Being one of the biggest fitness tracker and smartwatch brands in the world, it's worth shopping the Garmin sale if you're looking to improve your health and fitness in 2025.

There's truly no better time to shop than this week either, with fresh deals to be had ahead of the Amazon Spring Sale. Today, I can see almost £200 off some of the best fitness trackers from Garmin - including the Epix Pro Generation 2 (save £181.72) and our favourite for runners, the Forerunner 255 (save £136.74).

As the digital health editor at woman&home, I've tried and tested many of the best Garmin watches. I wear one daily myself and I've covered key Garmin sale periods for the last four years, so I'm well placed to highlight which watches are worth buying and the savings worth having.

Garmin Venu 2S

The Garmin Venu 2S is worth considering if the pricey Garmin Venu 3 isn't within your budget. Now it's even cheaper than it was before Christmas. It's a smaller design (what the 'S' stands for) at 40mm, seamless and available in a selection of neutral colourways. 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

The Garmin Forerunner 255 should be the go-to for runners, walkers, and those anyone who's ever thought about doing a triathlon. It's the perfect catch-all watch for cardio exercise, with 14-days of battery life between charges. This is the best deal I've seen on this watch since Black Friday last year.

Garmin Forerunner 55

Garmin Venu 3

The Garmin Venu 3 is a premium smartwatch-fitness-tracker-hybrid that'll look just at home on your wrist over brunch as it will during a gym workout. It's still pricey at almost £380 but if you can stretch the budget, it's a great level-up from the Vivoactive 5 for those who like to do a bit of everything, from running to Pilates.

Garmin Vivosmart 5

The biggest saving right now is on the Garmin Epix Pro Generation 2 - with its £200 discount. This rugged smartwatch is ideal for adventurers and those who love the great outdoors, with its ultra-long battery life and superior GPS.

However, if you don't know which Garmin you're after, 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. 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 want to get into marathon training, 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 £133 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 the Fitbit Charge 6 or Versa 4 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.

When does Garmin have sales?

On third party retailers like Amazon, Argos, Currys, Cotswold Outdoors, and Sigma Sports, you'll find sales during all the peak seasons - such as Black Friday weekend, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, and in the summer, with savings racking up to over £300 in some cases.

The Amazon Spring Sale is also back for 2025, offering more savings across fitness trackers and other health and wellbeing must-haves, including dumbbells, kettlebells, and yoga mats, and we'll update this page when we know more.

Outside of this big sales season, Garmin hosts a sale year-round on the Clearance Deals section of the website. Here, you'll find savings on watches, navigation tools, and indoor cycling equipment.
