The anticipation surrounding Black Friday sales has barely begun, yet Garmin has unexpectedly launched significant price reductions on its popular line of running smartwatches. For those dedicated to tracking performance and pushing limits, this is a moment to take notice.
Leading the charge are the Forerunner 265 and 965, both now available at their lowest recorded prices – a substantial $150 off their original retail value. This isn’t a minor adjustment; it’s a dramatic shift that puts premium running technology within reach for a wider audience.
The Forerunner 265, celebrated for its vibrant AMOLED screen and comprehensive training metrics, has long been a favorite among serious runners. Its ability to connect to bike power meters and utilize dual-band GPS elevates it above many competitors. Both the standard 46mm and the smaller 42mm ‘S’ version are currently priced at $299.99.
Stepping up in features, the Forerunner 965 builds upon the 265’s strengths by adding integrated maps. This is a game-changer for those who explore new routes and demand navigational precision. Normally priced at $599.99, it’s now available for $449.99, representing a considerable saving.
These price drops, flagged as a “limited time deal,” appear to be more than just a pre-Black Friday teaser. Garmin’s inclusion of these watches in their “holiday gift guide” suggests a sustained period of reduced pricing is likely.
Beyond the flagship models, the Forerunner 165 and 165 Music are also seeing discounts of $50, bringing their prices down to $199.99 and $249.99 respectively. The Vivoactive 6 is also available for $249.99, a $50 reduction.
For runners and fitness enthusiasts, this is an opportunity to invest in cutting-edge technology without breaking the bank. The combination of advanced features, accurate data tracking, and now, compelling pricing, makes these Garmin watches a truly exceptional value.
