Finally! With Cyber Monday officially here, there's a great deal on the Garmin Venu 3 - at over £95 off. We've been waiting a while for this one. This is one of the pricier Garmin devices, but it's also one of the newest and most advanced, with on-screen animated workouts to follow along with and over 40 workout modes to choose from, alongside excellent sleep and stress tracking.

Garmin Venu 2: was £329.99 now £199 at Amazon

The Garmin Venu 2 is an excellent tracker - now with up to £131 off! It's worth considering if the pricey Garmin Venu 3 isn't within your budget. It's a smaller design (that's what the 'S' stands for) at 40mm, seamless and available in a selection of neutral colourways (though the gold has already sold out at Very). This watch focuses on improving everyday fitness and wellbeing, rather than a particular sport - but there are many workout profiles to track your activity and suggested workouts available for those looking to improve.

Garmin Forerunner 255 Music: was £349.99 now £236.99 at Argos

The Garmin Forerunner 255 Music is a runner's best friend - but it also works for hikers and walkers. Now over £100 off in the Argos Cyber Monday Garmin sale, it's £22 cheaper than it was this time last week!

What makes it different from others in the range is its weight - at just 49g, it's one of the brand's lightest watches - but it's always worth weighing up the Garmin Venu vs Forerunner before making a final decision. The original Forerunner 255 is also on sale, for £219 (save £80), but you can't control music on your wrist with this one.

Garmin Forerunner 265: was £429.99 now £389.99 at Cotswold Outdoor UK

Our tester called the Garmin Forerunner 265 'almost perfect' for women looking to improve their running. It features advanced metrics - like vertical oscillation, ground contact time, and cadence - as well as Garmin Coach and in-depth app analysis. While it lacks advanced map functionality, you can still get maps via third-party apps like Komoot and AllTrails.

Which watch should I buy in the Garmin sale?

The best deal in the Garmin sale so far for Cyber Monday is on the Garmin Fenix 6 (save £250 at Amazon). However, if you don't know which Garmin watch is the best choice for you, it's worth considering all the options.

My favourite deal for beginners and anyone looking to make fitness new year's resolutions is the Garmin Vivoactive 5. Now with over £71 off in the blue colourway, this watch is the perfect entry-level fitness tracker, complete with all the fitness, health, and sleep monitoring sensors to improve your daily routine and complement your lifestyle.

Whether you go running 20 minutes a day or have just enjoy walking, you can't go wrong with a pick from Garmin's Forerunner range. While some of the devices in this selection stretch well past £500, the Forerunner 55 is just £124 right now. This running watch is easy to use on the move and prioritises recording your mileage, pace, and route with advanced GPS tracking. The Forerunner 55 also does the basics like recording your daily step count, tracking your sleep, predicting daily calorie burn, and receiving call and text notifications.

It is one of the more basic trackers in the range but it's a truly excellent choice for a device similar to one of the best Fitbits but with more features, a seamless watch design, and better GPS tracking.

For those weighing up Oura Ring vs Garmin or interested in the Apple Watch Series 9 for more of a smartwatch, the Venu or vívoactive range may be a better fit. These help monitor many different types of exercise and provide seamless integration with daily life, offering features like Garmin Pay and Spotify or Amazon Music connection. They aren't sports-focused like the Forerunner or Fenix range, making them better all-rounders for improving your wellbeing. They also have a more stylised design with a much less rugged appearance, so they blend into everyday clothing better.
