- Amazon is currently discounting dozens of Garmin devices for Presidents’ Day weekend.
- Save up to 42 percent on editor-tested fitness trackers and outdoor gear.
- The rugged Fēnix 7X Pro and beginner-friendly vívoactive 5 are amongst the editor-tested devices on sale.
AN APPLE WATCH is a fine device for most people, but those who regularly train outdoors, inclement weather not withstanding, a rugged upgrade might be a necessity. While most smart watches are inherently pretty sturdy, the perfect device is contingent on the use case. Garmin makes some of the most outdoor-friendly fitness trackers on the market, but they don’t always come cheap. This year’s Presidents’ Day, though, is a little different. Right now, you can save up to 42 percent on editor-recommended Garmin smart watches and outdoor gear just ahead of cutting season.
The sale isn’t limited to just a few models, either; there are all types of sizes, styles, and models on discount. One of our favorite watches for hardcore runners, the Forerunner 955, is currently over $100 off. The utilitarian Fēnix 7X Pro Sapphire is also over 40 percent off. There’s a little something for everyone here. We curated some of our top picks below, and we’re fairly certain you won’t find better savings anywhere else.

Another one of our favorite deals: nearly 40 percent off the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition. This watch is ideal for hiking, camping, and all-season trail running. It’s made with an ultra-durable case and features a built-in LED flashlight and a scratch-resistant sapphire lens with a titanium bezel.
If you’re looking for something a little more budget-oriented, the Garmin Vívoactive 5 is a great option for beginners, and it’s now 35 percent off and under $200. It features all of the essentials like a customized sleep score, a super helpful BodyBattery monitor to regulate your energy levels, and a wide range of health monitoring features.
There are a few non-fitness tracker options worth mentioning as well. The Garmin InReach Mini 2 is a literal lifesaver and a must-have for avid hikers. The compact satellite communicator is lightweight, user-friendly, and boasts location sharing and advanced navigation features. It’s now over $100 off—a not-so-literal lifesaver.
You can also take 25 percent off the Garmin Varia Cycling Rearview Radar, a different kind of emergency device for cyclists. It adds an extra layer of protection against cars coming up from behind, signaling any oncoming potential threat.
Some of our other favorite deals include 25 percent off the solar-powered Instinct 2, 27 percent off the souped-up Instinct 2X, and 33 percent off the Garmin Venu Sq 2, another capable value option.
