With Black Friday having been and gone, you might think that there wouldn't be much left in the Garmin sale. Well, I'm here to tell you there's still time to save, with some excellent discounts on the Vivoactive, Venu, Forerunner, and Fenix watches.
To help you find 'the one' before the weekend's officially over, I've gathered all the discounts worth noting into this one guide. If you're looking to take your workouts more seriously in 2026 - or shop for someone who is - then finding your best Garmin watch will be a resolution win before the New Year even begins. With advanced insights into over 40 different workouts, including ground contact time and vertical oscillation to help runners improve their performance, one of these fitness trackers can truly make a difference.
Update on 30/11/2025: I'm updating this article every day to bring you the best of the Garmin sale. Today, I found a new deal on the Garmin Forerunner 255 after the first one sold out and updated prices to reflect some better-than-ever deals on the Vivoactive range at Very and Amazon.)

Which Garmin watch should I buy in the sale?
I have three Garmin watches that I'd recommend to anyone - and two of them are in the Garmin sale for Black Friday 2025. Firstly, the Garmin Vivoactive 6 is my favourite for those who enjoy all workouts, from running to Pilates. It has over 40 workout modes, nap detection, and all-day stress tracking, among other impressively advanced features, and it all comes wrapped up in a sporty and lightweight design.
The second is the Garmin Forerunner 265. This is my favourite running watch, with its advanced metrics built into every running profile - including ground contact time, vertical oscillation, and power. The smaller size comes in fun pink or green options, unique to the 265, which is another bonus.
My third recommendation is the Garmin Venu 4. However, this one is unlikely to be in the Garmin sale for Black Friday this year as it's a brand-new release. If you fancy its smartwatch designs over the more fitness-heavy styles, then I can recommend the Garmin Venu 3S as a watch that is on offer right now.
It's almost as good as the Venu 4, complete with excellent smartwatch features, detailed workout tracking, sleep metrics, and stress insights. You'll also be able to listen to your favourite music without your phone and download your favourite apps to use on your wrist.
As always, though, it's important to weigh up your options. For example, take a look at the Garmin Vivoactive vs Venu collections as these are similar in many ways - and very different in others.
What watches won't be in the Garmin sale?
I haven't seen any newly released Garmin watches in the Black Friday sale this year. That means you're unlikely to see a deal on the Garmin Venu 4, X1, Forerunner 970, 570, or Fenix 8 Pro before the festive seasonal savings begin next month.
However, you will find older models of these collections at a discount. If a watch has been on sale for at least a year, it'll likely be in the Garmin sale for Black Friday. The only exception to this is the Vivoactive 6, which was only released in April, but already has a minor discount at Very.
How does the Garmin sale compare to other fitness tracker deals?
This Black Friday, the best savings are on watches from Garmin as the fitness trackers are stocked at so many retailers. For example, at Currys, you'll find discounts of up to 60% on the Fenix, Vivoactive, and Venu collections, which is a tough act to follow.
Amazon is also offering some decent savings on the Forerunner and Vivoactive ranges, which I'd recommend to anyone looking to improve their fitness in the new year through running, cardio, and strength training workouts.
However, there are naturally better deals for those looking to buy a smartwatch. You could also shop for one of the many excellent Fitbit deals on offer. Quickly, a smartwatch and fitness tracker are largely the same thing, but you can normally use your watch as a replacement for your phone with a smartwatch. Most good smartwatches can make and receive phone calls and be used for music playback via Bluetooth, for example.
Garmin watches are fitness trackers with some smartwatch features, but the Apple Watch Series 10 and 11, or the Google Pixel Watch 4, are smartwatches. There are also deals on these over the Black Friday sale, so they are also worth exploring.
Those more interested in sleep and stress data should look at weighing up Garmin vs Oura Ring, with great savings on both.
