What if I told you you could get a watch with more or less the same features as Garmin's Fenix 8 but for 25% of the price? Too good to be true? However, this isn't the case on this occasion. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 is a brilliant, rugged smartwatch that sells for only £214.22 on Black Friday – a fraction of the price of the Fenix 8 (which is £800 with a deal).

In our review of the watch, my colleague Mat said, "Garmin used to be my go-to recommendation for rugged GPS watches, but with this latest update from Amazfit, it's becoming harder and harder to see the value gained by spending considerably more."
