If you're in the market for a top-tier sports watch to level up your fitness training, recovery tracking, and general day-to-day health stats, this might be the deal you’ve been waiting for.

Shop all outdoor deals in the Blacks Black Friday sale

Usually, a watch with this much going for it would cost you a small fortune. But right now, outdoor retailer Blacks has slashed the price of the 47mm Sapphire Edition from £870 to just £399 - that’s 54% off and a massive saving of £471. Easily the best price I’ve seen for this model in the UK.

Save a massive £471 in this early Black Friday deal on the Sapphire version of Garmin’s premium Epix Pro multisport watch. The 47mm version is a great all-round size and was my personal choice for marathon training - comfortable on the wrist, but still with a big, bright AMOLED display and a heap of pro-level training tools.

Why this deal is worth your attention

At 50 % off, the Epix Pro (Gen 2) is an absolute steal for anyone who wants “best of Garmin” without paying the full flagship cost. Its highlight is a sharp, vivid AMOLED, always-on display, which is far more vibrant than those typical power-saving transflective screens.

The Pro adds features the base Epix doesn’t, including a new optical heart-rate sensor, and (notably) a built-in LED flashlight, useful in low-light or nighttime use. It supports multi-band GNSS / SatIQ, which dynamically switches among satellite systems to balance accuracy and battery life.

In terms of durability, it boasts Garmin’s usual high standards, with a titanium bezel, sapphire crystal lens, and water resistance to 10 ATM. It also includes full mapping, a full slate of health and sport metrics like VO₂ max, HR variability, training load, sleep, and more.

Battery life remains pretty strong for an AMOLED flagship, too, with Garmin claiming up to 31 days in smartwatch mode (less in always-on or heavy GPS usage) and many hours of full navigation modes.

At half price, you’re essentially getting the ideal Garmin for map-focused athletes - top-tier sensors, amazing display, durable design, and robust software - at a price you probably won't come across again in a while!
