 55, Instinct 2 and Fenix 7. We're also keeping an eye out on the newer models. We'd love to see some big savings on the new Garmin Fenix 8 and the new cheaper Forerunner 165.
