I thought the best Garmin outdoor watch had already hit its lowest Black Friday price – I was wrong

Just a few days ago, I reported on a Garmin Fenix 8 deal and thought, "Hey, this watch won't get any cheaper than this on Black Friday." I was wrong! Blacks decided to undercut H Samuel, slashing the price by a whopping £131, which is insane, really, considering the watch is as new as it gets.
