Previously both were priced at $199. Walmart is now selling the Garmin Instinct 2 for just $179 and the Vivoactive 5 for $189, the lowest-ever prices on both models.

These are two of the best Black Friday Garmin deals we've seen so far, the Instinct is a formidable outdoor adventure watch, while the Vivoactive 5 is a brilliant all-rounder and a great Apple Watch alternative.
